Gamers who wear Mario hats to work, when they don't make/sell games? Conspiracy theorists? People who back anything on Kickstarter without giving some research and meaningful thought into it, just to get cool looking reward?Achelexus said:So who is this mocking anyway?
From what I've noticed making references to conspiracy theories has become fashionable. I see the pyramid, the eye, the owl and all the other none sense being worn more and more commonly. I think it's a way of being meta and smug. I blame pop music.Achelexus said:So who is this mocking anyway?
But there's no Fedora! How can it be true without the universal symbol of euphoric bliss?Barbas said:They've got your number, Taco! :c
So, outside of conspiracy nuts, it's your standard "you're not like me, therefore you're a weirdo who I have the right to ridicule"? Fairy nuff. "Well dressed" to my mind has always been a synonym for "uptight pretentious wankers who believe everyone else is adhering to trends while they're just 'normal' and who care more about how much their clothes cost than basic comfort" - as long as someone's clothes are clean and their arse isn't hanging out of their trousers, why should it matter if they want to wear a Mario cap rather than some hispter-fuck fedora or a sports-company-branded beanie? That's rhetorical; it only matters to morons.Hairless Mammoth said:Gamers who wear Mario hats to work, when they don't make/sell games? Conspiracy theorists?

Well, it actually hurt to read that feed. Though I am sure/hope/please for the love of sanity let it be true that he is trolling. Oh who am I kidding? Of course there are people out there who think that Obama/McCain/Romney/Palin/whoever they don't like are Illuminati shills. Of course their own pet candidate is the only honest one out there.Haru17 said:This comic seems less about gamer identity and more about this twitter account: https://twitter.com/illuminati_stop

The account is quite clearly trolling and joking, mocking the conspiracy theories...jklinders said:Well, it actually hurt to read that feed.

OT and real talk. Looks like the guys are actually taking a shot at all of the conspiracy theories within the gaming community specifically. Gamergate/Doritogate/Mountain Dewgate/whatever. I just get the impression from their work that they actually dislike gamers...a lot. Not that gamers don't give them cause but the incredible smugness they exude at times makes even Moviebob seem reasonable at times.
It's twitter. And Twitter being Twitter I would argue that it cannot be quite clearly anything. The odds are good that it is bad satire but I have seen serious as fuck shit that looked just like that.Scow2 said:I take it you don't have a high-paying career, then?Ark of the Covetor said:So, outside of conspiracy nuts, it's your standard "you're not like me, therefore you're a weirdo who I have the right to ridicule"?
