What do feet have anything to do with this? :? UNLESS you meant feat! (I kid with you)

That 85 year old is more hardcore than anyone single person on this forum. How does it feel system wars? How does it feel to have the demographic you generally slam be more hardcore than you :lol:

sanim02

Heck, about 80% of the threads here now aren't SW material, but just about anything goes now. All those threads of genre-hating, series hating, Samus vs Master Chief, advertisement threads, rumor threads, other website score threads, top five fav games thread, pre-mature "what's your GOTY" threads, you name it, they're here whether they should be or not.

What

guiness works on people purchasing the books, and other relevent media that they put out...they saw a major dip in this around the 2000 mark when people stopped caring about often ****** records that meant nothing. guiness started making up video game related records about that time to regain the days youth and they are still doing it..often giving us some of the ********* records imaginable and often getting them wrong like giving kojima a record that he didn't deserve *first stealth game* they picked out a recognizable person in the industry to get people to give them money Instead of actually doing meaningful records. lol or hell actual entertaining ones...

Whats wrong with that?

They give world records for things that no one can beat or would want to beat. A world record should only count if there's someone out there who cares to challenge it.

I'd want to challenge that, but it seems like the guy has it beat in a way that's very challenging to attempt. Fair play to him :) Like hearing stories about older gamers, breaks the misconception that it's just spotty teenagers :P

Yes he is hardcore. More than me that's fir sure I for one have never criticized or use the "casual" as some sort of sore point. I've actually defended the "casual" demography numerous times. If anything they are more of a gamer than fanboys. The thing is though there are many here I think who pose as hardcore gamers when really are just simply fanboys. SW STIlL can not fully agree on what is Hardcore or Casual in terms of games and players anyway, so what authority do they have blaming the casual demography for not getting and liking their own taste in games. Some consider CoD hardcore game in hardcore genre, then there are many here in SW who think it is casual. Any demograph of hardcore/casual gamer>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any system fanboy. It's the truth. I own up to that reality, many here can't. Fanboys are the antithesis of a gamer.

Hmmm... *does some math*

April 2009 through October 2010 = 19 months;

2850 games / 19 months = 150 games a month, = 5 perfect gamesa day.


I guess a game of Wii Sports only takes around 10 minutes, so 50 minutes a day... but only if you never mess up ONCE. If you only get a perfect game half the time (which is still fantastic), that's an hour and 40 minutes a day. One in five times, over 4 hours a day...

That's a lot of Wii Sports.
