The Top 7... Stereotypical gamers we hate

They shouldn't exist, but they do - avoid these gamers at all costs

Words: Tyler Wilde, GamesRadar US

1. Obsessed forum guys

Usually plays: Nothing
Favorite snacks: Cheetoos, Doritos, Fritos

An eternally toggled caps lock isn't an accident - it's a state of mind. It's absolute contempt for decent conversation, and often even the topic of conversation. Not only does the obsessive forumite not like games, he doesn't play them. If he did, he wouldn't have time to rant about how shitty they are in asinine forum threads.

This stereotypical internet outcast rarely makes himself visible to the actual world, so we can only guess at his physical qualities. The lack of sunlight and any foodstuffs not wrapped in plastic has likely atrophied his muscles and turned the hue of his complexion to a putrid yellow. Dead skin from the bridge of his nose has become encrusted on the pads of his LensCrafter glasses, creating a thick sludge that occasionally drops bits of filth into his already crumb-infested keyboard. If it weren't for his mom insisting that he let her do his laundry, he'd never remove his favorite Akira t-shirt, which features streams of rotting Red Bull running through valleys of caked-on Cheetoo dust.

This stereotype is easy to avoid if you stay out of forums and comment threads, but who the hell wants to do that? Apply a mental douche bag filter and jump into our forums to spew some hate of your own.
