Holy shit dude, but you know what that is true. That deep-vein-thrombosis (DVT) is real and it does happen to people who do not exercise and just sit down for hours and hours.

I actually have symptoms of DVT according to my DR at the VA Hospital. Being a smoker and no exercising fucked me up big time. I am looking to find out if I have diabetes and DVT, I am just waiting on the appointment letter to get here.

Shit is real guys, don't take this as a joke!

I think he was kinda stupid to sit in one position for a long time, like he had to feel some kind of warning from the body, some pain or miscomfort. And I love how they blame Xbox for it that's so stupid, his own addiction was his fault.

WOW. That is some serious shit!
P.S. Hope those test come back clean Cheech! Don't know what we'd do without you .

Actually, you won't feel a blood clot when it happens until it moves up your leg and into your heart. You actually have to walk so you can move your leg muscles appropriately to prevent this from happening. That's why after surgery, they boot them things on your legs to squeeze them, to mimic walking to keep the blood flowing and preventing blood clots. Most people sit still for a long time during a video game because you get so into it. You'd be surprised if you knew how long you sat still!

Thats why when I am gonna sit down for a long session of gaming I drink a lata Beer so I have to get up and go to the bathroom more offten Lol

That's so nuts.. Kyle plays like 12 hours a day I think.. but he gets up at least every other game or so to go smoke half a cigarette or grab a beer..

Hahaha.... yeah as long as you get up every hour you should be fine. It's actually supposed to be like that for ANYTHING your doing. I guess that's why in college they're required to give you breaks, they can't hold you for hours without letting you out. Even though you could just leave anyhow, they don't care. I wouldn't suggest replacing it with smoking... xD haha jk.. no but really wouldn't :P. I used to smoke a pack a day -.- Sooooo glad I quit, so much less stress from them stupid sticks. Whoever said they release stress were right, until you can't have one the second you want it then your like OMFGGGGGG. Haha. Also remember as a teenager underage, you'd like smoke down to the butt lol just because you didn't wanna waste what you couldn't always but. Then you hit 18, after a while, your smoking half a cigarette and throwing it to the side then lighting up a new one like your rich or something :P.
