^^ Told you it'd be awesome.
^ Yes, but unlike a sitcom, we can turn off one-another's company at any moment. The fun here is in the real bullshit.
Indeed, out of thousands of and millions and even more, yours will be the unique snowflake.
I think our ratings dropped after we lost Chagen. Gives you a good idea of what our audience is like.
^^^^ . . . I'd probably be the one to ruin that metal band.
^ Losing Vorpy and Tnu couldn't have helped our ratings, either.
I'm not sure; Chagen had similar responses to a lot of things but at least they were different. Tnu had the exact same response to many different things.
Vorpy, however, is probably an audience favorite.
Who could ever forget Myrm's passive aggressive snipes.
>checks this thread again
>sees the derail
I don't even know...
This derail reminds of the long-running sitcom planning thread that was in yackfest for a while, for a show that would star basically everyone who wanted in but would be focused around that Sand Josieph guy or whatever his name was...and who even knows what happened to him anyway...
The idea of an IJBM sitcom holds no interest for me. It's like how some of my friends were, back in freshman year, pondering briefly how our lives would make for a decent comedic slice of life webcomic and I was sort of like "Nah..." and in my head was like "Fuck no, it has to be an epic genre-bending anime in which a great deal of us are ridiculously overpowered mages working for the govenment, but also just normal college students..."
And in my head it still is! (Trust me, you do not want to know, and there's a reason I have not shared this much with anyone.) Yay derails! I think I need more sleep!
Those who seek knowledge are often met with knowledge, those who seek wisdom are only met with tests of knowledge.
Pretty unbalanced if you ask me.
I don't actually post to 4chan all that much, to be honest: most of the memes/mentality is fed to me through the bros I still know from to whole anti-Scientology-protest/pubcrawl.
Look, either way you are going to have your chest collapsed when somebody swings a bass into your body.
If there were ever a sitcom about us I would probably be the dull background character who has no real quirks and gets phased out in favor of more WACKY characters.
Alex,
Let's all go to New York and be a reality TV nerd sitcom.
Hey, I would be up for it, never been to an anime convention before.
Okay, maybe I am not being totally serious about that, but I do wonder what an IJBM meetup would be like. Are people's online personas actually much like their real life ones or is it mostly just an act? How many IJBMers are really just bots/sockpuppets?
You know what's wrong with wacky characters?
You can't relate with them - Public.
I started to answer this about myself, but then I realized I suck at self-description, so then I couldn't.
I'm mostly like myself online, but in real life I am usually significantly... calmer. Less rage-y, although a bit more prone to doing stupid things.
She's also not mean.
Or at least, I'm not really selfaware enough. But I guess... Kind of similar? I don't usually consciously try to present my self differently online.
I thought that was covered under calmer.
It's not like I try to be more rage-y online though. It just... happens.
Not really. A person can easily be calm and mean at the same time.
But I'm not usually mean when I'm not annoyed or angry.
I'm actually much less calm in reality. On forums I have time to reread my posts and stuff.
But it's always nice for people to fill up their information books with more information.
^^^One hopes.
Anyway, there is zero difference between internet me and real me.
Rereading my posts and thinking what I say through is a thing I should do.
I mostly only do it out of a semi-obsessive fear of looking dumb >.>
I already know I am dumb, so I don't have to worry about that.
I think I'm generally more genial and joke-y eye are elle. Either that or mopey and depressed.
GMH - I've never actually visited a fan convention, but generally anything where crowds of people you don't know are going to turn up is really weird to attend on your own. I've had that experience at other people's weddings, for example. It helps to take friend(s).
Seconding the idea of "IJBM: The Sitcom", although of course it must be in London. I could be the characters' landlord or something, like Rigsby from "Rising Damp" (on the off chance anyone's heard of that). Otherwise it would look completely odd to have a random mid-30s guy when the rest of the cast is about 20.
For the love of God, don't write any scripts though. That's just too troper.
Last year I went to SMASH! with my sister and three of her friends from school. For the most part I wasn't quite sure what to do, so I just followed the rest of the group. Didn't really have a lot of fun as a result.
This probably won't really catch on since I can't think of many IJBMers in Sydney who have an interest in Japanese culture, but what if those few of us arrange to... meet up at SMASH! this year? I dunno, it could work.
