I quite like highlighting and doing that right-click Google search thing on goon names whenever I read someone on here say something faggy or retarded and then I laugh because like 95% of the time the first results are for posts on Eve forums or some other video game poo poo alongside hours logged on Steam like it's a full-time job.

Well, the shift in TV has gone from retard sitcoms (though they still exist) to semi-intelligent series that have consistent characters and a developing plot, so TV has gotten smarter.
We needed something to fill that void, so now videogames are our primary source of retard entertainment.

See, it fills an important niche in our lives.

Bungie's new video game Destiny, due to be released on 9/11/14, will reportedly end the current conflict in Gaza. When pressed for comments, the somethingawful echo chamber in the games subforum was quick to defend its beloved saviour of triple A gaming. "You're a gay jew if you think Destiny will be a mediocre game" one poster suggested, while another said that "The beta was so good I put 400hrs into it and it cured my islam".
