When you turn 80, your great grand kids will ask you "Who are they grandpa". You probably won't remember to well.
I don't know why people think that :-P
Videogames are forever.
In 80 years they are going to be major museum exhibits right next to the mummies, dinos and mammoths.
I guess Nintendo World kinda has a jump on that.
Anyways as for hardcoreness i have a Mortal Kombat tat in that thread.
I plan on getting more tats and chances are they will be game related.
I have to agree though.
With a house full of games what more is there to prove
Of course you could always name a child after a character. (Mario doesn't count either)
