Using their state of the art 'microsoft paint', researchers have theorized how gamers will develop over the next 20 years...

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

I've been gaming for 30 years. I don't look anything like that. Daily Fail strikes again.

 

[stranno]

How press articles will look like after 2 weeks of quarantine: OP's link.

 

[waltyftmus Prime]

Cheeky bastards, after gaming for over 35 Years i can honestly say this is utter bullpap, or is this a late April fools?

 

[Mista]

That dent in the skull is supposed to be from the headset? Well sorry to break it down for you but I don’t put headsets made of bricks

First The Mirror and now Daily Mail. Get that clickbait shit out of here

Ah, it's funny. Good for a laugh and a little convo...

What did they use to draw it... they must be the most talent-less people ever.

Those cunts are the most clickbait whores you’ll ever see. Even in their sports articles they’re clickbait as fuck

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

I supposed if you're a no life, CoD prestige master, expert at social distancing, vitamin D lacking sweat, you might end up looking like that.

The rest of us do tend to walk about, and shit.

 

[M1chl]

This is more likely to be those internet male feminist.

That's ALREADY those internet male feminists.

 

[Bryank75]

I was actually going to check if Anita Saarkesian or one of her male allies was behind this... but, I can't be bothered.

 

[NorthernSword]

Interesting I've been playing video games heavily for almost 35 years but somehow I'm a 3rd degree black belt in karate, have trained BJJ for the last few years and just set a deadlift PR at 500lbs last Thursday... I would love to do a fitness test against the skinny fat soy boy who wrote this.

 

[M1chl]

True, but he did not have that soy face:

[Airbus Jr]

That is disgusting

Someone should sued those guys for defamation

Im honestly offended by this

Theyre basically insulting us by portraying gamers as deformed people

Meet Michael, The Future Gamer | OnlineCasino.ca

Wonder what the future has in store for gamers? From hunchback habits, poor diet and trigger fingers - we predict what the future gamer could look like in 20 years.

Must have been an April 1 prank.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Fake. A man, he's white!!!! No black, muslin, arab, woman, pro Qatar representation is racist and a white privilege!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!

 

[Nymphae]

Why is the head so fucking deformed in the profile view?

Consistent, light pressure built up over a number of years could cause an indent in the hair, skin and skull if stressed long enough. This means that overuse of headsets during game-play over twenty years could cause deformation.

 

[bhunachicken]

Can we ban links to the Daily Fail, please?

 

[Psykodad]

That's how I picture Heinrich/Meirl/Panasonic/Etc

 

[dilbag]

it looks like some freak that would end up chasing you in one of the clocktower games or something

 

[TheAdmiester]

 

[VGEsoterica]

lolol maybe they should do what the average Daily Mail writer looks like next

 

[Nymphae]

What the fuck, that cannot be from tight headphones lol

 

[TheAdmiester]

What the fuck, that cannot be from tight headphones lol

It's shopped, from about a second or so after this one:

Just hilariously appropriate for the thread.

 

[EightBit Man]

Ah! So that's where people got this ridiculous (and in a way - funny) illustration from. lol One of the most silly articles I have ever read in my life, and I've read plenty of 'em.

 

[skneogaf]

I look like this now

 

[mr.dilya]

Probably accurate.

 

[Urprobablyright]

Already got the beginnings of dat belleh, the horror!

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

No, they're probably right.

 

[sublimit]

True, but he did not have that soy face:

Where's Neil Druckmann and Cory Barlog?

 

[M1chl]

Where's Neil Druckmann?

Not really aware that he does that. He seems to be hard-ass based on his tweets.

 

[teezzy]

True, but he did not have that soy face:

Jesus fucking Christ

 

[teezzy]

Like honestly, what the FUCK is that dumb face for? What could possibly compel someone to make that face? Why? I'm so mad right now

 

[Anki]

exactly, if i see youtube thumbnail like those above i am not clicking it, it says to me that Author doesnt have quality content and has to bait viewers with stupid colorful images.

[Shin]

I've been gaming for 30 years. I don't look anything like that.

 

[GymWolf]

[Bryank75]

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Love it.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Edit

My bad

I’m going loopy

 

[Mistershine.]

If the daily mail said the sky was blue I'd look out of the window to make sure.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

More like how daily mail readers look like.

 

[Tiamat2san]

Burn him!
WTF is this shit?

 

[Bryank75]

Third thread?
