RE: Community Thread - Grungie - 01-16-2016 Once upon a time, there was a boy. He was 12 years old. He is dad was rich from his business and so when it came time for his 12 year old boy to turn 13 he insisted on buying the boy whatever he wanted. He thought that the imagination of a 12 year old boy might in fact humour him, even if the cost of such a present reached the millions. He asked his son "Son, a very special day's coming up", his son smirked "I know Dad". "Well, what would you like?" asked the Dad. His son pondered for several seconds before replying, "honestly Dad, all I want it 12 Pink Ping Pong balls". The Dad, curious and a little disappointed asked "of course son, but why?". His son replied "I can;t say, I'd just like them for my birthday please". And so on his thirteenth birthday, he indeed received 12 Pink Ping Pong balls. His Dad thought nothing of it until next year, when he asked his son "what would you like for your birthday this year son? A new 82-inch Tv for you toilet, or how about a new jet?". His soon blew the hair out of his eyes and said, "Dad, all I want is room full of Pink Ping Pong balls". His dad again agreed but asked "why Pink Ping Pong balls son?". His son replied "I'll tell you when I get them". True to his word when the boy turned 14, he received a whole room full of Pink Ping Pong balls and his Dad asked him "now why did you want them son". But his son replied "I'll tell you next year". Rather reluctantly his Dad agreed. The day came again next year and his Dad said "15 years old son! Your growing up rather fast aren't you? Soon you'll be seeing girls, going to parties, turning the Prime Minister's invitation to dinner and instead sneaking out of the house and going to a strip club where all the girls are in a glass cube and you just through food at them and watch them eat it....", his son stared at him. "But what do you want son?". His son ran a hand through his short hair, "Dad, can I have a semi-trailer full of Pink Ping Pong balls?" His dad, now rather worried about his obsession asked "Of course but why?" And his son once again replied "I'll tell you when I get them". His dad obliged and bought his son a semi trailer full of Pink Ping Pong balls and then asked "Now so, you promised to tell me, why?". His son opened the door to the truck trailer and inspected his produce "...next year dad, next year". His dad paused, shrugged, then walked away. As his son neared his 16th birthday his father again asked him, "son, what'll it be this time?". His son replied "uuuummm, a car?", His dad was about to agree when his son said, "actually no. I would like a 747 Boeing Jet full of Pink Ping Pong balls". His dad stared at him. This was getting weirder and weirder and more costly. His father then remembered the last time he looked at his bank account he had stopped counting at 10th zero, and so he agreed that for his sons 16th birthday he'd get a 747 Boeing Jet full of Pink Ping Pong balls. They both watched the giant jet land, and his dad asked "why son?" and his son looked at the jet, then down at the ground, then up at his father "next year dad". His dad having gotten used to this response turned and walked back to his limo. On the boys 17th birthday eve his dad loyally asked him "17 son, your nearly a man, what do you want?" His dad didn't flinch when his son replied "....a shipment of Pink Ping Pong balls". His Dad dismissed the cost of such a thing, they were imported that way anyway. As they both stood upon the wharf and watched the enormous tanker dock, smelling the sea breeze and the barge fumes, and father looked at him and his son replied knowingly "when I'm 18 dad". And so a year later it was nearly the boy, well adult's, 18th birthday. His father said to him "okay son, I've done you the honour in buying you your very first car! Actually there's several, I got you a Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Reventon, a customised McLaren F1 that can go underwater, a - " "Actually dad", his son interrupted, "I want 10 warehouses full of Pink Ping Pong balls". His dad stopped, "Okay son, for you. But I'm still giving you the cars". The son and his Dad both shook hands on it and sure enough the 18 year old boy had his gigantic series of hanger, full of Pink Ping Pong balls. Roughly 4 months after his 18th birthday, his son was driving one of his cars his father had bought him. After driving at speeds in excess of 350km/h he had skidded out of control, rolled the car and ended up being transported by helicopter to the emergency ward. He was critically injured and lay in his hospital bed, attached to many machines, monitors and medications. His father was right by his side, and when awoke he groggily said to his Dad, "Dad, I'm dying", his Dad replied "NO your NOT son, your stronger, your stronger..". "I ask one thing of you before I die" his son said. His father nodded "anything". "I want....one Pink...Ping Pong ball...". His father looked at him long and hard, " I will get it, but you have to promise me, as you have over all these years, why Pink Ping Pong balls." His son nodded weakly. And so his father left and returned with, as he promised, one Pink Ping Pong ball. He knelt next to his son and gently wakened him, "son, here it is" and he put the ball into his son's hand. "Now son, tell me, why Pink Ping Pong balls?". He son licked his lips and said "Well Dad," and then he died. RE: Community Thread - JCizzle - 01-16-2016 :haha: I expected a shaggy dog joke, I got a shaggy dog joke. RE: Community Thread - Grungie - 01-16-2016 Dont hate RE: Community Thread - Grungie - 01-17-2016 So I recently bought this game called Trails of Cold Steel (which is awesome btw), but what surprised me is how there's a ton of people who bought it (some posting pics of buying the awesome box set) and basically calling blasphemy in not calling it by its Japanese name. I find people like this significantly more obnoxious than anime fans who only use the Japanese names of shows. Most of those anime fans usually go by illegal means, and the majority of those were uploaded before it got an English name. Also there's sites like My Anime List that only display the Japanese names. Most of them don't buy any of the actual home videos or comics, so the Japanese names are all some of them know. Though I say some, as there's plenty that watches something 10+ years old where there's no other real reason than fandom challenge. The really obnoxious ones, are the ones who buy the English home videos and manga and call it by the Japanese names. Why this is worse than the others is that everything listing the physical English copies has the English names, they had to go look up the Japanese name of the show. With the former guys, they can at times be excused for not knowing the name got localized, cuz hell there's times where even I don't catch on that a show I illegally saw got localized years later. This is where the game finally comes in. Calling games by their Japanese name is even more obnoxious. In anime there's a few excusable instances I mentioned above. With games, those don't apply, unless it's an old game whose original release didn't come over, and got fan translated but the remake did come over. There's no "oh I've been reading the fan translations with the Japanese name for years" it's "I looked up the Japanese name to show off". Especially with a below the radar release, those are more prone to fandom challenge bullshit. RE: Community Thread - Mr. Grieves - 01-19-2016 im not much for the animes but that samurai shampoo is pretty cool really tho obnoxious ahneemay fans are the worst RE: Community Thread - Grungie - 01-19-2016 I just think you look like a giant tool when you buy a game and call it by its Japanese name, especially when you get very little exposure to its Japanese name. When you have to go somewhat out of your way to show off that you're a tr00 fan, that just makes you a douche. RE: Community Thread - Hank Hill - 01-19-2016 I just call it as I remember it, really. I guess in that sense, it depends on what title I'm being exposed to the most. Or whichever is shorter. Like "Watamote" instead of "No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!" RE: Community Thread - Grungie - 01-19-2016 I'm talking about games though. I outlined anime the same way you say it. RE: Community Thread - Hank Hill - 01-19-2016 Oh. Yeah I don't play enough of those. The only Japanese game I ever played was WarTech: Senko no Ronde. That was the title so ¯\_(?)_/¯ RE: Community Thread - Grungie - 01-19-2016 Also in regards to Watamote, that's the localized name of the anime in English. Only the manga uses the full name in English. |
