We all know that World of Warcraft players are zealous to the point of terrifying, but Minnesota Vikings kicksmith Chris Kluwe is prepared to take the ultimate step -- and possibly one day become Chris Warcraft.
The NFL player is a big time World of Warcraft nut, and last week was chatting about his gaming habits.
"I think more people like to hear me talk about playing video games than football," claims Kluwe. "I've played videogames since I was 4 years old. I play them a lot more than I kick a football. I kick the ball about 45 minutes a day. I play video games about five or six hours a day. But that's OK. I don't watch TV...
"Back when [Bengals receiver] Chad Johnson changed his name to Ocho Cinco, I told the guys at [radio station] 93X that I was going to change my name to Chris 'World of Warcraft.' They said that's too long. So they started calling me Chris 'Warcraft.' I could make a lot of money if I changed my name to that."
That does it. From now on, my name is officially changing to Jim Bubble Bobble.

hahaha i love it
I'm sure he'd counter any Ventrillo harassment by saying how much more money he makes than us ;_;
Are you sure? We had a guy in our guild that claimed to play basketball at UCLA, but it turned out he was just a liar.
CUT! There are no Vikings in World of Warcraft!!!
I am now Evan Starcraft
Also. "I could make a lot of money if I changed my name to that," just how the fuck does he expect to do that? Is Blizzard going to pay him a bunch of money to change his name to that? Get a clue man.
One more thing. You're a fucking punter. Know your role as a toliet seat warmer for the defensive linemen and just stfu.
Pffft *laughs*
Can I just be Sephiroth Halo? Or Halo Sephiroth? Or...
First Name : Master
Middle Name : Sephiroth
Last Name : Chief
Might as well think about first and middle names... the last names are gonna be taken fast.
-- Very clever. a nice LOL moment was had by all. Thanks.

"Johan Enemy Territory" then :-)
Kinda girly, but it works.
Chris G. Fandango? Awesome.
Also my name will be Bahamut Golbez A Link to the Jones.
Pretty positive about it. Or my guild's full of gullible people~
Also, LOL @ mgstcody!
Sequels add a bit of legitimacy, what with all the IIs and IIIs. In light of that, the best last name would probably be Donkey Kong, Jr.
