Loser nerds playing shitty games together makes you stupid.
Imagine if you will the Goons of Something Awful coming together to play online games in a clan-like fashion. Yes, it makes me sad inside too.
This is in essence the Something Awful forums in game form, with just as much faggotry and painfully old memes being thrown around as you'd expect to find in the forums at any given time. In order to join a goon squad for any given game, it is a necessity that you are a goon, and sufficiently pro at the game in question. The largest of the squads base themselves around really great games, where in they make it their goal to ruin the game for all the other geeks playing it, and often abuse the game mechanics because of their large numbers to become very powerful.
It is ironic that this power comes with the fact that said Goons remain Goons and still wont ever get laid.
