fdurso224 #1 Posted May 9, 2008 Hi guys: Got a question to ask. Are there any famous individuals out there in the world play video games frequently like us? I heard Edge & Kane (from WWE) have an Xbox 360, & play frequently on live with Call of Duty 4 & Halo 3. Anthony.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redglass77 #2 Posted May 9, 2008 Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails has said in various interviews that he's pretty hardcore when it comes to gaming, the last interview I read he talked about having a collection of arcade games in his basement of his Louisiana mansion/studio, he confessed to going out and spending up to 400$ every time he needed a gaming fix, he was trying to collect every home system he could and went into grave detail of the damage many of his controllers have suffered. Also I guess he's credited with doing the music for the game Quake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A.J. Franzman #11 Posted May 11, 2008 Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails has said in various interviews that he's pretty hardcore when it comes to gaming, the last interview I read he talked about having a collection of arcade games in his basement of his Louisiana mansion/studio, he confessed to going out and spending up to 400$ every time he needed a gaming fix, he was trying to collect every home system he could and went into grave detail of the damage many of his controllers have suffered. Also I guess he's credited with doing the music for the game Quake. ... which provides reason for a familiar logo appearing on certain crates of ammo in the game.
