Tracking gamer related idiocy, obscenity and genius across the internet. And we want to know about it.
Will post rational thoughts from gamers too, the kind you least expect. As ever, submit below.

I love how over 450 hours in I am still finding places new to me

I can’t remember how long Raptr said I’ve plated for…
I had my first nightmare because of those motherfucking things. I was in kindergarten and playing through the game with my dad. We got to that level and I remember being just absolutely horrified that one was going to get me. That night, the nightmare happened.
I was playing out in the yard by myself doing things a six year old would be doing. Eventually I wanted to sit on the dead grass but it hurt my butt so I went inside and got a pillow. Coming back outside the clouds had rolled in and it was darker outside, or so I thought. I sat down on the pillow in the middle of the yard and looked up. It wasn’t clouds that were blocking out the sun, it was one of those fucking hands. It was flying down at me and I was paralyzed with fear. It grabbed the pillow I was on (this made the hand into a sort of cage with me in the middle) and we took off. We were probably a thousand feet in the air and moving fast, not just upward but also forward about at the rate of an airplane. Suddenly, it lets me go. I’m flying through the air hurtling towards the ground, getting the feeling of going downwards on a roller-coaster. I am going to become a splat on the ground. I’ve got seconds to live. I’m only six. I haven’t even started primary school yet. I didn’t get to say goodbye to my parents or little brother. The ground seems to be only feet away. I can almost see each individual blade of grass that I am about to collide with. I try screaming with the last of my breath but no sound comes out. Then…
I wake up with a jolt in my bed, hitting my head on the ceiling. It was just a dream.
I still hate playing through that temple.
Beware what you play?

Bioshock Infinite or homework. Bioshock. Always Bioshock.

Couldn’t think of something to get for Josh for his birthday… until today at about 9:45 am while at work.
Now, my husband has that lovely kind of rage where he has destroyed countless controllers due to “fucking cocksucking fucking shitbags” in the game… (I am of course toning down the language he uses and not adding the sound effect of punching the walls)
So at lunch, i ran to Best buy, got a wireless controller… ran to the craft store, and grabbed a shadow box… then on my smoke break put this together for him.
He was pleased. I’ll probally spraypaint the shadow box sides red at some point and add a chain with a tiny hammer for aesthetic .. but not bad for 45 minutes effort. ;)
Thoughtful gift that.
Being a gamer means suffering anxiety attacks when you’re about to face what you know is a brutal boss.
Word.
WTF?!
“Outside of Pokemon, I find the DS library to be extremely dull”
I thought this was one of the most ridiculous statements I’d read in a while so deserved to be here. It’s from a comments thread on this story:

Diablo 3 Open Beta this weekend? Yeah I’m telling my girlfriend and my friends I’m dead for the weekend. They’ll understand.
Oh and I pre-ordered the Limited Edition version at work…
Why can I not control my excitement.and yes, I am prepared to lose followers over this.
It’s taken 12 years for this game to come out, it’s a big deal.
Any weekend plans?

I hate how guys think that girls can’t game or they complain about their girlfriends not letting them play their beloved games…
Maybe if you played a two player game or a non-FPS game, if you even own any (such a massive gamer playing the same type of game) your girlfriend would join you .
