Meeting Borians In Real Life: A Cool Story Bro [UPDATE 8: STL Bore Meets BrandN]

[Shaka Khan]

Finally met someone from one of these gaming (related) forums, and he didn't turn out to be a serial rapist nor a mouth-breathing pedo. It was Positive Touch and his fiancee, we met last night at a martini lounge and we were later joined by two of their friends. Just like any other great night, it started out with cultural and social discussions and ended up with circumcision and penis sizes debates.

And let me tell you people: Wow! those two will have seriously gorgeous looking babies. I was thinking about posting a picture we took, but then I remembered how most of you are ugly and I didn't want to make anyone feel bad or insecure.

I had a great time. Not bad Bore, not bad.

[drew]

see i would have met you guys if the locale was a swanky martini lounge and not an Arby's invite

mfw Toledo has no martini lounges

[Shaka Khan]

Hey babe, long time no see.

[drew]

ain't that the truth

[Steve Youngblood]

Well, this is disappointing. This thread seems perfectly safe for work.

You wouldn't go anyway. Wussssssssss

[Robo]

Don't lie.  Was it awkward when you left in the morning?

[Mr. Gundam]

I would love to meet that vast majority of you folks. I'm pretty sure most of you would like me in person more.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, any time one of you jokers land in Portland, give me a holla. Even though I don't smoke anymore, I can always hook it up~~ ^_^

We're going to Bend this weekend, but not really stopping in Portland.

[Himu]

You people with spouses/fiancees do you TELL them that hey, you're meeting this person you have NEVER MET BEFORE IRL but chat on the internet with before dragging them along?

[Human Snorenado]

I've met Lyte Edge and Frag.  I think that's it.  Then again, I talk to 3-4 Boreans on a podcast like once a month, so I guess that almost counts.

And Shaka- don't lie, you're kinda let down that you weren't molested.

[Mr. Gundam]

You people with spouses/fiancees do you TELL them that hey, you're meeting this person you have NEVER MET BEFORE IRL but chat on the internet with before dragging them along?

Yep, I told that to my wife before we met up with DCharlie, Cormac and Ch1n in Tokyo. She was fine with it.

She also briefly met Prole one day.

[Shaka Khan]

Don't lie.  Was it awkward when you left in the morning?

I wish I was invited for coffee, Robo. I wish.

And Shaka- don't lie, you're kinda let down that you weren't molested.

It's true. I cried myself to sleep listening to Lionel's Hello last night.

[Positive Touch]

shaka

he's even cooler than i imagined he'd be.  last nite was tons of fun, and i'm really glad i finally met someone off the forum.  wasn't worried because pretty much everyone on here is straight-up about their personalities and doesn't come off as a fucking weirdo. we barley talked games, but it's nice to meet someone that's got similar interests as you because i barely know anyone that's as nerdy as me.  we gotta meet up again soon!  hell, in a couple months we'll prolly be able to drag lennedsay out too!

you can post the pic too; i dont mind

You people with spouses/fiancees do you TELL them that hey, you're meeting this person you have NEVER MET BEFORE IRL but chat on the internet with before dragging them along?

yeah, she sees me on here all the time, and i told her about shaka before we met up, of course, because that's what i always do when having her meet someone new.  she wasn't worried because she trusts my judgement.  and hey, she's just as excited as me to hang out again!

[Steve Youngblood]

You're in St. Louis, right Positive Touch? Where did you guys go? Obviously, I inquire so that I can hang out there all the time should you guys ever return.

[Barry Egan]

I didn't realize Jin was state-side, or that Positve Touch has kids!  If you guys were east coast I'd totally hang  :'(

[Steve Youngblood]

I don't think he said they had kids. He said they will have beautiful kids.

[Tasty]

Sho nuff's a pretty cool guy IRL. Didn't try to shank or rape me or anything.

[Positive Touch]

ah that's right! i always forget you're around here too.  we went up to absolutli goosed and had ourselves some fine martinis.  i'll try n pm you soon so we can meet up too!

Never been there. Have heard of it, but never gone. Nice place?

And I wasn't really fishing for an invite, as I probably wouldn't go anyway, but the thought certainly wouldn't be looked down on! I say I probably wouldn't go not because I think you guys would be lame company, but because I am lame. Ever since the kid was born, I don't get out much.

And, let's face it, you guys are probably lame.

[tiesto]

Any of you folks in the Baltimore area? If so, I will be hosting a panel on Dragon Quest there so if you go, make sure to say hello!

[Robo]

I'm not too far out of B-more.  Where?  When?

