What is a goon cave?

A goon cave is a term commonly used in online gaming communities to refer to a location in a game where a group of players, known as goons, gather to socialize, coordinate tactics, and work together to complete in-game objectives. The term originated from the Something Awful forums, where groups of players known as "goons" would regularly participate in multiplayer games and form communities within the game.

Goon caves are often seen as a place for players to bond, strategize, and have fun together. They can range from relatively casual hangout spots to more organized, competitive environments where players work together to achieve specific goals.

In some cases, goon caves can also be used as a way to exclude other players or maintain a sense of exclusivity within the gaming community. However, they can also be welcoming spaces for new players to join and learn from more experienced members.

Overall, goon caves play an important role in fostering camaraderie and teamwork among players in online games, creating a sense of community and shared experiences.
