[Hróðvitnisson]

Nonsense like this is why I will not let Gabe N.'s spyware anywhere near my computer, and why I will not read anything targeted toward my moronic generation.

 

[Christ-Chan]

 

[Xarpho]

Yeah. Exactly. I actually quit watching Extra Creditz partially because the whole treatment of video gamers as an oppressed minority got to me.

Someone on /v/ dug this up, I feel its rather important however.

 

[TheRedRanger]
