H: …You wanna know where I was? Ronnie wants to know where I was, Hermione, nyeheh! Herm: Oh, Harry, please don’t make a thing over this. R: What’s going on with you two? H: Go on, tell him, tell him. Please, I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of it. Herm: Sigh. Do I have to? H: I was in the common room, getting my things together for Snape, and as I walk into the corridor, I see Cho Chang in front of me with one of her girlfriends. Just chatting, laughing, having a fabulous old time! So, I called out hi, just to be polite, since it’s not like we’re together anymore— R: Remind me why that is again? She seemed like a real catch, mate. H: Really? Do I really need to remind you? R: Oh, right, something about Bertie’s every flavor beans? H: She eats them in bunches, Ronnie! R: Ah, yes. H: One at a time! That’s how you’re supposed to do it! Do you just shovel them into your mouth? R: No, as a matter of fact, I don’t. H: That’s right, you don’t. Because you’re not insane. R: No, I don’t suppose I am. H: How could I be with a person like that, who so casually disregards the good manners of decent society? Hm? Hmm!? R: That is a quandary. So, what happened this time? H: I’ll tell you. I see her in the corridor, the two of them, I say hi, they turn to look at me – not even a full turn, mind you, but like a little listless half-turn over the shoulder – they look at me, then turn back around and keep walking! R: So she snubbed you. H: SNUBBED ME, RONNIE!! Herm: Harry, please, I’m sure she was just busy. R: Do you think she’s mad about the breakup? H: Mad about the breakup? Why would she be mad about the breakup? It was a good breakup. Wonderful breakup. I was civil, cordial, we parted amicably. There were good feelings all around. Herm: Harry, please, none of that matters. You broke up with her. Over jelly beans! You didn’t think she’d be a little cross about that? H: Oh god, you’re right. She’s mad about the breakup! Should’ve seen this coming! R: Wait, so what happened next? Why did you miss a whole Potions class? H: What? Oh, uh…I, err… R: Harry, what did you do? H: Well, I followed them into the Great Hall, where they sat down for lunch, and while they weren’t looking, I….performed…a little…let’s say alteration, to her pumpkin juice. R: You didn’t! H: She’ll have…vomit breath for a few days. Herm: Harry! H: Well, I wanted her to see what it’s like to be snubbed! Once people get a whiff of her, they’ll flee to the dungeons. Flee, I tell ya! R: I gotta say, it’s a mystery why you can’t seem to keep a girlfriend. (I'm so sorry ) |

I hate console race, it is something created by bunch of 15 year old kids, whose parent are not rich enough to buy all the consoles. Out of their insecurities they come out and try to justify their purchases by insulting others.

That would be console war. The console race is something different. The gif has actually nothing to do with 15 year old kids and their insecurities, though. It's just a reference to Microsoft's failed opportunity to answer Sony's PS4 conference on an even level, as far as gamers are concerned. But yes, I agree. Randy Pitchford from Gearbox addressed this issue not too long ago and explained a bit of philosophy behind it. If we decide to buy something, there is something we don't buy. And that which we don't buy, we automatically downgrade in value, in order to justify our decision. He elaborated more on it, but that was essentially the bottom line.
