I found the article rather sad and pointless. When I first read it I couldn't help but wonder if he knew someone from Wired and put them up to it. The article read pretty much the same way people are describing him and how he comments on KLOV. It starts out fixated on name brands, money etc....describing his brand jeans, shoes etc. It just cried out loneliness to me. I mean, maybe the girl left because she discovered he was shallow and materialistic. It would be different if he was 18 but this guy is nearly 40. It definitely wasn't a flattering article. It came across as...sad.

I understand your thoughts here but keep in mind that he originally went in to the forums ASKING people their opinion. Some people told him what he wanted to hear and some did not...then from what I read and understand he became a boastful douche about it. I don't think anyone really cared what he paid for his games but the guy likes to tell you what his things cost or how much he paid.....kind of like the intro to this shallow article in Wired.

I couldn't agree more. People need to keep in mind too that a lot of professions pay a lot more in New York so the increase in cost of things can even out. But, like other people have said, if you're willing to fork over $500 for dinner you can do this in pretty much any city....shit, you can drop that at Disney World in Orlando. The thing that's sad now isn't just the article...its the fact that he doesn't seem to have learned anything...
