Then he will ridicule someone for disagreeing with him
Then state a million reasons why he is right and they are wrong.
Then everyone bands together to overcome Hades’ wrongness
When the general consensus is that Hades is fat, and stupid
Hades will start talking about how he’s been agreeing with someone on the contending side the WHOLE TIME (EMPHASIZING HOW LONG HE’S BEEN AGREEIGN WITH THEM!)
DJ edit: What kind of bitchass parties do you go to 984.
I had fun posting in spite of sitting in front of my monitor, not because I was sitting in front of my monitor. If I had other options I wouldn’t have been sitting in front of my monitor.
Law parties. Not frat parties. I may have slightly underestimated the variety, but you must admit that bars offer a shit ton more variety than a house party ever will.
My level of fun was greater there than it would have been anywhere else because it somehow managed to get exactly what I needed.
You’re still agreeing with a different part of what I said. I didn’t say they’re good for nothing. Just that I wouldn’t go there if I wanted to be very social, which either you didn’t, or you’re just very confused and grasping at anything you can to prove me wrong for the sake of proving me wrong. Everyone knows anecdotal evidence is shit anyway, so GG.
D&D is something people do to maintain the illusion that role playing is social enough not to be an embarrassing activity, when its sole purpose is really to blunt social exposure and help people forget their lives are shit for the entire weekend.
I’m disagreeing with what I thought was the key part of what you were saying, ie, people don’t really have fun when they go out to bars they just fake it.
Apparently you were just talking about you when you said that.
My evidence was accumulated over the course of many outings at many different bars, all of which had the same problems, and I’ve heard countless people, both friends and randoms, online and offline, say they agree with me. It’s observational, but it’s not anecdotal. You “had a damn fun night at the pub last night,” and frantically claimed that it was because of the pub, without really backing yourself up on it beyond “comfy chairs” and “not having to cause a slight annoyance for someone else,” admitting that you “do go to the ones that are quiet enough to just sit and talk at…with cheaper drinks,” when I’m mostly talking about bars in general, which are not typically like that.
It’s a nice anecdote, but I’m not gonna say I’m wrong just because I don’t feel like picking apart every single person’s individual experiences, especially since, when my friends drag me out to bars, I’m not usually the one choosing.
My level of fun was greater there than it would have been anywhere else because it somehow managed to get exactly what I needed. I’d had a long weekend which was fun but tiring because i had to deal with people more than I liked to. Then I just wanted to hang out with some friends and the presence of the bar made that experience more enjoyable and convenient.
And I just noticed this, which pretty blatantly supports what I said about you enjoying yourself because of the less social atmosphere. Even I’m like that too sometimes, but when I want to go somewhere I can interact with people deeply and meaningfully, bars don’t cut it.
Yes. Yes it is. First week? We were warned not to give into abusing alcohol because there’s a tendency for the profession to be, well, alcoholics. That very same day, the LAW SCHOOL ITSELF gave us a couple of free kegs to drink ON CAMPUS.
GAP: Another thing you didn’t point out is that people talk and interact during D&D. If he said WoW, he might’ve had a point, but even then, no one plays WoW for the pretense of being social.
Also, I don’t play D&D, so I don’t know what he was getting at anyway >_>
Hades: I knew a few people who do. It’s frustrating. -_-
But yeah, that’s exactly the point. D&D is a game WHOLLY BASED on interaction with other people. The people that play D&D better aren’t necessarily the ones who can create the most powerful characters, they’re the people that can ACT and INTERACT well with other human beings, and understand how people work.
Wow. I’m typing with so many capitalized words that I feel like I’m in a comic book or something.
No matter what beer commercials tell you, loose women will not appear on your doorstep the second you open that can of bud light. There is, however, like a 2% chance some will appear at the bar when you do. You might think…well, what is 2%. But a lot of vegas games survive and make millions and millions of dollars for their casinos on a mere 2%. It’s also enough to keep the hordes coming back for more weekend after weekend.
