I remember when Zelda 64 launched - I WAS IN LINE at 7:00 PM that night at EB to pick up my gold copy - there was a little kid there dressed like link with a little bow...his mom had the body of gannon butwas dressed as zelda....
reflecting back what kind of kreepy mom/son roleplay is that?...."Rescue me link!"

"YOU HAVE TO GO TO LONDON TO GET A HARRY POTTER BOOK!"
haha oh man just go to walmart and buy it from their STACK.

That Quidditch picture + caption is just...holy fuck.

So this is more embarrassing than staying home and drinking alone?

Saint: You'd have a good point if I dressed up like a wizard prior to drinking.

"People behave differently than me, and don't even seek my approval before they do it!"
-
I'm willing to bet that out of all those people dressing up like wizards, at least ONE of them will make a love connection with a fellow nerdlinger and end up going home and making sweet, sweet Magik together.

corny, do you ever defend gaffers, too, just for consistency's sake? or do you pick and choose which acts of internet elitism make your rectum clench into a little knot of fractious resentment?
also, are you embarrassed when you drink at home, alone? :'(

Mandark: Im exercising my American Right (tm) to act without logic and judge others.

don't listen to mandark. he's a potterphile. he's perfectly happy to judge others -- at least up until the point it involves his precious pro wrestling!

I hope Conan sent Triumph out to the line.

I don't read GAf at all so I really don't know what's going on over there. I just think it's kinda weak to sit there and make fun of other people doing what they enjoy when the person making fun of them seems to live in a bubble that only you and TVC can inhibit.
"Elitism" of any sort makes me cringe though, especially when the people being elite don't really have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.

I LIKED the last movie, im just saying skipping responsibilities to get sit in the street for two days, or traveling from AUSTRALIA to LONDON to get a book thats readily available next to the candy-bars at walmart is silly.
Saint: If yer gonna taunt me dont use Stocky's shtick, its beneith you.

Well then say THAT then, because up until now it seems like you were making fun of the losers in the pics.
Saint: If yer gonna taunt me dont use Stocky's shtick, its beneith you.
Oh, that's low. I'm not TAUNTING you though I'm being serious - how is what YOU'RE doing any better than THEM?
-
but i do have the right to be an elitist? under what worldview would i NOT have the right to be a smug elitist bastard?
also, do you think the people in line REALLY mind that someone on an internet forum is making fun of them?
-
i wonder what would happen if anyone did a spoiler drive-by. :lol

HARRY POTTER ACADEMIC ENCYCLOPEDIA

Saint: Because I am me.
And I do consider people who skip work to get a book or a videogame kinda lame. Priorities people. Go to yer fukin job.

erm, check my thread. i'm doing that tonight.

cornelius, you've drank at home alone on MANY an occasion, as have i. have you ever dressed up as a wizard and flew to london to pick up the latest in your favorite book series? or rather, are you just being snarky out of your dislike of maf, afraid that he might actually dare to presume himself better than other people -- would you rather keep him pigeonholed in your head as some hypocritical internet jerkoff? man, you just can NOT pick your battles, can you!
judging other people is one of life's greatest joys, for sure! even YOU are doing it, corny, by judging maf unworthy of making such distinctions because he arbitrarily drinks at home alone (although he often does it with friends, but whatevs, right).
-
I stood in line for book 5. I didn't dress up. I chainsmoked then, so it was easier to be patient enough to stand in line.
-
Cigarettes made you mad, you have an excuse backed by multiple court cases.
-
but i do have the right to be an elitist? under what worldview would i NOT have the right to be a smug elitist bastard?
oh feel free but don't be all surprised when someone asks you why you're so damn smug. you're not really that superior to these nerdlingers (and I'm not claiming to be, either)
also, do you think the people in line REALLY mind that someone on an internet forum is making fun of them?
no because they're in NERD HEAVEN. let 'em have their fun.
-

memories of driving by PS2 lines holding my (identical looking) Japanese PS2 box out the window and shouting SUCKERRRRRRRS as my roommate gunned it

PD is gonna hit up a Wal-Mart or Meijer in his hometown around 12:30 am tonight. Now's your chance!
-

How is this thread stopping them?
Now, Mupepe's plan is a completely different matter.

smug feelings of superiority are all that separates us from the animals

touche. let us have ours.

Cajole: Im using your replies as ammo. I will shoot your replies through the correct InterTUBE path that will open up right next to their Harry Potter line in VIRTUAL SPACE unleashing the entire thread's worth of venom-filled criticism.

I'm not saying this because I dislike MAF (I don't dislike him, we just butt heads from time to time) I'm just saying that the hierarchy of dorkiness is kinda silly. "Well I play WoW, at least I'm not a loser like those Harry Potter fanboys LOL"
And I only drank alone at home before because I COULDN'T go out. That's not the case anymore.

