South Korea is largely known as the most connected country on the planet. Unfortunately, will all of technology comes video game addiction, specifically to MMOs. Well, the government is making note of this and will soon introduce a 6 hour period of downtime for 19 of the country’s biggest MMOs. This will hopefully curb the ridiculous addiction some of these Koreans are facing.

Luckily, they will be able to choose which period of downtime they want be it midnight to 6 a.m., 1 to 7 a.m. or 2 to 8 a.m.

It may sound ridiculous, but what else is there left to do?

Here is an announcement that probably won’t apply to the majority of you, but for those whom it does concern Robomodo has recently announced that the controller for Tony Hawk Ride will allow for use by gamers 300 pounds and under. Anything over 300 pounds and the controller will presumably turn to dust.

Then again, just as Joystiq points out, if you are over 300 pounds playing Tony Hawk Ride is probably the least of your concerns.

Robomodo’s Tony Hawk Ride is expected to hit store shelves sometime in the fall of this year for around $120 bundled with the skateboard controller.
