YouTube Bonus - Shit Gamers Say...

It's hard to keep coming up with posts while I'm in NYC.  So I'm going to take the easy way out and go with posting a YouTube video.  Thanks Ryan!

Enjoy!

YouTube Friday: My Apology

Now that it looks like the dust has mostly settled in the whole NERO International thing, I think it's ok to put this out there.

Some things were said by both parties, and I think it's important to view it from the other person's shoes to see what kinds of things you should apologize for.

So here's my apology for rocking too hard.  

 Enjoy!





PS: Did you guys notice the Skyrim reference in the video?

YouTube Friday: Authenticity

Here's another video from the LARPers TV show that Three Hat Productions is trying to put together.

Seriously, if you want to see a TV show like this, I suggest you donate $10 through their Indiegogo page. They've only got a little more than 2 weeks left to raise $4,000!

YouTube Friday: Skyrim

I don't know how I missed this, but Gary Bigham is back at it again. This time, he creates a Skyrim LARP. Hilarious!

Enjoy!

YouTube Friday: 7-Eleven

I don't have cable (we use Netflix), so I tend to miss gems like this one. As the uploader states in the comments, this is a pretty good sign that at least knowledge of gamer culture is becoming more mainstream.

We may not like how LARPers are portrayed in the video, but at least we're getting closer to the date where we can tell people we're LARPers without having to explain what LARP is.

Enjoy!

YouTube Friday: I'm Such a Nerd

Today's video is a humorous one about being a nerd, and not so much about being a LARPer. I stumbled upon it searching for LARP videos, but someone used the word LARP in the comments instead of it being part of the video.

Even still, it's pretty funny, especially if you're in to manga or the Star Wars books.

However, you will have to go to YouTube, because CollegeHumor disabled embeding. Don't worry, it's not another Rickroll.

Enjoy!

YouTube Friday: Roll a D6

Sorry for the late addition of this post, but apparently Blogger space-jacked itself on some update. That's also why the previous post is not back up yet. They claim it should be coming back. I certainly hope so.

This video is not particularly about LARP, but Gaming in general. I saw this floating around on the facebooks, and found it to be very appropriate. I hate the original song, but I absolutely love this parody.

Enjoy!

Keyword Fun

I get to see the keywords people use to get to the site. It's part of Google's plan to rule the word and have all the information. That, or it let's me know if I'm getting to the site with keywords I want them to use.

Sometimes, the keyword searches are very specific and... odd. I thought I'd take the time to address some of the specific searches that people made.

yo dawg I heard you like blades
Really? I heard that about you. In fact, here's a picture of bladezz holding some blades, so you can look at blades while you're looking at bladezz.

magic weapons larp rule 7
LARP Rule #7: Thou shalt not make a magic weapon that looks like the buster sword from FF7.

can you make larp weapons out of wood and a pool noodle
You can make anything you want. But I wouldn't suggest that.

the economy stupid game
The economy is only a stupid game when you're losing.

how thick should the foam be on a full contact larp sword
If you're going for full on contact, you'll want at least 1" of foam on all striking sides, and you won't want any part of the striking surface to pass more than 1/2" through a 2.5" ring (to prevent eye damage).

How does one attain greatness? Answer: Vanquish thine enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women.

YouTube Thrusday: Minecraft LARP

Today's video is less serious than some of the previous videos, but I think it's pretty hilarious. Anyone who's played Minecraft will get some kicks out of this video. And if you don't, well, then maybe you should start playing it.

YouTube Thursday: Prehistoric Dog

I found this little gem online a while back. The metal band Red Fang did a music video for their song "Prehistoric Dog" where they start out making fun of LARPers. The band then builds their own armor and weapons out of beer cans to harass the players. However, it doesn't end how you might expect it.

The video is kind of graphic. This is a metal band, so they're not afraid to show excessive blood or band members throwing up from drinking too much. You've been warned.

YouTube Thursday: Blamimation

Alright, this one is a bit of a stretch, especially since it's not on youtube. However, I found it quite entertaining, despite how long it is.

Penny Arcade hosts Blamimations, and it was only a matter of time until they did one about LARPing. I found it quite hilarious. Check this out!

Ok so this is awesome

Generally I am not real into short link posts on blogs, but this is totally awesome and everyone should check it out.

YouTube Thursday: Chase Dat Gold

I'm not really sure why I dig this video so much. I just think it's really entertaining, and while it's incredibly nerdy, it's actually very well done. I would love to see more from these guys

"You like like a musketeer"
"You look like a gay musketeer"
"You look like my gay uncle dressed as a musketeer"
"You look like how I would imagine his uncle would look in a gay musketeer's costume"



// Chorus
// Oh, no! Here we go, with the flow (here we go).
// Chasin' gold 'cause that's the goal, or so we've been told (with the flow).
// I think we've all played that role, so I don't care what you say (chasing gold).
// 'Cause everyday we role play. Everyday we role play (ooohhhwowowohh).


// I'm not a 9 to 5'er, a daily grinder.
// I smack a wench in the mouth, just to remind her (smack her in the mouth).
// I'm not a stranger to danger. I, myself, am a Ranger.
// I got a Dark Elf and a Wizard in my crew. So, don't think we're afraid of you.

// I'm a Dark Elf, I'm my bad ass self (that ass is so bad).
// Slitting throats, killing folks, trying to be myself.
// I'm like, "Don't be mad because I'm bad." You know,
// I was born that way. It's like being gay (Uncle Larry!).

// Chorus

// Rule # 1: No hitting in the face.
// Rule # 2: If you get hit in the leg, drop to your knees and let out a shout.
// If you get hit again, then you're out.
// Rule # 3: Memorize these...(Follow these rules)

// Look at their face, see their fear.
// A puff of smoke and the wizard appears (wizard appears).
// I don't care if you stare at my wicked warez,
// my Wiccan flair, my white flowing wizard hair.

// Chorus

// Wait, is this like playing WOW?

// No, Ogre licker. I'm a real wizard kicker.
// If you snicker, it will trigger my sword to grow bigger.
// To all you WOW kids: you know what joblessness is,
// or who's job it is to gargle goblin j--- (gargle goblin j---)?
// And it's not PC in this PVE
// to diss another brothers MMORPG.
// But it aint PVP, this is you versus me,
// and I make all my weapons out of PVC.

// I'm true to this game. I got a unicorn tattoo.
// So, all you role playa haters. Is this real enough for you?
// I'm a wizard. I'm an elf. I like sparring. By yourself.
// You both suck. Rangers rule. I challenge you to a duel.

// (We're jousting on Sprees)

// Watch me hack. Watch me slash. Watch me steady, spend that cash.
// Maidens sing their siren song. Let me see that iron thong.
// Chastity belts really turn me on. Wizard staff grows hard and long.
// L to the A to the R to the P-ing. Hand to the hilt, grab the sword and swing.

// Chorus

YouTube Thursday: Live Avatar Role Playing

A lot of the videos out there depicting LARPers make me sad, but this one's just too funny to pass up on.