[CajoleJuice]

tiesto is a cool dude, but Dragon Quest 

[Tasty]

I'll do anything to get some insider info.

[tiesto]

Otakon goes on from July 27-29, but I won't know the exact date/time of my panel till a few weeks beforehand.

tiesto is a cool dude, but Dragon Quest 

 

There will be prizes at my panel... and with any luck I might be DJing the rave too. It's a pretty good gig, you get to use some awesome equipment and play anything you want.

Oh, it's at Otakon?  I may very well be there on whatever day they're holding the Street Fighter 4 tournament, assuming there is one.  Certain to be in the area nonetheless.

I tried keeping video game talk and inside jokes to a minimum considering we had company, but we can totally do this again and nerd it out, breh. Here's the best pic we took...

No one is radioactive IRL, and everyone is twice as attractive. 3GS camera, smh.

I had no idea you're in STL as well.

[Brehvolution]

Looks like a blast.

Jealous.

Shaka, how are you enjoying yourself over hear?

[Broseidon]

Nice clothes 

[Positive Touch]

  why am i making the zellweger face

[Broseidon]

[Cormacaroni]

[Phoenix Dark]

You're the only one not wearing a purse and still look the most girly

are you full of drink?!

[lennedsay]

I'm so jealous!! Look how cute you kids are!

[recursivelyenumerable]

I grew up in St. Louis and my parents are there, maybe I can meet up with STL-Bore next time I stay with them.

[Shaka Khan]

He definitely was at that point.

I'm just waiting for you to pop.

Pop safely.

[TEEEPO]

I'm not too far out of B-more.  Where?  When?

Otakon goes on from July 27-29, but I won't know the exact date/time of my panel till a few weeks beforehand.

I've driven up to Baltimore in the past during Otakon, usually at night ignoring the entire convention and just crashing hotel parties, situating myself in very bizarre and uncomfortable environments for the lolz.

I'll be down.

[TEEEPO]

i used to see Eric P at a lot the indie concerts in the bmore/dc area but was always too much of a puss to introduce myself 

and apparently Robo and me frequent alot of the same shows aswell but I have yet to spot him

[Positive Touch]

DO IT

[Shadow Mod]

I gotta figure out what part of Portland Spence is in so I can creep there.

[Great Rumbler]

Shouldn't this be a "Cool Bro Story"?

[Robo]

If you still got that crazy beard, I don't know how I haven't spotted you yet, otherwise I'd have introduced myself as awkwardly as possible.

[Eric P]

and then vanished as quickly as possible

[chronovore]

I want to meet the Khan!

I've known IRL Sho Nuff, Cormacaroni, and Dcharlie (and Mrs. XFE) prior to joining here. I think I met Groo/JonnyRAM once at a thing in Tokyo.

It's my goal to "meat" the NoCal Bore, but it hasn't seemed to manifest yet. I'll broadcast more, next time I'm running off to a convention/faire, so the frightened, vacillating Boritos will know they can meet me and I won't toss them in a rape dumpster. 

[Cormacaroni]

They've seen your vamp teeth, man...I dunno

[Tasty]

Anyone who comes to Boston is guaranteed a meal at fancy restaurant with me. 

[recursivelyenumerable]

I used to hang out at rontoms, or at least I had friends who did - I was never really cool enough for that place  :'(

[Tasty]

Fuck ya dude, let's hit up Olive Garden

The one nearby is absolute crap.

[Shaka Khan]

They've seen your vamp teeth, man...I dunno

I love his fangs  man, I just love'em.

[Tasty]

Guess we'll just have to get some boston cream pies

That's my favorite donut.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Shaka if we meet can we skip the social talk and cut straight to penis talk?

[recursivelyenumerable]

Actually social is a hot topic in the penis industry these days, they're not necessarily mutually exclusive.

[Shadow Mod]

I gotta figure out what part of Portland Spence is in so I can creep there.

SE. Last night I went to Rontoms and East Burn. I frequent dive karaoke places as well. I go downtown sometimes, but I'm just an Eastside kind of guy. There's so many awesome places to go.

The bar in east burn's basement has skeeball for only 25c

Cool I'm in NE right now.

[recursivelyenumerable]

I used to live in NW and still stay there when I visit, we just need someone from SW (and NoPo?) for a complete set

[Bloodwake]

You guys are from STL? I'm in Springfield, IL, which is like an hour and a half away. Maybe I could meet up with you guys at some point.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Do you miss KY or do you go back there every once in a while?

OH MY GOD yessss all these midwest boreans we're gonna party so hard!  now that summer's here we gotta find a weekend where we're all free and meet up!!
