There's plenty of retro and old school game groups on Facebook, but this one wins hands down because it's got a name that gives us a big nostalgic hard on. In comparison, the tamely named'Old School Gaming Club'makes us impotent, which is probably why it only has three members.Become retro arousedhere.
School is so much easier when you pretend it's a video game
Members: 143
Group description: "GPA = HP/Health Bar; Classwork = Basic easy enemy; Homework = Basic, tougher enemy; Essays/Projects/etc. = Rare, tough enemy; Quiz = Mini-Boss; Test = Boss; Final Exams = Super tough boss; SATs and ACTs = Ultra-hard, optional bosses; Senior Final Exams = Final Boss; Grade in P.E. = Strength; Grade in Science = Dexterity..."
Inactive and gathering dust, this group is still worth a visit to check out the school to videogame conversion list in the group description. The highlight, though, is definitely theStreet Fighter on a chalkboard photo. Good work. Get top grades here.
I Kill Sims When I'm Bored
Members: 469
Group description: "You know you all do it. Those Sims can't live on forever. Whether it's Sims 1 or 2, whether by fire or starvation... Proclaim your guilty pleasure."
Frankly, we don't even have to be bored.Share methods of murder here.
I'm a Call of Duty 4 Widow!
Members: 193
Group description: "Does your living room/bedroom/spare room sound like the middle of a warzone? Is your boyfriend/husband refusing to do anything that involves leaving the house? Is he sat there with the bloody stupid X-Box 360 headset on talking to his friends about 'tactics'? If so, then you too are a Call of Duty 4 widow, like me! Pass this on to other poor widows as well!"
It doesn't do any harm to peer over and see what life's like on the other side of the fence every once in a while. Especially when it's as funny as this. The comments thread is peppered with anecdotal gold from ladies properly pissed off about their 'men' playing CoD ("Why do they insist on having surround sound on while playing till 3.00 in the morning! UAV is Online Aaaaaarrrrrggghhh. Shut the f**k up").Angry womenhere.
Save Dr. Uwe Boll
Members: 27
Group description: "Fact: A petition has been circling to stop Uwe Boll - director of 'Alone in the Dark,' 'Bloodrayne,' the upcoming 'Postal,' and more - from ever making another movie. He has agreed to comply if it reaches 1,000,000 votes.... Unless the Pro-Boll petition reaches that same number. He must be saved."
No matter what you think of his movies, you can't deny that the occasional interjection from Uwe Boll makes the daily grind a bit more colourful. The dude's got real character. Hepunches his critics in the faceand claims to be"the only genius in the whole fucking business". Why would we want such a kick ass entertainer to exit the stage?Buck the Boll hate here.
It would be gay not to have sex with Master Chief
Members: 323
Group description: "This group is for everyone who delights at the crisp sound of a battle rifle, the sharp crack as a metal butt meats an alien cranium, and the sexiness that is the Master Chief. Sure, you're probably a guy. Sure, he's a guy. You know you'd tap that."
Let'sall be confused together.Direct your mantasies here.
The Dreamcast didn't fail, we failed the Dreamcast
Members: 973
Group description: "This is a group for those who are still waiting for the Dreamcast 2, for those who imported "Shenmue II" for the Dreamcast, for those who spend their Friday nights grinding it up in Jet Grind Radio, for those who know that Sonic can still kick Mario's butt any time and any place, and for those who know that the Dreamcast was, quite simply, the greatest video game consol ever made by humans."
Because there can never be enough places for Sega fans to take refuge when they want to stick out their bottom lip and have a big old blubber about a system that was killed off over SEVEN FRICKIN' YEARS AGO.Cry a river here.
Wiimote wriststraps are for pussies
Members: 9
Group description: "This is for the WiiGolf Pros, the Laser Hockey Meastros, the Mario Party Masters who have never limpwristed their Wiimote and broken their flatscreens. Here's to you, Real Men of Genius. And to you, Ivan's Mom. Mmmmm."
We're not sure about the reference to Ivan's mum, but we whole heartedly endorse the sentiment behind this group. We don't wear a wrist strap because we're not overgrown baby gamers made of marshmallow fluff and flower petal juice. Better still, after years of not being babies any more, we've mastered the adult art of 'gripping'. For God's sake, Wii is pink enough already - just grow a pair of hairy ones, ditch the bitch strap and suffer the consequences like a man.Make Wii gaming manly here.
I Play Guitar Hero With A Dualshock Controller
Members: 1
Group description: "If you refuse to play with the guitar or are just plane better with dual shock... you belong in this group."
Proof that there really is a group for everyone out there. Although, can one person actually be defined as a 'group'?Rock with the DualShockhere.
