there's videogame nerds, and then there's WHAT THE FUCK

[Van Cruncheon]

first off, yes, i am a 33 year old man who drove into town to pick up pokemon during my errands today. i am a big ol' fuckin' nerd. a huge fuckin' dweeb. i took the train to loserville only to discover it was population me. we're clear on that point, right?

that said, i am but a blip on the radar of the folks that were there to pick up POKEYMANS LET ME SHOW YOU THEM DONKEY PUNCH EDITION. kids were there, of course; it's a stupid kiddy game. however, there was a pair of tools -- one older than me -- who were also there. the younger of the two proudly announced that he "skipped church, because the only thing that means more to me than god is a new pokeymon release!" hnarf hnarf hnarf he laughed. ugh. the older of the two had a pokeyball backpack, which clashed with his greying hair and his stone temple pilots concert tee. they both bought pokeyman diamond, because "pearl is gay and for girls". yeah, a 40 year old man who still thinks girls have cooties. this is the stuff ninthings are born of, folks.

jesus. i should've just left. but as i said, i too am a fucking loser and i had prepaid for -- yes -- pearl edition. what! i figured everyone would get diamond on account of it being for gays and girls!

these two paled next to the clerk, who was dressed as the ash character. his coworker, a nice if sometimes overly enthusiastic long-haired fellow who acts as store manager, seemed utterly humiliated in his presence. ash busted out the pokeyman rap in front of a couple kids, who looked a little weirded out, and then he took their mom's cc, did this little pirouette, and swiped the card while making a BOOM! noise.

"hey doug" said the acting manager unenthustiastically. yes, he knows my name. again, it's no news to anyone if you point out that i am a big ol' nerdlinger. WANT MY FRIEND CODE?!?!?! yelled ash. "no" i said. TOO BAD, WE COULD TRADE ALL THE STARTERS?!?!?!?!?! he barked. PICK CHIMCHAR?!?!?!?!?! he followed up. "what's a chimchar" i asked and immediately regretted it. sometimes a 'no small talk' rule would save me 5 minutes of my eyes glazing over while a strong sense that there is nothing in the world worth living for drains my soul.

"okay" said longhair finally. "shut up, [ash]." WHAT?!?!?! said ash mcpimple. I BOUGHT YOU A MUFFIN?!?!?!?! (wtf). I'M NEVER BUYING YOU A MUFFIN AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!

"i gotta go get a hair cut and mow my lawn" i said, backing away. "good luck" said longhair mournfully, "it's supposed to rain." REMEMBER, PICK CHIMCHAR IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THE SECOND GYM A BREEZE?!?!?!?!?! yelled ash.

i ran!

[demi]

Hell yeah, you got Pearl. Trade me, dude.

[Van Cruncheon]

i don't like your kind any more!

[Vizzys]

[demi]

i don't like your kind any more!

I'm a rather simple videogame nerd. I simply wish to engage in pokemon trading with a like-minded 33-year-old such as yourself.

Let's do pokelunch.

[Van Cruncheon]

[MrAngryFace]

[Mr. Gundam]

I know my blind devotion to all things Gundam makes me just as sad... but damn, some people really need to grow up.

[Van Cruncheon]

i'd settle for just a little sense of shame!

[Fragamemnon]

Insane thread.

Drinky, we've been over "those kind' of adult Nintendo fans in previous threads. Scary bunch indeed, though if I lived in Seattle I'd love to get a lawnchair and a six pack of Fat Tire and watch the Bellvue LOTR Online launch, consisting of Tolkien geeks and unbathed WoW burnouts/washouts. That might be even scarier than the ridiculous experience you described.

I got the F.E.A.R. Gold Edition (never played the original) on sale for $28 at CC while running my morning errands. A bit of madness there in the morning, apparently they had Wii units in that morning as well along with the on-sale Pokemon games. Still was able to get my top-tier gaming platform software and get out the door without having some distinguished mentally-challenged Nintendthing make a snide comment about PC gaming.

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah, she's real... REALLY A LAMP SHADE NOW U SICK FUK

That midnight launch is tonite, I think.  I'd be up for going if I didn't have work tomorrow.

