How awesome would it be if there was a stupid-complicated game that fully required a setup like in the first couple shots?

You know, it's creepy as is... but it being the same character makes it soooo much worse.

I knew a guy who was in love with Lain once. True story.

He was a very philosophical type, intelligent and thoughtful, but mind-numbingly insane. He gave me long diatribes about how the love he had for a fictional character was the same I had for my girlfriend.

It reminded me of those teenage vampires who insist they're real vampires...and that we're just not thinking hard enough to accept it.

A lot of these rooms came from these places, during a contest to get in a book about otaku rooms. Japan picked up on it and took some shots of their own (the other pics in the OP).

I'm going to look into these links, because I'm almost positive that I knew the guy that the top one is from :lol :

Doesn't have anything to do with insanity though. Neither the smart guy you knew nor the teen vampires.

What is it then? A sub-culture I can't understand?

Mostly a longing for individuality. It's a sign of someone growing up.

Edit: As for Otakus that declare love for anime characters, consensus is that they want to take real-life issues away from their lovelife. That is also a sign of someone being at the brink of adulthood who's actively preventing making the transition.

wouldn't everyone more or less try "preventing making the transition" at a certain stage of his life? Otaku is obviously beyond this point IMO.

I can understand that, but this person was 20 years old. It could be argued he was maturing slowly and I'll accept that.

But as for lacking sanity, he obviously had deep emotional scars. Anti-social means I don't have to accept him in society. ha

I don't know.. I watched some documentaries where this whole Otaku stuff was the topic.

The teen vamps were a topic in a psychology class I had at uni.

I shouldn't have said teen, because I've watched several docus on vampires who are as old as their 60s. Or if you believed them, their 1000s.

Well, I haven't got any smart shit about those people.

But as a rule of thumb: If a group of people does something weird that's basically harmless, it's usually not tied to insanity. Insanity is a rare and dangerous state of mind. I mean, really rare and really dangerous..
And it usually leads to way crazier, mostly violent or disturbing behavior.
 
Some look so normal. Normal SD tvs and a blanket is not exactly setting the world on fire..

Not to derail this thread any further than it already has been, but the idea that folks who have mental illnesses are any more dangerous than the general population is just plain incorrect.

Dangerous to themselves, of course! To others, depends on what they actually do, just like with normal people.

My mother is bi-polar and yes they are.. More dangerous to themselves and to their family. That doesn't mean that they should be shunned, stoned ot killed....

Well, anecdotal evidence doesn't prove anything either way, but I'm bipolar as well and I've been less prone to being violent than several "sane" people I know.

Thought it was more well-known that the mentally ill being more dangerous (to others I mean, we're unquestionably more dangerous to ourselves) and violent on average than normal people was a myth. But...I'll just agree to disagree and leave this debate for a different thread.
 
There is no disagreement. I was really only referring to the danger to themselves, but wasn't clear on that.
 
OP should purge all the boring setups out and leave only the classic ones there. :lol

Oddly like my room.. without the bed.

46in plasma Sharp and bare wood floors in summer and a rug in winter.. no sliding door but it is a great living room for games and movies.. and Nabe parties.

Being more violent isn't the only way to be dangerous.. However, my brother is bi-polar as well and really no problem, because he admits to his sickness and takes steps to keep everything in control unlike my mother who decided that she was ok and the doctors were wrong and evil and trying to kill her.. :/
