"I am a gamer"

I don't know how this slipped under the radar, but this is some comedy gold right here.  Watch this video: "I am a Gamer" by TheGamersCave  Cringe at how awful it is, and laugh at how many times it has been justifiably downvoted.

Now watch this parody video, "I am a druggie," it's pretty funny.  According to the description, TheGamersCave had the audacity to flag the video and threaten ToriStick to take it down or else his team of lawyers would take him to court.

Another parody video/YouTubePoop entitled "I am a Virgin" was created several months later.  In it TheGamersCave goes into damage-control mode and states that it was a joke and that he thought that the parodies were funny.  Nevermind all that stuff about threatening with lawyers!  The comments are hilarious too.  I like how he unleashed his own army of loyal fans to try to defend him.

Dumb Gamers: How NOT to play MGS3

This is probably one of the most hilarious "Let's Play" videos I've seen in a long time.  It's actually a series of clips of Metal Gear Solid 3 sessions of DSPGaming's most dumbfounding moments which were compiled along with insulting commentary by various youtube viewers, who I presume are DSPGaming's fans.

"Videogames are art" - Wrong

Are videogames art? An interesting (but very wrong) article from the Wolfire games blog after Roger Ebert caved in (no pun intended - just kidding, it was) to the masses of mindless gamers who insist videogames as an art form.  So when a developer can crank out three sequels a year and have hundereds of programmers, model makers, sound designers, or what have you, designing a game then it is a manufacturing process at that point. I'm not saying videogames CAN'T be art, there are definitely some good examples out there, but to imply all games as an art is absurd. The same could be said for movies.

Gabe Newell flipflops

...and no, I'm not talking about his massive breasts whenever he jumps up and down.

Gabe Newell had previously stated that the PS3 was a waste of everyone's time.  Now he's doing a 180 and saying the exact opposite.  I seriously can't stand this guy.  Funny how all his fanboys are also jumping on the PS3 bandwagon by praising how great it is.

'Left4Dead2 Boycott' leaders meet Gabe Newell

Pretty much sums up Gabe Newell in a nutshell:

That said, I am just playing devil's advocate here. I could care less about someone who cares less about themselves. He is not only fat, but doesn't seem to care about most other aspects of hygiene. Most every picture of him is usually him covered in freaking stains and other such markings (the full pic at his article, seen on Kotaku, shows some kind of stain on his shirt - either that or a huge sweat stain coming from his belly. He is gross. As someone said, I am no spring chicken either, but at least I try not to be repulsive (clean clothes and a freaking shower at least, COME ON!) when I go out in public or go to work. Imagine how his co-workers must feel?

Ignatius J. Reilly is alive and has a blog!

Is that Gabe Newell guy a fat fuck or what? I can't believe he finds time between stuffing his chubby face with KFC and swallowing the pieces of chicken whole -- without chewing, just like a snake -- to shoot his smacking mouth off about how the PS3 is a disaster. You know what is a disaster? The fat fucks cholesterol levels. How about he takes some time off from enhancing his whale like physique and howling about the PS3 like a sea lion in heat, as pieces of chicken fly into the collective faces of the internet and instead squeeze out more that 1 game every decade, huh how about that? Then at least what he says would have a semblance of relevance instead of being the annoying ramblings of the man-child leader of a game company with almost no games released in 15 years for a now defunct platform.

If Ignatius J. Reilly were alive today and was writing angry posts about videogames on the internet, then I think I just found him (and I mean that in a positive way, honest!).  Read this blog and this blog, too.  It's a blog about how much the industry has changed for the worst, the death of PC gaming, the golden years of what gaming used to be, and why Gabe Newell is an asshole.  It's very well written and articulated and I couldn't put my thoughts into into words better than this man.
