The most annoying kind of gamer?

My friend is pretty nice, good sense of humor and highly intelligent, but is sufferable in small doses only. He suffers from mild dyslexia, so he mixes up words and pronounciation, but that's not the actual problem. Because his brain makes an extra effort to speak well, this translate into a rare clinical condition: "nevershutthefuckupism". And the only treatment is pain applied to his jaw.
- He completely ruined Dragon Age, RE5, Bioshock 1 and 2, Mass Effect, The movie 300, stories by telling the punchlines in a dozen key plot elements,
- Tried to explain to me for an hour that "tanks go ahead into the fight while mages and healer stay back, even after I repeatedly told him I was 10 years older than him, a D&D master and I had 3 LV80 in WoW,
- Will teach you every trick in a boss battle, even when I repeatedly told him I wanted to find out by myself,
- Will skip any cutscene in english, because we're from Québec and trust my experience; if the kid doesn't show any interest in learning english in elementary school, he never will. Cutscenes are my reward after a tough battle and he makes me want to throw the controller at him.
- Also; telling him to shut up I'm concentrating on translating you the mission objectives won't work.
- Has a complete inability to let others place a few words, cuts you in your speech and repeats himself, especially after a joint.

Not quite sure you're picking up what I'm putting down here. I find the people that diss on casual games to be annoying, the so-called "Hard-core gamers" that only play Counter-Strike or Modern Warfare 2 and have absolutely no range in games they'll play.eelel said:
The people that would call you scum for playing casual games are the people that annoy me. I play all kinds of games myself, the only two games I own on Steam are 'casual games', I find it a good place to get my casual games from because they're cheap and they have a wide selection.
I hate just about any kind of gamer who doesn't play to have fun. I can't stand little kids who are playing games that are obviously not for their age group (the nine year olds who play halo, counter strike and MW2 are the worst.) Elitists who can't stop talking about how awesome their platform is, or people who rag on other gaming platforms. I can't stand homophobic/xenophobic racists, kill whoring arrogant morons, people who never stop playing and insult you when you don't get higher than a 3:1 ratio, I could go on and on.
[blockquote]or those people who think they're 1337 gamers because they listen to DotA by Basshunter all day...[/blockquote]
I feel you, man.

[This is what I posted in my no-member user group:]
I am a typical Escapist gamer.
All my opinions are fatuous, and all of my arguments are constructed to support those opinions rather than the other way around. Having long given up the hope of having 'fun' in gaming because my soul is dead, games now fill a far more important role as fodder for the vast sea of inconsequential disagreement that is my ecosystem. My infirm spirit is sustained by the self-certain knowledge of the foe-creatures' innate wrongness.
I claim to have nuanced and time-tested views of any number of important issues regarding the amazing and largely untapped canvas that interactive media provide, but they all amount to a prolix justification of the fact that I only play recent popular titles that I will defend to the e-death because I can't trust anything that won't utilize all the processing power at its disposal to be of any quality, and I can't trust anything that asks me to use any of my emotional or mental capacity to be any fun.
I compose o'er-long, accusatory screeds against people that presume to disagree with me because I find their deliberate misinformation personally insulting, and I will make it very clear that if they simply understood even the merest aspects about their hobby that they would arrive at the same conclusions I automatically and unconditionally defend. The very idea that a game I miraculously failed to dismiss as dross upon my first notice of its development could in any way prove somehow less enjoyable to someone else for any number of clear and easily-observed reasons is unfathomably conceited on their part, and the bigoted subtext that I, too, may have enjoyed it more had the elements in question performed otherwise is a gross injustice that I will indubitably liken to forced sexual congress.
If, at length, I am verbally bested in whole or in part I will insincerely and with as many qualifiers as can be reasonably mustered offer to be the better man and abate my insightful and diverse treatises on their surfacing allegiances to the the marching scourge of mid-century fascism, deeming the space around them far too unfortunate to inhabit for any longer an instant, though I will hasten to add that it is not necessarily their fault that their thoughts were so egregiously ill-shapen and that I would not bear them any malice but for the profane obduracy of my erstwhile patient's refusal to help me better it. Failure to recognize my grace and mercy is tragically certain, but can only add to my feeling of being a superior human being in any given parameter.

I mean Valve is the only developer I can think of that has been involved in more than 5 games and not a single one of them being any less than "good." Even Blizzard has screwed up once with Burning Crusade. Rockstar had State of Emergency, Beaterator, and a couple lame Game Boy Color games. Capcom made a lot of really mediocre Mega Man spinoff games. Meanwhile, the "worst" (least awesome) title Valve has done is Ricochet, and it's still pretty good.eelel said:
P.S.: Hey mods, I don't troll. Nothing but truth. "Inflammatory/offensive comments" or something of the sort would be more accurate.
the "prepubescent idiots who act all gangster and talk trash when really their balls have yet to drop and they live in a John Hughes style suburb" type. They like to get all JoshChristian like when you beat them in-game because your kill just happened to be the one that ended the all important "rise-to-the-top" streak.
