Being a Gamespot veteran, I've also met a few other Gamespot veterans. First I met was covenant130 (flew down to his place in Cali and stayed for a week), and then I also met nuclearaddict (I drove to Portland to attend a keg and hang out). I've known both of these members for over a decade and still talk to them often.

What about you guys? Meet anyone on here that you ended up meeting in real life down the road?

To a certainly terrible luck.nope,not at all,only because I live way far away from the US,Europe,and Australia,and Africa,it makes me feel like I've experienced too much long distance relationships...better stop all the long distance bs. You might happen to see me someday if you were to be in my place some year.

No, however, I apparently live VERY close to the_foreign_guy, who used to be a big poster.

@KHAndAnime: Apparently. Once when I went to St. Paul to see Tool, and the first year I moved to Australia during orientation, I met some gamers. I don't remember how it came up but System Wars was brought up both times.

@PernicioEnigma: really? Have you posted in a PYP thread before? It might be of good use to bring that thread(hopefully it's locked due to thread's age),as everyone has their own ego,but the bigger the ego,the less popular one might see it..this happens very often at the old school,lots of jackasses at my old school overlooked me for the lack of something they allegedly have,yet I don't need to end up an attention tart either way.

Lucky I was only joking then, eh?

In reality I'd say I have slightly below average coolness, so I'd probably get along with you guys well.

@PernicioEnigma: socially,one man in the Internet may show what he is not in the real world,such as being a loser somewhere but not here..it's really something that should not define who you are in reality..the internet may be of use,but boasting a beyond-fictive personality in it may cause illogical ego...such as those high rise daredevils who pretend immortality exists in the real world,look at what's the end game..they're dead for being careless.

My case of being a loser in reality is that the "senior" jackassses back then thought computer/lab nerds like me don't deserve popularity.

I have a couple of nephews who drop by here from time to time. I'm not saying who they are. But, they're the same knuckleheads who argue about XBox and Playstation all the time when they visit my home.

I always imagined it's just a persona he uses for this forum, I don't think he would have much of a social life if he was really like that.

@Smashbrossive50: Yeah, @dylandr, @deeliman, @TheFlush and some other Dutch guys are all cool people so I wouldn't mind meeting them.

Would also like to meet @indzman, @davillain-, @johnd13 and some other with whom I speak to almost every day but that might be complicated unless I could meet them all at once =)

@korvus: I was thinking that it's either easy or not,due to some people need to have a valid and active visa and a large amount of cash to make things like this to happen,but what's better...PYP threads may be of good use to keep track of the person you're looking for.

Well my friends that showed me GameSpot in highschool 16 years ago were members so I guess yes I did. Other than that there is one member here that live relatively close, but we never met in real life, only talked online.

Statistically speaking, it's nearly impossible not to meet one in real life if you live in the US, although you have a smaller chance of meeting one that actually posts regularly versus the ones that simply come here to look at articles and videos without posting.

As for who I met, out of everybody that posts in OT regulary the one that I might have possibly passed by was @airshocker. I remember him mentioning a year or two ago that he was on Camp Bucca in Iraq in 2007 or 2008 (too lazy to search for the exact post).

If he was there in mid-2007 we would have been there around the same time and the camp only had a few thousand troops on it at the time, so I could have passed him by while eating or something.

I was part of one of the last SF expeditionary forces before we handed control over to the Army.
