RE[7]: Hardcore Gamer?

It's true! It's been proven that porn is more addictive than gaming because sex is a natural part of humanity.

The hardware is generally less expensive, too. At least the entry level stuff. And even mid-level, really. You can buy a couple of slings, a rack, and a couple of pair of (admittedly not top quality) hand-cuffs for the price of an entry-level gamer system these days. Not that I pay close attention, anymore. I just have friends...

But I believe that the original terminology was "hardcore gamer". We're probably skewing things by introducing the concept of addiction, don't you think?

Hardcore porn is generally only for the addicted anyway, I say. But this is indeed getting way off topic.
