Slashdot Mirror
Profile of a Hard-Core Gamer
brettlbecker writes "The NYTimes is running a story on Richard L. Stenlund, or, as players of MMORPG Anarchy Online undoubtedly know him, Thedeacon. Quote from the article: "Thedeacon is a celebrity. Mr. Stenlund, meanwhile, feels trapped - trapped in a town too far from big cities where big things happen, trapped in a hand-to-mouth existence, trapped in a mean little culture of cheap thrills and fast-food television." Infamy, perversion, bankruptcy, virtual protests, online counseling. How much do *you* accomplish in 7 hours a day?"
Isn't this a dupe? It's an interesting article, but I'm just asking. Because I think Slashdot editors ran an article just like this a while back.
We're only gonna die from our own arrogance, that's why we might as well take our time...
Once he found out that my best friends were not only an in-game couple, but an actual married couple, he harassed them for about a week about getting together in real life for a foursome with him and his wife.
I really wouldn't call him a celebrity, virtually everyone that I knew in AO hated the guy.
The World's Worst Webcomic!
Whaa, whaa, whaa. This loser is so typical of the so many MMO Gamers when he talks about how, âoe⦠in A. O. you can really let your true character out. If I want to be a pervert, I am able to do that in A. O. and be a pervert right off the bat." Thatâ(TM)s total BS. The only reason he can be that way online is because there are no consequences. Heâ(TM)s safe and sound, sitting at his keyboard pretending to be something he doesnâ(TM)t have the gonads for in real life.

I'm still waiting for more flames. I'll spam you motherbitches until I'm suspended here. did I hurt da widdle nerd baby's feewings? Need to get your fat waddling asses back on these boards so you can get schooled once more. Step right up, come on come all. I'm looking forward to tearing down some pussy ass slashdot nerds. you got something more to say? for this one day I'll be a slashdotter and put up with this horribly dull and ugly ass websites for the sole purpose of making some bitchass linux geek wet his two-sizes-too-small corduroy pants. you want to talk smack about Deacon? Deacon will smack you punk biatches down. Now what's up? you had alot to say before I came on the scene but now you're quiet?
Oh yeah, I could be like all the "hip" kids and speculate about everyone on such happening news sites such as "slashdot". you guys are the very definition of 'geek', 'social outcast' or 'nerd'. Who the fuck are you to try and flame someone?
I hadn't heard of this site before someone sent me a link today and now I see why.
Let me break it down for you.
Use your head, man. this is the New York Times. Ever hear of Jayson Blair? The times has become about as reliable as the Weekly World News. Three years from now we'll all be saying "Say, i heard Satan just gave birth to twin batboys! It must be true, cuz I read it in the Times!"
The article was a sham. My mother never said that and 99% of the article was a fabrication made up by Seth Schiesel, AKA "Amis" (his ingame name). He had a beef with me over an article of his from October 2002, so this was his way of exacting revenge. And here, you naive twits buy into it.
And you know the funniest part? You try to pick at me with some weak ass flames when you guys.........fucking play with linux all night long. And then frequent a Linux devoted website and.....talk about Linux some more before tweaking your Linux rigs. Um, hypocrite anyone?
Geek of a different color is a geek nonetheless.
but here I'm a business owner (oh and if you believe the 'hand to mouth' poorman bull, please observe the 700 dollar leather chair and the 400 dollar monitor in the picture and please feel free to come by my place and I'll show you exactly how much cash I make. Care to play big bank versus little bank?
Right now, cash is tight because we're moving to Las Vegas and must furnish a new home (upwards of 5-6000 dollars).
And why are we moving to Las Vegas? Well for one, I have a history in acting and stand up comedy and the only opportunity in that regard in Madison is a single dingy little club.
And for two? I'm a fast paced person. I like the big lights, the big city, always open, always someplace to go atmosphere in Vegas.
So use your fucking head next time and don't believe everything you read on the Times, dumbass.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled debate about Microsoft or whatever you dorks argue about here. You don't roll in my circles, little bitch.