MAF QUIT STOPPING THESE NERDZORDS FROM HAVING THEIR FUN WITH YOUR SNARKY OBSERVATIONS ON INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS
-
Whatever. YOU'RE WAY SUPERERYOR TO EVERYONE DUDE
-
i wouldn't say "WAY" but i do in fact consider myself reasonably superior to most folks
real talk

I dont think I said anything about WoW in this thread, or compared my last two days to theirs. In fact all I said in this thread that skipping work to do the things they are doing is lame. I have never done so, and by my value judgement I feel I am better than them. You can't change that no matter how many videos of you chugging clamato you post to the intarwebs.
-
I'd say "way". I'm going to go home, cry, do a little interpretive dance and masturbate
You can't change that no matter how many videos of you chugging clamato you post to the intarwebs.
I don't have any VIDEOS of me chugging clamato and goddamn, I post ONE fucking pic about it and it's like I'm the spokesperson for Clamato. BTW, I'll never drink that shit again.

Hey now. I'm all for ridicule of bad taste in art and entertainment, and flaming the willfully ignorant when they spout off about social issues, but I don't begrudge anyone enthusiasm for their chosen hobbies.
I'd have much less of a problem with Willco dressing up like Bumblebee for the Transformers premier than I have with him giving it a B- on an allegedly objective scale.
-
i choose to have a problem with both, which LOGICALLY doubles the amount of entertainment i receive!
-
Word, but don't be so quick to throw charges of hypocrisy around, mr. "boo hoo it wasn't vonnegut's time"
-
Goddamn. This is the kind of shit that makes me embarrassed to read the book, or even be a part of the human race. What the fuck is wrong with people?
-

Dressing up in costume to celebrate a book they've been anticipating is worthy of this kind of vitriol?
-

what are you babbling about? also, why can't i throw charges of hypocrisy around? next, you'll be saying that fat people can't call other people fat, which will logically lead into you arguing that black people can't call each other "n*ggers"! wtf.
-
I'm just saying, if a behavior is silly, there's no Get Out Of Jail Free card based on your manifestly superior tastes. That's all!

Did that hit a little too close to home Corny? Have you been LARPing lately or something? YES LET'S CELEBRATE THE BOOK IT'S SO GREAT MY WHOLE LIFE IS BRIGHTENED BY IT'S ARRIVAL. For fucks sake. It was a good book, but not the next coming of Christ. It would be a lot less disconcerting if they were able to exhibit their happiness in more normal ways.
-
I read the first 4 books because they were the only English books in the school Library in Japan. The first two are very childish and after that they get to be pretty good. I dont really have anydesire to read the last book though.
-

No way, chogglepants. You don't escape that easily.
-
lol internet

I've never even read a Harry Potter book.

Why does a bunch of strangers dressing goofy whip you into such a frenzy? Sounds like you're the one with the problem, duder.
They ain't doin' it on your lawn so why should you care?

:-*

corny you should really see a doctor about your acute ginger-vitis

sure, if y'all will stop picking on nerds that are lower on the totem pole to make yourselves feel better
one thing i've come to realize over the years is that it does me more good to be unabashed about the things I like rather than hiding it, being too scared to admit what a nerd I am. If people think I'm weird because of the things I enjoy then fuck 'em, why spend the energy to try and convert them?
-
Does this mean you are finally coming out, boo?

Dude, you act like I got in my car, drove to London, and ran them all over. I'm just saying it's embarrassing to see people acting so fanatical over a book. Kids probably get enough shit for reading as it is, and people like this are not going to help. Just giving more ammo to the knuckle dragging dickheads. "Lulz i saw dem freaks on the news you are a cigarillo for reading that book." Is it really that hard to understand?
-

'cuz you'd like to have a social advantage from time to time?
-
if I am going to be unabashed about what a nerd I am, then by god I am going to be unabashed about what a nerd YOU are, too
that's my take on it: no regrets, but no mercy

I guess it is. I'm not embarrassed in the slightest about it. The knuckledragging dickheads will be that way regardless, so fuck it, I say: let your freak flag fly.
'cuz you'd like to have a social advantage from time to time?
I'm 34, I give a fuck about social advantage.
if I am going to be unabashed about what a nerd I am, then by god I am going to be unabashed about what a nerd YOU are, too
No argument from me, pally. So when we going to meet up and go to The Grove?
-
as i get older, the more i like to have a certain level of social advantage -- it makes the frequent snap judgments that are part of the ol' day-to-day business acumen operate in my favor and all. i cared less about being perceived as a nerd as a college kid; now, i want the folks i conduct business with to go "there's a serious duder with serious plans; he totally doesn't seem like a nasty homojapual or potter phag"
-
now, i want the folks i conduct business with to go "there's a serious duder with serious plans; he totally doesn't seem like a nasty homojapual or potter phag"
i'm more of "unless i'm up for a raise, i could give a fuck what you think about me" type of guy, myself
although i can't front like i don't get nerves around women i likes
-
now, i want the folks i conduct business with to go "there's a serious duder with serious plans; he totally doesn't seem like a nasty homojapual or potter phag"
I work at a game company so same principle if opposite conclusions
-
If you're climbing the corporate ladder, it would definitely help to present yourself as a grown-up guy who keeps his hobbies in perspective and his passions in check. Hell, that probably applies to almost all social networking in general, and actually being that person is probably a good goal.
But there's a point where constantly keeping a lid on revealing what really entertains or excites you is a pain.
Plus, Drinky's on the slippery slope of conformity that ends with him being a die-hard college football fan within three years. :shh

Getting it tonight

I have my own quirks, but none of them paint me as an irresponsible mess at the mercy of primal desires.
