Support NeoGAF

Haha, man, I fuckin LOVE Sean Baby. The guy is a total asshole, but he's my kinda asshole, so it's all sheezy. I was just reading his most recent article in EGM where he's describing the kinds of gamers. All of these relate to GAF, but the best one is probably the category "4-UM TROLL"... which I will now retype for your pleasure.

4-UM TROLL
============
Games Played: These vary from nerd to nerd but are always associated with an irrationally extreme emotion. The same game that devastates one message-board-foum troll's entire life may very well be the one true love of another. What these nerds have in common is that their opinions one way or the other causes them to hate everyone else who has ever lived.

Appearance: Due to the foum troll's reclusive nature, no one has ever seen one. Based on traces found in message boards, however, experts speculate their fat asses sound like this when they try to move: "Blglggblargoooo! SLOP! SLOP!"

Diet: Forum trolls survive solely on the brief acknowledgements that they exist from people who don't like them. For every forum poster who disagrees with their wildly disagreeable madness, the forum troll gains 1d6 hit points. If the disagreeing party seems angry at the idiocy of the forum troll, it gains another 1d6 hit points and secrets a fungus from its armpits. This fungus is treated as a level 9 gray pudding with an intelligence of 4d6.

Special abilities: If the surrounding characters all make their Ignore Dumbass saving throw, a forum troll has the ability to switch identities and go back into the forum to disagree with themselves under a different name.

Weaknesses: Forum trolls must make a saving throw against suicide if no one on th emessage board seems to care that they hate Mario Golf. This saving throw is at a -4 penalty if someone points out that they spelled "Golf" with too many inches of exclamation points.

One of the funniest things I've seen him do was going back and regrading old games... he gave one game the score of a troll surfing on a hotdog. It was funny cuz in the scores list on the page, it had all the numbered scores and then in the middle of it was a picture of one of those Troll Dolls standing on a hot dog.

I guess he's been doing shit on G4 lately and it's been pretty amusing from what I hear.

Seanbaby's Superfriends bios on his website are absolutely hilarious.

I met him in line waiting for the bathroom at the ZD party at E3. He was even fuckin' funnier in person than in real life. Funniest thing I read from him was that top ten worst games feature. :lol

His girlfriend is hot too. :0

If AOTS was smart they'd make Sean-Baby their full time host. The guy is fucking hilarious. I first noticed his work last time EGM did their top 100 of all time list. ZD should just give him his own mag.

The Hostess Fruit Pie ad reviews are untouchable.

i love his writing but he seems like he cuts back on tv. sad.


he should scream and stuff alot more or something.

I met him at SOE's cocktail reception at E3 this year, and we talked for about 10 minutes about how we both fucking hate robots.

*shrug*

I'd like to see more variety come from him (EGM's got him stuck reviewing the crappiest of the crappy games right now, which was funny for a little while but has since grown quite stale), but he's an OK writer regardless of that. I think the funniest article he's written has to go to be the aforementioned Worst Games of All-Time feature or perhaps The Adventures of Mark Discordia.

A lot of his stuff feels like it's an ancient, already dead joke that's supposed to be amusing because of an array of adjectives he's added to it. Some good stuff, but I don't understand a lot of his praise. Whatever the case, his fanbase does warrant more magazine space.

I'd really just like to see him get his own show, his site is hilarious and it's the exact type of humor Aots has going for since forever. Alot of people criticized his screen presence, but he's been getting alot better and much more comfortable on-camera. It would be such a waste to just toss him away after they do find a host.

Pretty much. "X game is about as fun as driving a nail through your penis." That sort of thing.
