Never been shot and didn't kill any civilians for fun...

I don't know i this was just some mistake from literal translation to English; but does this imply you killed them for not fun reasons?

I was also interested in this. After reading OPs tile and reading AMA I did a research and find out few interesting (scary) things for both men and women (OP is not replying to this question and maybe I'll save someones time)

http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/HPV

Virtually all cervical cancers are caused by HPV infections

HPV types 16 and 18 have also been found to cause close to half of vaginal, vulvar, and penile cancers

So, OP had HPV 16 or 18 type infection. Which can develops from any HPV infection (it depends on your immune system, lifestyle (smoker or not), etc) See bellow

HPV can cause normal cells on infected skin to turn abnormal. Most of the time, you cannot see or feel these cell changes. In most cases, the body fights off HPV naturally and the infected cells then go back to normal. But in cases when the body does not fight off HPV, HPV can cause visible changes in the form of genital warts or cancer. Warts can appear within weeks or months after getting HPV. Cancer often takes years to develop after getting HPV.

In addition to persistent infection with high-risk HPV types, epidemiological and molecular data suggest that co-factors such as the cigarette smoke carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) enhance development of certain HPV-induced cancers

Also, another interesting facts

Abstinence is the only sure way to prevent HPV transmission. Risk of transmission can be lowered if a person has sex only with one person who is not infected and who is also monogamous.

To lower the risk of HPV transmission, men can also limit the number of sex partners and pick partners who have had few or no partners in the past.

Condoms can provide some protection against HPV transmission. Unfortunately, they aren't 100% effective, since HPV is transmitted primarily by skin-to-skin contact. The virus can still infect the skin uncovered by the condom.

From wiki

Non-sexual hand contact seems to have little or no role in HPV transmission. Winer found all 14 fingertip samples from virgin women negative at the start of her fingertip study.[43] In a separate report on genital HPV infection, 1% of virgin women (1 of 76) with no sexual contact tested positive for HPV, while 10% of virgin women reporting non-penetrative sexual contact were positive (7 of 72).[44]

In conclusion. Everyone can get HPV (albeit less risk with condoms) which can develop into cancer in your immune system is fucked. OP was extremely unlucky :(

In CCN article about your book you said the following

Stories about this degeneration are rampant: In 2005, Seungseob Lee, a South Korean man, went into cardiac arrest after playing "StarCraft" for nearly 50 continuous hours

I really can't see how is this rampant?? Cardiac arrest can happen to almost any excessive activity. Few isolated cases where people are going through days literally without sleep doesn't make it a "rampant".

I mean, in your opinion how overuse of video games is different from overuse of anything, really??
