gently caress about and he always keeps bringing it up in the most unrelated ways while trying to make it sound super cool and interesting and in reality it's the lamest poo poo you've heard this year

"Yeah, I said this is some fresh news... Oh... fishing huh... yes, the news is fresh, much like the fish you caught last weekend. sounds very good, good comparison, friend"

I don't know how friends interact actually but let's make some poo poo up

You got drunk on a boat? That's a lot like how I bird-watch at 5am. We should try to combine them.

birdwatching is such a great hobby! for instance ive had my telescope pointed at the girl's dorm over there for the last week because there's been reports of a blue footed booby in the area

Awesome, is your BOX anywhere close to some geocaching hotspots? I'll bring my GPS and we'll cross some fits while we dig around an abandoned lot for a buried tube full of geocoins and plastic dinosaurs.

I work with a guy who does this phone app game called Ingress. Apparently you walk around while staring at your phone and it gives you points for finding buildings and crap.
He'll come up to me and say stuff like "I found 2 gems at a site downtown but then the blue team blocked our fence" and it takes me a minute to figure out what the hell he's talking about. He also brings it up out of nowhere in unrelated conversation, it's annoying

Is that one of those apps you can download when you visit a new city and in the game it will lead you to neat landmarks and points of interest you wouldn't otherwise have known about?

fishing
running
weights liftings
brewing beer

It's probably an ok game it's just he takes it a little far. He once drove around Texas a couple hundred miles just to "pick up" some kind of in game trinkets

I have a friend that just got into mtg. Apparently the game has been getting a lot more people since I played (back when I was much younger). What makes this even more annoying is he knows I was really good at the game (the group I played with at that time went to tournaments and such and pretty much lived and breathed the game for a bit) so not only do I get to hear is dumb stories relating to an "amazing match" he played but he constantly asks me for advice and rules questions and such.

They usually consist of fifteen minutes of the other person telling me about the video game they are currently playing while I think about other poo poo, and nod. Not that I don't like video games, but hearing in depth play by plays about standard game play, and cut scenes in the game is the most boring poo poo ever.

At least he respects your opinion. The worst is when somebody tells you their new hobby is something that you got really into in the past but don't do very much anymore, and they're sitting there and telling you all this poo poo like you don't know but you don't want to stop or correct them because it will only encourage them.

"Oh, you saw a cool youtube video of a high school drum line at a talent show? That's neat. yeah I'll totally have to check it out sometime" *was consumed in a world of nothing but drum lines for like 15 years and is absolutely unimpressed by anything drum related anymore*

i used to play a ton of magic during unlimited, and 4th addition, then i tried using my old cheese decks against a friends new normal deck, like 2 years ago and the power creep of new cards is just silly. Also no more interupts WTH

i will take the bait, i played back when 40 card decks were legal, and the phases of a turn were different, and cards effects resolved in a different order. They changed it so that you need 60 cards min in a deck, and they made 3 mana cards as powerful as old 5-6 mana cards. Their goal was to make games play faster because young people have no patience to play a game anymore.
