You people do realize it's staged, right? You can clearly see in the sidebar he's videos are "mad nerd" steriotype. I don't know what I found more entertaining, people thinking it was real and being SHOCKED, or the video itself.
once there was a big dude who tried to get loud wit me at a friends bookstore over some bs so i got loud back and powered up vegeta style and he never got in my way again,might makes right.
The Magic fail video is staged. The big guy in it does a series of videos where he plays on popular horrible geek stereotypes. Some of em are pretty funny actually.
What venue was this? (Former Detroit native here).

The player who pulled the knife was banned from the venue (for cheating and trying to fight me and another player) and as far as I know he is not doing well (homeless with a drug issue).
The gun pulling player is doing well, got his GED, got a good job, (makes great $) and is staying out of jail. Not something that would have happened if I had call the cops.
I have players with life issues, serious life issues. To them Heroclixs is an escape. Its a warm building on a cold day, A time away from those issues. Till I have walked a mile in thier shoes I don't judge others.
* Here in the Detroit area you can't trust a cop to do the right thing. Not to say that all Detroit area cops are bad, BUT I have issues with them.
Ohhh fun
Things my players have done to me/ Threaten to do to me over rules Questions.
1. Pull a knife. I can't recall the rules call but I do recall the pocket knife that was "going to stick me". I think it may have been over Lockjaw on a diagonal between 2 figs.
2. Threaten to be shot. So I made a rules call that ended a game Play 1 thanks me smugly, player 2 tell me that I'm a dead man and goes out side to get his gun. Thankfully I decide not to leave the building and call his GF to cool him down. Cooler heads perivale, he still plays at my venue (turn the other cheek and that jazz) (I made the wrong rules call, player 2 was in the right)
3. WW Chicago 08 Guy fallows me around mumbleing threats at me over losing a roll off. Not realy sure what he was saying but he was always 3 feet behind me giving me the evil eye and mumbleing about his black belt or something.
4. Player calls Norm (Nbperp) over a rules call. Player 1 and 2 are arguing over a rule and ask me to make a ruling. Player 1 does not like the ruling and threatens to call Norm and have my judge ship revoked, no more Gen cons, ect. Calls Norm only to be found out that my call was right. (again don't recall the ruling)
Ja its fun having a super competitive venue (with Former world camp Massu and other great players) some times those guys go over board though.
I do have many more. Sooo many more.
Fun playing in a super competitive venue? If that's fun, I'll stick to having less fun at my non-ridiculously competitive venue.

I live in the greater Chicago land area and that's not Chicago Style.
Chicago Style is mustard, onion, relish, tomato, celery salt, pickle and sport peppers on a poppy seed bun!
(Cucumber used to be in there after the tomato and before the pickle.)
Or it's cutting in squares instead of triangles.
Or it's lots of cheese and marinara on top.
Having grown up on the south side of Chicago on 46th St back in the 80's, you better believe that I will sucker punch you in the back of the head with a brick, bat, pipe, chain, whatever.

New motto:
If a mod deletes it, it never happened....
I saw an interesting array of events happen...
We were all playing a free for all game and this one kid about 12 ish (really good Christian) starts whining about what we did to his team and he was gonna attack us next (his team was full health and nobody did anything to him). He does minimal damage to a character on my team then looks to a friend of mine (he's 13) and says "look I'm attacking your friend what are you gonna do about it"
Now my friend isn't tolerant and has the same level of obscene vocabulary as an adult. My friend tells him "dude shut up or I'm gonna beat your ###"
the 12 year old replies with "you can't hurt me I have the armor of god"
My friend says "You're a joke!!!!!!"
(it was pouring down hard rain)
And at the exact moment he said this a loud thundering could be heard...
We all laughed it off and the 12 year old went and crawled under a table in the feetle position"

Why're you talking in past tense, Vato? You don't live here anymore??
I think you can get Home Run Inn delivered to you anywhere in the country! You just have to reheat it. The same is true for Lou Malnati's and Portillo's!
I grew up on the South Side of Elmhurst, so I'm gonna shut my mouth now. But what you put in quotes sounded like the people I ate lunch with often, so maybe I'm not as suburban as I thought.
I remember one fight at my venue. There were two players...let's call them E and K. E and K have been friends for years.
OK, so E and K were playing against each other. E had brought a cheesy team (as usual) and was playing against K's theme team. E's team basically starts decimating K's team and K starts getting really upset. He starts yelling at E and calling him out on his cheesiness. E starts yelling back and they start getting into a big loud argument. The rest of us in the venue are just watching. The yelling goes on for a little longer and then they start into shoving. I wanted to stop it, but I was mesmerized by the fighting. Well...the shoving goes on for a little bit and it culminates into a trading of...saliva.
They start kissing each other. Not just simple kissing, but it was a full on tongue bathing. They're going at it like a scene from The Notebook. It was beautiful...and kind of disgusting. These aren't good looking dudes.
The rest of us at the venue are just stunned. I think we all sort of suspected, but to see it all culminate into the scene in front of us was quote shocking. We're just watching this...beast with two backs, with jaws agape. Some actually went outside and vomited a little.
Anyway...the kissing and heavy petting goes on for about 5 minutes before it finally ends. E and K look stunned. It seems as though they couldn't believe what happened. Luckily I recorded the whole thing on my phone, so I ran over and showed them what we had to endure watching. They seemed pretty OK with what happened. I think it took fighting over Heroclix to take them to the next level of their relationship.
We then finished the tournament and E won 1st prize and I gave K fellowship.
The wedding is in 6 months.
This story..... I almost died laughing. I think every Realmser that has seen this has stopped for at least 3 seconds and just been like 'Wait, WTF DID I JUST READ?!?!' lol

I can get the frozen pizzas here in Middle Tennessee at some grocery stores, but its not the same.

Well the quote is from Cypress Hill, and by the time that song came out I was already living here in TN where there were no vatos to be found at the time, and most of the people who listened to rap music where former good ol' boys who were pretending to be gangsters. The ones you really had to look out for were the ones who listened to country and belonged to a certain "social club" that liked to dress up like ghosts. I feared them way more than any gang banger. Some of my best friends are former gang bangers with very violent pasts.
And just a disclaimer, I would never really resort to violence over a game of heroclix. That is just the lamest, stupidest, most ignorant thing that I ever heard of. I am really having a hard time even conceiving it. If I was ever really threatened with violence, I would just get the employees of the venue involved and have the person become their problem.
I guess that I am pretty lucky that the group I play with and the area that I live in now is pretty laid back. Last time I played we had a 1800 point all figures legal throw down, so of course I dust off (literally) CM Galactus and proceed to bring the pain. First match I square off against someone else who also brought CM Galactus, and proceed to win the game through better dice and better tactics, and by better tactics I mean that I took advantage of single target pulse wave Cosmic Multi-attacks. The next two matches both players ended up conceding the matches after just two turns of Galactus abuse. Neither player was a bad sport about it, and even though they were upset, they still remained civil about it. I could not ask for a better group than that.
Sorry to derail the thread a bit, but the worst thing I ever witnessed was the judge yelling at a guy who was being a bad sport who kept conceding game after game when he would miss the first or second attack of the game.

Figured that out after I responded, great job though, seemed legit.

You know the funny thing? It seems so legit cause we've all met gamers like that. Especially gamers with that whiny nasal voice the guy in the video is perfecting.
