why?

running 36 characters at a time and running raids with them....By Your Self...

What a waste of money.

wow

Agreed NES GUY--that's a serious waste--it's not even cool in the geek way.

"It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year"

"Prepared can't wait to get his hands on the upcoming Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King."
"I plan to be at the store when it opens and will purchase 36 copies of it. With tax, it should be about $1500 for all of them."

so far we're at $7211.00, not including the 6 laptops, 5 desktops, and slew of lcds, mice and keyboards...

he'll be a 40 year old virgin with the worst case of carpal tunnel and blue balls ever seen by any doctors

I don't like to throw around the term lightly...but what a loser.

^^^ something like that.

Ha exactly what I was thinking... Ah... "Make love not Warcraft" my favorite South Park episode of all time! And here I thought the nut bags who play 10 hands of online poker at once were bad...

I used to play Final Fantasy online religiously and there was a guy on my server who had like 8 characters and he'd party with himself... i thought that guy was a douche... this guy blows him out of the water >.>

I used to have a poker setup like this, but only 8 screens, 4 tables per screen.

I prefer the Cheezing episode.  The unexpected and very detailed throwback to Heavy Metal was awesome.

This pic reminds me of my setup except instead of lots of monitors I just use one REALLY big one with 3 or 4 computers around my desk, all of them doing different stuff

Wow... Sad.

Man that kid needs to get laid.

you found my secret ... i'm a die hard WoW fan ...

that's not a die hard fan, that's a completely obsessed freakazoid

I don't know... people outside our hobby could look at my bedroom and think I'm the biggest geek in the universe.

BIG difference between collecting tangible objects that can be later sold for profit and running a zillion simultaneous accounts since you don't even have online friends to play with.

I was thinking the same thing, Will... just as we drool over other people's collection pics here, I'm sure there are a ton of guys out there somewhere going completely gaga over that pic too...

maybe for the having 6 laptops, but I can't imagine it being any more than that

I never even got the appeal of wow. Ive had people pay for my account just so I would play, but I still couldnt get into it, and never got past level 23. Computer gaming is one of my favorite systems, and Blizzard si my all time favorite computer gaming company.. but wow just never did it for me. The only thing that will grab you is the MMO thing that will attatch you to people, but theres a ton of games, and free games you can do that with. The game is just boring to me.. your not closely tied into the storey, so nothing really gives me the hunger to grind, or do pointless quests. I ask myself.. why would I do that quest? why would I grind? I dont advance the storey.. it just gets me to a higher level, where my goal is the same. All the bosses keep coming back so why bother with them. A super rare item? Why do I care about a super rare item I can just buy from anyone? Maybe im missing out on something, but this game just never grabbed me. Id still rather play diablo 2.

^^^ you hit the nail on the head. all/most MMO's are poo.
