10 Ways to Get Out of the Friend-Zone!

[axlryder]

You mean like endless threads about feminism, sexism, and how the ending to [Game] was the worst thing to ever happen in the history of ever? Or more cynical whinging about how [Game we know nothing about] is obviously going to be terrible because of three screenshots? Or even more cynical whinging about how the next generation of consoles is going to be the worst one yet?

The apparent decay of the community aside (it's been a while since I actively posted), I seem to recall actually funny/creative threads floating around here at some point in the past. It would appear all that's left is the footprint of those halcyon days.

Your simplification of humor is even more amusing than the attempt to prove I was trying to simplify it. While your example of sarcasm surely passes for it, there are many more complex and subtle ways to actually use sarcasm, quite a few of which intersect directly with satire as the two often enjoy being bedmates.

I feel like you even stating this means you kind of missed the point I was making.

I can understand balking at the subtext of mockery present within this thread, especially since it's such an easy target. But if you've seen the forums in the two-and-a-half years you've been here, you shouldn't be kidding yourself by thinking that The Escapist forums are above anything when it comes down to it, and every now and then people just need an outlet to vent steam. While certainly still being potentially insulting, a thread like this is far better to my mind than another thread ceaselessly bitching about this-or-that-objectively-terrible-thing-which-is-actually-subjective-but-logic-can-go-to-hell.

As I said before, there used to be solid humor threads around here. Do you remember those Food threads that the Okami guy used to post? Those were good.

Don't just listen to Taco, take it from me. These totally work!

Just a few months ago I was friendzoning men left, right and centre but they took these tips on-board and now I turned my feelings for them on like a tap!

Thank God they pointed out how much of a douche my old boyfriend was after speaking to him for four seconds. I wouldn't have realised otherwise, being a stupid woman and all.

Now it's out with the old treating me wonderfully with candle-lit meals and back-rubs and in with the new lack of affection and watching them play games all day.

Life is really great!

This is why you listen to the almighty penis people. EeveeElectro knows what's up! If you catch my dri- sweet, bungee jumping Erebus... The friendzone thing still going on huh? Thanks for the info. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to my bunker. Non assholes feel free to join, drinks, popcorn and cheesy movies will be available. Please leave all memes at the door, Thank you.

By the way, What in the name of Nyx's taint hairs is Euphoria?

OK, I am going to Nerd The Fuck Up right now. Be warned.

I'm guessing that since you referred to Erebos up there, all-powerful god of the mono-black devotion deck who is second only to Nylea in being wickedcool, the Nyx you're referring to is that of MtG. As in the awesome Nykthos, shrine to Nyx, which rocks out with its cock out in my green devotion deck.

AFAIK, within the lore, Nyx is actually the place where the gods live, a la Olympus. Hence the next set being "Journey into Nyx". As such, it doesn't really have a taint, and thus no taint hairs. HTH, HAND.

OT: I don't really have anything on-topic to say. I'm just a Magic geek and a pedant

I don't actually know anything about Magic the Gathering. I was talking about Erebus and Nyx two of the original four or five gods who were birthed from Chaos (the great void which preceded the universe) in ancient Greek mythology. They're basically the grand parents/uncle/aunt to Zeus and all of them in Olympus. Originally I was originally going to use Jeebus, but I thought Erebus sounded better.

Way to take all of the nerd-winds out of the sails on my ship of geekery :-(

Sorry 'bout that, but hey at least you learned something interesting about the beginning of the most deranged gods ever. Seriously ancient Greek mythology is one of the more fucked up mythologies out there.

Wait... These aren't pussies.
