Sky News is carrying the story of a UK teen, Aidan Jackson, who had a seizure while playing a game online. His multiplayer buddy, 20-year-old Dia Lathora, was some 5000 miles away in Texas and recognized the signs of a seizure. Jackson had just said he was feeling strange and went to lay down on his bed for a moment, first turning his microphone so that he could keep communicating. Lathora called the police in Jackson's native Cheshire and in a quick, tense call informed them of the situation. Jackson's parents sat downstairs none the wiser—until two police officers and an ambulance showed up.
On a personal note, I'd just like to congratulate Ian on his pretty nice setup. I'm a fan of the MasterBox Lite he's using. The desk is clean, too, and the RGB is tasteful. He also has a pop filter on his microphone, unlike most of you barbarians.
Here's the full Sky News report, including testimony from Jackson's mother:
After being honored at The Game Awards for helping laid-off devs, Amir Satvat says he's received 'countless' hateful messages: 'This can happen to you too when you sacrifice over 2,000 hours of your time to help the industry'
In what will surely come as no surprise at all, the end of Suicide Squad means layoffs at Warner Bros.
