Woman sues Nintendo for death of son

Associated Press
Published Feb 24, 2002

BATON ROUGE, LA. A Louisiana woman is suing Nintendo, alleging her 30-year-old son suffered seizures after playing video games for eight hours a day, six days a week.

The lawsuit filed in federal court says the man died last year after hitting his head and mouth on a table during one of the seizures. It claims the man never had seizures before buying a Nintendo-64 player in 1999.

His mother is seeking unspecified damages for her own medical and funeral expenses, for mental and emotional anguish, and for her son's lost future earnings.

A spokesman for Nintendo is declining comment on the lawsuit. In court records, the company denies any wrongdoing.


What a freakin' joke! It's lawsuits like this that infuriate me and make me lose so much hope in humanity. First of all, who in the world sues for their dead child's future earnings? Wrongful death or not? Give me a break here!! That's one sure way to show how TRASHY you are... trying to weasel out every bit of cash you can in a lawsuit against a big company. You would think that after the first seizure, this kid, excuse me.. MAN would have gotten a clue to stop playing for 48 hours a week. At my peak, I didn't even play EVERQUEST that long, and it's a dynamic game. What games on the N64 could you be so addicted to that you play them longer than most people go to work in a week? All I have to say is... READ THE F'ING WARNINGS, and don't blame a company for your lack of self-control.


"It's also hard to see how the woman can seriously expect to sue Nintendo for "her son's lost future earnings" when he was a thirty year old who spent 48 hours a week sat in front of the TV playing Mario."

My thoughts exactly...

After watching that Glutton Bowl last night on Fox... the horrible thought of eating brains keeps entering my mind... I keep picturing what it must feel like to devour a cow brain, imagining the slithery, liver-like texture, and how bland it must taste -- it's making me sicker and sicker. I can't believe that tiny little Japanese guy won by eating 53 freaking brains last night... I don't know where he would fit it in his 130lb body on top of the 30 something hotdogs he downed earlier that night. Talk about determination and heartburn!

Is Big Really Always Better? No.. it's not what you think. Really.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been working a 6am - 4pm shift, and it's been so hard to keep my eyes open by the time 11a comes around. I go to bed around 10pm now and wake up at 4am (which is when I USED to be up), so it's a total change of sleep for me. At work, even when we're super busy... sometimes I just want to find a cozy corner somewhere and take a nap. Caffeine has been my best friend... and the only way I've been able to manage it. I'd really like to quit drinking caffenie, but right now, there's no way. I was able to manage fine without caffeine for the first month of the year, but that was because I had a more compatible work/sleep schedule. When will I be able to get used to this?

I Love This Girl

Ever since I saw a local news story on this girl a few years ago, I've been totally blown away by her artistic talent. She was 16 when I first heard about her, and she lived in a nearby suburb called Allen, TX. Her name is Amanda Dunbar... and I believe she turns 20 this year.

She looks like your typical cute, everyday girl, but with an amazing gift of painting things that capture so much soul and meaning. When you look at her paintings, they take you there... wherever and whenever it is. I get such a peaceful feeling when I look at her work. Not much artwork does that to me.

I especially like these:
Solitude
Simple Beauty
Walk Together


Amanda seems to crank out these paintings like it's second nature for her. It must be so nice to be blessed like that. I wish I could find something to express myself like she does.

This is What Happens When you Kick a Man When He's Down

I got that bitch RIGHT BACK! He stole some hoes from me while I was taking turns, and I returned the deed by killing 5 times as many whores. Silly...

STUPID TAXI CAB

On my way home tonight, I was driving in the far left lane, and then suddenly had to slow way down when I came up to a small cluster of cars. There wasn't really any traffic in front of them (it was 12am for goodness sake), so it had to be something else. I noticed a car in the middle lane was getting tailgated pretty badly, and then I saw them signal to get over to the left lane, which made me more frustrated. With their left signal still on, it suddenly looked like they were going into the right lane instead... but then.. no.. they swerved into the right lane and then back into the middle lane, and then all of the sudden into the far left lane -- signal still on. I kept my distance as I realized that this car was on crack.

There were about 4 cars behind that car including myself, driving as cautiously as possible. We drove for like 4 miles at 50 mph watching the car, which was actually a Taxi (looked like a Dodge Neon taxi), drive erratically across all the lanes, jerking and swerving worse than any drunk driver I've ever seen. It almost looked like there was a struggle inside the car, like two people fighting over the steering wheel. They would brake real hard, swerve left, swerve right, and not really stay in any particular lane. I was like.. OH MY GOSH is someone going to do something? I didn't want to even try to pass the taxi just in case it would hit my car. It almost looked possessed. I drove my car parallel to some man and waved over at him and noticed he was on his cellphone and it looked like he might be reporting it, so I kinda nodded at him to acknowledge what he was doing. All of the sudden, still jerking around, the car took an exit, and to my relief, the man with the cellphone was able to follow it there... I couldn't get over fast enough so I missed it. I sped up, looking for the next exit which ended up being like 3 miles away. I figured the drama would be over by the time I could turn around and find them, but I wanted to try anyway. I exited, made a U-turn and came back to the exit where I saw the taxi last, and as I was making a U-turn under the bridge again (to go in the direction of where I thought the taxi was), I saw a cop fly by the opposite direction and thought -- DAMN!

I found my way around and tried to figure out where that cop went. After driving a little ways, I saw a cluster of 3 or 4 cop cars by some run-down looking apartment complex and saw the infamous taxi. I made a U-turn and pulled into the street, and took a quick peek at the situation and left. All I could see was like 4 cops surrounding this guy with dark skin, and wore a white oxford shirt half untucked and a tie that looked loosened, and he was gesturing with his arms as if to explain what happened.

I never got to find out exactly what happened. I'm normally not a rubbernecker, but for some reason, this situation interested me since I had never seen anything like that before.

FINALLY A HEADSET THAT DOESN'T MAKE MY EARS FEEL LIKE THEY'RE BLEEDING

SnOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's going to stick though. If I still lived in Pennsylvania, I would definitely have taken snow for granted or even gotten sick of it. I was only there until I was 3, but I clearly remember it was snowy there a LOT. We lived on a house on a hill and we'd sled down on it when it snowed, and I remember throwing snowballs at some window upstairs (aiming at my little sister Michelle heh). Gosh, I miss those days...

Sorry I haven't updated much lately... last week I was training my new replacement to do my old job so I had no time to really write about anything. Tomorrow I start a new position that'll hopefully not involve talking to customers as much! Hope to blog more once I get going over there!

By the way.... I've suddenly started playing Pimpwar again. It's addictive, but you don't get to play very long until you run out of turns. It's still enjoyable though.
