Finally lol. I love em but jesus, he gets WAY to up and down about stuff. He paid $1000 for a Path Of Exile supporter pack...and then only played for a couple days when the open beta started. I just don't understand his behavior.

Did you see that Eurogamer article about him when D3 came out?

[Lan]

$1000? for a game? 

I gotta echo this sentiment.

(Image removed from quote.)

$1000? for a game? 

Yup. It's a free-to-play game published by an independent developer, so they've asked for funding from fans; the least you can give is $10, most is $1000; you get various perks depending on how much you give, so if you give $1000 you get to design an item that appears in the game.

It's a great game and I plan on giving some money, but a grand? That's stupidity imo

I see. Still 1000 bucks. Doesn't this guy also complain about not getting out much and with the opposite sex?

eh he prolly owns a Yoshi fleshlight. Can't sex real Yoshi's afterall.

[Shadow Mod]

He's had articles written about him due to his gaming obsession? Oh dear. 

[Joe Molotov]

Truly an hero.

[Lan]

 

oh well. what can you do?

Just a blurb really: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-05-15-someone-has-finished-diablo-3-already

It's strange how he's become a secondary spectacle to the games he plays. I think it was Dark Souls where he broke (lacerated?) his finger out of frustration or some such. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=42206137&postcount=137

Shaka is on his period I think 

[Shaka Khan]

You guys caught me. I was trying my best to imitate Lan by scaling down my world view to that of a 15 year old.

[Shaka Khan]

I don't know why I'm being rather nasty really, maybe I am on my period.

[Lan]

maybe?

weirder things have happened.

[Lan]

Borderlands
Ate the cover and broke the disc in two

Must be an interesting life to live

[benjipwns]

He needed to consume its essence to obtain its power. Duh.

Favorite one is him punching himself in the mouth.

Did he play he beat it in straight hours? I just can't fathom doing that, ever. Hell doing a game for more than a couple is like "lol I gotta eat, shit, do laundry, go run some errands, do hw, etc, I need to stop playing this."

[Trent Dole]

That is ...really unhealthy. Also are we all supposed to use Lan's avatar now or something?

Yoshi is actually a pretty regular looking guy, in fact he looks handsome (pause). He's posted pics of him partying with nice looking chicks (forgot what European country he's from).

Yet at the same time he is manically obsessed with videogame binges, plus his love for a male StarCraft 2 professional player borders on the insane 

I really can not take Yoshi seriously after him buying a $150 arcade stick, using it for a day and then throwing it away. Then buying another one like three or so months later. Oy.

[Momo]

smfh at people laughing at a dude paying $1000 for a game, you fuckers buy just as much worthless crap at obscene prices from others perspective.

No I don't.

[Kabouter]

people in developing countries would probably be pretty aghast at what we spend on a coffee

yes I am saying compared to yoshichan we are ethiopians

They're probably really happy with what Westerners spend on coffee given the dependence of the Ethiopian economy on coffee exports .

[Cerveza mas fina]

I remember yoshichan from the d3 thread on gaf, I thought it was just D3 he was so crazy about and thought he was ok.

On which game did he drop a grand on kickstarter?

[Positive Touch]

looking at that list of shit he destroyed the guy is clearly a rich spoiled brat

OP, Opiate told you that your girlfriend is an unsympathetic robot who is orders of magnitude not human enough for him to date. Think on that for a moment.

 

Edit: Anddddd GAF died.

[ToxicAdam]

Speaking of obsessive gaming, there is a person(xelios) in the puzzles and dragons thread that has spent at least 400 dollars on IAP for the game.

$400?  Casuals. 

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Crate keys are $2.50 each so he spent $1250 on that

[close]

I also remember reading about someone who bought every piece of content in League of Legends and was skirting near $3000 spent.

[Cerveza mas fina]

People is crazy

1000 on path of exile, I play that game for free

[etiolate]

yeah yoshichan isn't healthy

and then he has a bunch of admirers and fans for it


I think there was one poster in one of the d3 or WoW threads that said he should seek help and a bunch of posters turned on that poster for attacking their yoshichan.

