How do you know he isn’t?
Quite true. There are a lot of soldiers that play FPSes.
Too true. A buddy of mine works at a Game Stop on base, and he says they REGULARLY do thousand dollar transactions.
My brother in law is army and he has the most obscenely awesome gaming set up ever. Hes is skinny, but I could see him doing something like this with some of his buddies for a game release.
My cousin’s ex-girlfriend’s mother’s best-friend had a husband who was morbidly obese but he did something like this.
I thought he had lost some weight?
Hey! I know that guy!
Small world, pitty.
*Snuggles* It’s oral day again, Brak
Had it marked in RED on my calender…as I do every tuesday now.
It’s a bit nippy here in Asgard now, but I know a place…
*wraps cape around Nucky and heads in the general direction of Hawaii*
WOW!! Mile High Club. Goddess material, you are.
Not cool, pitty. That guy is my sister’s baby-daddy’s best friend on his mother’s side. Too soon, man, too soon.
Him? He’s the d0uche who cut off my best friend’s fiance’s identical twin’s childhood babysitter’s uncle in traffic last week. Seriously, he needs to learn some manners.
If he is, with that build he just has to be a REMF.
There is a level of physical fitness required by the US Army. This man clearly does not adhere to that standard.
Any interesting flame wars happened while I was gone?
Haven’t been around myself, but I’m sure with the The K1 back something will stir up any minute now …
The I-word keeps popping up. He was moderated once, but he keeps coming back. The same with the c-word.
lol, typical american
Hey dude, you could, like, get a new insult. Because I’m over this one. Seriously, you’re just acting like a snob. And noob. And an @ss. And many other things that would probably get me moderated if I listed them.
kthnxbai.
*pops in just to eat boyah*
*holds out bowl to Andy* After dinner mint?
don’t mind if I do
Didn’t taste very good, did it? Here, dude.
*hands Andy a Mad Doctor Cola*
Wash it down with this.
Thanks, that did have a rather nasty aftertaste.
*trustingly takes suspicious sounding drink*
typical unAmerican insult. no intelligence involved.
Aarrgghhhh!!! This is exactly why I don’t come here anymore. Soldiers, firemen and cops – all tough and noble. Got it. Don’t need to have it told to me again and again and again and…
But you should stick around for the comments. That’s where the funneh is.
Comments are a girl’s best friend.
Pppfffbbbtthhh. Comments are not going to keep me warm at night. But that $10K fur coat certainly will.
*throws red paint on HOW*
FUR IS MURDERRR11!!!!!111!#@##%345$!!elebenty!!!
MURDERER!!!
Says a walking corpse….
Time rolls on and youth is gone
And you can’t straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at PK’s
Comments… Comments…
But Comments Are A Girl’s Best Friend!
I think you missed the point of the lol.. the captioner is basically implying this guy is a wannabe. Now it’s entirely possible that this guy is a soldier, but since it looks like he’s packing a few extra pounds, I would guess that if he IS military, he’s probably Navy.
“he’s probably Navy”
Ooooh! You better put on the flame-proof suit, Eddie.
I speak from experience, HOW. In the Navy this guy would be considered a floatation device.
I don’t know, Eddie. With that much mass I would think he’d sink to the bottom immediately.
You’d think so… but I knew a guy at the Lake that I go to and I could have sworn his mass was made up of the stuff inside lifejackets. He floated w/o having to tread and everything.
Fat floats. EOS.
People with a higher percentage of adipose tissue float more readily than people with a higher percentage of muscle tissue because of the lower density of adipose tissue.
Oh, I guess that’s pretty much what you said.
Oh you mean the loose connective tissue that cushions and insulates the body and is composed of adipocytes which are derived from lipoblasts and is technically composed of roughly only 80% fat floats?
Thanks for the headache, Pitty. *pinch*
Is it that your cephalalgia or disturbance of the pain-sensitive structures in the head either within the cranium such as blood vessels, meninges, and the cranial nerves or outside the cranium such as the periosteum of the skull, muscles, nerves, arteries and veins, subcutaneous tissues, eyes, ears, sinuses and mucous membranes is caused by my post?
