INTEREST: Japanese Video Rental Store Owner Has Truly Insane Gaming Setup

Non-gamer checking in here, so forgive my ignorance, but...

...what is the advantage of have multiple accounts in the same game and the ability to play them at the same time? Is that so he can have his own party where he controls all the characters?

That setup is nuts. Although I'm a collector of things too I wouldn't dare try to rival that. And I bet he puts in some quality time making sure that the place doesn't get too dusty.

OK, who here is going to write the light novel for this and what long title are you giving it?

It's not usually possible to play multiple characters literally at the same time in things like battle, so instead you do things with each character that have cooldowns (like, chop down this tree that usually takes 30 seconds, then you can get 10 characters doing it at once but only actually input a command for each one every 3 seconds).

Although I could see someone maybe being good enough to play 2 characters at the same time in a party perhaps... but for 3 or more you'd have to be pro gamer level.

This is probably dumb, but my favorite part is that he has two GameCubes. One regular and one with the gamboy attachment, I'm assuming so he could play both at once. Baller.
