Jan 4 2010True To Life: Online Gamer Playing Monopoly
NOTE: Video NSFW due to yelled profanity (you haven't bought earphones yet?).
This is a video of an online gamer transferring his skills to the realm of board games. Specifically, Monopoly. It's dead-on accurate, and pretty much highlights all the reasons I don't play online anymore. I can only listen to a bunch of squeaky 12-year olds running around calling each other faggots so many times before I want to kill them all. And that number is 1. Go die you little morons.
Thanks to Isaac, who only plays single-player because, like me, he is his own best friend.

This is clearly fake... No one moves TO Detroit.

nathan knows this is exactly like real life because he is in real life... definitely not an advertisement

Sounds like me when I play online :3

I can't believe I watched that whole thing. Stupid.
Waffles.
7. ThatChick - January 4, 2010 5:32 PM
I love it!
And you never bug a guy when he is in the middle of a game!
8. Willie Dixon - January 4, 2010 5:33 PM
Another reason this is clearly fake is that gamers don't have the balls to talk like that to people's faces or have girlfriends that hot.
9. Wes - January 4, 2010 5:35 PM
lmao that is awesome
10. Willie Dixon - January 4, 2010 5:36 PM
Also, the gamer was super skinny....and didn't have a greasy pony tail...and wasn't wearing a geeky t-shirt...wait, I think I'm looking in the mirror as I am describing this? Twist!
11. Dru - January 4, 2010 5:49 PM
Ooh, the deep v-neck t-shirt I'm not feeling.
But gamers definitely have girlfriends that hot, and hotter.
Afterall, I date a gamer. And I'm freaking tasty.
12. Aaronzzz - January 4, 2010 5:49 PM
HA! funny stuff... Totally why I hate open online play with Taints like this guy, Makes you want to punch him in the throat.
Come on Kids, Playing video games is about relieving stress, NOT venting all your prepubescent angst about your mom being a dirty dirty whore. lolzzz

I'm not an online gamer, but oh man, I am sadly a bit like that when it comes to Monopoly... It really does piss me off when people throw their $200 in for income tax when they'd be better off paying the 10%. Oh well. Too few of us monopoly folks out there... by the way, i'm the battleship...so hand off!
14. i'm seriously the nicest guy u'll ever know - January 4, 2010 5:57 PM
Am I really the first person to notice that Rachel Miner was the girlfriend?
15. Larrythefatcat - January 4, 2010 5:59 PM
So, wait, 75 percent?!? What the faq are they talking about? That makes no sense!
16. Boost - January 4, 2010 6:02 PM
Waiting for the video to load, but I imagine it's a lot like the 12-year olds that play WoW.
They have PERFECTED the art of being obnoxious, and there is always a huge swarm of idiots to back up the first idiot. It's a really rare thing to find another intelligent person to take your side, although maybe they've already left the channel...

i dont know but that gf he has gots a nice ass...just saying..snoogins

Single player games are where it's at. You know, games with stories and gameplay beyond twitchy point and click crap, and of course none of these dick trees with no lives.
People just make everything worse. So... go away.

The people in the vid made their first mistake by playing Monotony, uh, Monopoly.
Online gaming is great, but pulling out Monopoly is like sitting around watching one guy play Castlevania for ten hours. It's part of a bygone era, and ludicrous when there's so much other great board games available.
Play Fiendish Floors or Agricola. Arkham Horror, Pandemic or Last Night on Earth (the Rolls-Royce of zombie games). Join the 21st Century.

I love online gaming, it's just too bad it's ruined by online gamers. Yes there are gamers with hot girlfriends, but like in the video most of them just ignore their chicks. It's retarded. My step brother is a case in point.
Left 4 Dead is the worst online experience ever. Game is fun as hell but people take that crap WAY too seriously. Too many guys like the one in the video. In the future Xbox Live needs to try to separate casual gamers from those who play because they don't have anything else in their life.
23. chris - January 4, 2010 8:23 PM
this is one of the funniest posts in a while, thanks GW.
24. Ashley - January 4, 2010 8:39 PM
I usually end up killing guys online who talk like that. Which is guess isn't "bad for a girl".... then I tea bag his face, that really pisses them off for some reason.
25. Slightly funny but that's it. - January 4, 2010 9:39 PM
@21 yeah, that was funnier, probably because it didn't belabor the point too long... The other vid was almost too doco style un-comfy
26. Sammywa - January 4, 2010 9:57 PM
I like that he even has the right voice for the part.
27. Karen - January 4, 2010 10:25 PM
@24
They of course assume you are a man. Either that or you are fat and ugly half girl mutant. Men refuse to accept that they got their asses handed to them by a hot chick. If they did I think their already tiny penis might just go ahead and make a full retreat back inside. Then what would they do with all their fake Megan Fox nudes!?
28. whhiitt - January 4, 2010 11:22 PM
this is seriously the hardest i laughed all day.
fantastic.
29. Dan - January 5, 2010 1:57 AM
If you can relate to this it isn't funny for one of two reasons. The first being that you hear this kind of stuff online all the time and it's obnoxious, or the second being that you're the one being obnoxious online.

Oh shit, someone was spying on me D:

LAAAG
32. Ptentacle - January 5, 2010 8:36 AM
@2 HA! And yes. I only play PC online (no mmo) where I don't have to hear or read anything anyone says. So, anyone still play Command and Conquer: Red Alert? I've been waiting for a long time...
33. MarsHottentot - January 5, 2010 10:24 AM
This is what I've been missing? I'm proud to say I'm officially too old for modern video games.
34. Injut - January 5, 2010 10:40 AM
That video was lame. I am upset with all the positive attention it is receiving.
35. Dru - January 5, 2010 12:34 PM
It disturbs me because I live in a house part time with guys who scream that stuff at the tv screen all day. And we don't have xbox live. They just scream at the video games.
And half the time it's Super Smash Brothers.
Not even lying.
36. Snowman - January 5, 2010 2:42 PM
Uber funny shit!!!!!!
37. Dan - January 5, 2010 4:46 PM
is that girl with the brown hair in purple Macauly Culkin's ex-wife?
38. Brian - January 6, 2010 1:11 AM
You idiots, it is not meant to be "real." It is of course "fake" just like those "movies" and "tv shows" can be. Still can be funny though.
39. Nikki - January 6, 2010 4:20 PM
1. The brown hair'd girl looks like Sasha Grey..
2. I'm a girl and I talk like this in l4d2 and codmw2
3. @ 22, well technically on 360 theyre suppose to set their type of gaming whether "casual" or "underground" etc. which is IN THEORY suppose to team you up against people with the same type of gaming. But never happens.
Anyway, hilarious video and Im still wondering if that's Sasha Grey...
40. Niki - January 12, 2010 3:41 AM
This is the funniest video I,ve seen, I still can't get enough from this guy xDxD, I watch it every day, (this page is my home page xDxD
