I'm usually on twitter for video game news and other types of news. However, what blows my mind the most is the zealotry of videogame fanboys on twitter feeds.

I really don't understand why people would go to such extent to offend others because of videogame and target them in a way that, only people defending their honor would do.

To me, their lives must not be that great, due to the fact that they channel their hate trough such an unimportant aspect of life such as leisure.

What's you take on this topic?

I do it because it makes me feel better about my life.

Many gamers are very passionate about the games/consoles they love. So when someone bashes a game or a console they love, they take it very personally. Most of us just bicker with each other over it, but there are some that take it too far.

I must protect the honor of Halo my liege! I would fall on a sword for that franchise!

Some people definitely take it too far. Buying a game console and even using that one console says nothing about you, or whether you are a good person. If our favorite company was hit by an A-bomb and couldn't make games anymore, others would take its place in a heartbeat. It really has as much to do with the quality, meaning and purpose of our lives as whether we prefer burgers to tacos.

Find something else to be angry over for the love of God.

People are always at their worst on the internet, and you're right a lot of people have to resort to insulting strangers online and dividing into "teams" so they can hurl insults at one another and attempt to feel superior because of a choice they made.

It's not just video games but the "xbot" and "pauperstation" trash that gets spouted makes me weep for the state of humanity.

It's pretty funny to see how far some of this fanboys can go (especially the xbox fanboys on twitter, those are hilarious!)

Leave BGST alone. 

Shoutout to Crap, Mooch, TimDog, and the grandma banger himself Zaire. 

Videogames are the same as religion for others.