[The Fake Shemp]

I was lucky.  I start at GameStop tomorrow, a full day after the Pokemon craze.  I'm sure it'll be busy, because the day following a big release is always busy due to the stragglers, but - hey, it'll make me react better in the long run, I guess.

[G The Resurrected]

I pray for your soul Willco.

[Vizzys]

:hippolol

[TVC15]

I'm going to paint a new picture of Roxy.

I'm learning how to open tomorrow.

[Candyflip]

That got a little weird towards the middle.

This thread is awesome.

[Human Snorenado]

People who play pokemon are going to be among the first up against the wall when the Revolution comes.

[Christopher]

just a BIT too old for Pokemon Drinky? you can't offset that your own shame with that man's - but at least you had a daughter to fall back on, that just sounds sorta creppy.

I stopped when I was 15 around G/S - just lost interest.

[Van Cruncheon]

:'(

[TVC15]

Christopher, every time I see your avatar I think the old me is posting from the past.

I got a DS today, Pokemon Diamond, Phoenix Wright 2, and the Mana game.

I haven't played a Pokemon game since the original, back when I was in high school.

[Van Cruncheon]

GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!

i caught a cat-thing and a beaver, i am a pokemon master

[Himu]

The only pokemon I've played was Blue and that was when I was in 7th grade.

[Christopher]

I missed your old avaitar

On OA Wobe also got Pokemon and Red Cloak ok now I can see why Nintendo is afraid of the pedo's with all the oldies playing them :p, but whatever it's all good

How big was your penis at the time?

I missed your old avaitar

I wanted to try something new, so I went with the cover of Brian Eno's Before and After Science.  I might not keep it very long because I just remembered Nick used to use this.  I think.

[Himu]

I was a late bloomer. I don't recall getting pubes until 8th grade.

OMG the Snitx is dope as fuck looking. And it has Intimidate, which lowers the attack of the opponent. A good choice for a starting pokemon.

[Prost]

you're right, there are videogame nerds and then there's WHAT THE FUCK, I guess it's just a matter of opinion where you draw the line.............................................

Living very close to Digipen, we have to deal with the Ubernerds rather frequently. 

[Tauntaun]

Willco I have to work tonight at Gamestop.  I only work two nights a week so it doesn't get to me.  Yeah, I've seen some things though, I used to work in an EB Games in a very busy mall and the people that come in, wow.  One time my wife and I were at the mall and were down by the OTHER EB Games (yeah there were 2 in 1 mall, go figure) and this was Madden day.  That place was reaking of BO, it was so nasty.  And for Madden!  It's not even that good of a game.  Whatev, learn to bathe.





So now Willco, this makes us job buddies or something YAY!  Let's be Gamestop BFF's.    HAHA, see that's mario, that's a video game character from our young days, REMEMBER?!?!? HAHA!  *inches closer to you with wet hands*     

[Flannel Boy]

I've never played a single Pokemon game. 

[MrAngryFace]

I play about 10 hours into every pokemon game to maybe the 3rd or 4th gym, where almost every pokemon game ive played has left me completely clueless as to where I am supposed to go next. The result is about 2 hours of wandering around getting encounters with low level time wasting pokemon and eventually dropping the game and never completing it.

You need to get Diamond just to assault people with the mic, preferably with a bottle of scotch in your hand

[MrAngryFace]

Im getting diamond today, I had it pre-ordered. Pokemon games arent the best in the world but I feel compelled to get each new installment all the same.

[demi]

It just hooks you, like Bullet Witch before.

[MrAngryFace]

I like bullet witch, but its not like my like for say Tech Romancer. Bullet Witch honestly does more right than EDF but people love the hell out of EDF so go figure.

[TVC15]

I got Diamond, too.  Phoenix Wright 2 is awesome.

[Phoenix Dark]

I had a slightly different experience. Went into the local Gamestop to pick up teh Pokamons and noticed there were like 3 big black guys in there already - all of which wound up being convinced to preorder the next Madden lol. So finally I go up to the clerks and ask if they have Pokemon. All of a sudden the black guys are looking at me like wtf is your problem boy. :'(

btw they didn't have any copies in. I have to go tomorrow

[demi]

lmao

[Van Cruncheon]

what was a white kid doing in a ghetto gamestop? they don't sell pokeymans there; shoulda tried preordering and1 streetball 2 like yer supposed to
