This is The Hardcore

This person plays video games like nobody’s business.  He is so hardcore, that it’s actually unattractive to me, which is hard to fathom since I’m a gamer-nerd-extraordinaire.

He’s got 11 computers running 36 instances of the video game World of Warcraft.  He spends nearly $6,000 dollars a year for subscription fees to play the game.

But, before you say anything like “that’s insane” or “what a loser” or “how could anyone do that” or “what a waste of money”… just think for a second: How much do you spend a year on your hobbies? Honestly.  Do a quick gutcheck.

But, it’s still pretty insane.

    Incredible! I don't know if I'm more amazed by all the monitors or that he's running all of those instances on Dell laptops and was able to take a picture without having one freeze up and show a blue screen of death!

    On a seperate note – I figure he probably spends $500 a month in fees. That's not to bad – I figure my wife and I spend probably close to that for cable, eating out, dating and our hobbies.

    I wonder what it would be like to have that many Bibles?

    I once paid $1,000 for a pool stick . . . .

    Snowboarding sets me back a pretty penny every winter so I cannot judge.

    My only question for him is how much he pays for air conditioning? It has to be hot in there. :)

    Wow, I had not thought about the noise. I bet if the power goes out he must go crazy. There would be no background noise for a while.

    Wow, that is a pretty neat setup! I remember when I was addicted to Ultima Online….not a good place to be!

    I spend a lot of money on PENS….I love pens….well artist supplies in general….but PENS in particular.

    My most recent purchase was about $250 on a set of illustration markers. – definately worth it though!
