A keeper? lol. Maybe if you like relationships that don't involve a whole lot of spending time together. Most WoW players I know couldn't hold a relationship together if their lives depended on it...some can't even manage a decent job. WoW? A keeper? lol.

I'll bet he regrets letting his prime toddler banging years slip by. So Patrick Stump, born 1984, didn’t date for an entire year when Kid Icarus and Legend of Zelda were out, in 1987.

That's understandable, I also think them being much more than just some stupid games without point. :D So no words about guys who only ‘plays’ racing-sims!? hmmm… maybe you dont count them as a game.

This is so rife with stereotypes that it's laughable. It isn't what 'his games say about him,' it's what this airhead's preconceptions and stigmas say about him. Very funny, though.

This lucky find is ostensibly a scan from Australian pre-teen girl magazine <a href="http://au.youth.yahoo.com/girlfriend/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Girlfriend</a>. I'm with you on the Guitar Hero/Rock Band thing. Endless thanks for your kind words! Why would this be posted here, indeed!

When I first started reading I thought, "Eh... Fall Out Boy is a horrible, horrible band, but maybe this guy has something worthwhile to say. Otherwise, why would this be posted here?" Then I read it. Hilarious. What magazine is this from? Also, living in Seattle I know many musicians who hate Rock Band/Guitar Hero because they believe that the people who enjoy these games think that they can actually play guitar. I have grown to instantaneously hate anyone that makes that assumption. Seriously. Also, the WoW treadmill thing was rad as well. Keep up the good work!
