The Gaming Den

I'm not a fan of penny arcade but that is a total ripoff of one of their comics, and that's pretty low of John Gabriel.

You mean open source projects aren't golden nuggets of useful applications handed down from Olympus? Well color me surprised.

Not to say that Firefox isn't better than IE though.

Dude, he's the one that said beating a boss in a MMORPG is more of an accomplishment than his entire academic career! His 'friends' are almost certainly people that he only knows through WoW (i.e. not friends)

I would feel insulted but that's just too obscure.

If the best moments in your life are from a MMORPG you are beyond pathetic and the best thing to do for you at this point would be a bullet to the brain stem.[br][br]I can sorta understand having good memories from a tabletop game, since those are at least social, but if you are seriously high-fivin...

While playing EverQuest (the original) my constant group had just moved into a new territory. We were engaged in fighting some regular mobs when suddenly the baddest mob in that territory attacked us. Now we had already been killed once or twice by that mob, so our natural reaction was to run. But,...

You should smack yourself in the mouth for watching Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Unsocial people. Antisocial people are the kind that are charged with "Drunk and Disorderly". They're the types of people who think they're being social, because their disruptive, violent behaviour is performed around other people.[br][br]People who just don't spend time with other people...

It can be both, and I'm pretty sure it's also a mocking of the way antisocial people latch on to inanimate objects for companionship.[br](Of course, you could never admit as such in your making of, or you'd run off 90% of your playerbase.)[br][br]Similarly, the Skub comic is mocking the way message ...

I haven't seen the companion cube brought up anywhere. Except the few times its been rule 34ed.

Easy, criticism coming from retards is meaningless. Doing stuff soley on the grounds that it is(n't) cool makes you a retard thereby making your criticism worthless.

I never got this defense either. How does pre-emptively calling opponents on the criticism they have of you deflate that criticism in any way?

As a joke the skub comic is about as good as the companion cube, since it gets message board posters to act ironic about something they're doing anyway.

Maybe you guys should spend a little less time playing/talking about video games and a little more time getting drunk/tail.

I guess it's not an underage incest rape dating sim.

Cave lice speak Aquan, for obvious reasons.

Congratulations, Tempest Fennac! You are this week's quote of the week!
