It’s Funny Because PC Gamers and Console Gamers Don’t Agree with Each Other
Dorkly has a new live-action webseries called Best Friends! Videogame Club, and it’s really quite promising. Plus, it has the added benefit of being about a bunch of console gamers, some of whom briefly turn into obnoxious PC gamers — and since I’m sick as shit of the utterly needless political bickering going on in a post about a year-old Game of Thrones prop, I’d much rather you guys fight about something that means something: i.e. consoles versus PCs. As a firm console gamer, I won’t say I believe all PC gamers are bad… although I do believe all PC gamers wear open Hawaiian shirts over regular t-shirts, all the time, without exception. Now discuss. (Via Kotaku)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
