WHOA MAJOR EDIT!!!

THIS IS A CHARACTER! That being said. One - I totally bought it and you got me, man. Two - that stuff on his walls appears in other videos, so I still totally stand by my first statement.

Sometimes gaming makes me sad. As a gamer I feel that there’s a certain stigma around what I love. Don’t get me wrong there’s a certain amount of “cool” tied to the industry now, but I think a lot of times everyone has this impression that we’re all a bunch of fat, lonely shut-ins. And, well, I try to maintain that that’s not who we all are, but sometimes… Sometimes…

So my friend Angela posted this today and let me just point out all of the things that must be pointed out.

1. This guy’s room has like 8 posters and they’re all in a corner and they’re all just about the nerdiest things you could have posters of. Now, I don’t think I’m the world’s greatest interior designer, but picturing the rest of his white-walled room makes me uncomfortable and the fact that his poster of a “hot chick” is Slave Leia speaks for itself.

2. His voice is the voice people do when they want to joke about being nerds. Now this is just a mean thing to point out, but fuck it’s just so cliche it’s amazing.

3. You can’t see it, but he lets you know as a sidenote that he is so fat he will have to pay for an extra seat if he ever takes a plane. Good God, this just makes me sad.

4. He is very angry that people can use money to buy in-game items. When he discusses this, he rifles through a wad of cash for the camera. A wad which consists of 100 and 50 dollar bills. What does he do!?! Who is this man!?!

5. He is clearly very upset, but at 3:40, please notice that he stops being a human being. It’s very abrupt, but he stops mid-sentence, his neck seems to disappear completely, his voice changes, and his face turns completely purple. He becomes a monster.

So this person(?) is going to boycott Blizzard’s games. Hey man, I get it. I think WoW does suck - though I’ve always thought that and haven’t played in years. I think DRM is lame - especially for a series that didn’t used to be an online-only experience. And I think the people who would spend money on in-game items are insane and that it’s a really strange thing to do. So I agree with you, man.

Here’s the other thing: What did Blizzard do for you? What do you have to look forward to? Well, dude, they made it so you won’t play their games anymore. Maybe you’ll do something with your life and all that money you apparently have lying around in wads.

So thank you, Blizzard. On behalf of this dude, who doesn’t understand the gift you’ve given him. Thank you. God fucking bless you.

Edit: Okay, I can’t stop watching. It’s like Kevin Spacey’s performance in The Usual Suspects - every time I watch it, there’s something new. One of the things on his wall is a warning sign that says “MAN CAVE.” Fuck. Also, he really thinks League of Legends is garbage for some reason. He’s way down on the fact that his friends have turned to playing it instead of WoW. I also kinda neglected to mention that he whips out a giant fake hammer and throws it at a poster after rapidly bashing it against his head and then, finally, he smashes his face with his keyboard. Yeah, I think that’s everything, but I can’t say for sure. I’m going to watch it again.