*head asplodes*
who left these brains lying around
*tastes*
perfectly good too, hmmmm
You can eat his brains, but I’ve got dibs on his Chick Deney.
just watch out for getting shot in the face…oh, wait, I see what you were doing there, I..uh..well still…unless you like that kind of thing *stops, blinks twice, walks away*
Hi Andy, I’m charro. I don’t believe we’ve been properly introduced. I’m the resident mermaid.
Pleased to meet you, I guess I’m the new kid around here, and I eat brains.
*eyes Charro’s tail*
Just an unrelated side note, I quite like sushi too.
You should probably not eat my tail.
Quite unrelated, I enjoy sushi as well.
Plenty of brains and chicks to go around for you two. I got more…the healing factor thing, y’know? Enjoy.
*works on brain reassembly for upcoming pun runs…leaves the Chick Deyney to pitty’s capable hands*
No but my hand twitches with spanking urges at your sassy talk…
*blushes deeply*
And my face is red, too
Ah, locallized dermal vasodilation in response to the release of nitric oxide gas from endothelial cells. *wink*
With a name like VG, you can dilate my vaso any day of the week.
Oh, I got the point – this guy is a wannabe because he isn’t tough and noble enough to be the genuine article. I just want to be amused. That’s all. Amused. Not enlightened, not humbled, not grateful. SOMEBODY MAKE ME LAUGH, DAMMIT!!!
*tickles Rattus until she falls to the floor, unable to breathe* Jeez, you’re so demanding!
Thanks. Appreciate the tickle.
She does that real good.
*winks at Nucky*
He’s not a wannabe because he packs extra pounds. He’s a wannabe because he dresses like a soldier. Dressing as the Halo guy or a Star Wars character is OK, but dress like a soldier and half of the USA wants to run you over with General Patton’s entire armored division.
I thought he was a wannabe gamer
It’s true. He dresses up for game releases and stands in line at midnight, but he never actually buys the games. He has a console sitting at home, but he’s to afraid to actually play a game. It just collects dust.
He tried playing a game, but the console said he couldn’t cut it and shut itself off.
“Spends hours looking on internet for phobia of games.”
CANNOT FIND IT!
I shall dub it, Amusemephobia. The fear of anything even mildly amusing/entertaining.
And this gamer has it. He has it baaaaad….
*goes to sit in corner and begins writing 3 short novels*
You can slap “phobia” at the end of any word nowadays. So… gameophobia would work.
But the thing is he’s dressing up for a computer game event of some sort. I dress up in various fancy costumes now and then, and if “the real thing” would show up in their work gear, it’s really them who are losing out. This “lol” misses the mark by miles assuming that cosplay means you should feel diminshed by the real mcCoy. Au contraire.
I don’t do cosplay that often, but when I do, if the real thing were to show up, I would probably faint. Of course, I don’t usually dress as someone/something found outside a fantasy novel.
The Vladurday one wasn’t bad. (And no cops, firefighters or solders, ‘less you count the Vlad.)
Okay, I went and scrolled back a few – the pope in the Port-A-Potty of silence kind of made me giggle a bit. Just a bit, but it was something.
Couldn’t agree more. This guy is the winner: all the fun of battle without worrying about getting his ass blown off. And all that sales tax pays for some soldier to do the defending.
This chubby little gamer and his tax dollars are the real heroes!
They’re SPESHUL. More SPESHUL than you could ever be! And I agree with the others – focus on the comments instead.
You don’t like to be made to feel bad about yourself and your life then, huh? I get it.
Agree with the need for more humor though.
Why would his expression be any different? I’ve played FPS with quite a few guys who were enlisted, army/marines/air force etc.
Why is dressing up and being excited about a game release so wrong?
The facial expression I can relate to, but the rest of it is pretty extreme. Did your friends put on uniforms to go buy a game?
No, I don’t beleive any of them attended the release events.
I do remember dressing up as a Jedi and having a lightsaber duel with my best friend in the parking lot of the movie theatre when the Star Wars movies were re-released. Tons of people dressed up and it was a great time.
Many of the places with special midnight releases for games have a “release party” where the fans dress up in costume and hang out prior to the store opening at midnight. I haven’t ever participated, but if it’s someones idea of a good time…have at it.
