Second blog post on the site begins now:
Joined some groups in an attempt to be more sociable. We'll see how that goes. I'm pretty wired right now, think I got injected with some of Charlie Sheen's tiger blood.
Anyways on to the topic I wanted to write about, does anyone else that plays a lot of games not really consider themself a gamer? I mean I know I ticced off the gamer check box in my pigeonholes but honestly, I hate the term gamer. Why? Because I associate with the mass hordes who play one fucking game and think its the best on the planet and everything else sucks. What sparked this? A lot of posts I've been reading from video game pages on FB lately. On an MvC3 post some person posted "everyting cept MvC3 sucks, it's da best" or something to that effect. Yes, clearly, if it's not the game you play its a piece of shit. On a Playstation post, whoever runs that page asked "If you could ask the project lead of Deus Ex: Human Revolution anything, what would it be?" and the responses were a bunch of "Wut is dat?", "FIX COD LOLOLOL", and "the 1st part sucked, what makes you think the second will be any better?" (There are three games, in the series >.>;
.
Games are an art form, despite what some movie critics with antiquated views might think, and should be enjoyed as such. They should be praised for their innovation and design, not just on how well they hold up to the previous incarnation or hold up to your one favorite fucking game. If gamerdom continues acting like this, it will be forever perceived by society at large as a group of petulant children... and they'd be right. Seriously people, expand your fucking horizons. Playing nothing but COD or Street Fighter or (and I'll even go after my preferred genre) Final Fantasy is akin to listening to nothing but Nickelback or watching nothing but Paul Walker movies; Basically you look like an ignorant fucktard.
