LOL! :laughing:

Here is an interesting quote from the article:

"Now they will have to call me Reverend"

I guess there\'s something ReverendXbox hasn\'t told us... ;)

That\'s pretty pitiful, but I have a difficult time believing that it is real. I guess we\'ll never find out, unless someone finds another story about it later.

I don\'t believe it either really. I have a hard time believing some guy is going to waste all that money and give up his girlfriend to build a PS2 shrine. He would need a good paying job also. Soooo.... PR stunt probably.

Well, it wasn\'t really from the best source either... The Sun *cough* tabloid *cough*

And why would someone change his name to something that stupid? Why not just \'John PS2 Madden\' or whatever his real name was. :D

MADCAP Carl Lindlay is so hooked on computer games that he has changed his name to The Rev PlayStation 2.

Now he is building a 15ft-high TEMPLE in his garden to worship the top-selling Sony games console.

Carl, 23 — who plays for up to ten hours a day — altered his name by deed poll after furious girlfriend Anna dumped him over his hi-tech games obsession.

The final straw came when he applied to Manchester City Council for permission to build the mini-church — complete with an altar to house PlayStation games.

Carl, whose favourite game is the science-fiction racer WipeOut, said: “Anna said I worshipped my PlayStation like a god, so I thought, ‘Why not?’ I’m with it more than I’m with her’.

“I’m deadly serious about the temple. Why shouldn’t I worship PlayStation? It’s my life. My games are everything to me.

“I doubt I’ll get back with Anna. I won’t give up my PlayStation for anyone.”

Jobless sound engineer Carl, of Levenshulme, added: “My friends already call me R2-D2 after the robot in Star Wars.

“Now they will have to call me Reverend — but I’ll answer to Play for short.”

Sony UK spokesman David Wilson said: "I’m not surprised by this — there’s no limit to PlayStation fans’ enthusiasm."

:mad: damn they not only got my name wrong , but where i live :mad:

only kidding i am not that bad YET !

p.s.
i am now in trouble with Miss Moneypenny for clicking on the PAGE 3 link :laughing:.

Thanks Ooseven, for posting that text, as I had only \'proxy server error\' page as I tried to follow that link to the funny site promised.

As I now read the text, I gotta say that this guy is pitiful and crazy. What\'s the point? And why let a girlfriend go away just to play?

I mean, you can\'t communicate with a machine. This man has no social-life, and I pity that.

But that\'s his life like he said, so I\'ll leave it to him.

Plays 10 hours a day?!?! I understand that kind of playing if you\'re..
  • Very sick and have nothing else to do
  • back from the shop, carrying brand new FFIX


and of course I understand a random 10-hour-straight play; we\'ve all experienced that right? :) But approx. 10 hours every day is just plain sickness.
