Support NeoGAF

[Freshmaker]

This happened to me in a class last semester while I browsing during a class.. I sort of mumbled some stuff and walked away. I didn't mean to come off as a total creep but I was sort of taken aback and didn't really know what to say - I mean, what do you say?!

Feed it pizza. Then ask, are you cut? Do you wipe standing up?

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I actually do have some experience with this. Sort of. One of my mates added me to a private group for our WoW guild on Facebook. The most awkward thing about it is having to decide whether to call them Goataborter or just Jeff.

 

[Callo Merlose]

I'd honestly reveal my identity to them. I just won't do that at meet ups, though. In that case, I'd just introduce myself as a lurker. My GAF past is too unruly to just be open with people.

 

[Dresden]

I think it'd be nice. I remember looking at halo stuff in a school library, then this girl just came by and asked me for my gamertag. We played together for a while then stopped for some reason.

Was she attractive?

 

[Dresden]

Was she attractive?

No, she was quite large. Very nice, though. We were bros.

 

[TheKaeptain]

You know, I actually wish I lived near some of depressed-age GAF. Some of those guys could really use a fuckin' friend.

Yep. They all live in the middle of fucking nowhere though.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Yep. They all live in the middle of fucking nowhere though.

A pattern. I sense one.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

A pattern. I sense one.

Exactly. Correlation does equal Causation in this case sadly.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Assert my dominance by giving and forcing them to eat a sprinkled, frozen banana.

 

[ZealousD]

I've got 2 or 3 buddies who I suspect are gaffers just from the memes they know about and laugh at... It seems to coincide with GAF memes of the week an awful lot, but I've never found the courage to ask. I don't want to be the guy that goes up to them and tells them I'm a gaffer too. It would break the fourth wall.

Very few memes on GAF are uniquely GAF memes. Unless they're talking about sunsets or Wolverine's O-face, they likely aren't gaffers.

 

[DominoKid]

theres only like 3 or 4 gaffers i'd recognize if someone dropped their name in a convo

 

[CRS]

Ask them if they'd like to go ly dow,

I'd ask what their posts per page were set to and judge accordingly.

Hahaha. Best answer I've read.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Make sure they knew the secret GAF handshake before we revealed our GAF membership tattoos in unison.

 

[Ballistik]

I remember I was working on a project with my friend and he saw me browsing and said,
"is that website that one game forum? uhh NeoGAF right?" Yeah it is...
"Oh cool I've heard of it.."

oh god maybe he's an active member and just didnt want to reveal his identity like some of you

 

[ZeroRay]

I know one guy who's a gaffer...but he doesn't know I'm also a member.

Don't wanna break the illusion.

 

[keyboardcat]

i work with 3 or 4 gaffers, mostly on the gamingside tho.

 

[Blablurn]

i would scream BAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEEEEEEEERN

 

[davepoobond]

Assuming this person didn't catch my username, I'd pose as Drinky Crow.

and they'd know you'd be lying cause any real gaffer knows that drinky crow is not one man or woman. it is a collective supernatural hive mind light being that has somehow gotten an account and memorized a password and has an email address

 

[Always-honest]

...and introduced themself as a GAF member, what would you do?

Do the holy GAF ritual

 

[Corky]

Hug him like a long lost brother.

I actually met someone who lurks here at work a few months ago when he noticed I was browsing on my phone. It was pretty cool discussing classic gaf moments, inside jokes, and current events like the GAF House Party, the JBaird incident, and the perv Woody thread. He disappeared/quit/fired/laid off before I could get his last name. Apparently he regularly plays Team Fortress 2 with a few of you guys.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

That perverted Woody thread was amazing, haven't had one of those in awhile.

 

[Chet Rippo]

My brother's a GAF member, so I suppose that has already kinda happened...
I was lurking for well over a year and one day while browsing he asked if I made an account yet. So I was like, sure I might as well.

Though if a stranger came to me about GAF, I don't know what I'd do.

 

[UFRA]

No, she was quite large. Very nice, though. We were bros.

:lol

 

[esquire]

I don't think he posts here anymore but Muttyeah (SP?) is FaceBook friends with one of my friends. I don't think I've ever met him though (I feel like I might have seen him at Hardly Strictly or some similar event but I'm not 100% sure) and even if I did I definitely didn't introduce myself as a NeoGAF member.

Also, I introduced Auron_Kale to a friend of mine who builds bikes when he was looking for a ride but I've never actually met him.

I would like to meet more GAF BROS in real life. There are quite a few of us in the Bay Area. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I've already met a lot of the SF crew via the rule of 6 degrees of separation.

 

[Dead Man]

I'd ask what their posts per page were set to and judge accordingly.

Indeed.

 

[Freshmaker]

I can imagine the Docpan thread that would result for someone staring at him and having the gall to look over his shoulder to see what he was browsing.

 

[NotWii]

I know, I'll say I'm KHarvey16!

 

[Rewrite]

I'd say 'sup and introduce myself.

lol, btkadams met Sonki. Hahaha that's awesome.

 

[Always-honest]

That is the holEy GAF ritual.

 

[Freshmaker]

That is the holy GAF ritual.

Holey.

 

[G-Fex]

I already know a gaffer

 

[Scrow]

probably something along these lines

 

[Deleted member 30609]

compare post count, tags

 

[Scrow]

compare post count, tags

i'd be all like, "i gots over 14k! what choo got biaaatch?!"

and it would end up been someone like amirox, "60k noob. eat a dick."

and then i'd be all like,

 

[Lakitu]

i would scream BAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEEEEEEEERN

:lol

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Ignore them.

 

[ConradCervantes]

If someone in GAF wanted to initiate a conversation with me in person, I'd demand that we only use our GAF handles, say "lol" instead of actually laughing, and talk shit about the mods and how cool they think they are sitting at the cool lunch table modding away over us all.

 

[BGBW]

Relish in the fact that now neither of us will be virgins.

 

[Kentpaul]

There a

 

[Meadows]

Plausible deniability

 

[ElectricBlue187]

close the window before they see my GAF platinum status

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Well, I know someone who browses GAF in real life. Sup MMARSU ;D

U guys should check out his legendary thread about a girl.

 

[dmshaposv]

ask him whether he thinks nolan is the worst screenwriter of all time. If yes, then he is part of movie-gaf. If not, its prolly dmczaf.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I'd be ok unless it was jenov or firehawk. I hate those guys!

 

[Always-honest]

Holey.

yeah.. eh.. my e was stuck.. aannd ehh.. my dog ate my homework.
fuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[Metroid]

i would scream BAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEEEEEEEERN

Let's meet. I want to hear you scream.

 

[ScOULaris]

In light of my recent backfire thread from hell, I would probably be hesitant to admit that I was ScOULaris. Some people 'round these parts seem to hate my guts, for one reason or another.

I'd probably just be like, "Oh, you're a gaffer too? I'm EviLore, nice to meet you."

 

[Veins]

Ask them what threads they like, Gaming or OT. Become GAF buddies and always quote each other.
