I thought this would be a thought provoking tirade about how a couple of young boys who were once best of friends, grew up. Far worse than the likes of gamergate, the modern console gamer has turned those same best friends into two forty year old men with wives and kids, who no longer speak to each other, because during a trip to Gamestop last year saw one of them pick up a PS4 and the other pick up an Xbox one. During that year they have taken to posting 1 star reviews on Amazon and Metacritic for the other platform, then posting 5/10 star reviews for their platform. After spending more time posting and reading negative things on the Internet, they finally vowed to never speak again after debating how a 1080p game looks better on his old 720p Tv than a 900p game looked on his friends new 4k TV.

That sure showed me!

(Sorry op, only joking, and yes it is a real pain, and will probably only get worse, till we have ridiculously fast Internet speeds 10+x what they are now.)
