Primitives ... living in mommy's basement

[Buzz Clik]

I found this picture a moment ago. It's funny and reminds me of our obsessed friends from the right side of the aisle.



"I am prepared to fight until the end. Or until mom calls me for dinner. But "I'll be back!'"

Daunting!

1. Where did you find my childhood photo?

and exposed the secret identity of Video Game Man!

[Buzz Clik]

2. I love the cape and his fighting "stick" with the game controller.

Gotta figure the kid is doing this tongue-in-cheek. He really rang the bell.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. I find that pic terribly sad.

This is what we're doing to our children. Here's this kid, surrounded by a reality so bleak that he has retreated into a grotesque fantasy world in which he is equipped with superpowers and strange weapons. He lives out nightmarish dreams of killing, while mindlessly pushing junk food into his face and layering himself with a soft, numbing armor of gelatinous fat.

4. He'll be a network guy making $85,000 in 10 years.

[shadowknows69]

6. Right?

I wish I had paid more attention to what made my video games work instead of just how to beat the "boss" lol

[Deja Q]

11. They give those jobs to the Indians, and soon the Chinese and Russians too.

/cynical

:shrug:

28. its called imagination....i used to carry an old metal garbage

can lid as a shield and a stick as a sword....i was about 10 yrs old but i had fun

[Jackpine Radical]

29. And you had to make up your own story while you did it.

Your whole game, from the props to the story line, involved imagination. And you got a lot of good exercise running around doing it. It's certainly not play I object to; it's the deterioration in the quality of the play.

5. Isn't 'primitives'...

a slur against liberals from 'the site that cannot be named'?
"See" "you" on the darkside?

[Buzz Clik]

7. No idea.

[zabet]

8. ....Ooookaaay

:eyes:

[Buzz Clik]

10. snark...

;)

Let me put it this way... I no longer have a key to the men's restroom.

[zabet]

15. You are popular there...

even got this thread up over there (not posted by you). Was
just curious.
Especially with moles from there, over here.

[Buzz Clik]

17. Is obsession a psychological disorder, or simply a lack of self-discipline?

It reminds me of a funny story my American History teacher told the class when I was junior in high school. (I knew this wonderful man years before taking the class -- he was the father of one of my friends. He was also the wrestling coach, with the typical middle-aged former wrestler's body.)

Anyway, he was saying how he took his family to France and they ended up on a nude beach. "I was so shocked and disturbed, I couldn't even bring myself to turn my eyes. My wife had to drag me away."

[zabet]

22. Bwahahaha!

The horrors!! Click away! CLICK AWAY! NOW!!
Save yourself!!! :rofl:

I peek to know my enemy. Plus I have a very sick sense of humor.
:hide:

9. What makes you think the "right side of the aisle" owns him?

[Buzz Clik]

13. If you decode my words in the OP, you'll note I said,

"...he reminds me of our obsessed friends..."

No suggestion of political affiliation of my muse. In fact, I find it astounding that you would make such a claim. I wonder why that is...

[durrrty libby]

16. Ok, I did not know I had to "decode". So you are just making fun of an

overweight, kind of sad looking kid? Is that the right decoding?

[Buzz Clik]

18. Now you're just looking for trouble.

Here's a thread where you can argue about fat people:

[durrrty libby]

23. So is that it? You are just making fun of a "fat" kid?

But wait, let's throw in some sexist remark and go full throttle.

"that he's gonna kick some ass, but he's not gonna get any?"

[Buzz Clik]

25. Nice try.

Here's a cookie. Run along now.

[Deja Q]

12. Oh, Mighty Nintenduh Warrior of the night! Use your mighty instruments!

For nobody of either gender will want to be surrogate for them!

:hide:

[Buzz Clik]

14. Are you suggesting ...

that he's gonna kick some ass, but he's not gonna get any?

[Norrin Radd]

19. An old pic.

That Nintendo Power Glove is from around '89, '90.

[Vickers]

20. Dude, it's like *vintage* and stuff.

:P

[Norrin Radd]

24. Vintage would be the game my family had --

the Intellivision. ;-)

[zabet]

26. Atari pong is true vintage. n/t

[Norrin Radd]

27. Atari and Intellivision are of the same generation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellivision

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_%28second_generation%29

First generation Pong games are "ancient relics." ;-)

[zabet]

32. Whoa!!

I have one! Does it need to be in a museum? :)

[Buzz Clik]

21. You know, there could be some big money as a geek fashion consultant.

How about this kid -- how would you dress him to say, "I'm not an AV guy in junior high, I'm a Jedi Knight!"
