    There's that dream out there of getting paid to simply play games. You know you have it. We even have it. Well, a married Japanese man who goes by "Moru-chan" grabbed that dream and looted it to its fullest, as he earned over $10,000 (one million yen) in three months for playing the MMORPG ArcheAge. The money's on the up-and-up, in case you were thinking otherwise. Moru-chan was selected by ArcheAge's project management team to live in a one-room apartment and stream the game for 12 hours a day. He'd wake up at noon and start playing in the afternoon until the wee hours of the morning, streaming ArcheAge for all to see. Moru-chan also blogged about his experience and organized large-scale activities using his newfound fame. [Thanks to Dengar for the tip!]
