gear whore

While a gear whore can be described as someone who has the best, most expensive, coolest gear, and a damn lot of it; it is more commonly used to describe an individual who simply MUST have a shitload of gear, useful or not.

Light & tight is how it should be done, guys.

The ALICE fighting load is good enough for most short-term outings. If you want something to last you upwards of 2-3 days, go for an existence load.

Originated with fly fishermen who have to have every cool,expensive piece of gear there is. Now broadly applies to anyone who has to have the all the cool, expensive gear associated with their hobby of choice.

One who is obsessed with GOW and displays the following symptoms:

Red eyes

Fear of chainsaws

Uncontrolable urge to drop the F-bomb

Has gained the "Seriously..." achievement

exp. A name given to Gears of War or Gears of War 2 by someone who is frantically enthusiastic about playing another game, so he yells "Gears of Whore!", while alone in his bedroom, thinking about gibbing his next victim with a gnasher shotgun.

1) Someone who is blind/ retarded enough to find the game "Gears of War" enjoiyable.

2) One who believes that steroid enduced, boring, two-dimensional characters and horrible story-development is good writing.

In MMORPGs, it is a person merely acts all buddy-like towards another to obtain their gear. Not to be confused by noobs who beg for gear. A typical gear whore will lure this particular person to give their gear for them to use. This requires the person, the gear whore, to create a "friendship" to ensure their plan of obtaining gear is a success. When the particular person begins to trust them and hand the gear, the gear whore will show off to other members how good they are... when the gear whore in reality... never did anything legitimately to earn gear.
