Yeah terrible because he found something he enjoys.

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!  :aok 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.

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  :O.

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.

I really don't get why you feel the need to insult people all the time.  Are you bullied at school?

Looking at where he lives and knowing it's in Canada, I think it's safe to assume interference isn't any issue either.
