I used to goalhang in PE lessons because I could be hosed to actually play football (soccer for you yanks).... I ended up with a higher goal count than the top 3 "jock" kids rolled into one somehow. gently caress the offside rule...

Last week I had a dream that a Banshee from Mass Effect strapped me to a table and was going to experiment on me. I decided to try to seduce it to survive but woke up.

I can't get myself to throw my Wu Wear out... Usually people around my town just think of it as urban clothing but to a raphead it is truly the most generic shameful poo poo. A girl that mutually liked me back in highschool contacted me a few years ago and came out to party with me. I figured I was getting laid but being young and drug spergy I took some xanax from my buddy knowing it would do me in badly. Sure enough, just about the most awkward sloppy performance of all time. Thankfully I can't remember much because of the xanax but I still remember the general terribleness and feelings of a sinking ship I just can't fix with every thrust. edit: in case i wasnt clear to non-drug users xanax didn't affect my ability in bed so much as my ability to be even remotely be human I was just straight up licking the side of her face for minutes during foreplay because I was so uncoordinated and out of this world. This basically ruined my friendship with this girl to this day and god drat I feel so bad for her I want to apologize but years later it seems even more strange to do that.

My teenage years are a confused haze of internet forums, Final Fantasy, D&D, trading card games, single-player Diablo II (dial-up, couldn't play online) and RPG Maker. On the upside, I'd learned how to do some quite neat things on RPG Maker. Even went so far as to start working on an action game, which involved killing zombies (back in 2004, that is, way before people couldn't stop blabbering about zombies like they do now). The player's weapon options were knife, pistol, shotgun, rifle, rocket launcher and grenades, and your ammo was displayed in the bottom of the screen. It was a huge mess to make it work, but it was fairly fun. Laziness and a lovely computer prevented me from getting far enough on developing that one, though. As for my lowest point, I'd say Pokemon easily takes that spot. I played it from my sixth to... I can't remember right now, seventh, eighth grade? We only played it in school (I was new in town, so school time was all the socializing I could do), and it made it easy for any other kids passing by to bully us by shuffling, hiding or tossing the cards around... or just mock us in general, because it was, well, Pokemon. And I was so addicted to the thing that I started creating my own cards. Not like actual cards, just notes scribbled on a notebook with each monster's name, HP, attacks, energy costs, etc, because I was genuinely upset that water-ice, ghost-psychic and fighter-rock-ground were all reduced to the same elements  . It was even worse before the card game came around, because we had pretend battles with invisible Pokemon at school during breaks, complete with imagining what kind of Pokemon you could find in each part of the school grounds.Later on, the Pokemon fad passed. Then I promptly got into MtG, and, because it's a much bigger and more complex game, it took a long while to overcome that addiction, but I'm clean now. I also lost the D&D habit, but not before starting to work on my own sort of pen and paper RPGs. By then, I was 17 and a freshman in college and planned on making a pen and paper RPG based in Greek mythology, after reading the Illiad and the Odyssey, with players being able to be straight-out fighters, Circe-style sorcerors or priests who could invoke magic from the gods (or some mix of all three). I still consider going back to it some times, though. I also had an online girlfriend at one time, but I don't feel like talking about it.

I used to not only come up with custom races for Master of Orion II all the time, but I also gave them a complete cultural background, history and language. I have no idea how many hours I've sunk into plotting intricate lore for my aliens and pretended they all actually mattered. I've been to both fantasy and Star Trek LARP. In elementary I tried to impress my fellow classmates with the fact that I knew all current Guinness World Records by heart. It was actually true, to boot. I was a very nerdy teenager. Now I'm an almost as nerdy adult. Works for me.

During late elementary-early middle school was the time that the Neopets fad began dying down in my friend group, and yet somehow I ended up getting heavily involved in the rp forums and spent many hours a day roleplaying my dark and edgy vampire saiyan hybrid. At one point I wrote a 20 page tale of his backstory to display on my profile, and I attempted to show this off to the first girl I ever had a crush on the one time I convinced her to come over to my house. She never came over again after that. I also once made a 15 minute RPG Maker game for a middle school presentation. Davos fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Jun 20, 2013 |

Had one just the other day: a lady wearing a Skyrim t-shirt walked up to my counter while I was working, so I compliment and start rambling about Skyrim. Then she tells me her husband used to manage a Gamestop and she just got video game t-shirts for free from him. So most likely she just threw this shirt on before she went out that day and had no loving clue what I was talking about beyond the fact that Skyrim is a video game. That poor lady.

