{{quote|''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|Since the dawn of time, a rift has existed between casual and hardcore gamers]]. A struggle that has threatened to tear the gaming community asunder. The question on everyone's mind: should games be played to have [[Scrub|fun]] or to [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|win]]? No side seems to have an advantage over the other, it seems that no resolution will ever be made. However, a small portion of gamers know the truth. The answer lies not on either side, but in an unknown third side. These "sages", as they have come to be known, have kept the secrets of this third answer hidden for fear that the general public was not ready to understand. In early 2008, a game was released that would change everything. That game was [[Super Smash Brothers]] Brawl. Although most gamers did not know it at the time, that game embodied the very essance of this third way. The eldest sage called a meeting to be held in his [[Basement Dweller|mother's basement]] and it was decided that the time to teach the public of the mythical third way was at hand. A handful of the third way's greatest sages were gathered and sent off to teach their knowledge to the world. The wisest and most attractive of these sages realized the potential that the world wide web had in spreading his message. He began to work on a great project. A video series to teach others of the third way. It would be his magnum opus.<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Record Needle Scratch]]] [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|Unfortunately, that man would later die in a freak accident while giving his]] [[Cute Kitten|cat]] [[Noodle Implements|a bath]].
