No, I only had a camera and a bat.soren7550 said:Maybe? The boyfriend thinks he's seen you. Were you wearing ServeBot head?natster43 said:I have met the writer of Penny Arcade, Brentalfloss, the writer for Extra Credits, and multiple people from Loading Ready Run, and got most of them to sign my hoody.
I have a big collection of NERF guns.
I made a coffee table that is pretty awesome.
I caught a Shiny Ho-Oh in Soul Silver.
Hey I think might have seen you at NYCC last year. Do you remember seeing a mediocre Frank West cosplayer?soren7550 said:I've met several internet famous people. At least sixteen by my count.

The picture he's pointing to is a doodle he did of me, Mr. Boyfriend, and the boyfriend's two friends.
(I feel bad because I don't know the other guy's name)
Not pictured are Chris Prestly and Jessica Merizan because I don't have a decent picture of them.
Look at me, I'm name dropping like there's no tomorrow! You know I must be hella important!
Right?
I thought that's what this site was for. No one in real life is impressed that I can still beat Battletoads in 3 lives and very few are impressed by my near encyclopedic knowledge of firearms and their use...
Oddly enough folks are generally impressed with my ability to piece together a PC from spare parts and get it running more smoothly than most proprietary consumer systems. Go figure, that's the easy stuff.

I want to say yes, but again, I'm not 100%. Boyfriend on the other hand... well, he's busy at the moment, so I can't ask.natster43 said:No, I only had a camera and a bat.soren7550 said:Maybe?

I have a totally super special edition of Commodore Hustle from LRR. It's the Riley Edition, Good Guy Graham (which should totally be a meme by the way) signed it for my buddy who went to PAX and I couldn't make it q_q
A few years ago I collected all 108 Stars in the first 3 Suikoden games without a guide
Also beat Suikoden 3 (with all 108 Stars of Destiny) without sleeping
Can I brag about not having much to brag about?
Captcha: In stitches
Dear Captcha: Stop reading my mind, its creepy, and you are NOT Skynet (at least not yet anyways)

I can have multiple orgasms in one session (as a guy, mind you). Of course, no one ever actually BELIEVES me.
When I was a kid, I could beat Mz. Ruby with the controller behind my back...while not even facing the TV.
You know the classic game "Out Of This World" ("Another World" in Europe)? The cinematic sequence at the beginning?
I've memorized the passcode Lester Knight Chaykin uses to get into his lab.
Surprisingly, this does NOT land me the honeys.
[small]It's 4511932. May you have better luck than I![/small]
Also, I am quite nearly a god when it comes to arcade light-gun games. And yet I have not a single worshipper!

I can boast and brag about EVERYTHING I do, even if it's totally inconsequencial, the fact that I tend to do it in jest just makes people like me more, like "HOLY SHIT! I JUST OPENED A CAN OF SPAGHETTI-Os, THEN MICROWAVED THEM IN A BOWL WITH HOTDOGS CUT UP IN IT! I AM A MASTER CHEF FROM THE LAND OF FOOD MASTRY!!!!" shit like that... At random, why? Cuz I'm awesome at everything, because when I do fail, it's always epic, I've failed at getting ready for work hard enough to break my left big toe bad enough that it is nigh unbendable now, I've failed at reaching the toilet to throw up in it hard enough that I fractured my elbow in the process... Stuff like that. Neither of those incidents stopped me from working the next day though. I'm magical.

Maaaaad jealous, he's one of my fucking heroes.
OT: I wish I could brag about how awesome my boyfriend is, but he lives in another country, so in most situations if I brought him up it would just be kinda awkward for me and everyone else involved. Also I'm a really good writer, so there's that.
Ummmm. Hmm.. The most recent one I can think of is that I hold a World Record time on one of the Tracks in Shift 2, along with a Regional Best drift score... Yay me...
I always ranked "Gazelle" on Simpsons: Road rage. My highest score was 1,200,000+ dollars in one game.
One time, I was playing one of those arcade games where a flashing light travels down a line of lightbulbs set next to a ticket amount and you have to hit the button to stop the light on a spot. This was like my 5th attempt and I knelt down to put more coins in the machine, and I tried to push myself up by pushing against the game's counter. I accidently pushed the button without looking and it landed dead center on the jackpot bulb.

Anything that I feel is braggable is stored away for relevant conversation in which to make an amusing anecdote. Waste not, want not.
I was just sat outside my window at 5 in the morning listening to this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1vosnN53GFU], smoking my pipe and I saw a shooting star, made a wish and now I feel fucking content about the world and like everything's going to be okay. Everything. (No I'm not high, it's not one of those pipes)
