29 No-Nos for Gamers Over 30Shamelessly stolen from Joystiq: 1. Participate in LAN parties with minors 11. Choose a gamer handle including any form of the words “hell,” “killer,” “death,” or ”-inator” posted by Harry Callahan at 11:00 AM
CommentsI'm grateful that I understood very little of that. I must be doing something right. Posted by: The Warden on November 11, 2005 11:19 AM
Oh yeah, well.... http://picard.ytmnd.com/ Picard would so pwn Chuck Norris and you all know it! Posted by: isayalotofthings on November 11, 2005 11:38 AM

I'm sorry, but teamkilling is always funny. Posted by: The Apologist on November 11, 2005 11:42 AM
Don't do the game thingy... WFT is "teamkilling"? Posted by: Madfish Willie on November 11, 2005 12:20 PM
OK, I admit that I played Knights of the Old Republic and fell in love with Balista. So much so I had her play most of the game in her underwear. http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/original/1073488223-00.jpg Do you realize how hard it was to play that game one-handed? God I'm pathetic. Posted by: TomB on November 11, 2005 12:23 PM
"... Over 30". I'm over 60, are all those back in play now? Posted by: Retired Geezer on November 11, 2005 12:37 PM
Nevermind... I'm a dumbass..... Posted by: Madfish Willie on November 11, 2005 12:38 PM
I'm with the Warden. What do #6, #9, and #15 mean, anyway? Posted by: Steven Den Beste on November 11, 2005 12:40 PM
I am taking offense to # 11. Posted by: [DeathBy]Monkey on November 11, 2005 12:44 PM
Hadoken someone as a greeting, complete with hand motions and sound effects. C'mon, that's cool, right? Posted by: slickdpdx on November 11, 2005 12:49 PM
Check out the Urban Dictionary for "teabag." It has to do with nuts. Posted by: rd on November 11, 2005 12:51 PM
I do/have done 6 of the items on this list. I will not reveal which 6, though. I have my dignity. (Although, laughing myself silly over teamkilling is definitely one of them. No way that one's out of bounds.) Posted by: Phinn on November 11, 2005 01:24 PM
Hurray! A Friday geek thread. Confessions: -am way past 30 On the plus side. Did a twelve step program and have been "clean" for 6 months. Now tell me more about this Knights of the Old Republic, doh. Posted by: doc on November 11, 2005 01:24 PM
So where does scream-typing "stfu noOb" fall in? Or "wtf camping!" Posted by: Christopher Cross on November 11, 2005 01:38 PM
I only have this to add: Leeeee-roy illustrates a good way to get your team and yourself killed while acting like a total choad. Pretty funny if you're a gamer. Which I'm not. But it was still funny. Posted by: Monty on November 11, 2005 01:50 PM
Leeeee-roy illustrates a good way to get your team and yourself killed while acting like a total choad. OMFG!!!!one!!! "At least I have chicken." Posted by: S. Weasel on November 11, 2005 02:26 PM

I am pretty damn geeky, yes. I'm surprised I've restrained myself from gushing about the impending release of the XBOX 360... That day will come. Posted by: Harry Callahan on November 11, 2005 03:02 PM
So, 29 No-Nos for Gamers Over 30? Well here's a 30th: 30. Don't be a gamer over 30. Posted by: sandy burger on November 11, 2005 03:36 PM
OK Sandy Burger, admit that YOU are a gamer over 30!! Btw, I'm collecting mini card games for my site. Anybody have any good links? http://www.cardtoss.com Posted by: Liza on November 11, 2005 04:20 PM
OK Sandy Burger, admit that YOU are a gamer over 30!! No. But I am a lamer over 30. Posted by: sandy burger on November 11, 2005 04:33 PM
Maryland wants to make "upskirting" illegal. What's the world come to? Posted by: Steven Den Beste on November 11, 2005 05:02 PM
I must disagree with #9. It just shouldn't be overused. We all know there absolutely are situations where a teabagging is in order and I will continue to issue them as required. Carry On. Posted by: Silk on November 11, 2005 09:55 PM
I have won an argument in a game forum. It involved crafting a post just right that hit nearly everyone's funnybone hard, while making teh lam3 n00b look like a complete idiot, causing him to slink off, never to return. Hero for a day. Heh. Small victories. I'll take 'em where I can. Posted by: Desert Cat on November 11, 2005 11:36 PM
...lol...the only two I admit to doing on a regular basis is the teabag and 'pwnt.' But I usually reserve 'pwnt' with the following tea bag for the n00b campers who don't appreciate the finer aspects of strategy. I like to mix it with a gun salute and a good smack. ;) Posted by: mooseman on November 12, 2005 06:03 PM

Still not identified, for some reason. Per Fox 25 Boston, the killer was a non-citizen permanent legal resident It continues to be strange that the police are so protective of his identity.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.) Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right. As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller." She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2: Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Do I ever! It's all I remember! Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations. I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said. She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey vows to Somali criminals that he will not cooperate with ICE, then begins speaking in Somali
Gee I wonder why Walz allowed Somali pirates to steal 1 billion in American dollars... could it possibly be that criminal illegal aliens are voting in elections and the Democrats know it and play to that illegal constituency?
Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