I'm guessing if she's married to a guy who ran a Gamestop for years and apparently wear a lot of freebie video game t-shirts, that probably wasn't the first time something like that has happened. And I did at least have enough sense to shut up about it once I put it all together and moved on to some other (not so nerdy) subject. Still kind of embarrassing though.

I'm the president of a computer club at a state college in California. I was tabling this morning because it's club week and a really tanned, stoned, hippy comes up to me and the conversation goes like this. "What's your club about?" "Software engineering and networking. It's cool! Computers are rad!" "Ah, yeah, I agree. I'm just learning how to type myself." "Type?" "Yeah! All the keys on the keyboard are all out of order! It's hella hard to find them!" " "

If I order pizza for myself and noone else is home in the apartment I turn on some extra lights in the other rooms and maybe some music so it seems like I'm not buying pizza for myself. I then eat in shame. Edit: to clarify, I do that poo poo when the delivery driver comes to the door. Then I turn off all that stuff.

I said "Toriori, here is your chance to make your first uni friend!" So I go up and compliment the back pack, and start talking about Zelda when she goes "oh, I had no idea that's what the symbol was, it was just for my dorms floor last year" and walked away.

I have decided to stop playing Victoria and similar games because I've realized I am obsessed with pretty borders and will play for hours to get them. Oh, and I loved playing 7.62 (a pretty buggy Russian game, jagged alliance/x-com hybrid) and my favorite thing was watching groups of NPCs fight each other from a vantage point, dressed in a gillie suit and with a sniper rifle. THen I'd aim a shot at every NPC's right arm, and laugh as they would miss ever shot, drag the fight for ages and end up punching each other. God I should just quit videogames. In my defence, I've never played a mmorpg.

As a kid I made my own card games because we were too poor to get real cards. Years later I would learn I accidentally made a really basic version of Magic the Gathering. Still a kid, I played some weird lego RPG deal with my sisters that sort of combined megaman elements into it. That's just pretty nerdy, but what makes it spergy we would have to then play pretty pretty princess. I basically coerced my sisters to play homebrew lego megaman with me in exchange for me playing pretty pretty princess with them. I did a report in high school on internet memes. Also about Scientology how was basically the devil or some such. In one report. And it was still not the nerdiest presentation in that class, thank god. I turned down a girl asking me out to senior prom to do, well, nothing besides just generally browse the internet. She was kind of cute, but shy. The amount of courage she had to work up to do that in front of other people must have been insane. And I just instantly shot her down because I thought she was kidding and couldn't think of a response when it became evident she wasn't. To this day it still makes me feel like the biggest rear end in a top hat, goddamn. After moving in 5th grade I didn't even kiss a girl until after high school. I actually wasn't even that bad about keeping my nerdiness in check around others, I was just really introverted. What a loving loser I was. Not that I got much better until fairly recently. My freshman year of college a girl in my polisci class always flirted with me pretty hard. It wasn't until she told me this at a party she invited (read: forced) me to go to that I was aware of this. Of course this was finals week and I dropped out to work and never saw her again after we hosed there. A girl took me to a party with the express purpose of sleeping with me, did that, and I just decided to never follow up on it. OH WELL, I GUESS  I ~biweekly casually play magic the gathering with close friends and play D&D monthly with the a seperate group from the MtG people but the same people every month. I'm still a pretty big loser. I am literally as I type this listening to "Heaven" from the persona 4 soundtrack. The rest of the soundtrack is on this playlist however. I need to start remembering peoples names so I can apologize to them, holy poo poo. Edit: OH, and I played Furcadia before I was really aware what it was. As far as I knew it was basically a neat interactive chatroom where you could code your own little games, and that's pretty rad! I stopped playing the first time someone tried to cyber with me, so I'm only oblivious about 95% of the time. Xythe fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Sep 17, 2013 |
