So many people have told stories here about being spotted by other PP fans wearing noobstore gear. It had never happened to me, until tonight, and at my own home!

As I usually do when I can't be fucked cooking, I ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut. When it arrived I went and answered the door and had just finished signing the credit card receipt when the pizza boy caught a glimpse that I was wearing my 1337 tshirt and said: "Nice shirt! Is it from that show, Pure Pwnage?" Of course I was like . My first random PP fan meeting on my doorstep! So I asked him if he went to the Melbourne premiere but he didn't find out about it in time, and of course I had to mention that the guys had rocked up at the afterparty at mine and totally plugged the forums saying he should join because we have such a strong Aussie community here I'm still geeking out over it!

I saw a guy wearing the Uber Micro hoodie near Keperra Shopping Centre. During summer.

I wonder if he's collapsed on the road or made it home alive?

And the staff at EB's looked at me funny when I wore my i pwn noobs shirt on the weekend. One of them was like "wtf..." and the other was grinning and said "nice..."

That's awesome he got talking to you! Well if he joins we'll definitely make him feel welcome (and since he's a pizza boy, make sure he comes to the party in Melb... /nudge nudge)

I wish I had the balls to talk to people who I've seen with PP gear (not that I see it often) or they would talk to me. There's not much activity from Sydney tbh @_@

rofl, it must have good genes or something.

[iEnvÿ]

...During summer; hoodie. Are you kidding!? Is he from the sun?..Nah j/k. I have 99% of my brain thinking about this matter and all of the cells are telling me he just got it and he's wearing it for fashion(he must be thinking "Yay I got a hoodie me will show off!") but no offense though, I think I'd do that too if I had just gotten my Uber Micro shirt lol.

[Mares]

Lol sweet

Here in Belgium I think I have the chance of 1/1000000 to meet a guy who actually knows pure pwnage.....hope one day that I meet him

[Negative Creep]

There is a big fan of PP at my college, in my college class.

[Zanzibar]

Awesome.

I've had two 'enocunters'. One was at the petting zoo at Lands End, a guy with a Gamer Army shirt and tags on, the second was a few weeks ago. I saw a guy with the Uber Micro hoodie but I lost him in a crowd as I hunted his arse down

[Jengerer]

One guy that I saw wearing the, "i pwn n00bs" shirt was in my library playing CS with a bunch of his friends (yeah, I know, great rule enforcement.) And he thought he was so good, because he watched other people's screens, saw where they were, and he sprayed and prayed... I wanted to die instead. Instead of what, you may ask? The Pure Pwnage world that he was murdering in his n00bism.

[nuked_you]

Well, at the ST Catherines premier last episode.

I honestly didnt expect many people to show up, but there was a fair amount of people with n00bstore gear on..

a few gamer army peoples.. it was a good experience just to see other people wearing it

[denwO]

I once saw a guy on tour around my university wearing an uber micro hoodie, so I went to chat to him.

He was a complete dick.

But nice story melonqueen I hope you gave him a tip!
What was the pizza topping btw? This is integral to the story.

This is a great story. Hopefully you can meet up with him again and be uber pals. Dunno if you asked for his number, but I guess he might get the wrong idea if so. I never get tired of hearing stories like this.
Just a general statement to everybody tho, people supporting pure pwnage is obviously a great thing, but just Like denw0 said in the post above I've met some real dicks who are either talking about pp or wearing a shirt. Also these people seem ot go through liking it as a phase because they haven't found what they enjoy in life yet.
On another, more positive note, meeting people through finding a shared interest is the way a lot (if not most) friendships are made so go for it and grab the opportunity whenever you can.

*goes off to sob at the beauty of it all *

[Snubs]

yaaay fellow pizza makers like pp

[-cb_32-]

So um, did you get extra pepperoni from this pizza boy?

LOL JOKES.

Anyways, thats pretty random yet awesome!

[KuroFalcon]

Soo, lets ask Jarret to ask them to get us free pizza.

[iEnvÿ]

Free pizza FTW!...

After reading Mares's post about how there are not many people wearing noobstore gear or someone that actually knows about PP in Belgium, maybe you should spread the message of PP around the world(internet). Here lies my opinion - People dont care about PP because they are too busy gaming/doingotherstuff and think that it is just a waste of time, not bothering to even look at the site. The opinion people seem to have on internet shows are "What? TV on the net? Thats dumb.".

To Mares: Same here in Singapore ...

What was the pizza topping btw? This is integral to the story.

Cheese lovers (as in cheese and no other toppings), with BBQ sauce instead of tomato sauce and stuffed crust

[raw_genesis]

the pizza boy caught a glimpse that I was wearing my 1337 tshirt and said: "Nice shirt! Is it from that show, Pure Pwnage?" Of course I was like

Sooooo ... was he hot??? did you make the sexy time???? Did you spank him a little at least???

[KuroFalcon]
