Putting the “Hell” in Help

Gamers can be pretty brutal. The chat channels open on games, whether it’s Warcraft or Uno, are chock full of more insults, trash talk, and braggadocio than Charles Barkley ever dished out in his entire career. This makes life for n00bs pretty difficult. Betray the slightest weakness or vulnerability, and your fellow gamers will strike. They must be robots to show that kind of acumen.

One poor kid from France learned the hard way that asking strangers for advice on a quest doesn’t pay off. All I can say is that while this kid was dumb enough to ask gamers for benevolent assistance twice, at least he wasn’t stupid enough to publish the name of his characters. This is a real post on the forums for a popular PC game. Unedited, unaltered, and unintentionally hilarious:

Hi,
It’s my second post on this forum, I’m currently doing the quest in 314’s mind with a friend, we explored his mind but couldn’t find the boss.(explored 2 times)
We asked in the channel what we must do, and 3 people said that we needed “buttsecks”, but after they log out or go kill some monsters and didn’t explain more, we’re both french and playing on Shulgoth because the ambiance is quite horrible on Sydonai, with almost no one wanting to party, insults everywhere …
I tried to search on this forum but only found 2 topics with this word, one was for a game of “the person after me” or something like that and the second was about Murmur being the oops i’m gonna spoil something, and that was reminding this guy of “buttsecks” so maybe this thing exist and is quite hard to achieve/obtain.
I googled it to but only found stupid cats pictures.
My friend think that “buttsecks” is only available for subscribers, but if you need it to finish the game I think he’s wrong, because even free players can finish the multiplayer mode, I think it’s stupid if you need to pay for “buttsecks” in order to finish the game.

So any of you know how to have “buttsecks” ?
Or maybe it’s a prerequisted quest or a boss to kill ?

    one wonders if he knows what he’s saying and posting a tongue in cheek (stupid human idioms!) response.
