[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5108519, member: 18701"] In general, I haven't met too many gamers that I thought were funny. Silly....yes, I've met a lot of silly gamers. But most of their humor is either in-game silliness (childish humor), or they quote pop culture jokes, which neither makes a person funny. But hey, if it makes them laugh and have a good time, then it doesn't really matter. I agree though, it can really kill the mood of the game when people do that, but what can you do? I just let them laugh and hope that I can get everyone's attention back into the game by roleplaying my NPC really well. Doesn't always work, but that's my goal :lol: I have one friend who would giggle like a little schoolgirl at every single comment made in the game that could reference sex or "fart" humor. He would giggle and say, "Heh...penetrated you're resistance", or "We have to go down the shaft...hehe". I only laughed because I thought it was funny that this grown man would never miss the opportunity to do this...EVER. Even when I didn't even see it coming, he caught it and had to point it out. I did start countering this by playing a clip of Beavis & Butthead laughing. So when he'd say something like that, I'd play the mp3...it at least helped me deal with it :p [/QUOTE]
