This guy is worse than some people playing AH +100 hr a month.

  What could compel a person to do this at all

[ozrocker]

I'm wondering when and if he finishes, what he will do after?
Good way to get away from a nagging wife, i guess

Yeah terrible because he found something he enjoys.

[GNucks]

How dare he do something unproductive that doesn't hurt anybody in the privacy of his own home in his spare time.

This guy is awesome!   I would totally do this (probably not for 15 years, but more power to him).

Do you think he uses black jacks as dynamite?

After this, he's going to build a basement, one tiny piece of sheetrock at a time.

I thought this was going to be a thread about The Warriors.

I had a cool game on my PS2 based on that movie.

And that's why I don't read the news much, most of their so called "top stories" are incredibly stupid. I see nothing wrong with the guy digging his basement. Maybe that reported will write an article about me because I played aces high for 7 years...


Think about it, there are plently of people out there that will laugh at us for spending so much time playing a video game, and then discussing it on the forum  .

I would hardly call Jalopnik a news site, I had never heard of it before this link anyway.  Also, I don't think the article's author is trying to make fun of this man, and I don't think that's how most people take it, either.  You have to admit that his hobby is a little outside of the norms, a little unusual, so it's interesting to us; that doesn't mean we think this guy is any more crazy than the rest of us.

You have a point.
