This just made me sad. You heartless internet.

Then again, I was already messed up by accidentally looking into the Overwatch fan art thing.

EDIT: Also, noticed our kittykatt is limping his other back leg

I'm compromised this mornin'!

 

[andythinkpad]

My favorite is the remote. Hey time to watch the Mets.

 

[kingwingin]

Dude... He could have a thyroid condition and/or some other shit going on.

you dont get that big with hypothyroidism.

 

[Monster Zero]

So he can afford $60 games but not lotion

 

[Mexen]

I always walk around with a controller just in case I bump into someone like him. From now on, I will pack sandwiches too.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Get this man a Vita!

He's trying to kill some time, not get arrested

 

[nikos]

As a New Yorker, I'd say he's homeless. I'd love to know what's powering all that stuff though.

 

[JJD]

Don't be a jerk. You don't know how much he paid for the game, or if it was gifted to him.

 

[Z..]

I'm not sure which is sadder, the guy's situation or this thread...

 

[jts]

Mental issues. I hope he gets the help he needs.

 

[Calm Mind]

He's just like you and me except he's homeless...

 

[Eiji]

Get this man a PSTV!

Fixed!

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

I hope he gets help to deal with his health

Hes fine just a big guy, im sure there are plenty of guys his size on GAF if we are talking weight. If we are talking mental stability we have no idea what his mindset is.

 

[Nostremitus]

There's usually outlets in the wall or arm rest.

Unless you're on an American Airlines flight overseas... Then you get jack and shit.

 

[trixx]

Yeah.. I don't know if this is trolling. Could be homeless and plying video games helps him cope with it. Then again I'm assuming a lot.

Not saying one has to have fun while playing games but at least somewhat amused? He looks sad

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

,'Caner we all pitch and buy him a xbox one slime?

That could just be how his face looks when at rest...

 

[TLZ]

That's a pretty shitty angle to be playing at.

Like he gives a f.

 

[Z..]

Never encountered such a thing in my entire experience of flying, which until quite recently averaged about 1 flight per month. Always international flights though, if that matters...

 

[GeNoMe]

Picture makes me a bit sad, really curious what his story is. I guess that's just gonna be a matter of time.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

He should go all in and get this.

what is this?

 

[brokenbeans]

He seems happy enough.

 

[iBlue]

I hope he is alright he doesn't seem happy

 

[Drillary Clinton]

A writer for kotaku responded to the original tweet this is from. Hopefully we can find out the story behind this guy and maybe get a gofundme to help him out if he actually is homeless or something

 

[robotrock]

I legitimately laughed pretty hard at this post. I don't know what it is but I am a sucker for a good Vita joke.

 

[johnnydrama]

I want to know more about what's going on with this dude before making an insensitive post.

 

[Pachael]

Reminds me of the guy who plays Wii U on plane rides.

When the NX was narrowed down to a 'handheld', I imagined it as that with a packin battery...

 

[Permanently A]

hope this guy is alright in terms of housing... can't imagine that someone would willingly play games on the train

 

[Ratrat]

Reminds me of the guy who plays Wii U on plane rides.

Thats clearly a bullet train.

 

[OnionPowder]

you dont get that big with hypothyroidism.

You'll get a little big, but from my experience with thyroid issues is that it just plays into your already existing bad eating habits.

Thats clearly a bullet train.

clearly

Spoiler

I've never even been on a train

 

[exmachina64]

Reminds me of the guy who plays Wii U on plane rides.

What airline would I need to fly with to get a meal like that?

 

[enemy2k]

Haha my man. When you gotta get that last achievement bruhh!

 

[MGrant]

What airline would I need to fly with to get a meal like that?

Japanese domestic flights have food like this. They get it.

 

[ehead]

Rocco (Mega64) did it before. Didn't work out so well. He almost got reported.

 

[PREC0GNITIVE]

hopefully he's playing downloaded games and not off of disc

Once saw a guy at a gears LAN turn his 360 from vertical to horizontal while running Gears of War after someone said "it could be knocked standing up it would be safer flat". And before another breath could be drawn the deed was done...

That noise still haunts me...

I like this stage where all we have is a photo and gif and people are filling in the missing parts of the story in their heads.

We have speculation that he's homeless, mentally ill, physically ill, in need of a GoFundMe page, or all of the above. Or maybe it could all just be a sociological experiment to see if this goes viral and how people respond? We don't know, all we have is a pic and a gif. Speaking of which, did anyone taking those try to talk to him at all? I tend to be shy around strangers but I think if I saw someone like that I'd at least ask a question or two instead of just snapping a pic like he's a modern art installation.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Thats clearly a bullet train.

It's gotten to the point where they're getting indistinguishable if not for the foot space, which is not evident in that picture.

 

[xk0sm0sx]

Thought it would be a really cool portable xbox contraption, did not expect to see a TV placed on the floor

 

[wildfire]

A homeless person isn't going to have an easy time A) getting a set up like that charged and B) not stolen or broken even at a shelter forget about the streets.

That said this guy has a shitty life and that Xbox is one of the few things he has going for him. If he has a regular commute I hope a fellow New Yorker just busts out a controller and a multiplayer game to play with him. Dude needs some positive human contact.

It's the NYC subway

It's the NYC subway.

*shakes fist in frustration*

how hasn't he been robbed?

City is safer these days and the MTA is far better connected in contacting transit police than other cities. Besides there are just too many people to be witnesses and his stuff requires 3 people to take all of his gear. I guess you could snatch an Xbox by itself.

dude's trying to play video games, not carry around a paper weight!

Woooo

 

[sono]

So he must carry a power inverter as well. (I dont think the xbox would work too good plugged into the subway 3 phase supply)

 

[Grakl]

what if he has to go to the bathroom

It's the NYC subway

 

[Calabi]

It doesnt look like he's doing it for attention or a social experiment or anything. Maybe its the safest place to play.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

That dude is homeless, and quite possibly has mental health issues too.

Does the E train run 24/7?

He probably is recently homeless and is homeless in the sense that he has no home of his own, not that he probably doesn't have a bed/couch to crash on at night.

He probably uses the E train to pass the time in the day until he can go back to wherever he crashes in the evenings.

 

[Taruranto]

What is he playing?

On that's screen? Should be Silent Hill 3, I recognize Heather green miniskirt.

 

[Mors_Verigo]

"Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!"

 

[Eggbok]

"Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!"

smh lol

 

[darkwing-buck]

reminds me of the guy who brought his ps3 to an arbys to play demon souls

 

[Dusk Golem]

I was going to say, I heard he was playing Silent Hill from somewhere else as well reporting on him, but the original. In that picture it looks like he's playing Silent Hill 3.

 

[Trojita]

If he is in need of help, I hope he gets help.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Now this is a true hero. Sometimes you just need a bit of company and some greasy sandwiches to get through the Tower of Latria.
