Dumbest thing you've seen video game fans in general do?

Shit you genuinely can't tell if it's real or fake.

If it's true, this guy's obviously got some underlying issues taken to an extreme with online bullying. If it's not it's the greatest troll ever.

Doesn't he say at 0:40 "This is me roleplaying, btw"? Guess, it's just for fun, but the 'yeah! `murica!' mentality seems to be genuine.
Oh, you mean his rage at the end? I guess, that's supposed to be funny, too. "My mum's gonna yell at me", don't think that he meant that seriously.


Also, btt: dumbest thing you've seen video game fans do: console wars. 'nuff said.

I'm torn between this and this

Video Game fans in general...it baffles me how it's generally agreed that EA has been pissing all over VG-fans for years-upon-years but people still pre-order and buy games published by EA at launch. I'm not saying buying into EA games is bad in itself since the companies EA rules over and the games put out under that banner can be great but by buying and pre-ordering those games on day one, week one, etc you're supporting all of the crappy things EA does. It's like VG fans are in an abusive relationship but instead of taking a stand against it we keep going back for more.

I'm going to go with fans in general also. It's mostly about two things.

-The whole "We want innovation, but also, more of the same thing" debacle.
-The whole "We want to be taken seriously? But we eliminate every discussion what we need to become a more mature industry" debacle

You'd think that progress would've been made with fans, but you'd be surprised.

I 'unno, either party tends to want to exclude the ones that don't agree with them.

I play enough games by Platinum to know that I sometimes like permutations of the same thing, I'm going to object if someone tells me that I'm wrong for thinking in such a way. I think that's the problem, the 'my way or fuck you' approach.

No middle ground is often offered, because it makes for more emotive debate. But that's where we have to agree on things, otherwise nothing will happen.

The same as any fandom: form up into tribes and shout at each other.
