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.
