Sigh... Gamers need to change, not the communities
Marioland \| 3:26 PM on 09.05.2009	7 comments

A bit pessimistic view, I know, but I stumbled into this while watching the updates river that flow in the main page of Facebook

Of course I hid the names and pictures (i don't want anyone to get nasty personal messages in my conscience) but this is utterly pathetic. How is it even possible a simple thing such as posting a technical help page could spawn so much hate, irony and fanboys to go wild.

Changing gaming communities.... yeah sure, but it won't happen until we change the gamers. Just like in the greater society I guess....

I would say it's mostly the internet and anonymity but I worked a job with a bunch of 14 year old kids this summer and...well, this happened.

This generation has truly revealed how ugly, immature, and pathetic the vast majority of the video game industry is. The fans' embracing of the 360--the most defective POS console in gaming history--and consentual wallet rape of microtransations (and RRoD) and rejection of the Wii because of "weak graffix"; and the developer's outright disrespect of the Wii (games that look worse than PSX efforts) and seeming attempts to kill off the console; Dyack and Jaffe's schoolboy attitudes...

No wonder video gamers get a bad rep.

@CADALFRYN: It's even on facebook. the thing that has the least anonymity on the web. It's just sad :(

Xbots and PS3litists are some of the worst kinds of fanboys in recent years.

I think the man who invented the TreyBrotherhood on Youtube is enough justification for fanboys to exist. Seriously, I have never laughed so hard in my life.

More of that sort of thing please.

All arguments are invalid, as evidance comes off of FCUKING FACEBOOK! Come on dude...

@ Mentok

Where would you want to take them? Fcuking PS3 fansite? Facebook is a place that anonymity simply doesn't exist and still they fight like idiots!

about me

Hey! I'm a 23 years old man and I'm living in Greece. Believe it or not, video games are not banned here so, stop asking.

Another year in my life, another correction to my blog description.
Hi, I'm Marioland and I'm a gamer for a long long time. Greece sucks when it comes to gaming. Not only the gaming industry has a great lag, but the titles and peripherals cost all your fortune. It's not too bad though since internet is here. (and I'm not talking about piracy)

Gamers here in Greece as as lame as ever. There are people who claim themselves hardcore just because they spend their precious life in World of Warcraft. There are also some dumb-asses who bought a PS3 just because for the status quo. It's a bad situation where you hear bullshit from all the fanboys that doesn't even play the damn thing.

There are also youngsters who can't even afford to finish the game themselves. My younger cousin finished Valkyria on the PS3 watching the solution from youtube. Care to read a Walkthrough you say? No, man, no extra effort for reading. This is video and this is lazy ass.

But, hey! It's not that bad! I have some good friends that play nice games and know what to do. They are also culturists like me and think about stuff before they start to talk. It's always enjoyable to find such people around, especially when you want to avoid the assholes of Xbox Live.

I'm also new to the gaming journalism. I contribute to a greek gaming site called [url=http://game20.gr]Game2.0[url] where I post news, reviews and editorials. It's all in greek so, it will be kinda greek to you.
I found out that this kind of journalism is the worst place to be from all the above. We have the worst sites (only a couple are good including ours) and some certain magazine is so bad that makes you cry. The gaming journalists here are some stupid elitist guys who believe that their word is the law. The bias and the fanboys get in the way of the information they put on their writings. I have already stalked once since they have trolled on one of my texts. It's that bad.

Anyways, I own a DSlite, a PSP, an Xbox 360 and a Wii. Feel free to ask me for friendship on these platforms. It would be nice to get my ass handed by someone from Dtoid.

Keep Gaming!
