What I am saying with this post is that I like the loud guy who is yelling, who is Shmorky
He is yelling on the video
He has a voice, you see. A voice that is weird. Shmorky has a weird voice. That he uses to yell

I think that his voice is funny, but other people think it is annoying
Ok how are you doing over there, guy? You still with us?

on the one hand I agree with you that shmorky and lowtax, together, were greater than the sum of their parts, especially earlier on

on the other hand shmorky's descent into madness was visible even to the TVTropes crowd, which pretty much means your insanity is visible from outer space, that's how hosed up it is

IIRC correctly, Shmorky's voice was high on purpose. I think the idea was that it was like 'Uncle' Lowtax and 'Nephew' Shmorky kind of characters. In the first few Gaming garbages, Shmorky used a normal voice.

I prefer the theory that he was passed out pills and booze because he was trying to make goons find his corpse, because Lowtax is a comedic genius.

Keep your 'lectric eye on me, babe
R-Lo called me this morning from his hospital room in Seattle. Apparently the reason he hasn't updated in a few days has less to do with his job, his move and his computers and more to do with his recent encounter with a city transit bus. Before you people start freaking out with "OH GOD NO ZACK IS GOING TO DO ALL THE UPDATES FROM NOW ON" I assure you he is already on the road to recovery and was not seriously injured in the first place.

Lowtax also jumped on board the 'gamers are misogynists' bandwagon. Goes to show just how far Something Awful has fallen. It's been around too long; the owner has jumped in bed with the establishment.
Gee, games played by teenage boys who have high testosterone levels but low levels of sexual satisfaction might portray women in a sexual light? REALLY?
WE MUST BAN THAT, FOR THE GOOD OF SOCIETY. There is NO PLACE IN SOCIETY for immature boys being sexually satisfied.
All sexual satisfaction must come through the female gatekeepers. Is that not the end game? They know the key to controlling males is sex, is this just an offshoot of that knowledge?
Speaking of which, I am gay, so the attempts by women to control sexuality are especially hilarious to me. They really think gay men are their allies? They have no idea how many gay men simply cannot stand the average female.
