Gamer Excitedly Saves Up For A Year To Buy PS5, Dog Excitedly Destroys Controllers

Every gamer dreams of purchasing a new console. Folks like OP watch as all of their gamer friends one by one acquire the new console. They see all the updates in the group chat and stare angrily at all the requests for "PS5 users to get their butts online ASAP." Alas, there is a light at the end of tunnel. After a year of saving up OP finally gets his PS5 on and makes the purchase….only to discover that his doggo beat him to enjoying the new system. Come on dog, there's no way that tasted even remotely (hehe, get it, because of the controller?) good. Rude. Side note, when considering acquiring a PS5, we suggest looking out for scamming scalpers.

The Truman Show But Only From The Bathtub Guy's Perspective

Yeah, it was just a repeating gag from a movie that came out over 20 years ago. And while The Truman Show wasn't necessarily a modern classic, it still stands as a decent, if somewhat sappy exploration of the human condition, parasocial relationships, and how we relate to each other. But the most important thing is that there was this guy in the bathtub with us the whole time, a fellow viewer who kind of has is own arc, even if he's pruning up in the tub.

Tumblr User Expounds Tolkien's Wonderful Nerdery

Tumblr users apparently have a lot of time on their hands, and they use it for amusingly specific and labor intensive thoughts like the relationship between elves eyes and the curvature of middle earth, or discussing the full versions of classic sayings.

Desperate Entitled Customer Tries To Steal Video, Gets Hung Out To Dry

Not only did this person try outsourcing their own work at the last minute, they decided that they shouldn't have to pay money to do that. If there are any lessons to take from this, the broader one might be "stealing is bad." But a more specific lesson might be "displaying your naked intent to steal something is an especially bad idea when you desperately need that thing in order to keep your job." So there's that. And here's a Karen who didn't understand why work should cost money.

Gamer Friends Argue Over Who Would Win In A Fight: Doom Slayer Vs. Master Chief

You might be familiar with DOOM and Halo, if not, sucks for you. These two legendary games have been compared throughout history, and everyone's got their own opinion on which is superior. We decided to do a little analysis of the 'Doom Slayer vs. Masterchief' matchup on our own:

Halo - Master Chief wakes up from sleep already in full power armor, first thing he does is go to his commander to get a gun before he starts doing any killing.

Doom - Doom Slayer wakes up naked, surrounded by demons, rips off the handcuffs holding him, grabs the head of the nearest possessed with his bare hands, and splatters it on the corner of the sarcophagus where he was kept for probably thousands of years.

Our money is on Doom Slayer, but that's none of our business. If you enjoy both gaming and arguing, you might also want to check out this piece about stupid Warhammer40k rules arguments.

Here are some dogs with embarrassing haircuts.

Delusional Manager Won't Accept Resignation
