I'd definitely have to say that I've seen this sort of behavior everywhere. In addition, I think that people who do go out & buy the ridiculous rigs & then don't game on them should be forced to donate their stuff to the guys out there who are still competing (& owning) with their GF4MX's. After all, if we take Steam's hardware survey into account, that demographic of gamer makes up the majority... imagine what those guys would do with a tricked out rig...

"The first type of person I’d like to cover is the 'Gamer.' I should know about this type, because I thought of myself as a 'gamer' in the past. I used the fact that I was a 'gamer' to justify the purchase of an expensive video card, an expensive CPU and RAM, an expensive LCD, and later an even more expensive gaming laptop."
