Ugly, I want to compliment you on telling really good infuriating nerd stories without sounding like an infuriating nerd yourself. I feel like not too many people can do this since he who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster blah blah blah You know what I'm saying here.

My mate reminded me of an individual who we had the misfortune of knowing; Andrew. Yonks ago I used to hang around a video games club, an evening of playing a bunch of consoles on a projector and pub dinners afters. Andrew came by way of Oz who'd I'd bumped into one afternoon and invited over to check out the group. Andrew was in tow as they'd left their classes. Oz was a quiet no nonsense bloke who's main claim to fame was being able to sleep on any hard surface. He'd gotten to known Andrew from his repeated requests for assistance with Java. Oz had built himself a great wall of patience with working with him, but this was wearing thin at the time. Dance Dance Rage The DDR scene is where I gathered Andrew had some geek connection to as he had a few things to say about the various groups. He wasn't actually geeky but sort of had developed an interest and latched onto the community. Since the large arcade complex had closed many DDR machines had been sold off to surrounding pubs; resulting in the usually improbable gathering of DDR nerds gathering in a tiny side room of a notorious bikie bar to get their fix. Rocking up Andrew proceeds to show off his stuff, which was to play the game at some high speed with no arrows showing. But then he made a few misteps and stuffed up. Most normal people would be frustrated, Andrew erupted into a rage that got quite a few heads turning. Oz's response was to roll his eyes, this apparently was a common thing. Oz quickly suggested we grab a coffee instead. ...in which I become a superhuman Perhaps he was burning through the adrenaline rush but he started laying on the flattery in thick swathes. In his eyes the combined fact of me studying design, greeting a girl from my class who happened to be at the same cafe and carrying an apparently super hot mug of coffee elevated me above all humans. Despite the reality that at the time I was frequently compared to looking like a burnt out Eric Stoltz from Pulp Fiction. Oz seemed nonplussed at this, I began to suspect this was all too common an occurrence as at one point Oz told him to be quiet when he started up something about a Jewish conspiracy. ...in which Andrew thinks we could be Oz had to head off (lucky bastard) so I took Andrew over to the club. Along the way he opens up a bit. Namely on the idea that humans are distantly related to seraphim's and that we could have some sort of mystical power. I think he considered himself to be one. How to get banned from a group of nerds One major draw to the video game club was that unlike other communities this didn't have much of a hugbox environment. We hated petty drama and given it was a competitive environment really didn't want people falling out over friendly games. At the worst was some kid who'd won some Metroid competition and figured himself be some sort of Fata1ty, complete with buying shirts and hoodies with his gamertag. No one really cared and he quietly sat in a corner tapping away on his DS. Anyone who'd get a bit too out of hand was quietly asked to skip a week. To date there's only been two bannings; a guy who threatened to use his Bokken on someone and Andrew. Andrew was banned for being over enthusiastic. Imagine the intense joy that only a kid being given free reign to a toy store has and apply that to a 28 year old man. The main draw was fighting games, Soul Calibre and some Naruto import. These proved to be utterly facinating to Andrew who very enthusiastically responded to the events on screen. "AHHAAHA DID YA loving SEE WHAT HE DID!!  WHOOO!!!" And other variations. He was told to cut it out, but barely contained it.He eventually got banned after throwing some shitfit over loosing a round and the head of the club, sick of warning him every week, plainly stated he wasn't welcome. On women One week while looking for an quick escape from Andrew's latest wave of enthusiasm. I indicated to James a food run was in need. He agreed. Andrew caught us leaving and dashed to join us. "Thank god!" someone exclaimed. Through the mall Andrew decides that it's best to vocally point out women and graphically describe what he'd like to do to them. It was clear he'd never been with a girl as everything was very fantastical. Not wanting to be clobbered we told him to shut it. We later abandoned him at KFC's while he waited for them to get his chips, just to escape a repeat performance on the way back. Ad infiinium Andrew's returns were dreaded by many. When he'd tried to strike up conversation everyone was either overwhelmed by how intense he was or just baffled by why he was raving about something really common in gaming. It was if he'd figured by being enthusiastic about it he'd gain respect; along with constantly flattering people over little things. This was often punctuated by intense bouts of self loathing that we eventually got fed up with once we'd realized he wasn't going to throw himself off a balcony anytime soon. A pyche student suggested he'd likely was suffering from some form of mania. Apparently taking speed slowed him down. Was the banning harsh? I think when you take into account he's 28, hanging out with guys who were around 16 to mid 20's and managing to be less mature in his behavior, to the point where attendance was dropping as no one could stand being around him, there's a fair argument that it was.

