Fanfiction supposedly written by a one, Terra Gillespie. Though many theorize that this work and it's author are entirely satire.
If it is satire, it is on an Andy Kaufman level of genius.
The story stars Terra as Ebony Dark'Ness Dementia Raven Way. A self described goff (spelling Goth with oddly situational Cockney phonetics) vampire (with straight teeth) who loves Hot Topic and hates herself some "prepz" (A word I never heard anyone, outside of a high school, speak with any sincerity short of A.C. Slater from Saved by the Bell.
The story features many unique and unfortunate points of interest.
1. Virtually every chapter starts with the author yelling and swearing at the reader base. Threatening to stop writing if at least five good reviews aren't posted. Essentially holding crap for hostage.
2. Character names are apparently suggestions. Each character, including her own, is systematically misspelled in a way that puts the greatest telemarketers to shame. Watching her try to spell "McGonagall" is sad, like watching a limbless man in a three legged race.
3. Harry Potter is now a vampire and, in a veritable orgy of creativity, refers to himself as "Vampire".
4. Dumbledore swears like a sailor. Dropping more f-bombs than a Dennis Leary standup set.
5. Voldemort gives Ebony a gun at one point to kill Vampire Potter, and speaks in Ye' Olde Rene Faire Englishe.
6. Ebony is in a gothic metal band called "Bloody Gothic Rose 666". Apparently they sound like a mix of between Good Charlette, Slipknot, My Chemical Romance and really bad idea.
other members are B'loody Mary (her jack off friend), Vampire, Draco, Ron (aka Diabolo) and motherfucking HAGRID (on washboard bass).
7. Apparently the dress code of Hogwarts has been replaced with a giant, magic Hot Topic that Good Charlotte routinely plays concerts at. I also hear Fred and George are now running the Hogsmeade Mall's Spender Gifts selling magic animated porn postcards, tin ankh/pentagram/potleaf jewelry and, fart based boardgames.
8. Many of the 45 chapters are dedicated, almost entirely, to the vampiric clown outfits she swathes herself in.
9. Even though she HATES "prepz" (a term that no one uses outside of high school) all of her favorite bands are ironically NOT Goth. Good Charlotte and My Chemical Romance are pop groups.
10. "I'm not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was, because he's a major fucking hottie."
...Think about that last line...why would you want to be related to someone you thought was sexy!?!?

My Immortal is either the single greatest work of viral satire since Chad Warden Or, the single greatest strike against public school systems to date.

(This commentary is written from the view of someone who technically qualifies as a Hardcore Gamer but, absolutely hates the majority of his peers. If you happen to be an HC gamer, that still manages to NOT look down on all those who don't conform to your style or that you are NOT somehow owed something from your hobby, than this does not apply to you. Not all HCG's are like this. The below is however, how the vocal majority wish to be seen. This is for them, and the bad name they give us all.)
Hardcore Gamer:
A very vocal, arrogant minority of gamers that assume that the gaming industry revolves (or should revolve) around them.
Consider their own skills, and preferences and, those of their peers, to be the only acceptable use of a recreational medium.
Often use the term "True Gamer". An arrogant, idiotic term invented by insecure people to justify their own gaming style.
The irony is, the gaming industry was born from the notion, that these are games, pinball dating back as far as the 40's was designed for people to relax and enjoy.
Pong brought it home, followed by other game systems that were designed for fun and recreation.
However, like all hobbies, there will always be those "stop having fun guys" that ruin it for everyone else.
People who feel that the industry belongs to them.
People who fail to realize that there will always be a place for them but really just want it all. If casual players get their way the whole industry will collapse and the world will end.
People who adopted the medium as their own and decided that they were the only ones worthy.
Refuse to accept that, like board games, video games are made to be enjoyed. They aren't made for you to feel good about yourself. there are hardcore boardgamers out there too and, they also miss the point.
Hardcore gamers are no less ridiculous than a "pin the tail on the donkey" elitist, who shows up to a birthday party with their own pins and blindfold, won't shut up about you're "spinning all wrong" then looks shocked, as to why the rest of the guests find them socially repulsive.
Hardcore gamers are generally cliquish, rude, snide and belligerent.
When they aren't attacking casuals, they're attacking each other for the dumbest shit.
"Yeah you beat that boss but, I did it without using half my abilities, blindfolded, with no healing items, on hardcore extreme killer blood-hell mode!"
Don't sell yourself short kid, you also did it with your head up your ass.
This comes from a culture where sarcasm is way more important than ideas.
To be hardcore, a game pretty much needs to be "difficult".
That's all hardcore games really are. Tedious and long, and dragged out and hard.
Because the life of a hardcore gamer generally isn't very taxing, they can turn to games to "challenge" them.
Often times they'll wax on about how casual gamers are gradually killing the market, while ignoring the fact that the market has always had room for both players and, that some people have a life to kick their ass. That, when they sit down to play a video game, it's not so damn important that a player needs to turn it into some perfectionist job you don't get payed for.
That maybe, a person who doesn't piss 90% of their paycheck on games also deserves to enjoy a game.
Me? I qualify as a hardcore gamer, but I hate the term. I'm ashamed of HC gamers and how awful they make gamers look. How ignorant they are. How arrogant and myopic. How they taunt and belittle people simply for failing to take a fucking game too seriously.
Hardcore gamers want the entire medium of electronic games for themselves. They don't care about anyone else. They're selfish, ignorant tools who want to stay in the basement, never getting laid.
There is a big difference, between wanting a challenge and, demanding everyone should. See past your own god damn skills for once in your lives. Learn to accept that not everyone can sit in front of a monitor for hours mastering a game.
If you need to insult a person's gaming preference, you're the one that needs to stop playing.

