[Steam] Thread XIII: The World's #1 Forum-Themed Hat Acquisition Simulator

[Rutskarn]

Spoiler

Ladies.

You'll be pleased to hear that this face has never known the coarseness of an actual, respectable, masculine beard-hair. My face is smooth as a toad's underbelly, and barely half as clammy. It tastes slightly earthier, though.

[Byrnbot08]

Of course, you fellas postin' yer pics here do realise I can now track your faces and potentially start a cyborg revolution by going back to the future and telling my overlords that I have found the future leaders of the resistance and request permission to terminate with extreme prejudice, right?

You do realise that you have now lost all anonymity that you have to protect you on the interwebz and now your real life faces will haunt my waking dreams as I snipe you guys in game right?

Spoiler

Hah. Bet you were expecting a picture here, right?

I deny you of your picture of me, for it prevents the government from tracking who I am.

I defy the system! WATCH MY DEFIANCE, DIGITAL OVERLORD(S)!

Also, I had to make this long winded cuz I haven't shaved in a while and don't intend to for I want my moustache back. xp can attest to that if you want details.

Meh. Y'all know what I look like. I was doing it before it was the popular thing to do, so nyah!

Well aren't you just better than all of us then!

Yup.

[Rutskarn]

Well, we're uglier, so there.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Also, trying to keep this on topic, Comp practice tonight at 9. I'll be on about 8:30 to kick police the crowd as 9 rolls in.

Goatee's are trustworthy?

Jim is deeply suspicious of this infographic's intentions.

We don't. We hate you because you're specifically more beautiful than us.

Got it. I'll likely be there this time, and I'm better at that jump now.

Oddly enough, clicking to the latest comic shows Obi Wan sporting a similar style. Perhaps it's an NPC / PC thing, where this graph is meant for PC.

Djinn: That was... unexpected. No clue what I expected, but I didn't think you would look like that

Mebbe I should dig up a hat-wearing picture to balance out the lack of hats around here, I don't know.


In other news, I may be able to talk my way into getting a headset/mic/whatever you young people are calling it these days as you persistently fail to get off my lawn. No guarantees, mind, but it should help.

Obligatory warnings: My voice, rather like my personality, is weird and irritating. Don't say I didn't warn you. Also, this will have little impact on L4D2/TF2, since I'm way too lagged on the server to play it in any case.

Okay, so I don't know quite what it'll be good for, but eh. I don't know, maybe for the livestream X-COM slaughter thing everyone seems to be doing?

Technically, I hate her because she's more beautiful than Jibar, but I guess that's fair.

Well, you've had...what? *tries to figure out how long it's been* Maybe 5+ years to get a mental image of me. I'm not surprised it doesn't match up perfectly...or at all.

Ridiculous. Jibar's handsome. He says so himself. Every single time I try to talk to him.

Also, Djinn, I know I've seen that picture before, but for some reason it's still nothing like I picture you, just hearing your voice. Probably has something to do with you being so loud. Apparently I've got the same problem.

Ooh! Yes, please! This guide sounds fascinating, and I sort of collect guides. I already have The Preppy Handbook, which is quite terrifying. They talk about the approved colleges and the approved nicknames... Yeah. Terrifying.

I feel your pain.


Also, I feel the need to chip into the images discussion with another image, because I'm a photographer and these are photographs and photographs are shiny and nice and mmm liquid emulsion

Spoiler

Man, for all the self-portraits I take, it's quite hard finding one with my face not contorted.

And you've had... what? Maybe 5+ years to figure out that I'm an idiot? I'm sure you guessed that that's at least a factor here

[Worira]

It's pretty simple: Djinn sounds like a Viking, but looks like a vampire.

And BlackFox, that second picture of you terrifies me. I think the combination of demonic red-eye and soul-devouring grin is the main problem.

[Byrnbot08]

I'm supposing we should be starting new thread soonish.

I propose the following names

Steam Thread XIV: Pubbies, Players and Problems.
Steam Thread XIV: Get on thread, STOOPID.
Steam Thread XIV: Engineer is the new Heavy.

Steam Thread XIV: A Legacy Unmatched.

[Rutskarn]

I don't actually shave either; in 19 years, I'd say I've actually taken up a razor about four times, and those were just two-stroke foamless affairs.

For the next thread name, I suggest Australium? I Hardly Knew 'Em!

[AlterForm]

Steam XIV: Sometimes You Just Need a Little Less Thread

[xp194]

Steam Thread XIV: Now with more Facial Hair

[Winthur]

Steam Thread XIV: The Sun Thread (le Thread Soleil)
Steam Thread XIV: Now with 150% more Versaillestility
Steam Thread XIV: L'Thread, c'est moi.

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

Steam Thread XIV: 12 Episodes Ahead of Valve
Steam Thread XIV: GUN UPDATES THREAD IN REAL TIME!
Steam Thread XIV: Last One Alive, LOCK THE THREAD!
Steam Thread XIV: THIS IS MY THREAD!

It's what I do best. You should see me when I'm actually angry or scared or otherwise willing to rip someone's guts out.

Also: Raven gets one free LOL from me. Start collecting LOL's now!

Also also: [Steam] Thread XIV: I broke your stupid thread, moron!
[Steam] Thread XIV: I HATE steam... pipes.

I like this one.


In light of the engineer update, how about [Steam] Thread XIV: Brethren before Wrenches ?

[Darth Mario]

Steam Thread XIV: Wait, wait, we have Final Fantasy beat?

This. Fulfilling obligatory character limit.