It’s not like he dressed up like this on a random Monday afternoon and wandered into Wal-Mart looking like that just to buy a game. This was a planned event.
If someone had take a picture of the Jedi party, someone could have captioned it “just look at his face if a REAL Jedi walked in.”
Psss…”Star Wars” is not real. It’s a movie. Sorry.
You take that back! TAKE IT BACK!!!
NO…THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE
I thought Star Wars was an autobiography…
and so does The Stig.
So watch it.
*Meany eyes.*
Ah well, put in THAT context, you have a valid point. I wasn’t thinking about release parties. OTOH, I have been to midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and yeah, people dressed up made the experience a lot of fun!
Rocky Horror midnight shows are great fun too! They make me shiver with antici….pation.
Has a sad because I have never had that experience. They stopped the midnight showings here around the time I discovered Rocky
Has a sad because I feel OLD…I went to see it when it was released in the US. *sigh*
Has a sad because I have it on DVD, and it’s just NOT the same as at a midnight showing.
Does NOT has a sad, because I have been in the Rocky Horror Show on stage twice.
Once as a party guest and once as the narrator.
It was fantastic!
*Does the Timewarp….again!*
Has more of a sad becuase she can’t spell her own name right.
Fro f*kc’s saek.
(Oh my, I just discovered that they’re moderating variations of the f word that we use to get around the moderators …)
Gee, I hope fu(k still works!
Aaaaand reply button fail. *sigh* Well, I know it still works!
Wow, seriously? I double checked and made SURE I clicked reply that time. And I am looking…and I DID hit the reply link this time. PK is having some sort of out-of-body experience, it would appear.
I replied to Ivan’s fu(k and it didn’t work – duck this!!!
You replied to Ivan’s Fu(k? I hope you got Shorty’s permission first.
she didn’t…
*is cranky*
So do f bomb variations cause the rb to fail? Let’s see…
Nope. They’re just phucked.
what about feck?
FFS! This goes under nukcy’s comment …
Really? I thought it was kind of kcute
Is it also cute that I can’t spell “because” properly? Or should I just use the cleavage and butt wiggle to distract from my spelling?
Only if you pounce on your prey after the butt wiggle.
Always.
*muffled voice*
help!
Wait..no…never mind.
It’s a COSTUME…a freaking COSTUME!!!
You know, for fun…like Halloween. I guess people are not allowed to have fun unless it’s completely true and accurate to real life.
Make sure when your kids want to dress up as a soldier like daddy for Halloween that you give them a real sidearm, because a real soldier would never wear a replica pistol into combat.
Good grief.
You seem a little riled up today, Steve. Is the evil one still coming over your officemate’s computer?
Yah, I want to give TS a huggle.
Rush on the radio in my office was actually a minor annoyance simply adding to the other things I’m dealing with right now.
Why is it when our pets are terminally ill and suffering it’s ok for us to put them to sleep so they don’t have to suffer, but people we love have to suffer slow painful deaths that we wouldn’t wish upon our worst enemy?
Good question, Steve. I know if it was me and I had a terminal disease, I would want to be allowed to die with dignity. I think the idea of assisted suicide sticks in some people’s throats. Call it Death with Dignity and it wouldn’t sound as bad.
I feel for you, friend..
Oh. *hugs* It really does suck.
*hugs squared*
Sorry, dude. That sucks.
*hugs*
So sorry you’re having to deal with that. It’s a horrible experience.
*more hugs for TS*
*hugs and snuggles Steve* So sorry, babe.
*hugs* for my fellow Wisconsinite. I’m really sorry for what you are going through Steve.
All my most powerful good wishes to you, mate. It does stink.
The Dark Dragon God shares your sentiment… *manly hugs*
My sincerest condolences Steve. May the best you can wish for, happen.
P.S. @ DWN. You don’t know me, but you made me 5 euro by being a regular poster back in the day. I apologize for interrupting this somber moment, but I would just like to say thanks.
Cuz the lawyers won’t let them…..
Shakespeare was right. (Except for Diss.)
Well, technically, it’s not the lawyers per se but our stupid legislators who pass the laws regarding such things. While some of them are lawyers, others are not!
