I would be afraid that anything I put on the screen would offend Chinese officials and that I might disappear.

I'd so play TGM on that.

100,000 yuan...Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Man, Chinese people love MMOs so damn much, that's like all they play there, that and King of Fighters 97 and 98.

I've been to The Place before, damn is that screen pretty...but 15k for 10 minutes? Fuck that. This is how we know there are crazy people out there...there is passion, and then there is this bullshit.

Considering the average salary in China is about 13,500 yuan or a little over $2000 per year, I've come to the conclusion this man is bat shit insane. What a world, what a world! I think I'm melting.
Oh, it's terrible! WHAT!? No... just no.


FACT: The Battlechodes won Forum Battle 2012.

Yea, when I read this story, I thought it was pretty fucking ridiculous myself. But who am I to tell someone how to spend their money.

Sounds more like he did it to call attention to gaming, not so much as a guy who has no idea how to spend his money. But then the article is kind of rambling and repeats itself so who knows.

Ha, that is pretty wild. I would imagine he had the cash to spare.

That's just crazy.

To be fair, though, if I were rich, I'd probably have a Smash Bros. Tournament on something like that.
