How the hell does a person go 40 hours without eating? I've gone through some insanely busy work/school periods where I literally don't have even 5 minutes to grab a bite. After only 12 hours I start getting very conscious that I've not eaten anything and get very irritable. And this is with a ton of important shit going on around me.

The 4-5 times I've gone 24 hours without sustenance, I basically become a complete madman that will refuse to do anything that does not involve driving to a fast food place and stuffing my face. I surprise myself at how insanely single minded I get. 40 hours? forget it..

I don't care if I just started playing the new Mario/Metroid/WoW/Minecraft/Pokemon mega mash-up game that just released and is the greatest game ever made ever in the history of the world of all time, I ain't going fucking 40 hours without food. Seriously, wtf is up with people who forget to eat.

The lifestyle over in Asia is very different from any western society, in that video gaming is not only a way of life but also a way of death. There's a reason why there are laws in China that limit the time you spend on games and internet.
