Wow, I've never seen him so smug

Im not mad, im not sad, I'm pretty content here just wasting time at work, why are you people so concerned about my emotional status?

Because you're pissing in a joke thread and everyone is bemused by that

Whaaaaa waaaa

Here is me pissing some more.

Basically you have 2 options, you can ignore me, or join me.

Hahaha, yeah that's pretty much how you've been sounding ;)\

(and to your ninja edit... no, see... you've become so much apart of the joke you've forced the thread to focus entirely on you... guess what that means?)

BTW aren't all the threads here a joke?

The thread was fun while you were gone, we'd moved on but you just had to come back and piss in it more =p

Yeah you guys where having a real good time, joking around in the joke thread. You and your spider mafia connections, the jokes about Australia being a huge prison. You guys are so funny I pissed myself and then pissed all over the thread.

Ok seriously, I know this is going to sound like a cliche' attack, but wtf is wrong.
There is obviously something wrong, you have taken this all WAYY too seriously and now you're acting like a brat. No-one is forcing you to post here, but you can't just ignore it, you have to keep posting and.. I really don't know what you're trying to do here, but it has gotten quite sad.
So, whatever is wrong, and seriously, something is, you should work on that instead of meaninglessly venting here, I doubt this is helping you.

you can either ignore us

OR JOIN US

ONE OF US, ONE OF US

1 burger / 2 weeks is my average. Anyhow, I don't have any idea if you're joking or not but anyway, you made me actually make a serious long, very unnecessarily epic post. .. Here it goes.

Let the record so reflect: I do not hate America. Never have. Probably never will. I've tried to make this point clear in the past 5.5 years. I've failed horribly at it.

In January 2005 Darth Evad posted a thread concerning a bombing of purportedly innocent people in Iraq. I recalled hearing about similar incidents in the past, so I went ahead and posted this. It immediately gained some negative attention, but I thought I had done a good deed because it seemed hypocritical for Americans to complain to me about a post like that since they (read = a vocal minority) kept on making fun of other countries with worse comments. And why would they flock on to me for making that post, it's not like I was doing anything original. (Page 2)

As time went by, I started to notice the reactions I got from making posts like these. It seemed to me like most of them were "in the joke" and weren't bothered by my comments and those who were seemed to match the unpleasant Ugly American stereotype rather well. I was right in some instances, but horribly wrong in others. I recall DSettahr sending me a PM about the matter so I toned down the shtick for a while. Of course, I had already established my reputation for the next few years.



In other words, I had committed an intentional fallacy. The main point of the burgerboy shtick was to poke fun at Americans in a pointed and ridiculous fashion and that people would see right through it since I kept on using American inventions and frequented an American discussion forum on the Internet. After all, I could not have been a hypocrite! I remember telling stuff like "I don't take most of the Internet seriously" on the chat horribly often.

However, some people had managed to realize my intentions from the beginning so I considered them to be "the winners of the burgerboy shtick". AKA WOBS. These people were Emon, Spook, Antony, Tracer, mb and JediKirby.

Yes, I really had that term in my head. Urgh.

As years went by, I don't think I even remembered why I originally made that BURGERBOY post. I had become the mask. If someone questioned my jabs I'd point out how I called Brits "teaboys" and had always been critical of Finland itself. Uh huh, sure.

Now, the fall of the burgerboy shtick can be attributed to two threads. This one made me think that people still hadn't got the "burgerboy shtick" and I had to keep it on forever until they did. In retrospect, Jon`C is mostly accurate in his post about me even if he might have had different motives for posting the thread. Well, it's in the past now but I still wish I hadn't made him mad (how I should have been more supportive of Sith II could make its own thread).

Anyhow, come THIS POST and I finally realized that the whole act stunk. If one of the "winners" had changed his opinion from "he's just weird" to "it's a stupid shtick but you're taking it too seriously" to "you're right, he's a moron".. well, maybe it was finally time to stop beating the dead horse.

So what about the aftermath of the Burgerboy Shtick? Apparently BobTheMasher still has me on ignore, can't really blame him for that. Myself, I thought the 1.5 years I spent on working on TODOA also gave me a lot of time to think about doing some other things instead of bickering on about crap on the Internet (besides working on a level for an over 10-year-old game). So I keep on making some burgerboy jabs there and there but I sure hope I don't appear malicious anymore. I don't really know, no one has really addressed the issue since 2008.

Which leads me to this thread. Kroko's original post reeks of baiting and shticking, so I decided to "join the game" and post one of my classic burger gifs. Apparently zanardi has a real issue with this, and I can't really blame him. I just hope I can make my point clear by outright stating that I don't want to appear malicious with my burger-related posts anymore, but of course there will always be the intentional fallacy.

I just wanted to let you all know the true E! story behind the Burgerboy Shtick. I spent too much time typing this so it's full of grammatical errors and so on, but I think I owed an explanation after 5 years.

So.... this is all Nikumubeki's fault!

kill the finn!

Ok sorry for acting like a douche. I guess I had you all wrong FGR, I missed those key moments in massassi history. Thanks for posting that. I suppose it seems to all fit in place now with krokos post.

I don't know why it took years for FGR to let go of that shtick, but I'm also not sure why people took it so seriously. Yes, it's tired and old but there was a huge difference in his overall attitude compared to people who actually hate North America. Remember Matthias Welander?

Yeah but I still read every relevant post you make! For the record, I don't find you any more annoying than anybody else here anymore.

Wait, people thought Niku was serious about burgerboys?

FGR is just an achievement whore.

Is it so hard to believe something was misinterpreted on the internet?

Thanks guys.

For those who don't know The Tale or need their memories refreshed, here's The LifeBuilder and Death 3D of Mattias Welander.

I AM A WOBS!



i left off the s, whatever. SCREW YOU SNOWBOYS

(nvm)

pure massassi thread

teaboy!

I can still see your edits

Yay, I am one of the enlightened ones!

What is Finland?

Nobody cares, that's what.

That's just uncalled for, Michael MacFarlane.

You should be sensitive to people's feelings.

It's this country in the north of Europe. It's free, for now. Until America decides different.

SNOW YOU RACIST

Damn straight. This here is amurica.

If you get told you suck once, you don't care.
When you get told you suck over and over and over, you care.

You suck over and over

Can I please have my title changed to WOBS recipient?

Thanks.

I hate how I was just trying to have a cup of coffee in my living room, and someone just appears and snaps a photo.

yeah except this isn't funny.

Really, I get what you're trying to do Krok, but after finishing reading that, my first thought was "Dang, I was hoping that was gonna be funny."

To be entirely serious, you're probably right, Sarn. Enough people have noted that it's not actually funny. See a lot of things feel funnier in my head than they actually turn out to be, and the end result of that is about half my posting history and also why I don't intend to quit my day job as an unemployed person.