Hardcore gamers want games to be hard for the sake of compensating for an empty, easy life. They have nothing else to be proud of so they look to gaming for some shred of pride.
If only they displayed that pride with some manner of grace and civility.

World of Warcraft guild.
Asshole Farm.
Current holders of the
"Largest douchebags in a land of douchebags award for excellence in the field of douchebaggery."
Claim to "fame":
1,000 years ago, "raided" an in-game memorial for a real player who had died of a stroke and then made a lame, grainy video to brag about it and generally made asses of themselves on public boards.
Hid behind PvP to justify something done admittedly for cruelty sake.
Have since gone on to do absolutely nothing of interest or significance.
Today: A sad PvP guild of snarky losers with a message board made up of poorly spelled and primarily locked topics. None of which, are flattering to it's members in the least.

While you were all off fighting fifty foot demi-gods who wipe out entire parties in one swing, Serenity Now was laying waste to a small group of players fondly remembering a friend who will no longer be part of their lives
-who barely fought back.
What's next for these titans of war?
Eliminating the ever-looming sheep threat of Elwynn Forest.....(get it? "looming"?)
Serenity Now, where the REAL PvP is.

Pigheaded, ignorant sheep-minded fools who refuse to admit that games have improved in the decade since Final Fantasy VII was released. Worship an overhyped video game because it is fashionable to do so. Also tend to target Final Fantasy VI and VIII as the popularity driven trend of hate.
Any attempt to improve or advance the stale, trite formula of: "Stand in a line, pick fight/magic/Item from a menu and wait.
-Or, moving past interface/designs that only existed due to hardware limitations-
are met with fear, irrational rage, insults and a refusal to accept change or improvement.
Immune to logic, common sense, counter arguments or objective, even handed thought.

Final Fantasy VII fankids want Final Fantasy VII over and over with graphical improvements only. They are also arrogant enough to define the entire series by superficial means like "being turn-based".
Nothing will ever be good enough because they don't want it to be and don't care how ignorant and stupid they look.

Website devoted to The collectible miniatures game Hero Clix by Wizkids Games.
A large collection of cliquish fanboys and self righteous, ego stroking losers who spend all day thanking a corporation for taking their money in exchange for poorly made, developed and ridonkulously priced crap.
Questioning/criticizing Wizkids is a direct attack on members' egos, despite devoting at least one section toward the notion of criticism this behavior is not tolerated and group bullying is the staff's accepted response.

HCRealms is a great place to go to make your own fandom seem normal and healthy by comparison.
Remember: Wizkids prices are always reasonable and if you think otherwise you have the right to be ganged up on for saying so.

Game slang used by the more obnoxious, sheep-like players of the MMORPG: World of Warcraft, to describe people who aren't good at World of Warcraft.
(or who are good at it, but aren't cared for by the fuck sticks who find this kinda shit cool)
Alternative is "Terribad". Born from a mindblowing supernova of creativity and wit, combining the words "terrible" and "bad" to form a word so socially impaired and embarrassing, that it borders on self parody.
Used by the biggest losers, kids, forum trolls and mouth breathers of the WoW community, possibly to differentiate themselves from any intelligent players instinctively, to attract the only people capable of tolerating such idiots. Other Assholes.
If someone calls you a bad, it's not because you're actually bad at the game. It just means you pissed off a childless, witless, retarded jackhole who plays WoW.
