This was a blog I made on my MySpace page, but I thought it was funny for gamers (then again I think YouTube Poops have good humor, so I don't think of my self highly). If anything seems weird - which it shouldn't - it's probably an inside joke.
So most of us are gamers. Whether we play for a bit or we play for 15 hours straight (tried once, never again...), we are gamers. But some people hate us. Why? Well I think for these five reasons. We are an awesome breed, but let's be honest, we kinda suck too, so here's the:
Top 5 Reasons For Gamer Failure
You can kill me later. Oh yeah, and this is more a joke so don't take it personal too. It's... Satirical.
5: Obesity
Now I want you to do one thing: take you finger and point at a fat kid, just any random one. Now ask them if they play video games. About 80% of them will say, "Dude! I'll pwn you at Brawl!" then we will dip his entire hand in a jar of mayonnaise and eat it! This isn't too bad for a number five, but it does look bad for other people. It's just not too good of an image for gamers: a fat kid in glasses. I mean, I know gamers who are skinny too! Like Joey!
Oh, Joey! Haha... Your kinda scary.
4: Countless Stupid Rants
Here's an example of what I mean:
Now not only does the first thing he says make me want to punch him in the face, he also has no idea what the fuck he is talking about. He says he doesn't like to die in Halo? Are you insane? That's the whole point! You know, you have to use your fucking brain to beat a game! Sorry it takes skills to play something. Now this is just one out of a million that infect the internet like a horrible case of acne. The only one that is good to watch is the Angry Video Game Nerd, but then again, he not really bagging on the games. It's satirical! I don't know about you, but this is the sort of thing you talk about with your friends not over the internet. Then again, some people think that the internet is their friend so there you go.
Some get worse then this though. Some people will curse so much you wonder how mankind made it this far. Some will drape themselves in whatever console that they are glorifying that you wonder if they are insane. But more on that later...
3: Bro Gamers
It took me forever to find a picture of one of these guys. And after the fifth dick picture I just made my own. I guess I could have made a screen dump of Chad, but I like to torment myself. But, you know what I'm talking about. People, usually men, who just play games, but play just a certain amount. The only games they play are: Halo, Madden, GTA. That's it. That's all. Maybe another FPS. It also doesn't help that most of these fags gather around the 360 like flies on shit. These guys are also responsible for all the FPS' that seem to bubble in the gaming industry. Not that I'm saying that FPS' are stupid but come on. When we get the 100th WWII game I wanna punch someone in the dick. No. A flick. Lots of flicks. The kind that Stuttering Craig talked about.
These are also the guys who say that awesome games like Super Mario Galaxy or SSBB are fag games. These guys are also responsible for the "Casual" and "Hardcore" gamer, even though it doesn't exist. I say if you like playing games and you get into it, then you're a gamer. Except these guys. Fuck them.
2: Video Game Fan Fiction and Fan Art
Oh my god. No. This is the one thing I hate the most. Well, not really. Number one and this could be at a tie for me, but this also has a benefit while the other is just stupid. I mean, at lest people are using creative methods with this. Sort of. Ugh... Look, I'll be the fist to say that art is cool. BUT! Art is also a powerful tool, maybe a little too powerful and easily accessible. All you need is a pen and paper and there you go.
Some fan art is cool:
Then it gets odd, but whatever:
And then they get worse. You know. Oh you know!
I hate you so much Deviant Art...
But you know what? I'll look at a naked girl tails all the time! It's way better than Fan Fiction of video game characters. I mean, at least I'm just looking at a part of what's going on, not the whole situation. Like look:
"Chief, Chief. Please wake up." The Master Chief's eyes adjusted to the dim light.
"Cortana? What's the problem?" He got a better look at her.
"Y-your human?"
"Yes, but when I become human all my memory's are erased when I go back to digital." Cortana said with misery in her voice.
"But what do you need me for?"
"I need you." Cortana whispered.
"What?"
"I want to spend my last weeks, days, hours, minutes even seconds with you. And maybe I'll remember you." As The Chief got up he stared at Cortana. She was beautiful. When he got up he put his hand on Cortana's shoulder. Two tears fell down her face. Cheif wiped them off and she hugged him.
That should sum it up.
But nothing beats this.
1: Fanboyism
Wow. Just wow. I hate these guys. Well, more like the kind of Fanboy that totally ignores anything but his game system and his alone. I know I'm a fan of Nintendo; hell just step in my room and you'll see what I mean. BUT! I don't go and say that the Wii is better than God and will ignore everything on its flaws and what others have to offer. I also don't go on fourms and troll the shit out of it! I also don't yell at people who think differently from me or say that I'm wrong (well, about games anyway.) These guys are the kind that say stuff like the following:
"PStriple pwns all! You guys are just 360 fags! GO FUK YOURSFLE!"
Now notice the "PStriple" usage, a sure sign of Fanboyism. Using slang name for a system is stupid and anyone who is trying to look for a game system is going to ignore that. Also note the misspelling of "fuck yourself." Obviously typing so fast that the shit can't process fast enough in the mind.
Fanboyism can go father though. Some need to show off how cool they are and their system by recording themselves talking about it:
Here, I'll grab the other systems so it doesn't look like I'm bashing the 360 community.
Wii:
It was hard to find a Wii one. Probably because Nintendo's fan base brings a boxing glove in the fight and not a nuclear war head or a sub-machine gun.
PS3:
Yeah, I know. Chad Warden is fake, but it's being used for an example. He is faking this, right? Oh, God, please tell me he's faking it...
All of these are good examples of Fanboyism at its worse. I hate this crap. More than naked girl Tails. More than fat gamers. More than Bro Gamers. I just hate it when I have to see people get rilled up over this crap. Like your system. No, LOVE it. But don't yell at others who like something else just because you hate it. Hate it in silence. And for the love of god. Shut the FUCK up.

