Why online gamers don't have girlfriends

OMG you fuckin' noob!

Yeah. That's basically what I see from Gamer Culture. Fratboy discriminatory slang, ADD, general disconnect and some great material for a vid. Lol


Most of the gamers I know (both OL and RL) are hardly like this... not even remotely... although I avoid games like Halo or MW2 so I guess that might be why. No wait, there are idiots in just about any game so I guess I'm over the hill then as far as gamers go

This is poorly thought out and executed.


A bit close to home there Farhad?

It's done in humour, yet does show the annoying tendencies of MANY players online.

I think we all know there are many online players who are both nice in game and also can quite well carry out relationships in real life... but there are those who are just plain dicks

I find it interesting that "gamers" are cornered to their own culture. Although it is true that some are near obsessive and create a personal reality that is based around games.

I suppose my point is, that the masses within any online gaming community or medium are representative of the populace as a whole, or at least a significant portion of, given the appropriate numbers (ie, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, with over 4.7 million copies sold in 24 hours, within the UK and USA alone, besides console and PC game players in total).

The douchey, bigot, racist, sexist homophobia that exists online is only an outlet for the people that feel, think and would otherwise act out in the same manner, if not for fear of repercussion by someone or someones in "RL".

The cloak of anonymity is easily a level 40 item. Video games provide an escape in more then one way, I think.

But who am I to say? I've got some Pixel Junk in need of attendance. Oh, and I thought this clip was hilarious.
