Jun 3 2008All For The Love Of The Game: Inside The Basement Lair Of One Of The World's Most Hardcore (And Likely Neglected) Gamers
And I thought the shed I grew up in had poor living conditions. This just goes to show that you should never take anything for granted. This poor bastard is clearly locked in a basement, lives entirely on canned Coke and pot pies, pees in empty one-gallon water jugs, shits in an oversized litter box, thinks he looked handsome in his senior yearbook photo, has parents that steal power (along with gas, water, and whatever the hell else is coming in that wall) from the neighbors, only has a Gamecube, performs emergency medical procedures on himself with nothing but a pair of needle-nose pliers, sleeps with no covers on a towel bed, and really thinks rape sux. Holy shit.
Hardcore Gamer Defined? [albotas]

That's fucking awsome

Pretty sure that photo isn't him, but rather of Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo...

Wow, Geekologie Writer needs to brush up on the basics of the things he bashes... : P

this is an old machination of a couple of jokesters who posted under the name "Gahiggidy" on the NeoGAF forum. please pay no more mind to this idiocy.

Replace the photo on the wall with a torn poster of Gillian Anderson and lay down some moldy, threadbare carpet and you've got the spitting image of my first apartment.

Dude, i think the wall reads: SouljaBoy Sux
8. kevin - June 3, 2008 7:02 PM
The wall actually says "RARE SUX." Rare is a game company.
9. Snoodle - June 3, 2008 7:43 PM
Yes, I agree I think it says 'Rare Sux". I disagree, as they gave us Banjo Kazooie.

What are you complaining about - he has carpet.

Umm... that's concrete.

Oh, dude, i just can't imagine an xbox 360 on there, it would die in like 2 minutes.

If thats all the guy does and thats where he spends all of his time, then thats pathetic.

Geekologie writers... Come on... lame

Who is the plagiarist?

looks like the place where I got knee surgery for the cheaps in Mexico. Compared to that place, this den is very well lit and very much rat-free (from what i can see). It's nice to see people make social comments on their own walls, I wonder if he and the split personality, that he probably developed out of loneliness, argue about the graffiti. I know my other me and I argue all the time, isn't that right dude? "shut up, no one will ever love you"

Looks like Gadgets is....they're dated yesterday and stamped @ 9:30pm, whereas this is dated yesterday and the earliest comment is at 5:05pm. Geekologie writer better lay the plagairism smackdown!

It may supposed to be Rare sucks but I have a hard time seeing that third letter as anything but a p.

Ladies and gents - we have found Bin Ladin's hiding spot.
23. Momboelitist - June 4, 2008 1:07 PM
I think the term we are looking for is:
FAKE!!!!
24. Mia - June 4, 2008 5:05 PM
Holy shit this is horrible. The only console he has is a GameCube! :-(((
25. Shannon - June 4, 2008 9:43 PM
I think the writing on the wall says Rare Sux. That would make sense, because Rare was a developer for Nintendo.
26. Jj - June 4, 2008 10:21 PM
Sideath's right:

I could tell you right away that it wasn't the Geekologie writer who copied someone else's post. I've been reading on here for about a year or more now and I recognize his writing style.
I'm sure the guy this room belongs to, if it's all real, chooses this life for himself and it's sad.

Hardcore gamer on that crappy TV? I think not.
