Destructoid is genius with some of its parodies of the hardcore. In this recent one, the parody begins about a hardcore person becoming ‘enraged’ over a worthless comment a movie reviewer makes in Entertainment Weekly and writes an entire column over it. Pictures of an equation are presented that Shadow of the Collussus does not equal ping pong (i.e. ‘art’ does not equal ‘casual games’).
Here is a direct quote:
After I looked up what “turgid” meant, I was outraged. These blanket statements about videogames being mindless entertainment have got to stop! Seriously. Enough is enough. I dedicate my life to an art form (yes, art form!) that, at times, can be much more emotionally satisfying and rewardingly complex than any movie I have ever seen. And, yes, that includes my beloved Showgirls!
Absolutely brilliant parody! I am impressed.
