...Diablo III Claims its First Real-World Victim, 32-Year Old Russell Shirley

Good friend and writer here at Gameranx, Dave Oshry tweeted that the first Diablo III-related death has occurred. It’s sad that we have come to see this as a common phenomenon. It is as if we all expected there to be deaths associated with the game.

32-year old Russell Shirley was found dead in his home over the weekend by his landlord and coworker. He suffered a heart attack after a three-day binge on Diablo III.

The blog post Oshry linked us to indicates that Shirley lived a sedentary lifestyle, and while his place of employment offered free gym membership, he was hard pressed to use it.

雖然都預計會發生, 但始終係唔開心既事. 打機都係為求開心, 滿足. 無謂搞到身體差, 甚至連
命都無埋. 所以各位戰友, 除0左在虛擬世界拼殺, 更重要係注意休息及作適量既實際運動.

不過, 對我來講, 0係呢個零星期既diablo世界, 令我好輕易減去0左兩磅脂肪. 都算為健康帶來一d正面既影響.

睇完呢則唔開心既新聞, 又睇睇另一則輕鬆d既新聞.

大陸中心／綜合報導

《暗黑破壞神3》(Diablo，以下簡稱D3)熱潮席捲全球，中國大陸並未開放這款遊戲，加上從5月26日開始，淘寶網的「實體包」開始遭到強制下架，不少大陸玩家取其英文諧音，用「大菠蘿3」(正確應為大波蘿)作為交易暗語，現在有玩家投訴被騙，花了5百元人民幣(將近新台幣2300元)收到三顆大波蘿，讓他們啞巴吃黃蓮，吃了一個昂貴的悶虧。

所謂上有政策，下有對策。淘寶網全面禁售《暗黑破壞神3》，大陸賣家只好改賣「第三代大波蘿」，藉此證明人民群眾的智慧是無窮無盡，然而「道高一尺，魔高一丈！」黑心賣家真的把水果賣給受害玩家，就算向淘寶投訴，淘寶也只能回應「貨物與商品描述一致，不予受理」。

淘寶網也警告消費者，雖然販售「大菠蘿」並不犯法，但民眾購買「大菠蘿」後卻不一定會拿到「DIABLO」；如果商家賣了你「大菠蘿3」，你也確實拿到「大菠蘿3斤」，那只是剛剛好而已，淘寶網不會介入、保障這類消費糾紛。

大陸真係除0左賊之外, 咩都可以係假. 不過, 今次係真啦, 仲係真係比幾個真菠蘿你. 吹都吹佢唔脹.
