It's true. Such is the ferocity of their snarky barbs, and such is the strength of their console-specific convictions, that even an atom-splitting, Fallout 3 end-of-the world nuclear event would not be enough to eliminate their insatiable ranting and raving. Lucky for us, we'd be gone, but we cannot say the same for the hapless cockroach, which would be doomed to an eternity of "first" posts and incoherent rants about monthly NPD Group sales figures (and yes, future cockroaches learn to surf the web).

Social skills? Equally scathing rhetoric from the cranky wizards. "Where most children spend the day running around outside, building forts, playing capture the flag, exploring the woods and swamp behind your house, and doing other activities with the neighborhood kids, the hardcore gamer mastered whatever system was popular at the time."
