SERIOUS CALLS IN THE REAL WORLD ABOUT A STUPID FUCKING GAME

That's how you know this is some serious shit going down.

Edit: That damn innuendo.

 

[Shard]

Who the fuck calls about this shit?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Ha! She said IRL irl.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

She just said IRL

Who does that in everyday conversation?

 

[Crash Station]

Stop. Defending. This. Crap. Writing.

To be fair, some people get REALLY into their game roles in MMOs. It just doesn't usually happen to so many people that are (portrayed as) socially well-adjusted.

 

[Rewrite]

LOL Omg. This is fucking hilarious.

I
R
L

 

[Levyne]

I'm gonna go barf irl

 

[Zonic]

I.R.L

THAT'S A TERM GAMERS USE, RIGHT? VIDEO GAAAMMMEEEESSSSS

 

[B-Dubs]

That would be a great plot line from a better writer.
Of course, the SAO writer is a fucking hack so........ yeah

Yup. It's too bad, it could be really cool too.

 

[Moaradin]

"IRL"

FUCKING NO.

 

[TheChits]

Okay, intentional or not, this show finally got a laugh out of me.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

How dramatic

 

[Amikami]

This is so sinister. So many people are going to die in the game.

 

[Jintor]

These guys are really into the roleplaying

what it reminds me of is EVE corporation warfare, actually, except fucking stupid

pffft, that dramatic tension

 

[Dominican Power]

I don't even know what's going on.

 

[Tenumi]

IRL.


Really?

Also, what happens if they lose power while they're in game?

 

[Raxus]

LOL. This dialogue. Oh no, not the signing ceremony. What's that?

 

[BassForever]

I'm laughing IRL and online at the same time LOL

 

[LOLDSFAN]

I'm watching this show IRL.

 

[Branduil]

LOL dramatic lightning strike.

 

[The Silver]

she really just said IRL, this show, damnit this show.........

 

[foxuzamaki]

IRL

IRL

fite me IRL

 

[BatDan]

Good point.
And the people that get too deep into the roles don't look this... attractive.

 

[Shard]

Video games are indeed serious business.

 

[bigkrev]

As stupid as all of this sounds, doesn't IRL stuff like this happen in EVE Online? There are some crazy stories about it

 

[daveo42]

Damn this thread just imploded.

 

[Schadenfreude]

SO SRS! Meetings and wars and shit.

 

[789shadow]

WE HAVE TO STOP THIS ATTACK ON A NOT REAL PEACE TREATY

 

[TheOGB]

I can't handle this shit

what the hell even was that call

 

[grandjedi6]

Doesn't Kirito suppose to be saving someone/?

 

[Man God]

As stupid as all of this sounds, doesn't IRL stuff like this happen in EVE Online? There are some crazy stories about it

Yes.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Cait Sith.

That's not just FF terminology, right?

 

[Raxus]

GAMES!

 

[BassForever]

IF WE DIE IN THE GAME WE JUST RESPAWN

 

[ThatObviousUser]

This show is STILL going on. I've been watching KH vids for the past 20 minutes, I coulda sworn this should be over...

 

[B-Dubs]

This sounds so fucking dumb. So fucking dumb.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

You see this whole war thing being set up right now?

Spoiler

It doesn't lead to anything major or important.

 

[Mr. Patch]

This game is super serial

 

[Beelzeboss]

my wife can wait

it's time to roleplay

 

[Schadenfreude]

Risk your fake life!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

fite me IRL

I'm a dirty beater IRL.
....Wait that came out wrong.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

YOU DO NOT GET TO PULL THE "IT'S JUST A GAME" CARD YOU FUCK

 

[Jintor]

As stupid as all of this sounds, doesn't IRL stuff like this happen in EVE Online? There are some crazy stories about it

I just don't buy alfheim online as being that complex, because it's presented as being mai generic mmo 24x30.

Now an anime based on EVE politics, that'd be awesome.

 

[Bio-Frost]

To be fair, some people get REALLY into their game roles in MMOs. It just doesn't usually happen to so many people that are (portrayed as) socially well-adjusted.

She wants to fuck her cousin/brother. She is not THAT well adjusted.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Good point.
And the people that get too deep into the roles don't look this... attractive.

Well unlike in actual SAO, these are avatars so everyone looks attractive.

 

[Shard]

Yea, EVE Online stuff is riveting to read, SAO is not.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

"It's just a game in the end."

Duuuuh. Stop taking this so seriously! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

[daveo42]

Doesn't Kirito suppose to be saving someone/?

He's off chasing digital poon tang.

 

[789shadow]

WHAT

WHAT

 

[Crayolan]

I'm still wondering why we haven't seen any other Spriggans yet. Everyone just seems to hate Kirito.
