Dead Rising- Obseesion much?

[Zmedy]

I'm pretty sure that anyone in the top 100-1000 in the world rankings is obsessed with the game.
Especially those who play infinity and survive for over , what, 17 days needs to get a life.
Mostly because they can't leave the television unless you pause. I've tried doing this before (for the achievements) but ended up losing my short attention span and forgot about the game when I went and got something to eat, I apparently lasted 12 hours of in-game time. Blah.
Oh, and I'm not beating on the guys at the top of the list, just saying its a little obsessive.

I want your opinion.

Unnecessary pic was unnecessary.

I haven't played Dead Rising, but, in order to be on leaderboards for pretty much any commercial game you have to be a VERY devoted player of that game.

Well, I guess your right.
And off topic, if you don't mind me asking, how was the picture unnecessary?

Go you, which leader board though?

If you think making it to the top of the Dead Rising leader boards is hard, you're wrong. It's actually really easy.

Dead Rising, similar to Guitar Hero, can be played down to an exact science. In other words, anyone can easily program a machine to input the proper button presses to correctly win the game, and it is very likely that those "leaders" did just that. Even if they did play the game legitimately, I still wouldn't have called the process "difficult". There are tons of things harder than rote memorization.
