On-Line Ettiquete Does Not Translate Well to Real Life

The first part of this video happens every day in America. The next part is what could happen if you bring the same attitude now associated with the immature, Xbox Live-playing preteen to a board game night your girlfriend has organized with her friends. Warning: Don't try this at home, kids (unless you want to have an extended stay on your couch) [via Geekologie]:

Heavily-addicted online gamers probably put everyday things -- like playing a board game -- in these terms; they just don't verbalize what they're thinking. But anyone who pays $200 in Monopoly instead of taking 30 seconds to calculate the income tax is a noob -- and girlfriend lag suXXors. Right?

That's just awesome. Yet another great example of the [url=http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/]Greater Internet Dickwad Theory[/url] at work.

That clip is 100% funny. The dude does a perfect job of applying Internet Dickwad composure to a real life situation, and the acting from the other people is appropriately awkward. I laughed through the whole thing. :D