Ouch. Empathy and bad memories. ((((HUG))))
I’m sorry honey.
I’m really sorry, Steve.
My reaction to the whole “lol”, too.
This is disturbing on many levels. Just goes to prove that games like these are purely recruitment games for kids to enlist in the military. There’s no reset button in real life.
Because you know, little boys never played army before computer games…
*snerk*
Sexist! Little girls played soldier games too….
“Computer games don’t affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.”
*looks up from munching pills* Wino, the glowing pink ghost is chasing me again!
*hums mario theme song to himself*
*looks up and sees ghost* Eat the BIG pill! Eat the BIG PILL!!!elebenty!!!
*runs after ghost, waving net* Come back here!
*tosses Nucky an orange*
Oh, how I love the Japanese! This is what I was imagining- click
So all the things that we were told would happen to us because of video games will happen/have happened to the Japanese instead? Sweet. *goes back to video games*
Uuuhhhmmm…WHY ARE YOU IN MY HEAD???
However, that sounds strangely like a early 90’s rave you’re describing.
Or a rave in any time period.. Not that I’ve ever been to a rave.
One of my favorite bands has taken to covering portions of the Zelda theme song. Makes me think of this quote every time I hear it.
*is confused* What quote?
Sorry – the original quote ^^^^^^^^^ on this thread, the one that HOW was referring to
Oh.. Sorry brane not working well right now.
But now that it’s explained, it’s funny!
I.. Uh.. I’ve certainly never done that. Ever.
Sure there is!
*hits ctrl-alt-del*
Oh, dammit. I’ve got no teeth, I’m in a diaper, and I can’t walk yet. *sigh*
*restores last known good configuration*
We need to work on that.
Just don’t try that with Vista.. you could get an Unknown Configuration error and end up like EWAdams.
Oh the horror!
I wondered why I have urges to scalp people occasionally. Must be from playing cowboys and indians so much as a kid. Twit.
I personally suffer from a strong urge to traverse the united states in a covered wagon due to a childhood exposure to video games.
don’t die of dysentery, ok? and it’s a lot harder to ford that river than they made you believe… and ALWAYS buy the extra wagon wheel.
You have lost your oxen in the river again, DU.
The extra barrel of water will come in handy if you decide to take the Southern route.
I never played Oregon Trail in school, but they have it out on the DS for all you nostalgic people…
Ok while it is true that the US military has dabbled in the creation of videogames (see America’s Army) to help recruit, I don’t think the same could be said about Modern Warfare 2 or the Battlefield series, besides AA was/is a popular game but its hardly increased the number of recruits.
Its like saying GTA is a recruitment drive for criminals or God of War is a recruitment drive for god killers, Final Fantasy is a recruitment drive for angsty teens with big hair and big swords to save the world and so on…
What’s next for your outdated thinking Cruiser? Rock music is a conduit to satanism? Pop music makes you think impure thoughts? Is classical music turning your thoughts away from service to the Church?
“Rock music is a conduit to satanism?”
Uh-huh-hunh.
I am not a satinist!
I heard you were into percale..
That’s knot true!
Hey, weave me out of this.
A pox on those devilish gavottes and sarabandes! Nothing but evil can come of them!1111!111!!
Link in my name to an article about a car thief found in his home…playing grand theft auto.
Well, as a matter of fact there was an article in The Age today about how Sony and Nissan ran a competition on the PS3 to see who the best player was in Australia on Gran Tourismo 5. The winner gets to go to Silverstone in the UK and gets to participate in a racing boot camp with the goal of becoming a professional driver. So there are instances of video games being used to recruit.
Halo is there to start preparing for us for the alien invasion by the Covenant. I’m sure of it.
You know. He could have been losing the weight the whole time he was making his costume.
I know what? Oh! I think you meant to put a comma instead of a period.
Riiight, Eds, then it makes toooootal sense.
I know What, he’s in my math class but I never talk to him.
I know what he’s. He’s a dim fellow with underdeveloped punctuation skills.
I don’t know What, but I once met a Who.
Roger Daltrey or Pete Townshend?
I wish I could have met Keith Moon.. that guy was a nut!
