Has anyone here ever hear game references in real life or sometimes reference one without noticing it? For example earlier in my math class my teacher making a joke started the class with "Order in the class." Without realizing it I screamed "OBJECTION!" and did the Pheniox Wright finger point. Later my friend randomly asked me what happens if you have a mushroom. (The drug kind of shroom) I replied "You get an extra life" (Mario, if you didn't know that leave smashboards) Have you ever done something like this? (Or seen somebody?)

I try to do any "OVER 9000!!!" references depending on the situation. A couple people sometimes get it. Usually, I get goofy stares though...

One of my friends and I are always doing video game references. These include jokes, one-liners and singing/whistling along to the melodies. Unfortunately, I can't think of any (I always forget them soon after ^^;), but we sure do reference Super Mario pretty much all of the time :p

For my university's orientation, one of the professors came and talked about study habits. She had to do some demonstrations on the computer, and she had to log in. Her login username was cking (first letter of first name and first 7 letters of last name). As soon as I saw that I turned to my friend and said Seaking, and we died laughing.

If somebody is doing something annoying and repetitive I will prevent them from doing it in an obnoxious way and say "combo breaker".


All of the others I do with my friends are kind of improvised and its a shame i can't remember them now :(

Me and my friend went to go watch Rush Hour 3, and at the part where they were fighting under the Eiffel tower and the guy was trying to stab jackie chan from above with the sword. I leaned over to my friend and said "Dair" since he uses Young link.

We were talking about what we enjoy doing (since it was the "let's get to know each other" first day of school"), and I don't remember what this one person said it was that they do, but the teacher said "It sounds like you're trying hard to be good at it".
Then the kid said "I wanna be the best."
Then without thinking I sang "Like no one ever was!"
Pretty soon, half the class was singing the Pokémon theme.


Also, I don't know if this counts, but I want to name my first daughter Samus.

D***, that's what I do.

-Whenever I beat someone in a debate, I sing the Pokemon song that plays when you beat a wild pokemon.
-I yell "Objection!" at times.
-My short stories for writing class usually involve Cut Man.
-Every now and then, I'll do the dance that Crash Bandicoot does after collecting a crystal/gem/relic.
-After telling somebody something, I'll say 'Got it memorized?'
-After giving somebody something, I'll say 'Get equipped with <whatever the item is>' and sing the item get song from Megaman 3.

I often make video game references on instinct that just go over my friends heads but anyway. One time about 2 years ago somebody at my school tried to grind a rali right next to a flag pole, and basically smacked his head off of the pole and first thing I said was "I guess he could'nt jump the Flag" beyond that I make random Donkey Kong and Samus references that have given me plenty of nicknames in the process.

Hey, easy there. Teef flipped out and summoned bears down upon the people of this earth last time someone mispronounced his name.

A minority had a bear music festival in the woods. Attending were The Beartles performing their hit song 'Strawbeary Fields Forever'.

Too many to name. My favorite one is when someone at a smashfest scrubs out, and me and my friends furiously rub the table in a scrubbing motion.

In physics last year we were learning about waves and the wave equation. The teacher drew a lambda on the board and asked "so who knows what this is?" and I said "psh, it's the Half Life symbol. Duh." Only 2 people in the class laughed.

Yet you're posting here. Strange.


:p

Kitten I distinctly remember you getting really drunk and going to that, later that night you came home saying you met the love of your life.

I still see some of those bears but where did the rest of them go?

That warrants no high five. Posting in a thread and being intangibly lame are two different things.

Back to what this topic was meant to be about. Bears.

It's my belief that they've gone in to some form of decade long hibernation deep within the earth, waiting for their time to rise again and strike. But when they do, I'll still be out on this rockin' chair, waitin' with my M16.

Agreed, but what makes you think they will be vulnerable to bullets after a 10 year long hibernation?

I use silver bullets if you're suggesting that they will have turned in to vampires.

Well, the problem with Bearpires is that they cover up each others weaknesses, so even silver bullets won't work. What you need my friend is Matt. Matt is some sort of stuff that manipulates your genetic code, so when you inject it, your body will have increased strength and agility. Also, when you inject some variants of Matt, you will get mystical powers. You can shoot electricity or fire from your hands, or freeze the Bearpires, or use telekineses to set up traps.

Also, there are Little Bearsisters and Big Beardaddies. The little Bearsisters run around in search of Matt, while the Big Beardaddies protect them.

Best game ever: BioBear.

Did I said game? I meant gay, as in: Best Gay Ever: BioBear.

To answer your second question: The manual that came with it said it needs to be injected in one of your blood vessels but I personally tested it and came to the conclusion that it works best when injected into the rectum.

I try not to.

The odds of finding someone who plays vidya games are slim and the odds of finding someone who knows internet meme's like 'over 9000', 'boom headshot' and others are even slimmer.

Sometimes I make reference to over 9000 and boom headshot. It's a habit.

Interestingly enough, in gay/bisexual culture, a bear is a man in his thirties with lots of body hair.

I believe this may be one of thear (ahaha) ways of penetrating (no gay reference intended) our society.
