Paratroopa1 01/31/12 6:08:00 PM #47:	I also like how the real cost of being a gamer involves spending 30 bucks on Mario gear without buying any console that could play a Mario game (legally). If there exists anywhere a person who would wear a t-shirt with a 1up on it without actually having ever played Mario, they are the worst kind of hipster imaginable. <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:731837] in The Real C...
