Zenfoldor attempts to give his opinions about PC gaming fans and the PC platform in general:

 

Ok, here is the deal. PC gamers are the worse in the pool for elitism. Generally(and I'm generalizing here) they refuse to give in any aspect. They act as though the PC is always absolutely better than a console, and that's just not the case.

For instance, Pyro as Bill wrote:

Simplicity- PCs can be tricky at times but BSODs are much easier to fix than RRODs.

It's not as much fanboyism as it is blind elitism. These people spend so much money and time on their rigs that it's pretty much their life. They are PASSIONATE about PC gaming above all else.

The problem is, most of their talking points are vastly unrealistic, and they are out of touch with the common man.

This picture:

....pretty much sums of up. That's from a yhatzee zero punctuation review, where the man pegs the mindset of the passionate PC gamer. It's a direct insult to shio. A parody of a childish mindset. However, what is so amazing is just how many PC gamers have this mindset. It's rediculious.

Me, myself, I, you guys know that I'm a great debater, and even if I have no point, I can usually get at least a foothold in an arugment.

Dude, Yahtzee is a true PC gamer. He knows well about the duality this picture represents, on how the overpowering tower the PC is against other platforms and the sophisticated palate of PC gamers, while having to cope with negative aspects that "Dirty console gaming peasants" wouldn't want to touch.

 

Are you being intentionally ironic about Yahtzee's intentional irony?

That's deep.
