Gamers Are Assholes

Now, in my “favorite video games” article some time ago, I mentioned that, personally, I’m not much of a gamer. And by that, I mean I’m not very good at them. I enjoy video games. They’ve been a large part of my life. However, I’m just not very skilled.

So, perhaps it’s with a little envy, or perhaps just a boat load of frustration, when I tell you, the folks who are good at them are mostly a pack of arrogant cum stains who I wish would die in a horrible fire that kills their parents and pets as well.