[Squiddy]

Whatever, $1000 isn't even much for a working bachelor.
Poor people  :'(

You guys are no different from a bunch of ethiopian farmers getting salty about M'gumbe buying himself the latest iPhone while the rest of them are stuck with dumbphones.

[Joe Molotov]

I have some friends that have probably spent thousands of dollars on Maple Story. They also got personal Christmas cards from their WoW gold farmers one year.

[Momo]

You guys are either really poor or unable to apply perspective. Would I have spent $1000 on PoE? Fuck no I dont see the value in it, but I have spent way past the retail price for some games you cant get anymore. It's a value proposition, it was worth it to him. Applied on a smaller scale I wouldn't pay whatever the fuck it is you guys pay for starbucks, I buy beans grind them and drink better tasting coffee at a cheaper price. To laugh at someone who spent $x on thing y because he thought it was worth it?? To pass the comment "i wouldn't have done that" fair enough, to pretend it's some kind of mortal sin? get out of here. Keep on living in a world where only your perspective applies.

[etiolate]

If I had more money, I still wouldn't be a fucking idiot with it. I wouldn't donate $1000 to a game out of spite towards another game and then end up hardly playing the game I spent $1000 on.

[Momo]

And neither would I, I'd rather spend my money on hookers and blow, opportunity cost and all that.

[Purple Filth]

its not only Diablo 3 either since he did it a few times with Street Fighter 4.

plus he has this thing where he tells people to gift him steam games and he will play what they give him.   

looking at that list of shit he destroyed the guy is clearly a rich spoiled brat

he claimed that he had a good paying job until he was eventually let go so using that free time but i don't really believe it tbh

[Momo]

I forgot why I was originality annoyed, but it certainly wasn't for that as I laugh at that kinda thing all the time

I'm turning into Himu

yoshi is a solid poster. Or was, I don't know.  I want to say "well if that makes him happy then whatever", but dropping that kind of money on a video game is kind of stupid to me. It's a fucking game.

yoshi is swedish. he's not into that whole premarital sex thing (probably cuz religion) and manic as fuck about anything he's interested in. He led me to believe that he switched from following pro fighting games to starcraft because the Fighting game community is too uncouth. Back when he was into fighting games he posted a few videos of him trying to get good playing with an arcade stick he imported only a week later to trash it and post pictures. Also when Dark Souls came out he fucked up his thumb somehow but didn't seek the necessary medical attention until he had played through most of the game over the course of a couple of days. This was after a boat load of manic posts waiting for the mailman, complete with pictures n shit.

yoshi's great.

[Mr. Gundam]

Is there some internet joke I don't know about, or is it just people talking about Star Wars?

[Atramental]

It's just people talking about Star Wars.

[benjipwns]

They're arguing about the events in Star Wars (mostly Episode III) as if they were current political events/arguments.

Some of them are pretty decent work.

Was kinda that people weren't getting it but I suppose people might not pay enough attention to one or the other to get the jokes.

I pay attention to the news, I still didn't get the point of the entire thing other than having fun with Star Wars.

Oh, I'm sure everybody gets it. It's just that the joke is a little too obvious.

[benjipwns]

I generally assume that trying to understand the point of most things on the internet outside of "dumb fun/attention getting/someone IS WRONG/sex pursuits" will be a path of darkness, despair, depravity, disgust and depression.

That's why I investigate every poster here in great detail.

Star Wars 
2 good movies, 2 meh movies, 2 terrible movies, millions of insufferable fans. Even the "good" episodes feature simplistic plots, shallow characters, shitty dialog, and bad acting. If I were to give Lucas any credit, I'd say it's all a parody.

[Don Flamenco]

KOTOR is easily my favorite thing about that universe.   the star wars fan insanity proves that culture is just something we do to keep us from getting bored before we die.
