Popular Opinion of Skilled Gamers

Ain't nobody likes no videja game douchebags.

The worst kind of game douchebag had to be the bemani/DDR douchebag. I remember this guy who refused to play Beatmania unless he was wearing his faggoty black beret. Here on LI there was a DDR "group" that would bum around the more popular spots (FYE in Bayside being the most popular) Man was it hard to like DDR back when I did, because you would always run into some poser who thought he was hot shit because he could "Perfect Maxx Unlimited"

I concur about DDR. It wasn't until some really great DDRer (and child molester, but I'd rather not get into that) came by and helped my friends and I play the game on maniac. After that it was good times.

I've been playing games competitively since I was 16. I enjoy playing people better than me because it makes the game exciting. There's no fun in demolishing the opposing player. Chinatown Fair, however, has alot of douchebags (HAY FLASHG YOU FAT NIGGER FUCK) who really make playing a game torture.

I don't give a shit if somebody is better than me at COD4, GOW, or whatever. I'm playing to have fun and unless someone is a complete douche, my level of respect for a person has nothing to do with Video Game SkillZ.

this is a good fucking point... whenever I play Guitar Hero for a long period of time I feel worse about myself because I have a real guitar sitting in my room and I should be playing that. I'm glad I don't have any interest in being the best at anything I play... it is a worthless skill.

That's a BIG part of why I pretty much refuse to get dragged in to games with excessive stories and bad gameplay anymore.

"Hmm... I could be reading a good book right now instead of watching this badly written bullshit videogame cinema."

I've never been able to slog through that shit, at best video games have the story equivalent of those pulp books you can get ten for a dollar at the flea market. And this is the best of them, most are much, much worse.

The "deep" ones are the fucking worst.

YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND

as long as there is a button to skip the "story crap" and get to the game... they can fill it with whatever drawn out BS they like. I think Godfather for PS2 was the last game I played that would, at times, get a little carried away with itself but it was a fun game to play (in moderation).