Unfortunatly, I meet some of those dislikes.
First, I make rants :-p....
Second, who doesn't like video game girl boobies... ooo Princess Peach, I know where i'd like to stuff my mushroom... that I found in a box... that was near a shiny gold coin.
Third, I am partially fat... damn you Japanese yummy food with horrible habits of sitting in front of a computer despite the wife complaining behind me to do otherwise (this led to my current fitness club and vegetarian diet).
Fourth, I got... nothing actually. Oh yea, I like fan fiction but lemon fiction can be silly sometimes. Oh Tifa, let me bounce those melons and cover them in buckets of sloppy man jam.
Yea, enough about fan-boyism or i'll end up going into the not ok side of comments and posts. Well done on the article and I like how you spent time on it. Sorry for the buckets of sloppy man jam. Unless you wanted said buckets filled with said jam in which case you are welcome... for the buckets I never gave you.
Now dont get me wrong some stuff on deviant art is all right, the non soft porn bit, but the pictures that take something innocent like the mario series and make it into some fat 24 year olds sex fantasy is just plain wrooooong.

i'll be honest. i'll sketch a megaman villian from time to time and i'll rant. i mostly rant about fanboys but whatever. but the whole point of the blog was to point out why other people are put off by us gamers right? well i think you nailed it. also i would add a couple more. if your really into video games (like me) then you'll talk about then to the point of annoying. also we honestly take video games a little too seriousely for some people. good job man

Would just like to say awesome job. love the reasons and I was sold when I looked at the first picture... and I am still baffled on WTF that kid was thinking? come to think of it, he sorta looks like my brother, I may have to morph a pic of my bro with this kid just for fun. will tell him if he dont atleast walk around for 10 minutes a day this is what he will end up looking like.
I really liked your point. I hate fan-fiction but fan-art are cool (Except for those nude girl with tails...Sex with animal isn't for me I guess.). Fan boy annoy the crap out of me. Every time I say I like my Wii I'm people call me a fan boy while they are saying every other console suck except the one they own.