OP, I'm loving this thread. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I would like you (or a mutual friend, if you and Denise are no longer on speaking terms) to recommend this dating sim to her. Why this particular game? Because it features a sexy demon guy who turns out to be legitimately and unecquivocally hosed up. Seriously, if you pursue his romance plot, he tries to kill you and use your soul as fuel for his magical ritual to ascend to demonic princehood. And you can still pursue him after that. I bet he'll at least become part of her harem, if not take Sepiroth's place. Pretty please?

I also like the story where she apparently got accepted into a university fashion design course, but quit because she was 'so advanced it was boring.' In reality, the teacher saw one of her cosplays, asked the hell how it was even held together and she quit from shame.

And while I admit that might not be the case fully I'd hazard a guess that at least some people met them via conventions and such.

I had to go back a few pages, but the person they're talking about is Australian. Presumably though the Australian anime circles are still small enough that essentially every regular knows about everyone else.

I knew a guy who was a giant fan of a country and its culture. He obsessively talked about that thing, defended all slights against it, and was going to move there so he could immerse himself in their glorious, perfect culture and learn true civilization. The only things he read were books about that country, that culture, for he was otaku in its spergiest form. Words from that land, he pronounced in what I'm sure he felt was the proper accent. You know the type. And you might think "yes yes, another weeaboo" but you would be wrong. Tory was otaku for Great Britain. To illustrate, Prince William and his wife were in Ottawa for Canada Day. I'm ok with the monarchy, it's nice to have them around even if they're useless. But Tory was so goddamn amped, and he got really upset when we were all apathetic to Wills and Kate, we couldn't help but push his buttons. He started ranting that we should honour William now because he will be our King one day and it would be treasonous not to bow and scrape at that point. He earnestly believed that if the Queen told him to fetch her some tea, he would have to do it or be locked up in the Tower of London or something. So, we put him to a question. Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, tells you, a loyal subject, that you can absolutely avert a global war which would plunge humanity into an unending darkness, but you must have sex with her to do this. Would you gently caress Liz in her wrinkly rear end to save humanity?  Tory started freaking out, telling us it was disgusting to talk about Her Highness that way, because she is the Queen and you shouldn't ever disrespect her that way. She is the living history of England and you debase the entire country, etc, etc. Me, I think I would take the bullet. But Tory was so grossed out, he would doom us all to defend her honour. That selfish prick. We brought it up a few more times, and I think he ran off and cried one time, especially once the English immigrant we worked with started slamming the Royals as well. He couldn't understand how someone who had lived in the SAME CITY OMG could think so little of the Windsors.  He is now studying at Cambridge in Faire Brittania. Before he left, I told him I fully expected him to get the poo poo kicked out of him by a pack of chavs and the constabulary would find his corpse in an alley with a Burberry jacket stuffed down his throat. He took this as a sign that I was a secret Briton like him and barraged me with questions about that perfect, unsullied land. But hey, he's your problem now, UK goons. He'll be easy enough to identify. He's 6', 300lbs, has a patchy neckbeard which he says makes him look like King George V but really just makes him look like a goon. e: if it's not topical enough, pretend all this was about the Prince Naruhito coming to Canada, the question being about whether or not he would bone the Empress, and how Tory thinks his beard makes him look like Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Ask me about being best friends with an Egg So, in secondary school I was socially awkward. But then, I guess we all are in a way at that point in our lives. Basically couple standard awkwardness with being introverted and overweight and you don't have a good mix for making friends. At my school there was another boy named John who was also socially awkward, overweight and nerdy. We hit it off and became friends. Something John centred his whole life around was his asperger's syndrome (medically diagnosed in this instance, but he acted just as bad as the self-diagnosed internet ones) and he would use this as an excuse for everything. Stopped taking subjects he didn't like, spent all lessons drawing or browsing deviantart. A teacher once told him to stop drawing and do some work, and he howled like a loon and ripped up his work book. At this time John had a secret identity. An egg. His alter-ego was an egg. This egg, if memory doesn't fail me, was the despotic emperor of a distant galactic empire (It was never established if he was from a long time ago, however ) who came to earth to live with a vampire. That vampire was me. I'll admit I was a pathetic teen loner of the types you see all about on the internet, and I have no justification for it.I, however grew out of this, and stopped hanging out as much with John, because I was starting to blossom as a person and come out of my shell, while he kept the same loner tendencies. At this time, a change occurred, however. A change so horrifying that it would eventually consume him and corrupt the boy within. To be continued  (Sorry for thread jacking but this guy transforms from teen outcast to something much worse, and the world needs to know!)
