I'm truly hungover. Not from alcohol, but from all the weird game news that went down yesterday. I mean, the PS3 konked out for just about everyone. There was some internal, personnel shenanigans at Infinity Ward, and Portal 2 was cleverly teased. Shew!
To relax after the long day of strange news in the video game world, I watched A&E's Interventions last night. TheFeed's Jake "Killer" Gaskill and I agree: It's the best show on TV and Jeff "The General" VanVonderen is the best interventionist in history. Last night's program featured a guy who:
1) Was addicted to Oxycontin
2) Was a 360 owner -- a conspicuously placed controller gave him away.
3) Said he used to be an "orchestra geek," but wasn't any more.
He was cellist who decided to be "cool" by wearing sunglasses, driving a ridiculous convertible, wearing Ed Hardy t-shirts and talking about his "homies." It was pretty funny, and inspired me to create a word to describe former geeks who try to be cool by aping the mannerisms of frat-bros. Ladies and gentlemen, please pepper the following word into your conversation so it catches on: Gouchebag.
Also: How 'bout that weirdness at Infinity Ward??

Me: May I have the definition?
Stephen Johnson[acting as a spelling bee judge]: Gouchebag-a jerk, rude, possibly mean, and/or but not always including, dimwitted people fused with that of a gamer/geek[i.e. nerd].
Me: Right, right...Gouchebag. G-O-U-C-H-E-B-A-G....Gouchebag ...
and so forth...lol

I just used it to describe the Activision CEO in your comments section.... he's a leaky Gouchebag filled with sanctimonious Dookie sauce for doing things that way... hopefully karma rears its head soon and he feels there pain...

Jeff Von Vonderen is the most amazing person on earth.

Gouchebag sounds like a couture purse, but I'll try using it later today and see how it goes.

The entire situation sucks, but being informed by the great Patrick Klepek all through the night even past midnight was awesome.
He is one of the best things to happen to my gaming news. He some how gets the inside scoop before anyone else. His connections are unfathomable.

Activision = Gouchebag
