Meet PASSIONGAMER4CHANGE. As the capslock might suggest, he's not only a man with unfettered passion, but also a man on a mission. A mission to help establish gaming as the most important medium of our time, capable of making us cry—the ultimate metric for Something As Profound Art.

 

I like to call him by his Twitter handle, RPGsbebroke, or if I'm feeling affectionate, "urrpeegee." It's a nod of respect, an acknowledgment of his being the most important figurehead in our industry who should be called the equivalent of "You-Know-Who" instead of Voldermort.

 

RPGsbebroke is my favorite ‘real hardcore gamer,' a phrase lacking so much meaning it's completely appropriate that he's not even real. RPGsbebroke is a fictional satirical personality—like the Stephen Colbert of gaming—with both a hilarious Tumblr and a Twitter account.

 

It's doubly appropriate that he's not real when you consider that he'll be the first to tell you that the real world kind of sucks and we should abandon it to go live in the perfect, pristine world of video games instead.

 

This social media works together to create a character that's reasonably fleshed out—at least, as well as a character in a triple A game might be. He's got a roommate, Derrick, who is a Call of Duty bro and parents who refuse to purchase RPG's every gaming whim and probably ask him completely unreasonable questions like "can you go outside today?" and "can you pause your game for a second?"

 

They don't get it like he does—almost nobody does. That's because RPGsbebroke is an extreme representation of the disillusioned gamer who believes gaming has lost its roots, and that game journalists don't represent the interests of the everyday gamer.

 

Enter RPGsbebroke, who holds the answers to all of these issues: opinions. Armed with thoughts on just about every controversial games issue, RPGsbebroke is here to take gaming back and help mold its glorious future as the medium with The Most Potential Ever.
