This, pretty much. I'm willing to bet that most serious gamers encounters some form of ridicule for their "nerdy" interest. It has nothing to do with the fact that you play Smash; it would happen with pretty much any other game at some point. Unless you play CoD; but even then, you might catch flak if you're playing for money.
Sort of like PC Chris?
I fixed 2 so it's more accurate
I do this @ work. they've come to accept "No Johns" even though I'm the only one who says it. during a huge order I usually say "Wombo Combo" for no reason. it's soooooooooooooo00o00o0o0o0o0o much fun! =D
when you go to play so-and-so's annoying fiend make sure that it isn't on an HD t.v. though. I played @ a work party and lost the first 3 or 4 rounds because I was playing Fox/Falcon on a T.V. with like a jillion frames of lag. I switched to sheik and didn't loose another round all night, but of course no one remembers that.
Good luck with that mindset.
? I don't think there is anything wrong with that, actually.
guess I just misunderstood you. Sounded like you were going for some immature, 14 year old's "I'm never gonna work because work is stupid and totally not fun!" scheme. It's that kind of stuff that makes people look down on gamers...30 years old, mother's basement, no job, playing CoD all day and night.
A couple months ago my friend held a small tourney of about 15 people. We played just about every game from Halo 3 to pokemon stadiumwhen you go to play so-and-so's annoying fiend make sure that it isn't on an HD t.v. though. I played @ a work party and lost the first 3 or 4 rounds because I was playing Fox/Falcon on a T.V. with like a jillion frames of lag. I switched to sheik and didn't loose another round all night, but of course no one remembers that.
to Melee. I didn't win any money out of the first 5 games I played, but we were about to play Melee. A couple of my friends were joking that they might as well not even put money down for Melee since they know I will win. So we start it up, make the brackets and I was playing the first round. I had talk everyone into playing tourney rules (no items, 4 stock, they only wanted to do one match though). So this person I'm playing goes to pick falco and tells me "Awe I used to love playing as falco, my dad could never beat me when I picked him." I just laughed to myself, "He has no idea what he is about to witness." So I go ahead and pick falco as well. I pick final destination and start off by trying to SHL and I couldn't even do that. I tried to do simple things like SHFFL n-air and I could barely even get the fast-fall and L-cancel consistently. My spacing was horrible. I ended up losing and was so frustrated. I blamed it on the HD lag, which is what the problem was. For the rest of the night every time somebody would lose at any game they would blame it on the HD lag.)
I never got that. I don't feel much of a difference from my HD TV to my normal one.
ahahaha XD thats a win diddly in story. i hate it when people scream stuff like "THOSE GUYS ARE ALL FGGOTS" just to look cool
your use of the term f@ggot is offensive to me since i'm totally not straight
i didnt use it to offend anyone. i used it in a counter argument, where it was used i suppose incorrectly. makes no sense for you to call me a f*ggot since from your post you say you arent "straight", doesnt the word offend you? why use it?
you either have an HD TV with only 1 or 2 frames of lag and are lucky, rely exclusively on timing, or are an HD-timing-savant.
I think it's the first one. lol
Most of the time they like to watch the game but they dont like to play themselves. But at least they all love SF so they're not entirely bad people.
