In sum, a confluence of factors were clearly militating against Rodger's sexual success, and this, combined with his excessive (but fragile) self-worth, it seems fair to classify him as an incel in the [[Incel#Definition|broad sense of the term]]. | In sum, a confluence of factors were clearly militating against Rodger's sexual success, and this, combined with his excessive (but fragile) self-worth, it seems fair to classify him as an incel in the [[Incel#Definition|broad sense of the term]]. | ||

He apparently enjoyed "[[Hobby|swimming, hiking, reading, writing, going to the library and playing video games]]." His favorite video game was World of Warcraft; Elliot stated in his manifesto that at one time: "World of Warcraft was the only thing I had left to live for." Rodger also enjoyed playing other videos games series such as Halo and Call of Duty.

He seems to have become more and more desperate in terms of the [[cope|coping mechanisms]] he employed prior to the massacre, attempting '[[Fapstinence|no fap]]' prior to the attack. It appears his final cope was the idea that becoming [[Moneymaxxing|wealthy would make him more attractive]] to women, as he attempted to use the "law of attraction" to win the lottery, spending thousands of dollars on lottery tickets. When he failed to win the $100 million dollar jackpot in the Californian Mega millions lottery, his decision to carry out the massacre was sealed, writing: "Without the prospect of becoming wealthy at a young age, I had nothing to live for now. [...] I was going to be a virgin outcast forever. I realized that I had to start planning and preparing for the Day of Retribution, even though I hadn't yet had any idea of what day that would be." | He seems to have become more and more desperate in terms of the [[cope|coping mechanisms]] he employed prior to the massacre, attempting '[[Fapstinence|no fap]]' prior to the attack.
