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:
'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems'
