Based on this E/N thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3499746. American goon had a long-distance Japanese fiancee and they couldn't decide where to live. At some point it came up that she didn't want to leave Japan because she was "paranormally attuned" to the ghosts there.

My favorite thread.

When did 'I'm the X' become a running thing?

Example:



Code Jockey posted:

I'm the solitary shrimp that escaped the aspic

I'm also the plastic aquarium plants used to decorate said aspic

Example:



In GBS people would post articles or photos about weird poo poo, and one of the posts on the first page would usually be "I'm the guy in the OP." Eventually it started happening in every thread, and it got annoying, so the mods banned the phrase, but it stayed alive in places like FYAD, YOSPOS and PHIZ. Eventually it got more involved, with people posting poo poo like "I'm the broken sword hilt in the background" or "I'm the vague atmosphere of contempt" and it got kind of funny again.

How many game (much less LP) specific smilies actually found any use, anyways? I guess :ocelot: is occasionally appropriate, and :smaug: gets a bit of generic fantasy play, but otherwise?

How is it related to Dangan Ronpa? It's just a combination of :allears: and :swoon: afaik.

Here are some that are useful in basically no context:

:sterv: is a khajit from Oblivion, named after the character from a Let's Play of that game.

:human being: is Jecht from Final Fantasy 10, I don't know why the emoticon code is 'human being'.

:cedric: is that piece of poo poo owl from King's Quest who only exists to annoy you and give unhelpful advice.

You could probably use :notch: in any situation regarding Notch because he's the D-student of the class of 'being a human being 101' but that's not so much a general all-purpose one.

People use :thurman: whenever there's a sick burn and they don't feel like using the ice burn one, and that's from some NES football game that I don't remember the name of.

One character named Syo has a really long tongue and red eyes, so "syoon" is more like :allears: + :swoon: + Syo! See? :syoon:

Oh, it's a tongue. I just thought it was supposed to be the next level up from :swoon:.

edit: Is the mouth on :swoon: actually a tongue too? Have I been misled by pixels this whole time??

Because Jecht is a huge smug rear end in a top hat, thinks little of his son and makes it very clear.

Whined that being unbelievably rich made him have vapid friends and he ended up with nobody to hang out with



then insulted his former team on twitter because he was mad that they didn't like him anymore after he sold the company (that's a mojang employee he's saying gently caress you to), even though they all still like him and he was just projecting.

Seems like a fairly honest reflection to me. Money absolutely can get in the way of sincere human interaction.