He just has the look of I live in my mommy’s basement kind of guy……
You know this from looking in the mirror?
While having your way with the life-sized doll you made out of Legos?
*thinks about sharp Lego edges and shudders*
Sort of like of large, ribbed, inside-out female condom.
*ponders*
*also ponders…is frightened*
*holds tenderly, then bites*
*doesn’t resist. Not even a little*
That is an abomination unto Legos! You should be ashamed for having besmirched the great name of LEGO with your innuendo! *cries*
I hit a nerve did I? It is okay…
What’s wrong with living in mom’s basement? It’s both environmentally and fiscally responsible? Plus you don’t have to go through the hassle of trying to get friends to help you move.
… or friends at all.
Or move. You can just. stay. inert.
My worst nightmare-a child with no non-virtual life of their own……
At first I was like “OMG, a fellow (but chubby) Airsofter!” But then I realized his Magpull parts weren’t attached to any mags D:
I cried a little inside.
and he needs a stupid guide… just 2 days ago i finished the campaign on veteran and all spec ops with 3 stars, by my self.
That makes you special, right?
It makes him an idiot. Nobody plays modern warfare for the single player…the whole point is shooting OTHER PEOPLE….then calling then noobs to make themselves feel better about living in Mom’s basement! *nods*
Hubby plays it online. He’s rather freakishly happy with himself when he beats his online buddies in kill vs death ratios.
I’m such a sorry-ass FPS player that anytime my kill/death ratio is over 1 I’m happy because that meant I wasn’t a liability to my team for a change.
I hate FPS. We just got a new 3PS for the X-Box that’s pretty sweet….Gears of War….I can actually play it. I suck at it, but I can play it.
….I think I may have found someone to play against.
I can tell you how I know he’s not in the military…THOSE ARE AIRSOFT MAGAZINES, not actual M16/M4/AR15 mags…..plus he’s fat as all hell, hence why he is wearing what looks like spandex camo instead of his issued BDU (if he were in the military).
ZOMG!!! SEVERE NESTING FAILURE! What’s wrong with PK today?
Did someone get moderated?
Well, I for one would be OK with having this guy serve with me. Why would the enemy bother aiming at little old me when they have the fail whale there to aim at!
to see a real soldier, scroll up.
Is anyone less disturbed by the uniform, than by the Strategy Guide he has?
It’s a, FPS! Point, spray till it stops twitching, repeat. Credits roll!
uh… yeah actually… i kinda pointed that out 7 posts ago…
YAY, another one of my captions got in!
I’d like to thank my supporting family, who made this all possible, and the people at Punditkitchen.com who voted this pic up, and the wonderful folks at ICHS who made this site in the first place, and my dog, Ruffles, and… Well, I’ll just sit down now.
Ok, we’re happy for you, can you try to be funnier next time? I mean, at least this one wasn’t like.. Really preachy.. But it’s not exactly funny either.
ZOMG! That’s not a real soldier! Did you guys know that? I know because I’m in the army.
Wouldn’t a mermaid be better off in the navy?
That’s very specie-ist of you. Stop trying to hold back her dreams!
Empathy is restigmatized by before of an apathetic political prospective clarification of the specific classification of phonetic individuals. Individuals exposed to this type of clairevoyance pertain an of a before type of obliviation otherwise unnoticed by resulting onlookers.
I see what you did there.
Don’t worry, ma’am; I’m from the Internet
You can tell this guy’s not a serious gamer. Didn’t get the Prestige Edition of either the game OR the strategy guide. Pfft. Guess he blew all of his money on the costume.
Or and since when did strategy guides start coming in two versions? I have the Prestige Edition Modern Warfare guide and the Collector’s Edition guide for Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2. I’m not complaining. The little extras are worth and extra five pounds, but it’s a bit confusing. Are they a recent development?
Wow, that was a bit typo-laden. Note to self: type with two hands next time.
*Oh, and since when did
*little extras are worth an extra five
Hmm, so you found this picture a turn on then? Interesting psychology you have there.
*laughing* I guess I walked into that one! XD!
