The life or death gamer

You know that guy, the one who gets insulting when a teammate driver flips the hog he was riding in? The one who insults you when you miss your shot or when you don’t have the same strategy as him in a team game? The guy who talks trash and Tbags every single guy he kills. I know that guy. I know a lot more about him then he knows about himself, now I’m going to tell all of you. His real life is pathetic and empty. He has achieved no life goals and/or feels otherwise inadequate to the rest of humanity. Perhaps because his childhood was really messed up and now he has issues with self esteem and is full of impotent rage. If he is in his mid to late twenties, he has no skills that would make him employable. He has no meaningful, well paying job, and no benefits. He lives at home with his mother (still) He has no steady girlfriend and very few real life friends because he is immature and can no longer relate to people his own age. He has no life and no future, and a part of him knows it. What he does have is a video game; he plays a lot and is probably pretty good. The game is the best thing in his life, the only thing. The game kills time. He has lots of time to kill. Online he has a chance to socialize in a small way and feel a sense of accomplishment and self worth when the team wins…when he wins. When his team doesn’t win he is reminded once again that he is a pathetic loser. If the team loses because you flipped the hog or missed your shot then… IT’S YOUR FAULT HIS LIFE SUCKS. IT’S YOUR FAULT THAT HE IS A LOSER AND NOT ON THE WINNING TEAM, HE DESERVES TO BE ON THE WINNING TEAM!!! Let me see if I’ve got this straight. You have no education or real world skills, no career, no insurance, no retirement, you have no friends, you haven’t touched a woman in years, you live in your parents’ basement, and you play videogames all day everyday. You think I’m garbage, I’m a loser and I should kill myself? I’ll try not to laugh directly into the microphone.
