yeah, we all have that friend who will lie about some stupid poo poo just to make himself look cool. except this friend doesn't talk about how his cool juggling skills let him jiggle the titties on a two dollar whore for free. nah, we're talking about that one friend who tells you how 'yeah man, you can convince sephiroth to join your team if you use the exact right sequences of moves in the battle' and stupid gay poo poo like that.

they will fervently deny any accusations of lying.

I had an obnoxious friend of a friend who

1) had space ace for amiga but he couldn't show me because his father brought it to his work or something. Space ace wasn't coming out for other six months by the way, but at the time with warez people finding the weirdest poo poo around the idea he could have it was plausible enough.
2) some years later I saw him again and his father had a 586 at work when 486s were the hot new thing

I hated that guy and learned to avoid him rather quickly, but not that quick, because I suspect he borrowed my Alien Syndrome floppy without telling me. And maybe Double Dragon too.

Then there was this guy at school who said that amigas, in retrospect, were awful machines (commodore just died) because some years earlier his amiga 500 won't run anything and then he exchanged it for a 286 and it worked. I asked him "well, did you put a floppy in your amiga?" "Why should I have put a floppy in the amiga?" "Because the big hand with a floppy was the prompt to put the workbench or a game" "are you loving kidding me? Well, amigas were poo poo and I am happy Commodore died."

The worst lie however was that group of people who swore that playing ultima online on a "free roleplay only community driven server" was the funniest activity to do in gaming that ever was or will be.

Then there are the people saying that wind waker is the best zelda ever (it isn't, it's way below ocarina/albtw/alttp/link's awakening), but I understand and respect the opinion since it could be the only beatable zelda for them (and they will hate the wiiu chapter) :black101:

Blind Sally, really, Final Fantasy XIII is a fantastic game. You're just not giving it a proper chance. It's not at all as linear as people say it is, and it isn't long until you get to run around a massive game world, explore a lush and wonderful environment. You really need to just open your mind a little more and try not to be so biased against it. Lightning is, bar-none, the best, most well-developed Final Fantasy character to ever grace a console."

growing up i used to lie about stupid poo poo all the time because lying is awesome, but then i figured out that if you tell them you thought of this idea rather than trying to pass it off as real people actually respect you more because making up a thing is harder than repeating a thing. that was kind of a moment i think, the idea that an authoritativity isn't as well regarded as creativity.
