Online gaming is a very unique experience. It's comprised of a cesspool of morons that spend most of their days being insulting immature brats. So what happens when you take a douche gamer and make him play a board game?
As RecklessTortuga shows us, nothing good at all. Although I will be screaming "lag" from now on when a person takes to long to make a move in a board game. Yeah, okay, so I'm a mild douche gamer. Sometimes.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I tend to swear a lot, but it's mainly with my friends for comedic value. I don't actually get that upset online unless some douche does the same thing 15 times in a row.
I've recently gotten into board games in a major way... yet I still fucking hate monopoly. I will use the lag line though since some games I play, CERTAIN people can often take 5-10 minutes to decide their turn...
Normally isn't a deal but when you get a table full of these assholes... but then again, I've been known to take long turns on Race for the Galaxy...
Ha ha, this is sort of like how my friends and I play Monopoly. When we're not busy betraying each other and ruthlessly destroying each other's businesses, we're insulting each other for taking too long or being a ragequitting asshole.
I actually got back into boardgames the $50-100 kind by http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/. Hate anything else, I mean there ok, if I'm playing it on console. Bring over your console if you want to play scrabble bitches! I've been recently thinking about this hobby, $100 boardgame, and yelling "headshot" doesn't seem to have the same effect when the other guy can't see his face being virtually teabagged.
Wow, Volomon, thanks for the link! Those look interesting.
As for the video, HAHAHA! I experienced Xbox live with Halo 2 back in the day and never again went back. Online play with assholes who have too much time on their hands is not my idea of fun. That is a hilariously well done video.

Therefore, I do not play that game at all anymore.
It's the next Halo 3.
Though this video was fucking hilarious LOL.
