What single piece of media (a videogame, movie, song, tv show, etc.) completely locked you in as a fan for life?

[guest]

Honestly, listened to OnA every day for like 8 years straight. Little did I know Jimmy, Ant, Opie, Vos, Burr, etc. were all faggots.

Probably MDE/Sam Hyde in 2015.

I was hooked on Sam when I watched the TED talk he did. People say he isn't funny anymore and I disagree. This is hilarious to me

I grew up mostly watching people play videogames, it wasn't until my uncle bought me GTA 1 for the PS1 that I knew I was gonna be a fan of gaming for probably the rest of my life. Even if I'm not playing a game, I can still enjoy watching people play them.

GTA 1 completely floored me at the time. I was 10 years old and it was the first mature game that someone got me. He didn't even know the game existed and bought it because I said how cool it was. I remember getting home and he let me boot it up right away as he went and did drugs out back with his buddies and I played for about 4 hours nonstop.

How bout you all?

Watching Carlito’s Way made me love Puerto Rican people. Louis Guzman

Would you have sex with a Gardevoir?

The first time I had gay sex. Oh, media? First time I watched gay porn, then.

I bought a Fender Jazz Bass when I was 18 and never put the fucking thing down. I can shred like Eddie Van on bass even tho I'm mad wiggerish.

Fallout 2 which was the first game I ever played which would let me be a true piece of shit. I could gun down children and leave their bodies in the street. I could sell my trusted companions into slavery. I fucked some crime lord's daughter in his casino and then I fucked his wife too. Before that my only exposure to games were cartoony Nintendo ones and I always thought they were dumb.

The new ones are ultimately boring because they pander to parents groups and there's too much money at stake for them to be controversial.

 

[O&AWOWSTICKERSTOP!]

I really hate to admit it. But… The Opie & Anthony Show.

Beavis and Butthead was big for me. I was young when it was out and my older brother and I would stay up late to watch it. At that age I didn’t pick up on the satirical angle so much and was influenced by the type of “everything sucks maaaaan” 90s zeitgeist that Beavis and Butthead parodied.

I also collected and played Warhammer 40k because of a magazine my brother bought when I was 7. The pictures in it looked so cool to me at that age that I’ve nerded out over it since. Shit is expensive nowadays though and I don’t have time like I used to.

Until my cock fell off. Stupid red-blade-thing-chested hooers.

Hahaha, holy shit!

Annoys me to admit it too, but we're almost all here for exactly this reason. And sadly, I think it's impossible to replicate now, so it might be lost to time.

 

[IanHalperin]

The reason we're all here.

Radio: I think the Homeless Shopping Spree or the Sex for Sam (year before St Patrick’s) locked me into O&A.

Games: I was really into the Resident Evil series for a while. When that fucking licker came through the glass in RE2 it legitimately freaked me out, and I got hooked.

Music: This will be seen as a gay choice, but I listened to Ten a lot when it came out and that cemented my grunge fandom. I liked the other major groups too, and I still listen to all that shit from like 91 to 95 to this day. I can’t stand anything from Pearl Jam after 2000.

Sports: This counts as media and watching Randall Cunningham is what sold me on football when I was kid. Yes, this is another gay answer.

I like how he's putting up money for charity to fight that Turkroach Hasan Piker, and he's ducking him.

WWAW the Gears of War franchise? I started with the 2nd one. I’m not really into that kind of category of game, Read something about the storyline of the franchise I really enjoy.

His excuse is pathetic. "I don't want to give a platform for Nazis" or some shit. What is he afraid of that people will realize Sam is right about his kind?