Yes, they’re a recent development. Video games companies and strategy guide publishers have found ways to bleed gullible schmucks for a few extra dollars (or pounds/DMs/euros/etc). It’s silly, really. *goes to play special edition of Halo 3*
@charro, I noticed he wasnt army as well and i’m in the legy. Where we battle Samus Aran in our Lego suits!?!!
Uh oh, my Jedi powers are showing.
I uh. Yes!
Raise your hand if you’re an army brat that can list all the things wrong with his “costume,” lol – ugh, if you can afford to waste your money on video games then at least shell out for a decent looking uniform…
No, don’t. We don’t care.
Riiiiiight. ‘Cos if you’re a gamer, you need to have a perfect looking cosplay uniform to go with it. *goes to work on Mjolnir armor to play Halo 3*. I think I’m pretty well screwed if I’m gonna play Bioshock 2. No idea how to make that costume.
Good thing other people are crazy ebough to make one and give step-by-step instructions too.
(If you mean Big Daddy, ofc.)
Ho. Ly. Sh!t.
Oh, sure, it looks awesome, but do you have any idea how hot it’s gonna be when you wear it at comic-com?
Oh, silly me. Of course a site with a BABY KILLING word will be moderated too. I can’t link to it, but will write it like this and you can figure out the actual link…:
(Moderated post:)
“I’ve found lots of marvellous costume building stuff via a favourite site of mine, peniseyed. (Called so much because its creator’s name is Rob Peniserham. Strange name, but there you have it.)”
The game sucks anyways…. Battlefield BadCompany2 tops Modern Warfare any day!
Except the fact that it hasn’t released yet…and the fact that it’s an EA game, which means it will certainly blow goats. But aside from that….
Been playing the beta, actually the game is amazing!
So. We seem to be victims of a newly extended filtering of supposedly harmful combinations of letters?
I don’t see the point. I’ve never seen that work in making a discussion climate better (rules about not being allowed to use language which would normally be considered bad is far more efficient). I cannot see how it would do the trick here either. All it does is make harmless words suddenly unusable. (Penising your gun and things like that.)
All the most offensive posts lately have been offensive because of content, not because of usage of any “naughty” words.
I dislike this decision massively. I think it’s ****** *******.
A FEW words I can see blocking (racist terms), but you’re right. It’s people’s content that is usually offensive. But I am embracing ‘penising my gun’ next time I go shooting. I suspect I will have the entire range to myself.
I can see why sites/communities/chat areas might want to ban any form of curse words, bad language or unpleasantness. I don’t agree with it, because really offensive manure is independent of the four-letter words, but I can see the point. But. An automated filter that catches certain combinations of letters is just a bucketful of fail though. It’s been tried before, and I’ve yet to see a successful implementation. It’s marvellously daft.
It’s ridiculous (and I’m glad that word doesn’t have a ‘k’ in it or it’d be blocked!).
I think after we go to the range to penis our guns, we should go back to the house, have some penistails, and watch that Will Smith movie about the superhero — Hanpenis?
Afterwards, when trying to fall asleep we can reminisce about the trip to Svaginahorpe and read Astrid Lindgren’s wonderful children’s books about Mapenisen!
You know who I can’t stand? Penis Cheney.
Oh, I just remembered that you can’t say his first name on here either.
*sblackpersons*
Okay, took me a sec, but ROFL.
OK…this should have showed up under pitty’s post stating that we should use these words often. It’s also being moderated. Oh, the humanity!
I understand what the poster was going for with this. I work security. A la rent-a-cop. When a real police officer comes in I hang my head in shame.
Petty Officer Stark…is that you?
I think we’re missing the point here. Why does he need the game guide for MW2?
Whats about (0(K?
Or maybe ƒu(|<?
A look of pity, maybe?
You can no longer us the word “di(k”. Which sucks if that’s your nickname.
We still talking about EWA?
This blows!
…So, Cheney no longer has a first name? What next? Sorry, can’t use Bill, it’s an insult in Brazilian Portuguese.
Can’t talk about c*cktail parties, either.
What the hell all is blocked now, anyway?
Apparently not ‘hell.’
I can now report that sh!t, however, is. We all know about fu(k, D!ck, and C0ck. Anything else?
I think it makes the most sense to use fu(k, D!ck, and C0ck in every post we write.
