Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Anyone who is good apparently.

In which case, it's a misnomer.

You can be good without trying hard, after all.

But for some people (me included), that's far out of reach. No pun intended.

???

Sorry, is just that I read the Urban Dictionary entry about that word, and it really confuse me. Would you like to explain you a bit more? :)

People who are good. Because the only way to be good at a video game is to make it the absolute center of you life and pay attention only to it.

In other words trying hard to be the best or something along those lines.

The most hilarious thing is that most of the people with this label don't fit this description at all.

Tryhard is a stupid word. It was made up by the bad players to describe the good players. It comes from the notion that you have to try really really hard to be good at video games like Halo, and that being good only means you play a lot.

It's completely wrong. Some people are better than others.

If someone does better than you, they're a tryhard.

Hmm I think I got it, but I have heard a lot about "BTB tryhards" in the forum lately, in which sense is used that word there?

IF: They > You

When: You = Bad

THEN: They = Tryhard

They use it there because "Good BTB players" doesn't have the same meaning to the kids in this forum.

Something that you and I (finally) agree on.

Finally understood the word, thanks! I never thought that the Reach forum could be helpful at something. :)

Well usually this section of the forum is a sea of flaming and trolling, help is the last thing you could expect here.

Off-topic: Derp, just noticed I am now a Honorable Member.

Precisely what I meant when I said it was a miracle.

Off-topic: Anyhow, congratulations.

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

"tryhard" is the token fat, unemployed, lives in their parents basement fanboy that devotes their life to videogames (any system and/or platform) whos sole mission is to be better then everyone by using all of the b!tch tactics such as: camping, spawn killing, weapon whoring, head glitching, etc.

TL;DR: a tryhard is an a$$hole with nothing better to do then be the absolute best at a multiplayer game through any means possible.

It doesn't matter if someone is good or terrible at the game, it's the ego that makes the tryhard, a modest tryhard, isn't a tryhard. A true tryhard has an ego the size of a planet.

e.g.
"Lol, you suck, I killed you 20 times with the rocket launcher, lol, I'm so MLG, your k/d is negative, you're such a loser, oh, you killed me, -blam!- LAG!!!"
