Title: In gaming, everything is amazing, but no one is happy.
Post by: Tears of Destiny on September 06, 2011, 02:49:22 am

Here is the article about why people love to bitch so much about video games, entertaining and truthful.

After reading this, I was reminded of our suggestion forums... and all of you idiots wonderful people. (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/09/gaming-everything-is-amazing-and-no-one-is-happy.ars?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss)

We are sitting around a Dungeons and Dragons table and complaining about people who read Twilight.

I am ashamed of myself now.

I admit that struck close to home for me as well.

Wussies.
D&D = free form imagination excersises and social outlet
Twilight = young girl and homosexual erotica about "sparkly vampires" (which are giant flaming emo kids to boot).  My ex read that trash a little bit, then realized it was trash and burned the book.

Huge difference.

Also there is the factor of "gay" and the scale of said factor.  The higher up the scale, the worse it is.  Ironically actually being a homosexual is on the bottom rung of that scale and thusly inconsequential.

"Hate means never having to justify oneself through logic."
It also leads to the Dark Side, which is ballin'.
