IRL WoW...kind of..

ahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
holy shit that was funny, the fighting scene at the start is hilarous, wow those people need lots of help
 
running around in a field with really fake weapons, yelling, thinking they have magical powers, dressed up as "warriors" by means of throwing some racoon fur around your back, take your pick
 
God forbid people use their imagination to have fun. They should be sent to an asylum huh?
 
Pressure said:
Why do they need help?
hmm hmm

hm

hmm. :stare:

Ok i suppose they're allowed to live their lives how they want. But i can't help but lmao at that video.
 
Imagine how fun it would be to crash one of their nerdy partys, with paintball guns.

Oh yeah, that would show em.
 
That would be fun.

Yet what would be even more fun is vanquishing those petty wizards and mages with my level 15 penis of the infinite, equipped with the rare wonderous pants of the hobo. Lightning bolt and death spells will have no effect on me. I will surround myself in corpses and cover the world in darkness.
 
It looks helluva lot of fun. It would be better if they used real swords and axes though.
 
*looks at video* *looks at his many very very cool friends, lots of which are very attractive young women who are all well adjusted individuals, great company oh and go to these events regularly and have tons of fun*

*then looks at h00dlum, who got caught for wanking over pictures of girls on the forum that he stored on his own webspace with other porn and then blamed it on someone else. Who sits on his computer all day laughing at people enjoying themselves, while he himself has no life to speak of, which is why he laughs at others, jealousy because he could never fit in with people unless its across the internet"

Seriously, why is it so funny? Don't you realise how stupid you look playing CS:S and getting all worked up just cause someone shot at you. Smashing computers and crying cause some guy you've never even met, beat you in a video game. Your life revolves around a computer, while these people get on with normal lives, have partners, homes, cars, well paid jobs, a great many friends. And go to these events maybe once or twice a month, have fun for a couple of days, then go back to normal life, with no illusion over it being made up. They don't post things like "omgerz imagine if the strider was real!!" or assume just because a girl plays video games, she'll be automatically attracted to your pasty white skin.

Sorry pal but your the one to laugh at. You really are not in any position to laugh at anyone else for enjoying themselves, when you yourself need to get your life sorted

Really, any of you laughing at that want to stop and look at yourselves, then think how worked up you get over video games, how upset you get when someone uses a wallhack, complaining about every little thing, sitting there thinking your so much better than everyone else, behind the safety of a few wires and a modem. your nasty burger flipping jobs, your life revolving around your AIM contact list. People like that who can go out and enjoy themselves are so much better than any of you who sit and laugh at them. So grow the **** up and get a clue.

/me hands novelty sized chill pill to the dark elf

Obviously we engage in activites that can be equally humorous to another group. It's fun to laugh at ourselves. It's introspective humour! That's why i find those pure pwnage videos so funny.
 
looks like we hit a soft spot with TDE lmaonaise, im done tho you guys can go run around outside now with some card board swords oh noes! *flames*~

Well thats the difference, you can't laugh at yourselves. Look at all the Doom vs HL2 threads, all the screaming and bitching that takes place just cause someone said Doom3 looks better than HL2.

Someone uses a humerous skin for their model as a bit of fun and suddenly an uproar about how he's cheating and should be banned from ever playing another Valve game again... I'd not call that laughing at yourselves :)

LOL wtf was that about? You and Pressure is in the video right :LOL:? I just thought it was funny, i did not mean to be mean or anything. And dont talk about things you know nothing about. I have acutally been to a event like this(when i was 9 years old, i think its just a little bit weird for grown ups to act like this) and i have some friends who are into it...

Wanking? I do not have my own webspace and if i had i would not store porn on it. Who did i blame?
 
What is the structuring for these events?

Is it like a week camp where you get to level up and such in the wilderness? Or do people just get together for a day with pre-determinded skills and items to do battle.

Its called LARP

heres some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LARP

edit:
I can tell the tale about when i went to a LARP camp. We were about 9 years old and my friend invited me to a LARP camp which would last 4 days of the summer. This even was organised by a organisation called Enhörningen(The unicorn). It was a LARP camp for kids and had older people kind of guiding us along with the story. When we first arived we were about to have a barbeque when a pack of orcs came and stole ur hotdogs! That was kind of the first "quest", i remember that we met som dwarfs and traded coke for weapons, i remember that they called it "magic bubble potion".
Then we went to the orc camp to get our hotdogs back. I dont remember everything but it was really fun. I remember that there was a night campaign and i have never been more terrified in my life, the serious role-players clothes and makeup was really good so it was scary as hell, lol i think i ran back to the camp crying when some demons came with glowing eyes..

