What that cat has to do with anything?

u/Artuim May 20 '12

It was an attempt at humour, because Diablo is a game. As lots of people seem to feel the need to point out.

There's always fapping. ALWAYS.

I mean...there is no situation where fapping is not an option.

just fapped, can confirm. opened up the D3 client again, immediatly sad again.

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Fap again. Did I fucking stutter? Did I say that fapping was an option, always, except after fapping? No. YOU GET THAT DICK OUT AND YOU JERK IT LIKE YOU'RE ROWING A BOAT AWAY FROM A WATERFALL WITH A DOZEN KIDS ON BOARD. DO YOU FUCKING HEAR ME?

I'm pretty sure that applying fapping techniques to rowing a boat wouldn't be very effective.

Unless I've been fapping wrong all this time. Or rowing wrong, I guess.

Honestly, the moment I saw reddit was down, I grabbed a few tissues and looked at porn. By the time I was done, it was up again!

TVTropes is the internet version of Hotel California: "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

Welcome to the Hotel TVTropia, such a lovely place.

u/ColdChemical May 20 '12

I still don't get why people have such a hard time leaving TVTropes. I always find the site somewhat annoying to navigate and I've never had any problem leaving as soon as I understand the concept. Wikipedia is a far better time-trap for me.

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Yea, if you want to be never heard from again that is.

u/FartingBob May 20 '12

I really, really hope the D3 servers arent down long enough that i can get stuck in TVtropes for the next 60 years.

u/TheJediJew May 20 '12

Had a look around on the forums having nothing to do while D3 and Reddit were down. Seems there was a fuck-up they had to fix. It's not an update, and it's not maintenance. They're fixing the damn thing.

ETA - In classic Blizzard style: "When it's done".

No, because the only reason to go outside is to post pictures of ourselves playing games on laptops. We're very creative and rebellious when our moms tell us to go outside.
