Man, I totally agree that people that wear Team Jerseys out about town are douches. I don't agree that they are faking at being true fans.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
IDK I know enough Ohio State fans at work who dress up in all their Buckeyes shit who couldn't tell you a single starting player that isn't the QB or star. Always seems like the ones who know the most about the team aren't the ones constantly trying to show off how big of fans they are on Friday.

Team jerseys are the standard male dress code for probably 25% of Dallas. We have a guy at work that has Longhorns hats, jeans, boots, and a belt buckle.
I mean I do think it's pretty weird that your co-workers are dressing up as Buckeyes fans without watching or enjoying anything about Ohio State football.
I think what you are telling me is that Dallas is filled with douches, right?

Not like they got married at 18 though, aren't they both 30? Especially with them having some issues with that they need to start working now.
You may think it is weird in this but I bet if you asked these sloppy nerds wearing their Zelda themed shit in public about stuff about the games outside of very shallow game knowledge they wouldn't know it, either. I mean youcanenjoy something by just being a casual fan of it but many of these people define themselves as "gamers" which would imply a deeper understanding of the subject. It isn't too dissimilar from people wearing OSU shit on Fridays because everyone wants to be apart of the movement. I get it. But I think these casual fans would figure out the line and not have OSU streamers as their wedding. The only gaming themed item of clothing I own is a Starcraft Terran t-shirt but that is only because I watch 20+ hours/wk of the game and my wife bought it for me. But I didn't have anything gaming at my wedding despite being a huge nerd for as long as I can remember.

And I think that's how a lot of people feel about newer "gamers". Hard to tell without getting into indepth conversations with each person. But, as popularity for something rises, so will the amount of posers.
Also these people generally will watch the games. But they watch it for more of the social aspect of getting together with people and the excuse for the party and dress up is the background noise of a football game going on.

You guys might have gotten lost in my sarcasm. And we're also kind of back to square one. Nobody has a Buckeyes themed wedding if one of the partners isn't really really into the Buckeyes. This isn't the same thing as wearing a shirt that you think makes you fit into a group you want to fit into.
I get the argument though. Casual = poser. It's not new, and it's not unique to video games. Everyone is always threatened by the fact that someone when someone who isn't into something as much as they are wants to take ownership of it. Just because you are a super serious fan of something doesn't grant you exclusive ownership of it either, though.

I can imagine it now. Noods and wife sit down at GotG2: The re-racoonaning. Noods wife is 9 months preggers but he wanted to see the movie and she was too timid to speak up. The previews start. Oh cool the new TMNT2 film by Michael Bay where they tear down the North Korean regime. That looks like a fun romp. All of a sudden the water bursts. Noods looks at his woman with contempt. "This bitch just spilled the $9.50 jumbo Coke I bought her." She starts to sweat. The contractions are getting closer, more intense. Involuntarily she starts to breathe deep. She makes a cry. Noods looks at her with panic wondering if anyone else in the theater heard his wife's rude sound. Ah good news. No one is looking. Nood's wife sits there quietly for the remainder of the three hour movie. Quietly and patiently as the ending credits roll (Noods wanted to wait because he could have sworn Generic Ship Actor #3 was Gene Slack) his wife leans over and says "Meet your new son."

Also about "nerd" culture becoming "cool" now, it makes me think of the renaissance fair down here in southern la. Due to GoT and it becoming the "in" thing the fair has easily 3x as many people as it did 3 years ago, but even more than that. When I went last year they had a bunch of people wearing the furry animal tails to signify they are a "furry". I doubt anyone actually wearing one knew that it was a trend started by people to signify you are down to fuck animals.

People who txt at the movie theater, as well as the moms that bring along their three month old screaming baby should be hauled out back and waterboarded with popcorn butter. The latter particularly inspires murderous rage in me.

So I know that the ring talk was a few pages ago, but a girl I know got engaged over the weekend and posted a picture of it on Facebook. She comes from a pretty rich family, and while I wouldn't say she's a gold-digger in any way, she's definitely got expensive tastes because she's just never known any different (she's a teacher, and drives a Cayenne her daddy gave her, for example. I would be fucking embarrassed to roll up to my school as a teacher driving that vehicle). She's an extremely nice person etc etc. Anyways, I don't know her fiance well, but he's a super nice guy and comes from money too. The resultant engagement ring is somewhat obscene:
I know sweet fuckall about jewelry, but I'm curious: how much is that fucker worth?
