Lulz, Hermits on SW are probably the saddest case after the Sheep.
Sheep have absolutely no credibility this gen. Nobody hears their baaa'a'a'a'as. A completely irrelevant species that knows and accepts it, apart from an odd Mario Galaxy thread here and there.
Now the Hermits, ignored 95% of the time by Cows and Lemmings. E.g. generic multiplat thread #945678322: "DiRT 3 360 version superior to PS3 version." Here, each and every pixel and aliased side will be dissected and misconstrued by the tint of the fanboy goggles depending on whether the dialect spoken is MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO or whatever the sound is that a Lemming makes. On every third page, there may be a comment hidden amongst the clutter: "PC version is the best." It is drowned in the rabble, unacknowledged and discarded.
Oh, what do we have today? A thread comparing the graphical capabilities of a PS3 exclusive to, uh, what's that game again, something about "Crying"? This is where the Hermits gather in droves and shine to justify their $1000+ rigs. This is their moment and primary purpose on SW. "No way in hell has that money gone to waste," they unawarely tell the consolites, "and your poor man's excuse of a 30FPS game looks like a turd covered in aliasing." 12 pages, 300 Crysis pics and 30 Uncharted 2 bullshots later, the original troll is still balking and AnnoyedDragon is getting more and more annoyed, providing bullet proof arguments like his life depended on it, before the thread is locked and he is unfairly suspended again.
Naw, the Hermits may have the best gaming systems but, as far as social status on SW goes, they are largely ignored. Cows have the stronghold here now amassed in cattle, though I remember Lemmings being the loudest when I initially joined.
