I wonder if derek has archived this yet?

That just might be the most disgusting thing that I have ever seen.
Now I can’t unsee it.
Please do not try to top this. The fat literally has nowhere to go. [/quote]
I have some they will not let me post that top this
Near the end of my days playing WoW, my wife to get my attention would strip down naked, and rub up against me. I would tell my guild “sexy time” and leave. This happened every day for a couple of weeks. Everyone was in disbelief that I was getting that much play. I told them it was not fair to them that I was getting all the action and all they had was internet porn. I left and never went back. Having a wife that likes sex 2-3 times a week for the past 14 years is something you want to keep.

This… good times.
And Walkway… I’m not sure if you’re serious? I’m not a fatty if that’s what you’re implicating, although I was much heavier it was due to bulking and poorly, not gaming. Leveling is now efficient if you know what to do, and I’m OCD about finding the best way to do everything, so I figured out the shortest path to success (in that game at least).
that’s how fat people roll (no pun intended) [/quote]
I can’t lie… I just snickered at work and had the 6 Japanese co-workers around me stop and look. This was gold.
Also… X, you can’t state you’re a nerd without verifying said nerd status. Bauber justified it with DnD, Magic, and SciFi movies. I’m calling you out, muscles or not!
Edit: To stay on topic, I’m sorry, I don’t feel bad for fat people either. Life is made up of two kinds of people, those who make up excuses and those who do something about it. Which one are you?
Fat isn’t a disease, and those people, if fat, who are on government assistance (ie are being enabled by other people’s hard work) should have their food intake controlled. Sorry, if you’re obese because you over-eat, then starve it off if you can’t get your ass to a gym or treadmill. At the point you have difficulty standing, going to the bathroom, wiping, or showering - you need help, and that help is an empty refrigerator.[/quote]
Fat isn’t a disease exactly, but it most certainly is an addiction to food. Obese people abuse food the same way alcoholics abuse alcohol and for exactly the same reason. There are direct links to neuro chemicals that are stimulated with the over consumption of calories and sugars specifically. It’s basically medicating stress and anxiety (or whatever the root cause) with food. Understanding this basic concept would do wonders for obese people everywhere. It is their fault and there is a solution but it requires work and in many cases therapy. Using food as fuel responsibly is the same as drinking responsibly. It is done by the majority of the population. Problem drinkers are like the typical out of shape person but obese people can be compared to alcoholics who can’t manage their lives because of a substance. Granted just like some alcoholics have mental problems that can be controlled with medication, some obese people have physically issues (thyroid etc) that can be regulated with medication. After that it is on them to USE food responsibly. That is the one benefit of alcoholism, alcoholics can abstain completely and stay well. Obese people need to consume their DRUG for their entire lifetime. Changing negative behaviors into positive ones is the solution

Breaking my silence to disagree with the Nard.
-Played EQ during the glory days (A tank for one of the greatest guilds in the Game, IB)
-Original WoW Beta Tester, and Player Expansions through WoTL. Then moved on to the next MMO. unfortunately, was disappointed in the next dozen things that were released. Currently waiting on the Skyrim MMO.
-Played D&D (would again if the team had an 8 hr gap to dedicate to it)
-Goes to Comic con/Anime expo (Has gone to Anime expo 5yrs straight in LA. Dresses up also: Was Dan from Street Fighter last year, Was Navi from Zelda this year, and debating next year’s costume- Current options are Torgue, A member of the Ginyu Force, or Super Knuckles). Dressing up makes those events 100x Funner. On top of that, going out to dinner or to a bar afterwards in costume is a riot and ends up with meeting awesome people and having food/drinks sent your way.
-Reads Anime
-Currently Plays Magic
-Currently Plays BL2
-Can spank anyone in Smash Bros(choose your version) with most anyone, but Mario is my man.
-Has LAN parties (Currently one planned for the 26th at a friend’s house to host a BL2 LAN of the new DLC, which is a D&D type expansion)
-And the list goes on.

I remember EQ, but I was finishing highschool at the time before WoW came out, so I missed the boat. Just caught the tail end of it, man I hated that people could kill you and take your stuff.
Welcome back from your silence, I remember you from way back when!
And audio, of course. Even in the movie revenge of the nerds the following was stated and proven, “'Cause all Jocks ever think about is sports, all we [nerds] ever think about is sex.”
I’ve never gotten any complaints from the mrs.! Though you can avoid those callouses if you go through proper warm-up before-hand (that face was not pun-intended, but meh, I’ll say pun intended also for dramatic affect).

I love being a nerd.
Sorry. Back to the original topic.[/quote]
Conceded…and you’re bigger than me too![/quote]
Like X was saying earlier, that’s when it’s best to be a nerd. Im a lil bigger than my profile pic these days, and i was walking around the LA convention center in my Navi suit (which was a plain white morph suit and big wings) and most people were shouting 'Hey listen," or 'Watch out," but a couple asked me to do bodybuilder poses. “Hit the Most muscular for me, Navi!” It was fooking hysterical.
I hate how being a “nerd” is what’s in vogue as of late. All of the posers out there are giving all us real nerds a bad name. I’m so tired of seeing all the douches walking around campus with their Superman backpacks on when you know those motherfuckers have never even picked up a comic. Also, as far as my nerd credentials:
I have played WoW-Classic and Burning Crusade.
I am currently back to playing Magic and loving it more than ever.
Most of my “book collection” consists of graphic novels ranging from Marvel Zombies to Final Crisis.
I have played LoL, Diablo II, Path of Exile, and dabbled in HoN.
I played Heroclix for a number of years and competed in tournaments.
I was obsessed with the Final Fantasy games growing up.
I have a love for things sci-fi/fantasy. I love both Star Wars and even loved the new Star Trek films.
I possess a vast amount of knowledge concerning fictional characters in both the DC and Marvel universes. Also, some from Dark Horse.
I’m sure I’ll think of more later.

I honestly dont think its anything worth flaunting, not that theres anything inherently wrong with it, though some people are such repulsive, sub-human nerds that they deserve to be scorned for all their general human deficiencies.
Im a nerd, i like videogames, and not the “non-nerdy” ones like CoD, but the Final Fantasies, Mass Effect, even the occasional MMO (LOTRO is still the best IMO) but i dont find it cool or liberating to embrace it so obviously, like its a badge of honor or something.
We get it, you lack any really interesting or unique character traits so you have to wear a shirt with a big superman “S” to the gym every day.
