Comments on: T-Bag = Total Fag http://danielprimed.com/gaming/culture/t-bag-total-fag Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:50:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Jason http://danielprimed.com/gaming/culture/t-bag-total-fag#comment-2176 Jason Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:15:41 +0000 http://danielprimed.com/gaming/general-gaming/t-bag-total-fag#comment-2176 PurePwnage is a show which plays on stereotypes. He's black so he's rapping, the chinese one makes noodles and the white ones are more geeky, it's reflecting societies stereotypical views. More to the point, to properly emulate the rap culture, they've made the rap far more arrogant and cocky than the actual character is. If you see him in the scene before and the scene afterwards, he's a reasonable character who is welcoming and friendly. Therefore it seems you've taken the rap scene (a culture which is riddled with arrogance, masculinity and brashness) and disregarded the entire character. I think it's poor judgment on your part.

But that isnt what his article was all about. it was mainly about the degenerates that seem to frequent the xbox 360. As for pc gamers, well like consoles, the users vary from game to game. Some games have great communities! while [most] others, do not. As for the whole mouse and keyboard being superior, well, the mouse definitely is. No doubts about that. But the rest of the controller makes up for the lack of a keyboard. However in the end, the playing field is pretty level ^^ Anyway, I've been in your position before [with other games and platforms]. Its unfortunately frustrating what anonymity can do.

This is the impression that I also got and like Deagle HS I did actually enjoy the rap song(you never hear decent video game themed rap songs and this one was really good). Hmm..feel very unsettled about this article. I wasn't sure if I should post it or not. Although this Terrence character is a good example of my experiences with these sorta of gamers. The main message from the show and that episode in a way contradict my point here. I completely agree with you Pie21.

If he wasn't, Terrence Brown Halo 2 in Google would come up with something other than your article :) I think by the end of the eipsode it's pretty clear that the whole thing has been taking the complete piss out of Halo 3 and the ridiculous hype for a no more than 'good' game. The PP people most likely hate the elitist gamers as much as anyone, and I saw T-Bag as an embodiment of everything that's bad about Xbox gaming culture. Let me pull a couple of lines out: "Why would everyone be talkin' bout it if its not so aussm, Kyle?" "Hey Jeremy, why aren't you playing Halo 3?" "(complete disregard) Playing what?" Jeremy is a legend, and the whole episode was a joke at the Xbox and Halo 3's expense. The whole thing reeked of satire, and I love how he has a Copperhead (although mine's green, not blue).

I don't know how many times PC gamers have said Call of Duty 4 for XBOX and Halo 3 suck because there's no "Keyboard and Mouse" and how using a controller is an inferior way to play a game. I play them all. Like Bob said, the character is fictional and is meant to be HALO MASTER, therefore shits all over everything else. It's appropriate for the character and is not meant to be taken seriously. Bah, PC gamers are the same way.

Hmmmm, sounded pretty genuine to me but in anycase it feels good to talk about my experiences with the Xbox crowd. I just don't like the vibe that I get from *some* of those gamers and this T-Bag character summed them up pretty accurately. So it made for a good opportunity to get it off my chest. ^_^ He’s ficticious eh?
