I think it's because most of us have been into this stuff our entire life. For most of us it's our passion. It's the same with anyone and the stuff they care about, not just us. It could be cars, or art, or music. Anything.

Now, if someone were to come in here and say, "Well this and this and this, but I don't really understand videogames. Maybe you guys could help me out?" that's a completely different story. They're trying to actually learn what's what, and not just spouting worthless sh*t for no reason. I'm not about to go to a PC board and start posting stuff about PC's, because I have no knowledge of them. Maybe if I went to ask a question, that's different.

Plus, most "hardcore" videogame players are complete losers who have nothing else in their life. They're assholes just because they spend more time researching games from 1986 than they do actually playing them.

I personally don't care if someone new to games comes along into our forum, because I welcome new people here openly, but if they know nothing about games, then start to post stupid crap relating to games, then I get annoyed.

I'm also like Benvenuto in the way that people playing games horribly is really annoying to me. When one of my friends is there trying to play a game, going in circles, dying, being a complete moron, it makes me angry. I don't know why, but I just can't stand stupidity, especially when it comes to games. It drives me up the wall.

I'd also like to say that everyone needs to knock off using the term "pro". None of us are "pro" gamers. There are few in the world who are and those tools shouldn't be there. The fact that some of these idiots get paid over $100 grand a year to play Halo is disgusting. If there's one thing I hate more than ignorant newbs, it's ignorant veterans who call themselves "pro" and act superior.
