Filed under: Random bits of cheese
I am not a gamer, by any means. I tried to play Star Wars: Battlefront with my friends in college once. As a stormtrooper, I could do nothing but run around in a circle looking up, and as an Ewok, I ran into a tree and got stuck, because the fuzzy bastards didn’t appear to have any reverse gear.
I have several friends who are hardcore gamers, so I’ve learned some of their pointless terminology so I can tell when they’re insulting me. I know the words ‘noob’ and ‘pown’, which apparently have multiple spellings, and even abbreviations. Those are really the only words I understood in this video, but the message is clear.
I would have enjoyed it a lot more if the guy had elected to skip the inspirational speech, and gone straight for the throat. “Oh, you have a level 80 warlock? Neat. Let’s see how much help he is to you when I beat you with a chair leg.”
