A Thread of Swag and BASED

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-11 22:28:17

This is a thread in which all things Swag and/or BASED will be discussed.

This song is swag, you can tell because it has "swag" right in the name.

this song on the other hand is BASED, because it is by BASED GOD, aka Lil B.

it also points out how similar Lil B and Messy Marv both are to Hannah Montana. And indeed, they are quite similar.

Please, Blixty is so lame.

Sosho, on the other hand, is straight up gangsta.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-11 22:46:57

I'm sorry, Vociferous. I can't hear you over all the swag I have.

Imipolex G · 2012-01-11 22:50:07

What the fuck is swag

^^A nonsense word with no meaning, similar to "sexy" and "epic".

Imipolex G · 2012-01-11 23:02:56

"tits" has a meaning, I assure you.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-11 23:09:42

No one said anything about tits. Who said anything about tits? I most certainly did not say anything about tits. I have no idea what you are talking about, good sir.

Imipolex G · 2012-01-11 23:13:03

Well, you should say something about tits. They are a fascinating and inexhaustable subject.

I wonder if tits can have swag.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-11 23:16:37

^^As are boobs.

I want to see a boob and a tit fighting over territory, by which I mean a female chest.

^Tits are like swag dispensaries.

I love that Dave is so disgust he can't be bothered to suffer their presence anymore.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-12 01:25:37

Why do they look so... Scott Pilgrim-y?

Justice4243 · 2012-01-12 01:28:13

Could be worse...

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-12 01:29:59

...Is it just me, or are some of the faces a bit weird (beyond the style, of course)? Mainly, WTF is going on with John's mouth?

Justice4243 · 2012-01-12 01:43:19

Someone pointed out that his arms are a bit huge, too.

Yeah, shame they'd screw up on the most prominent person.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-12 20:38:18

what is this Homestuck shit.

If you're going to post meme series-related swag, at least make it one of the cool meme series.

Justice4243 · 2012-01-12 20:46:12

M I DOIN IT RITE?!

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-12 20:54:20

*cannot speak*

*is traumatized for life*

Not to mention his right arm seems to be sprouting out of his back.

problem, Homesuck fan?

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-12 22:02:29

Yeah, my problem is that you like an INTERACTIVE ANIME (that's right, I went there) which is basically just paedobait.

lol, but srsly, why do people like Touhou

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-12 22:04:27

well there are a lot of reasons.

but I'd imagine that this is a big one

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-12 22:05:52

It looks like the typical generic arcade fighting game, only with every character being a little girl. :/

Not trying to insult it or it's fans, I just don't see the appeal. But, eh.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-12 22:07:35

Those aren't actually the main games.

The main games are arcade shooters, but I don't play those because they're terrible.

Also, almost none of the characters are actually LITTLE girls, that particular misconception comes from ZUN being totally unable to draw.

Tachyon · 2012-01-12 22:07:39

That's not a typical Touhou game.

Also, TRAIN.

Also, you're a ninja.

Imipolex G · 2012-01-12 22:08:13

Oh man, that Patchouli rap. I hadn't seen that in so long...

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-12 22:08:51

I LIKE TRAINS

anyway, I dunno. I don't get why people like Homestuck. It's a flash "comic" with terrible art and a plot that is as uninteresting as it is complex.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-12 22:10:20

Honestly, I don't either. I think the only reason I keep reading it is because I've grown woefully attached to a few of the characters.

That, and complexity gives me a boner.

Tachyon · 2012-01-12 22:12:06

I like Homestuck because it's hilarious, the fantasy aspect is really creative, I like the characters and the plot is really engaging and kind of like a massive puzzle.

And I find the art kind of charming. It's not so much bad as simplistic. Except when it's actually bad, then it's just part of the humour.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-12 22:18:58

That, and complexity gives me a boner.

I like complexity plenty, but I don't like complexity when what's being complexed (this is a word now) isn't interesting to begin with. I never got very far into actually reading Homestuck, but I've read in-depth summaries.

It's honestly not worth my time to binge so much *just to see* if I'll like it (I've always hated "well you have to wait awhile before it gets good" as an argument to persuade someone to like something. Even if it IS true, you show the person the good stuff FIRST in that case, not after they've already read through the shit).

And I find the art kind of charming. It's not so much bad as simplistic. Except when it's actually bad, then it's just part of the humour.

The characters look like paper cutouts.

Tachyon · 2012-01-12 22:25:24

Yes. Yes, they do. It's charming.

You can't show somebody the good parts of Homestuck first, because none of it makes any sense whatsoever when taken out of context. Most of the humour comes from the characters, from running gags or from subverting prior expectations. Without talking you through a ton of boring exposition, I can't really explain to you why Karkat getting hit with a bucket is so funny.

And I don't think it really is a case of "you have to wait a while before it gets good". It's more that you have to feel compelled to read on even though bits of it are confusing at first and you know that Hussie is just fucking with you anyway.

I mean, it does get better, but it doesn't get significantly different, stylistically.

Haven · 2012-01-13 21:04:08

That's probably the best way to put it.
