That's not rape, it's beastiality....
This list would be much better if the examples weren't so extreme.
PC Guy - He likes putting together his own rig and having the highest end gear. He's willing to spend twice as much to jump through more hoops for fewer games. He then spends the rest of his life inventing reasons as to why others are foolish for not doing the same.
Fantasy-land Japanophile guy - If it's candy-coloured and made for 8 year old Japanese girls, it resonates deeply within his soul. He's probably never actually been to Japan for more than a week, if at all, but he knows several phrases necessary to throw magic death bolts at people in Japanese should the need ever arise. Has played everything 6 months before you have. Can namecheck every anime ever. Listens to J-pop refusing to believe it's watered down Asian Hillary Duff. Will be mentally 13 years old until age 40. These people are generally easily pushed around on message boards, and may or may not be secret furries. Also known as: F-Chans.
Overcompetitive Fighting Game Guy - Has an SRK account. Can name the top tiers in everything. Knows that you're a complete neophyte for wasting your time with whatever game he doesn't like. Can beat you easy and will bet like, $100 that he can do it. Counts frames. Scoffs at n00bs who can't do whatever astoudning feat he's pretending he can do in his sleep this week. Can namecheck every guy on Japanese Street Fighter tournament trees, and knows all about how that one Japanese dude won one with Q that one time. Is close personal friends with whoever always wins at Evo and was totally there that one time when that awesome thing happened, you just didn't see him. Will vehemently argue that Street Fighter II Turbo is like a chess match. Also does not know how to play chess very well.
Cartoon snob *new for TNL!* - Cartoons are a serious artform and if the animation in the new Street Fighter game doesn't live up to the exacting standards of Ren & Stimpy, then it is garbage and should never be played by anyone who doesn't walk on their knuckles. After all, the idle animation in Street Fighter is the crux of the whole experience.
Gun nut - Plays every single variation of that game where a crosshairs bobs around indiscriminately murdering hundreds. Is convinced this could not possibly have any effect whatsoever on his mental wellbeing, and only church grannies could think otherwise. Also wants you to fuck off and is highly likely to inform that you're a homosexual, whether you had previously realized this or not. Knows that this kind of videogame proves that he is more virile and likely to succesfully reproduce than other kinds.
Sports/Madden/Halo/GTA guy - Is a straw man message boards invent to argue about. He only buys whatever popular macho game of the month appeals to his coarse sensibilities. Is only casually acquainted with gaming and generally doing other things with his life like being a big dumb sports jerk and/or alcoholic rapist, but also spends every day of his life playing Madden and awaiting Grand Theft Auto 4 with baited breath, probably with a baseball cap on backwards. The momentous moment of his GTA IV purchase will turn the console wars in favour of the Xbox 360. Or the Playstation 3, if he's too dumb to mentally encompass the notion of more than one version of something and solely identifies it as "a Playstation franchise." May or may not actually exist as a thinking, feeling human being.
Nintendo manchild - Got either an NES or an N64 for his 8th birthday, and has been living in that moment ever since. Knows that Nintendo games are magically more fun than anything else. Can name every obscure character and piece of lansdcape scenery in every Nintendo game ever. Convinces himself that other people believe him when he says he plays these games obsessively not because he wants to live in a candy coated happyland where the adult world can't hurt him, but because he apreciates the refined game mechanics to the exclusion of everything else. Has more faith in Miyamoto than he does in a loving God, and will argue more fervently in favour of all things Nintendo than the most hardened Bible-belt fundamentalist. Often loses these arguments and has to fall back on "whatever happened to liking something just because it's fun?" Knows deep down that everyone who rejects Nintendo will be trapped in the raging flames of 8-4 forever when they die.
Shmup guy - Putting his OCD to good use, he spends all of his free time in pursuit of high scores that only 10 other people on Earth can put into any kind of context. Can tell you that the PS2 port of Mushihimesama has 3% less slowdown than the arcade version, and the aspect ratio is a pixel-and-a-half off. This is really fucking important, and roughly equivalent to smearing Nutella all over a Van Gogh, if Van Gogh had a pink insect period. Basically, even if it's still a Van Gogh, you don't want the one with Nutella on it.
Strider saved this thread.
* Receives ass smack, and then gives secret shake.
Strider is awesome at this stuff. Of all the people who compile lists on the internet, it's the ones like Stider who should do it more often.
I remember borrowing Josh's Steel Batallion, good times.
:lol: Good job, Strider.
