I'm kind of like a CyberBuddhist warrior-monk. I have mastered the most powerful weapon you can use against another gamer and the most powerful tool you can use to achieve inner peace, asking "Why are you mad at video games? You sound like you're mad at video games."
I can play video games or even watch entire cartoons without being mad. I can make my enemies incredibly mad at video games by insisting that they're being too mad at video games.