Overall this was really fun, but i would never be able to do it at the age of 20, i would feel so stupid playing around. But its pretty popular in sweden and i got some friends who are into it, making clothes and weapons etc..so plz TDE dont talk before you know anything...
 
Awesome thanks for the link
Just like tabletop role-playing games, LARPs can be continuing campaigns (usually with custom-made characters) or single-evening once-off events (usually with pre-written characters). The worldwide trend seems to be the campaign-type LARP, but once-off LARPs are the norm in the South African community.
Guess that answers it.

Technically, many childhood games are simple LARPs (even though they don't bear that name), and so in that sense LARPs may have been around since the dawn of humanity.
That's so true. That video is like watching your childhood and the raw imagination that comes with it.
 
Heh, my cousin goes to these kind of things, I've been to one myself and watched people bash each other, I still think its funny, not because I think its sad, or that I am in some way better than them, It just is funny.
 
Dling, I bet it will be funny :D. I would like to take part in a LARP myself, though.

I'm a CS:S player and I do get sometimes angry when I get "shot", though I still find movies of people cursing while playing a game very funny :D
 
Surely it would be easier to get drunk and hit each other with planks of wood?

Cost efficient!
 
lol......

but you'd wake up with leaves stuck to your face and bruises.

"wtf is with all these planks of wood and why am i in a forest....oh man what a night"
 
I didn't laugh once at that, though I did get a smile of my face when that big green monster was running about. Lighting bolt was funny because of the guy, shouting Lighting bolt. This however, looked almost fun...almost because I don't even play WoW or any other game like that. Its not so far removed from paintball or airsoft. Especially airsoft where people dress up in full mock army gear and run around pretending they're real soldiers.

Kage is right. The big guy did rule :D But he had huge platforms...kinda ruined it :(

One of them threw a little ball made of duct tape at another guy, and apperently won.

There are so many manly things to do in the woods, hunt, hike, paintballing, burying dead proustitutes... but LARP is not one of them. Really.
 
Being manly isn't about hunting and killing things, its about having the guts to be yourself and not be scared of what others think. Its about having fun regardless of the opinions of those who are embarrassed by themselves.
 
You guys do realize, that playing paintball and airsoft are the exact same thing, right? I should know, since I have actively played paintball, and I play airsoft.

And what is it? Pretending out tactical situations of real life combats using fake weapons and costumes(The costumes may be authentic, but they're still being used in a make believe context). These people in the video are simply choosing fantasy as a backdrop for their evenings of fun, and they found whatever means they had to achieve this, since its not very feasible to use real weapons if they don't plan on getting seriously injured. Same thing we do with our paintball and airsoft guns. They hurt, but they're not life threatening unless you get hit in the eye or whatever. I'm sure that guy with the big axe in the video hurt a couple people when he slammed people with it. Sure looked like he hit them hard with it. You come to my place, and i'll wail on you with a solid cardboard tube, and we'll see how much of a beating you can take. Heh.

Anyways though, I don't defend them because I do those sorts of things, and probably wont since its not my style, but I do defend them because I do the exact same thing, in a different way with dressing up as military units with paintball or airsoft guns and go out into the woods or other areas and pretend we're fighting a battle with strategy and cunning.

I just fail to see how their way is more stupid, just because they choose the backdrop of games you *LOVE* to play. Face it, you're a bunch of nerds, you play the exact same things they do, but on computers rather than computer and acting it out in real life. its just like me playing counter-strike source and then going out with a bunch of friends to play airsoft.
 
Are you trying to say that, anybody can have fun, even us nerds, but we should not frown upon other nerds ways of having fun?

If so, good.
 
Well, getting nailed in airsoft hurts, which indirectly makes it cool. :LOL:

20-30 year olds, running around in the woods with 9-13 year olds is just..... sad.

Thats incredible. How do you manage to always come to such astouding conclusions...

