    Why do you people insist on posting things I can't un-see?

    Also, how the fuck did that, of all things, get past the usual work image filter?

    "loltext" and all, but if you think for a moment I did anything but laugh you'd be sorely, sadly mistaken.

    The "wtf?" is more based on the fact that my work filter blocks like 90% of the images linked in any of these forums. To have ANYTHING (let alone that) show up is... odd.

    My nerdiest possession is actually a full sized Kingdom Hearts keyblade just like the one on the right in that picture. I got it from a friend one year, and my wife loves it (she's not that into games, but loves Disney and Kingdom Hearts).

    It's pretty heavy actually - could make a good home defense weapon :P

    i was in a gaming store a couple years back

    and there was some dudes at a table playing magic

    the one dude loses his fucking cool over something or another, and tries to flip the table in anger

    only, the way he was standing relative to the table somehow made it so that when he turned it on its side, the table legs tripped him and he fell flat on his ass

    meanwhile his opponent sat there, looking flabbergasted

    sorta takes a lot of the violent rage out of your furious table-turning when you fall on your ass like a stooge

    This is where someone should put the Nerd Hierarchy Flowchart. I'd do so, but most of them seem to be blocked here at work.

    My favourite is the one that has like 6 parallel paths, all of increasing nerdity, and then everyone is above Furries.

    Or was it Furry LARPers who write Fanfic?

    Something like that. It's on the first page of Google Image Search.

    The bottom-most entry in the chart is labeled: "People who write erotic versions of Star Trek where all the characters are furries, like Kirk and an ocelot or something, and they put a furry version of themselves as the star of the story."

    These people are located just above Furries on the chart, but the arrow between the groups are double-sided, indicating that Furries and replica-sword owners both consider themselves less nerdy than the other. It's funny because it's true.

    Background fluff for DnD can be downright awful sometimes. I was in a campaign where one player had pages of background info on their char, and it read like bad BESM fanfic. It also didn't help that the person in question was an alpha-level weeaboo, couldn't rp to save her life, and would come to game wearing her Kingdom Hearts LARP gear.

    I read that as Klingon Hearts LARP gear the first time and wondered what the fuck constitutes Klingon Hearts gear.

    I read it right the first time and I'm still confused as to what it means.

    It means this

    209818365_59f7e083ab.jpg

    Judging by the context I'm fairly certain they're cosplaying at a convention, not LARPing. And, as Sora cosplayers go, the kid on the right is pretty good.

    Kingdom Hearts LARP sounds moderately bizarre to me, though. I mean, is there a KH RPG of some sort to base it on? Those games rely pretty heavily on a) Disney characters and b) swarms of easily-defeated badguys. I do not and would not LARP but I can see the general attraction. LARPing as Donald Duck or one-hit grunt badguy #374, however, just seems weird to me.

    the most i have ever personally nerd raged at something that wasn't a person

    was snapping the fuck out over armored core

    i think it was armored core 2? not sure which one

    but i died for like the tenth fucking time on this one level and i let out a big ole "NNNRAAAAAAGH!" and squeezed my dual shock and it literally broke in half

    it is not the first time i have broken a controller out of nerd rage

    but it is the only time i have done it without chucking the thing or banging it on something

    i just snapped it in my hands

    you ever get to that point where you get so fucked over by the game that you begin to feel like the game is actually cheating?

    like you are playing a game where, ostensibly, the NPC is operating under the same rules as you but then they just do bullshit and you are like OH FUCK OFF

    if they were a human player you'd accuse them of hacking

    but instead you are wondering if like

    that's actually a part of the game

    I once got a voice message from a 10 year old kid because I killed him in CoD WaW with a grenade thrown for shits and giggles. He insinuated that I did things to horses. Which I don't. Generally it seems that on Xbox Live (to me at least) the people who rage the most are them younger folks. Then again, I could be terribly wrong.

    i remember

    in perfect dark, you could populate your games with Sims (bots)

    and they had different traits and difficulty levels

    in the description of DarkSim (the hardest of all) it was like "If you think DarkSim is cheating, he is."

    so refreshing

    for a game to outright admit that

    In sports game it's known as the "No Effin' Way game" (phrase made popular by Bill Simmons), where the computer simply decides that you're not going to win this particular game. Penalties, turnovers, tipped passes falling into the wrong hands. It's unreal sometimes. Winning one of these games should be worth 50 achievement points.

    Explain.....

    Not that it ever ended in nerdrage worthy of this thread (as I only played with friends), but great moments of dickery that could create nerdrage:

    Quick background: Most stars at the end of game = winner. Stars cost 20 coins. You get coins by winning games or landing on spaces in a board game.

    -- A friend gets an item which allows him to teleport to a star and buy it early in the game. Everyone else present spends the entire game dicking him over so he never has more than 20 coins (a rather paltry sum in a long game). The item is unused all game.

    -- Another friend has 19 coins and is one space from a star. A 2v2 minigame comes up, and I intentionally lose the game so he can't buy a star.

    -- Random events can switch stars and coins around. Final turn of a game, a random event gives the leading player all the last place player's coins and stars (total: about 5 coins, 0 stars) in exchange for all of the leading player's coins and stars (total: about 120 coins, 4 stars).

    -- The original game had a minigame where one player would be the "Bowser" and the other players got to team up on him. The best was the minigame where the "lucky player" wandered around with a bag of coins on his back, and all the other players chased him in a circle to try and grab him and steal coins from his bag (with an animation which looks particularly PG-13 and uncomfortable).

    It also starts with $500 at the beginning of the game.

    That house rule is the reason monopoly is so reviled. Without it it's almost passable.

    Monopoly is a game where the total money at the table goes down over time, thus forcing player eliminations, Money on Free Parking pretty much stops that happening and turns Monoply it a 4 hour torture when it should be a 1.5 hour backstab-a-thon.

    Got to remember to auction non-purchased properties as well. Nothing better than anding on a property, not buying it then getting it cheaper at auction. That's finesse.

    Monopoly isn't a great game but the general population seems to have done everything in their power to make it a terrible one.
