I'm getting too much enjoyment out of Modern Angel popping capilliaries everytime someone says "steampunk" to do that. I keep waiting for him to show us on the dolly where the steampunk girls didn't touch him.  I think I know this one!

Just for reference, here's a list of other things that are popular with nerds that are manifestly terrible: Star Wars, anything by Joss Whedon, D&D 4e, quoting Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Rocky Horror Picture Show, anime. Things I like: Mystery Science Theater 3000, Venture Bros, long walks on the beach, YOU!

Smelly nerds don't quote those movies constantly, thinking it's the height of hilarity. NI? NI? HAHAHAHAHA! SAY IT FIVE MORE TIMES! SAY IT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

He's right about anime, though. Grown-ups should get beyond cartoons.

Texhnolyze, Serial Experiment Lain, Bokurano, Saikano just to name a few plainly say you are wrong. You know what? I'll throw in Hachimitsu to Clover and EF a tale of Memories too. Mentioning Miyazaki or Takahata, or even Anno, would be overkill, so let's not.

So, animes are dumb and MMORPGs are grown-ups stuff?

Oh, hey, going back to May here... my wife was showing me something in two magazines: Jewelry Artist and Art Jewelry, to which I replied "People's Front of Judea?"

I loved Arcanum. This looks atrocious.

Subcultures making fun of other subcultures, always good times. Too many really great stuff has been brought up in this thread, Difference Engine being the best and Powerfist time traveler Lincoln being another for anyone to say that Steampunk just outright sucks. Nerds dressing up is usually pretty  but I've never understood the SA/4ch hate except that they all wish they had the balls to put themselves out there like that. I wasn't reading this thread back when MA and Draegan were making asses of themselves. Too bad. Now that I realize how long ago that was I'll stop here. This game looks pretty awful, was it 2d before (that blog linked on page 1) and now its 3d? What is the story here.

I agree but I suppose that's off topic.

I toyed with it for a couple of hours. I didn't meet a single human in two hours. A single one. Ann offline game would have felt less lonely. The city is bland and repetitive. There are minigames scattered around and some of them are nice. I struggled to get somewhere outside the city and see if there's any kind of combat implemented but kept bouncing against the town wall and closed gates so I got bored and quit. There's potential for some coolness, but it all feels too 2003 and too alpha.

There are some people around now. The game is utter crap.

I had a pretty sweet bald, pot-bellied character in SWG, but that shit is superlative.
I like the use of the reverse-myspace camera angle to accentuate his shape, too.

That's almost Anarchy-Online good. Meaning: I had a pot bellied bald man wearing panties and fishnet stockings.

I wish I still had the pic of my favorite SWG character, Weezie Jefferson. A fat elderly black lady with awful makeup and a blond afro that ran around in grannie panties and red high heels, toting a knife just in case she had to 'cut some sucka'. Good times at the cantina.
