This is embarrassing to watch even though I'm not a participant.

So is this some kind of documentary?

Re: Preview for Lord of the Nerds.

I'm amazed that they have one member of the cast that's somehow charismatic (the bearded big guy)

[Dis]

I don't get it?

what's going on? why are they doing this?

[Japher]

I think I would watch it if filmed like a documentary

I will laugh the whole way through

but I find subcultures like that interesting


8d8 for Lightning bolt right?

From what I can tell these freaks are known as LARPers. Not as bad as furries but pretty low on the nerd hierarchy. I’ve only recently discovered such people exist.

Emphasis on sub.

I've begun to rethink this whole larpers thing. It's easy to laugh and point fingers at them.


But is it really any more stupid than actors in a movie? True, they aren't vey good actors. But they are just acting. We don't make fun of Ben Afflect do we? hmm, well that's not a good example. But you get my point.

Wait, is this the lighting bolt video again?

[Verto]

No it is a whole new level of geek.

[Japher]

I have known ppl like that

I use to play a pen and paper game with a DM who was one of those...

it's intriguing what some ppl do

it looks well filmed

hell, at least it ain't about warhammer

True; if these LARPers had a million dollar budget, then it might be a different story.

But at the same time, we make fun of all crappy B-films. This is no different.

Sam Ramey began with B-films

now where is he

SPiderman!