Up with fanboys? play all 3 systems then form an opinion.
Me? I own all 3 consoles, and both handhelds, of my favorites, it has to go to Sony - Why?
Potential, only time will tell if my faith was misplaced, but the console has the most potential. Blueray Technology, Bluetooth built in. I bought a 19.99 Dell Bluetooth keyboard with no Bluetooth reciever dongle, and it didnt matter, my ps3 has it built in. My xbox doesnt, neither does my wii.
Here is a little known fact about the nintendo wii. Does anyone have a usb flash memory card? Good, put it in your wii, and try to play ANYTHING other than nintendo games. Doesnt work right? you think you broke your wii? just take out the card, good. Works again right? while most view this as a glitch, i view it as a security feature, like lets say you are one of these fanboys, and want to be a prick like usual, just stick your flash card and let the little 5 and 6 year old children not play and you laugh with the victory of makeing little kids cry, which is all fanboys want anyway.
My xbox 360...well she had a good run, and i am replacing her on the 7th, but 9 times going 3 rings on me, she had to go. but what can i say about 360, about half its lineup is first person shooters, they cater not to the casual audience, but to the old people audience too. My dad, 64 years old, he doesnt play anything but first person shooters, and he loves his xbox 360. He prefers a mouse and keyboard so im looking for a Frag FX type controller for his 360.
All in all, i say ps3 is my favorite because. I can watch hd movies on it, i swapped out the internal HDD with a 500 gig 2.5 inch sata 5400 rpm notebook hard drive, and voila...super space. Built in bluetooth, i got a keyboard for it like i said, but im also looking for a headset that will actually work *boots the madkatz headpiece* and i dont want wires going across the floor. One glitch though about the Bluetooth keyboard thing, if you want to play FFXI with it, you have to get either a usb wireless or just a plain usb keyboard, bluetooth wont work.
Now ps3 introduces movie and episode downloads like the 360 cept its slightly better, i personally found the ps3 menu easy to go through and i found what i was looking for right away. maybe when Xbox gets their dashboard upgrade my opinion will change, but this is the opinion of a girl who has played all 3 consoles, and while I love them all very much, i will tip my hat to PS3 because it has Uncharted, Darth vader (scIV) and Solid Snake sneaking behind it, and soon, it will have Kratos as well. I hope to see more quality games like this on the console, but for real guys. Fanboy and Fangirlsim must stop. Just focus on having fun and not bashing others for having fun that doesnt live up to your expectations of fun. Thank you

of course playstation is the best. its got the coolest name, best technology, and every second game released for it isnt about war. free internet too? NAH.
and you use a USB to charge the controller...no shock=very light weigh on the controller as well as the L2-R2 trigger system they implemented
i also own a Wii and it has less "playable" games than the playstation. if it wasnt for me having breath of fire, landstalker and sonic2 on there i probably would have dumped it.

Not a bad list of choices. The obesity one is really sterotyped. I'm not fat at all, and I just sit on the computer all day, and one time, when I told that to someone, they're like "I'm surprised you're not fat." It can be really biased sometimes.

I'm not either. It's just a joke. I knew, out of all of these, that one would get the heat the most. So far, not too many people have said anything though (crosses fingers for no hate...)
Wow, nice article.

sloppy WHAT jam?!?
Wow, I know Tifa's breasts are one of the greatest gaming boobies I've ever seen, but wanting to spooge on them? AWKWARD!
But in a way, I find it hilarious. ^_^
haha
awesome blog. The fan art bit is spot on, you cant go anywhere near DA anymore without streams of shit sonic fan art coming at you.
And apparently chad isn't faking, he really loves his ps-trizzle
Oh what?!
Man. Actually, that is quite funny.
5/5
That was great post! I rant about games if they suck.
Fanboys have a brain? Wow, I
Fanboys have a brain? Wow, I never knew that :P Guess we DO learn something everyday
I totally agree
I totally agree with all of it espacially no.2

Uhm...

and what can you say about Xbag? flush.
Math
I just like how you're ranting about ranting, lol. It's alright though because yours actually had a point and was entertaining.
True
I thought of that when I typed it and was like, "Poo, I hope no one cares."
Good List
