Or maybe their kids got out of Harvard with PhDs already and the parents in question are retired millionaires.

When you come across that demographic feel free to let me know. As for the deadbeat parents I described, I can vouch for at least half a dozen I've encountered over the years. MMOs are like a honeypot to a certain subset of society.

Again (and I know it's odd for me to try and re-rail a thread) but I didn't see anywhere either of them said they had any kids. So why are we even criticizing them on that?

Granted I know some people are horrible parents and yes some of them play MMOs. That's not what this thread is about though. Unless you can point me to a post or something that says either of these two have kids. I'd think there would be significantly more attention given to this couple, and not just on FFXI forums, if that were the case judging by their admission of just how much they play.

My last few comments were about the general population not the couple in the OP. They're just your average nobodies scrabbling for some media attention and hoping to make a buck along the way. Whether they lose the weight or not you can pretty much guarantee they'll be obese again a few years down the line.

Not everyone is like that you know, for all we know they wanted to get married, do not have a lot of money, and found the tryouts for the show, hopping they could win.

You might be right Kailea and I might be being overly critical. Although, the fact they both recently paid for server transfers to join an endgame linkshell doesn't exactly indicate they plan on reducing their gaming hours. If it was me and I was that serious about losing weight for my future wife (and myself) I'd be knocking the game on the head and adopting a healthier lifestyle and possibly considering studying in order to better my financial position. Not everyone is the same though.

well you have a good point too, guess it really all depends on the person as well.

Maybe they would have more money if they cut back on the food?
