I actually find it funny only because there is a "Lose 43lbs in 10 Weeks! With no dieting or exersize." ad right at the beginning of the article. I guess they do know their target audience. :roll: It's bassically shlock and made to piss people off, as usual. I don't consider myself a hardcore gamer, and there are some annoying things about the fanatics, but if you are going to make fun of them, please do it with less cliches and better jokes.

Wow, it's like it's 1995 again, except with more references to MMOs. I give them a 2/10 for the effort, and sticking to their points. They led in with fat and out of shape, ane kept running with it as they piled more on. That's dedication. But it's mostly ho-hum cliches and some "we're better than you" elitism.

Wow, someone was bitter when they wrote that.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

OW is the greatest website of all time, trust us we made a list about it. We represent everything the hardcore gamer is not. We are social, are college educated, in good shape, handsome, witty, have girlfriends, like going out, are well versed in rhetoric, well you get the point. Ladies loves us and guys want to be us. What’s worse is that we dare to put our opinions about things on the internet; the territory of the hardcore gamer.
Yah that sums up the douchebags there nicely :D
