Hardcore Gamers
I'm going to be satirizing how serious people take video games, which I will do by writing a dialogue between several computer game addicts that supposedly takes place within the confines of the game's chat log. I'll comment on the hardcore attitude some people take on video games and how pointless it is to take them quite that seriously. The way that some people religiously play games such as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft will be my main focus, the 72 hour gaming sessions without sleep and the energy drink binge drinking, not casual video game playing or the video games themselves. What do you guys think is the most ridiculous thing hardcore gamers do?

This is good. I think it's really funny how video gamers (the ones I know) shut down all the blinds in the house when it's light outside so there's not glare on the TV. It's so dumb to make it so you can't see daylight during the day. I just have major problems with people and when they try to beat nature or screw with it. Also, it seems to me that these people are quite interesting characters, maybe give a background description of each of them before you jump straight into the dialogue.
ReplyDeleteI think that it would be pretty hilarious if one of your characters StarCrafted himself to death while chatting, and the last thing you get is his head slamming against the keyboard and giving a "7u7uyjyhuj7" (that's what my head typed) or something. So, yeah, dying of starvation from a game would probably be the most ridiculous thing that could happen.

ReplyDeleteThere's always the classic middle-aged man who claims he's a girl in game. That's pretty ridiculous!
