Surfer Girl quits – we am cry

Sadness. Surfer Girl’s made her last post, saying that the point of her blog was to “force folks to pay attention to important things going on in the real world and encourage them to become activists for social and political progress. I probably failed miserably, but at least I tried.”

You didn’t fail, lady. Our newsreader’s been full of politics for months thanks to you. And you always made us laugh. And you were on the money most of the time, which is more than can be said for half the fucking jokers given to pouring crap into our hard drives every day.

We salute you. RIP.

I didn’t see any of the politics… just the gaming predictions.

YOU FAILED.

Yeah, because obviously video gamers don’t care about the really serious things in life…how patronizing

When Miyamoto gets voted the most influential man of the year by a magazine then, yeah, gamers tend not to care about the really serious things in life.

Oh, and they absolutely suck at taking criticism. Which is kinda funny when you consider how much they dish out.

“force folks to pay attention to important things going on in the real world”

Must’ve missed that post.
