*Applause for demonstrating exactly why this is an important fight, apparently without the capacity for irony*

Good list!

Yes, other people's successes are such a great opportunity to prove what wonderful people we are. By bitching about it. You're a true hero, sir or madame!

Took quite the scenic route, making someone else's tragedy all about you.

I'd say so, yeah. Just know what you're getting into so you can actually relax and enjoy the ride without wondering what the point is.

This kind of shit is why I don't feel comfortable in the gamer community.

I saw a screening of this last year. I'm not exactly in the target audience, but I found it pretty exhausting. There is no plot, there is no point, everything is a rip-off of something else, in a stale way that goes far beyond simply in-jokey references — it seems delighted with its own lack of originality.

Agreed. Insightful. This should set the bar for this site.

I don't have those. But I do have the internet, so I was pleased to see this.

Not psychopathic so much as incredibly insensitive. Is this really the week to start complaining about the fact that gamers are seen as sheltered and removed from reality, and thus completely insensitive to real-world circumstances? Because that's a cliche you're fulfilling here, with relish.

Right, because you understood exactly half of the joke and thought you'd chime in.
