It'd be funny if it wasn't so close to the truth

[QUOTE="Dykstrav, post: 5600016, member: 40522"] Full disclosure: I know that it's fake. It's supposed to be "funny ha ha," and I did have a laugh at it. It became less and less funny as I saw more of the people that I've had the misfortune to play with over the years. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_PRPt7bjT4]YouTube - Francis is Upset about his 4ed Dungeons and Dragons Game[/ame] Here, I can see the player that insisted that the party had to do what he wanted because his character was a paladin and had the highest Charisma in the group. Here, I can see the player that calls first-timer players "retards" and "cretins" to their face because they don't know how to calculate AC or attack rolls. Here, I can see the player that believes that bathing is optional, and people complaining about his odor are "harassing" him. Here, I can see the player that picks up a female gamer's dice from the table right in front of her to explain to her what they are and what they're used for (speaking very slowly, as if to a child). Here, I can see the player that purchases a soda at the game store and hovers over the counter for thirty minutes to harass the guy at the register about how his DM in his home game is "screwing him over." Its funny, but it'd be more funny if I hadn't run in to so many players like this. It made me realize that [I]these[/I] sorts of people are the real reason that I play less than I used to, not the edition or product support. Finding a good group to play with is the real challenge. Does it remind of of anyone that you've played with? :) [/QUOTE]
