I would like to stop hearing about anything that doesn't directly involve me. No more inside jokes about D&D, obscure literature, movies I haven't seen, states I haven't visited with restaurants at which I haven't eaten, or other people's love lives.
Alright, now for serious; when I made that post I must admit I wasn't in the greatest of moods, and I read it after waking up after a two hour nap this morning (no sleep at all makes me very cranky indeed) and I thought "Huh, that was rather bitchy wasn't it."
So, I apologize for the bitchiness. But really, it does disappoint me when I watch a video here and have NO clue to what it's referencing to. Or why the video was posted in the first place, in some cases. I guess go and post whatever the crap you want to post- I can always stop visiting this thread if I have that much of a problem.
I don't feel so strongly about the inside jokes and stories, although I will say that there have been a few of them where I really felt I had no place to add or ask anything, just because I wasn't there when the inside joke got started. Not so annoying, just maybe not so great to put in a forum where the point is to have group discussions. It hard for other people to comment on something that they couldn't possibly know about. I am VERY glad that people here have had the opportunities to travel around the world and meet life-long friends, who happen to all be a part of the Orangebelt! That's awesome! No sarcasm, that's incredible. ...Not so awesome when it gets to the point where several threads have shifted to inside jokes about shenanigans overseas, and I (and apparently other people) don't really see it as inviting to join the conversation.
...No bad blood? I hate the idea of getting mad at someone you only know over the internet, it seems rather silly. You guys are awesome, so I apologize for being a bitch at sometime-o'clock this morning.
Actually, to be serious, too. I don't think half of what we say is as inside as some people seem to think. most are shenanigans that could basically have happened anywhere. The stuff about the zoo wasn't obscure at all. I just plain said what happened. We went to a zoo and they had an exhibit for a squirrel. Just as implied by the post. And we saw bears having sex. I like to think that bear sex is universal. We have at least 3 groups of people here. Ryan, Andrew, Tanya, and I. I guess it's agentcel and his underage friends (sorry if I got that one wrong), and, of course, mario and the other crazy Californians. I'm equally lost anytime people talk about D&D or WoW. I've never played either. There are tons of inside jokes from everybody and there are going to be times when people don't fully understand. Even if they think they understand. IS and TWC references are getting to be pretty obscure by this point.
EDIT: I've observed enough to understand that nat is like base stat (I think) so I have a severe disadvantage in any endeavor as I will only have 1 to add to whatever I roll. What those numbers speficially mean is still a mystery to me, other than that the higher, the better.
Behemoth, tis why it never bothered me as much. Most of the stories you start talking about are explained, and I'm cool with that. There were only a few that were just kind of left as is, and it never happened enough to get me all that bothered.
NO! Nobody's good. I'm angry tonight. I hate any and all 4cahn references! seriously, those are the only ones that bother me. I feel like I'm made a little dumber every time I see anything about charged lazors or shooping da woop. plus, 4chan totally killed the demotivational posters for me.
Actually, as long as we're getting all the hatred out...
1. DBD, that happens very rarely, and it happens with people who have been members of these forums for a long time. A little respect please.
2. I agree with Adam, 4chan references belong on 4chan.
3. Inside jokes are bound to happen, as people come and go at different times. I've been here for many years now, but I came here after the IS days. But, I don't bitch and moan when you guys talk about it. It's selfish to expect people to always cater to your specific interests.
OKAY THATS IT I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY YOU MAKE MY LIFE VERY HAPPY AND I DONT KNOW WHAT ID DO WITHOUT YOU ARE WE OKAY NOW???

Hey, guess what? I was here before the OB was the OB. I've known Jakey, mario, Tak and all the other regulars since the IS boards. So don't try and pull rank on me ok. Just because I lost touch for a while because of lack of internet doesn't mean I'm some new guy who doesn't know the ropes.
That being said, I LOVE YOU TOO GUYS. LETS NOT FIGHT.
I didn't ask for your story. I know you've been here for a while. I never made any mention of seniority in my comment. All I meant was that we're not a bunch of random people who randomly appeared to start esoteric conversations for the sake of obscurity. We're all people who have contributed to these forums and to the community for many years.

come on guys I'm trying to get this thread back on topic, and I never thought Mario would be on the off-topic side of things.
Really guys post video or post comments on video. I posted on the most interesting thing about me: that I listen to two very different sub-genres (parody and revolutionary hip-hop) and I don't get one responce, I'm going to bed. See you all tomorrow.
