ZOMBIE FORUMS

Ph3@r my occasional Weird Al quoting powers, which may or may not be used again!


Yes... I guess that would stick...

And at least that situation has come to a reasonably amicable conclusion...

I used to think Vash was a wuss.

Then I saw him shirtless.

Metal grafting has never BEEN so sexy.

I'm sorry, first thing that went through my head was 'When did Caff go meet Vass? And what injury does he have the requires metal grafting on the torso?'

Fixed it for you, grammarai.

::edited to remove unnecessary quoting::

*blinks*
Well, if I did have metal grafting and superpowerful prosthetic limbs I'd want that sound effect from the 'Six Million Dollar Man' to go with them for when I did stuff.
As for the rest of it, I'll avoid commenting apart from the fact that at times earlier in the thread I was getting confused...

I read that after she fixed it and still thought it said Vass until someone pointed this out, so don't feel bad.

*Vass eats cereal*CHCHchch-CHCHchch-CHCHchch-CHCHchch-CHCHchch-CHCHchch...

what i hate is when pople bitch about quality entertainment BECAUSE people like it. not that i dont dislike crazy fanboys/girls, i just ignore it rather than bitch about everything...

You know, there's a Reel Big Fish song about that.

And on later reflection, Gundam Wing wasn't all that good to begin with.

I disagree. I think that it comes back to this whole "children have magic in their lives... imagination blah blah blah to see what's really there, while adults see what they want to see" sort of thing that we always have thrust at us as an explanation.

Anyway, it makes sense. You expect a child to say "look mummy, elves!" and the adult to say "don't be silly, dear". It's just the way the world works.

You'll have noticed by now that this is my first post. I'm what's generally known as a professional lurker.

Poe Disagree's. And you failed at lurking suffieciently well :(

Ah.

I'll just go back to not posting silly comments then.

Don't do that, if you look at the thread its a pretty common belief in it. Just poe already put it down. Welcome to the boards n'stuff :) Shoulda said that earlier. Stick around, oakie? :)

Hmm... a humble n00b. This one bears watching. *looks for an ink pad for his giant DNI stamp, just in case.*

I don't mind the occasional fanboy/fangirl. There isn't a single one of us here that isn't a Poe fanboy/fangirl, am I right? Some of us more rabid than others. In fact, that was an issue recently, but I won't get into that.

I don't mind the screen names from various things. They like something, they use it for their screen name, and add a bunch of gibberish to make it look special. I've seen countless Sephiroth's, Vash's, Vegeta's, and a million other ones. It's cool. They can't all be New York Times Bestselling Authors with original screen names. I mean, come on. The general public has all the wit and intelligence of your average hammer. If not for us elite intelligentsia picking up the slack for those fucking losers through all of recorded time, they'd STILL be sitting around in caves trying to decide if rocks are edible. Fricking ingrates. We give them electricity, cooked food, the wheel, nuclear warheads, badass fascist uniforms, silverware, and what kind of gratitude do we get? "Oh, we don't like being used as expendable slave labor. Oh, we want free public education for our dumb-as-stumps kids. Lower the taxes. Don't use me as cannon-fodder. Don't use me as cannon ammunition. We don't enjoy being exploited just because we're inferior in every way. I want to watch American Idol." Nothing but whine whine whine every time one of us puts them to good use. Ungrateful bastards. They should thank us for giving them something constructive to do with their time. I'd rather use the unwashed masses to gain global power than let them run around breeding more dumbasses to annoy us, am I right?

Erm, anyway, back on topic. The only time I've ever been turned off from something by the rabid fanboys was with Dragon Ball Z. I was bound and determined to never see a single episode of that show just because of the millions of idiot Goku and Vegeta fans running around acting like idiots with bad hair. I mean, for pete's sake, USE A COMB YOU FUCKING LOSERS!

Then I thought, "you know, they may be mindless rabble whose existence is wholly without merit, but maybe they're on to something. I mean, just because they're stupid, doesn't mean that this show they're all drooling over can't be good, right?"

Boy, was I wrong. Well, not wrong, more like my hypothesis was proven incorrect after a sufficient experiment. I've never been wrong in my life. I may not always be right, but I am NEVER wrong.

Apparently every episode consists of some new villain of the week, who stands around smirking whilst surrounded by some ominous glow that pulsates and, more likely than not, makes a crater around him at a sufficiently dramatic moment. Cue everyone else standing around grunting/gasping in shock and awe at his power. Cue annoying idiot who is so incompetent that he got his own tail cut off, who then proceeds to top the villain by becoming even more powerful. Cue additional grunting/gasping in shock and awe. Add bad guy talking to to himself in either sudden self-doubt or complete arrogance, while moron with bad hair that changes colors on a regular basis talks to himself as well, either desperately narrating the fact that he doesn't know whether or not he can defeat the villain or laughing to himself at how easy it will be to defeat the villain. Proceed with ass-whupping as villain and moron shoot magical beams of light from various body-parts, dissappear and become little motion streaks on the screen with "veet!" noises, or throw each other into convenient cliffs placed at random about the landscape. Cue grunting/gasping in shock and awe. Announcer dramatically asks himself the same question as the previous sixty-three episodes: can the moron beat the villain? Tune in next time on, DRAGON. BALL. Z!

For a guy so powerful that he could give God a wedgie, the dumbass sure does die a lot. I figure every four or five episodes he gets knocked off. You'd think someone would get sick of him coming back sooner or later and call the Ghostbusters to make sure he and his ridiculous hair stay in the afterlife for once.

So really, with the exception of DBZ fans, I don't mind the rabid fanboys/fangirls so much. Except at conventions. So long as you appear well-armed and don't have boobs, you should be safe from drooling idiots there.

Ummm I didn't get that. If it was aimed at all at me (by "screen name", you're referring to the filecore thing, right?) then I can give you reasons until your ears bleed. As for the whole fanboy thing... you lost me, sorry. Oh well, livened my day up at least...

I think he was moving on and going back to the whole "fanboys ruining a good series" thing brought up by Usagi.

I will love my anime and manga, fanboys be damned. There are fanboys for everything, they just go by different names. Like, for instance, when I became Jet Li's fanboy, they called me a "stalker". Whatever!

"Scott Kurtz didn't call my mom when I stalked him!" "Kurtz is a hack!"

Yes. The only thing aimed at filecore was the first bit. The rest of it, minus some megalomaniacal rambling, was back to the rest of the topic.

My nick is original.

And, I'm not a fanboy. Of anyone. I respect Poe and his work, but I feel fanboyism leads bad places. Zealots close their minds. No man is infaliable. Even someone who does good work.

I'm a fanboy of my dog.
