Don’t know where gamers get their reputation for poor sportsmanship? This guy certainly deserves a share of the blame—and should be handing out free earplugs to his opponents.
Brian Nihill of Team High Society appears to be the hysterically competitive Call of Duty player whose throat-shredding tournament outburst was captured in a video clip by Zach Shelton, who goes by the YouTube handle RINGSHOUSE, but it seems safe to say he’s starved for validation. Why else would he stand up every few seconds to shriek over his screen at a team that’s already losing the virtual battle? Understand, this isn’t trash talk: it’s just formless noise.
Shelton has deleted the original video, this is a reupload.
Once the match is won, of course, he continues to chest-thump as convincingly as a pimpled console geek ever could. His boast that “You’ll never beat me! Ever!” might be meme-worthy if it displayed an ounce of imagination. From the smirking expressions of those observing the victory dance, however, it’s clear he lost face by giving vent to his guttural angst.
