WOW NERDZ

[Phoenix Dark]

Just got back from Showcase Cinemas, where I played WoW on the most powerful computer I've ever touched. They have a WoW night every week or so, and since I had a coupon I figured I'd check it out. But omg the NERDS

I arrived there rather late, figuring no one would be playing on a friday night; boy was I wrong. Upon entering the room my nose was assaulted by the worse whiffs of must - ever. Remember the very back of your highschool/college computer lab, where all the overweight duders sat? Now imagine that smell in an entire movie theater. I had brought some popcorn but could barely eat it.

Once I sit down I notice a couple dudes staring at me. Eventually they walked up and sat on both sides of my chair.

Nerd #1: You're a warrior aren't you?
Me: Uh, excuse me?
Nerd #1: A warrior, you know, in the World of Warcraft
Me: Yeah...
Nerd #1: I told you Robert, black guys are ALWAYS warriors

 

Luckily they didn't have any characters on my server, but that didn't stop them from watching my every move, marveling at how "huge" my hands were, etc. My hands are not even big wtf. To make matters worse there was this chick who was watching everyone, making sure they didn't steal shit I guess. Everytime she walked by the dude to my left kept saying "hello, goodbye". I didn't want to get out my seat and move because that would have been too overt, so I just pulled out my iPod and drowned them out. Drinky saved me, for a time.

I only planned to stay for half an hour, but I wound up in a group for Hellfire Ramparts - and did the whole damn thing. This was easily the most epic thing I've ever done in WoW. We wiped more than a few times, and lost many group members along the way, but I walked out with three badass items

But while I was playing these two dudes kept buggering me. They seemed to have enough god damn sense to leave me alone while I was in a battle, but during a few mana/health breaks one would touch my shoulder. I'd turn down the iPod and he'd say something like "are you going to be here on Halloween?" I like help and discussion, but leave me alone while I'm playing gamez. Eventually I just had to say dude, leave me alone.

When I left the place afterwards one of the dudes followed me all the way outside, and finally asked if I liked LOTR. Even my love of LOTR couldn't get me in a good mood for this ass.

Nerd #2: So...do you like stuff like LOTR?
Me: I'm leaving, uh nice seeing you
Nerd #2: Awww, wait, DO YOU?
Me: Yes, I like it alot. Bye
Nerd #2: .....me too

So you're going to do this regularly, right?

He's black, so he MUST be a warrior

[MrAngryFace]

For 39 levels, I was a black man.

you may want to rethink this choice of words

[ToxicAdam]

I've never met a Jew that plays a priest.


Just sayin ..

Of course not. Although I must say, playing the game at like 50+ fps was amazing. I saw things I've never seen before. Sadly, I smelled things I've never smelled before too

Meh, you don't even need a really beefy PC to play WoW at 60 fps. WoW is about as optimized as you can get. Although for some reason the last 2 patches gimped geforce 880x owners.

Not as gimped as your mom was when she had you.

You don't even have a mom. So I LOL at you.

[Smooth Groove]

Synbios's mom was a very kind woman.  If she hadn't endured Synbios' childbirth, he would never have known what it feels like to be in a vagina.

for a moment there i thought ichirou was talking to himself.

Funny, yesterday your mom said her biggest regret was that you came out of her body.

[Ichirou]

Dude, you're Synbios.  Nothing you can say will make me feel bad.  You're SYNBIOS.

How do you play WoW in a movie theater?

They have this gaming area with 360s, PS3s, and even a Wii lol. Once a week they hold this WoW thing where you can play on a bunch of computers

[FlameOfCallandor]

Sounds pretty homo. How much does it cost? Jeeze i couldn't imagine doing that if only for the awkward stares all the regular movies goers would give.