Well first I go ask my mother what she thinks about it. Once I get off the phone with her I run over to my white board and start with the equations. After about 3 or 4 hours I come upon a reasonable conclusion and take it to the board of directors. After a couple days of theory and arguements they edit what needs to be edited and it can be passed to other scientists. They take a look at it and try to add onto it through weeks of experimentation and study. Once the processed theory has been passed back to me I ponder upon it many a night looking for any mistakes that all others have missed. If one is found I go through the entire process again. Once a rock solid theory has been completed and thoroughly tested it is then sent to the President to approval. Since this can take quite a while my colleages and I like to talk about it on public forums. Once the President is finally finished going over the theory and has okayed it for public use it is then sent back to me. I call my mother again to get her approval since she's good at this kind of stuff. If she doesn't appove I have to rewrite it and start the entire process again. After she gives it the okay I then let it sit in the sun for about 20 hours until it is a beautiful ripe yellow color and then I bring it inside and water it. After that I have to make sure it can withstand the test of time by placing it in an iron lock box then hopping into my time machine and going forward in time. The iron lock box has a set of instructions that one of my servants my follow. It is to be taken to my secret laboratory in the center of Arica. This lab is about 100 feet underground and is gaurded by several thousand trusted men. He then has to take the box to the secret vault. Once he has reached the vault he was knock three times and say "omisu kiam lokisn ooptu" and spin approximately three and 7/78 times. Once that is finished he must sacrifice his first born child and then the vault door will open. Once inside the vault he must pass a number of challenges that test his strength, endurance and intelligence. Once he has passed all these he will finally reach the back room of the vault. Here he must answer the unanswerable questions in life. Once he was finally completed this he must call me and said he has made it. He will then have to place the box inside 15 gallons of salt water. The problem is to get to the place where he has to put the box he must climb a wall that is over one hundred thousand feet tall. Once he has finally reach the top he has to climb down the other side. Once he is at the bottom he is finally at the 15 gallon tank and has to place the box inside. He must then reclimb the wall and go back down the other side. After that he has to take new tests of strength, endurance and intelligence just to get out of the place. Upon reaching the vault door he has to knock the entire song Master of Puppets by Metallica on the door then say "Ojuish Lakate Ohiru" and jump up and down 111 times. Once the door is opened he must track through the base and up to the land. Then he has to catch then next plane to America from Africa. Once he reaches America he is to come to my house and knock on my door and tell me that the task is done. Once I have gotten the message from him I will dress up in a wet suit and run into my closet. I will then start making the preparations for time travel. This is a long complex process that takes many hours. Once I am finished I enter into the time machine and set it to one million years in the future. Once I am in the future, where they wear wet suits, I travel to Africa. I then enter my secret lab under ground and head towards the vault. After finger printing, eye scanning and voice recognition tests I am allowed into the vault. I then climb onto a transportation machine that will take me to the tank. This trip usually lasts about 86 hours. Upon reaching the tanks I dip my head into the water for 4 minutes. Once I am done I reach in and take out the lock box. I utter a small chant that opens the box and take out the idea. I then take the idea out of the lab and send it to the high council of the future. They look at it and ponder upon it's meaning for about two years. During this time I usually visit with my relatives. Once they are done pondering upon it they will either approve or disapprove. If they disapprove I must start the whole process again. If they approve I take the idea to a team of scientists in the future. They spend a week testing the validity of it and then return it to me. Once I am done there I hop back into my time machine and head back to the past. Once I am here I have 18 ninjas waiting for the machines incase someone else besides me comes back. Since the machine is preset and the time cannot be changed it will always come back to the same time. After an action packed battle sequence with the ninjas I come out victorious since I am the only one strong enough to defeat all 18 at once. I then make my way to the computer and post it here. If anyone has any questions about how I got to that conclusion I post how. I can go into more detail if you wish.

Ok. I took the time to read all that, and I have two questions.

With such a lengthly process, that, forseeing any possible failures somewhere down the line, would take many months, or up to several years to complete, you had to know about it long before this thread was even made to make your calculations. However, since you prove that you have a time machine, I am wondering whether or not you Saw this post, made all the calculations for however many years it took, and using it to go back in time to the moment of this post, or maybe you had the time machine many years before the post was made, and went into the future to see the post, having then went back in time to do all the steps of the process so that you were finished right at the correct time this thread was started so you could post your findings.

Or you did some really powerful drugs?
