Proof That You Should Never Be a Bard

Bards Tale - SlightlyQualified.com

If you’ve never played a role playing game before, then you will likely not get the humor in this post.  RPG’s over the years have enabled gamers to create their own characters, and then jump into a massive gaming experience that can span more than 100 hours of complex game play.  Although each RPG allows gamers to select their character from a set selection of “classes”, some classes are more rare than others.  The “Bard” in particular, is probably the rarest of them all, and in my opinion, for good reason.  If you’ve never heard of bards before, much like my advice in the beginning of this post, it would probably behoove you to move on to some of our other, slightly qualified content, because this may be lost on you.  Let me get to the point: why oh why would a gamer create a bard, whose primary weapon is a musical instrument, over say a warrior or a mage, who carry a sword or lethal doses of magic, respectively?  Oh, what’s that you say?  The bard is crucial to the team because he can boost morale?  Excuse me while I step outside and attempt to recover my professionalism.  If there has ever been a laughingstock class in RPG’s, it’s the bard.  Sorry to all those who have posters of bards on their walls, but seriously, there can’t be many of you.  So what’s this “proof” that I speak of, you ask?  After all, it is the title of this post.  Hit the link below, and prepare yourself for at least 10 minutes of genuine hilarity and satisfaction!

Real Life McLovin in School Yearbook

McLovin for President - SlightlyQualified.com

Yearbook photos: everyone remembers them, and no one likes them.  Not then, not the week after, and definitely not twenty years later when you see how goofy you truly looked back in the day.  They do provide a good laugh, however, especially when that super weird kid in your class goes that extra, nerdy mile to make yearbook picture day that much more ridiculous.  My first reaction when I saw the hilarious funny picture below was witnessing McLovin from Superbad for the first time in the movie theater; I was shocked, amazed, yet smiling the entire time.  It was then I realized that it wasn’t actually Superbad which I thought of, but rather Christopher Mintz-Plasse from another great comedy, Role Models.  Hit the link below and I guarantee you’ll have the same reaction.

Larry David vs Justin Bieber

Emmy Nominations - Photo Courtesy of the AP

Although they’re separated by generations, they arguably both fall into the same weight class.  Larry David, the king of comedy, and easily the biggest asshole on television (and that is a compliment!), vs the YouTube-original, everyone loves to hate him until they get caught blasting his music in traffic Justin Bieber; so who ya got?  I’d have to go with Larry David; he’s got a huge height advantage, and I’ll take his New York City youth over anything north of border (South Park: The Movie: “They’re not even a real country, anyway!“)  So when is the showdown, you ask?  Well, I lied.  This is just an awesome funny pic that everyone will get a kick out of, unless you’re in the 10-14 year old female group who owns every piece of Bieber gear on earth, then it’d probably be best to move along; you probably don’t even know who Larry David is, anyway.  Enough talk; hit the link below for the awesomeness.

Who Cares About Microsoft’s Xbox Reveal Day?

Different Strokes Funny Pic - SlightlyQualified.com

Memes never get old, especially when they’re really good.  To be in the upper echelon of funny memes, it all starts with the original background photo.  Sure your captions may be stellar, but you won’t win your audience over unless it really fits well with the background photo.  That being said, the funny gaming meme creation crew around the Internet has been hard at work at pumping out some hilarious ones since yesterday’s “Xbox Reveal Day“, which honestly has created more confusion than there was before.  Although most gaming meme creators have aimed in on the “always-online” Internet connection “feature”, one photochopper decided to spin the reveal in an old-school way that probably only those of us that grew up on the NES would really appreciate.  Hit the link below to see what I mean.

Funniest Kim Jong-un Memes Part 2

Kim Jong Un Zoolander Cover - SlightlyQualified.com

I don’t know about you, but I’m still laughing at Part 1; “can I eat that?”  The great thing about creating these North Korean meme-fests is that we have really only scratched the surface of hilarious Kim Jong-un material; I think I’ve gathered enough awesomeness to last us at least ten more full posts.  And what’s unbelievable is that these memes are generally done with the same still images!  Could you imagine how much more material we would have if North Korea actually allowed a free media?  Thinking about it just makes me smile.  But enough prose; hit the link below as we unveil Part 2 of the Internet’s funniest Kim Jong-un memes!

Funniest Kim Jong-un Memes Part 1

Kim Jong-Un Bed or Cake Cover - SlightlyQualified.com

In America’s military, once you complete your undergraduate degree you become eligible for a chance to earn a commission as an officer, and within a year or two, take command of a platoon of Marines or soldiers.  In North Korea when you’re about the same age, if your daddy just so happens to be the dictator, you can take command of the starving country’s 1 million-man army.  Kim Jong-un has recently toned down his nuclear-sized rhetoric lately (thanks to Dennis Rodman for his verbal diplomatic efforts: “Do me a solid, bro!”), but he will likely continue to be a thorn in the world’s side until this country, or everyone else on the planet decides enough is enough and conduct a good ol’ fashioned regime change.  I think the main reason why the dude is still in power however is because Mr. Jong-un is so easy to meme on the Internet; it’s so easy in fact, that I’ve had to break this hilarious funny pic / meme-fest into multiple parts!  Click the link below to get your laugh on, America!

Funny Pic: Video Game Logic

Logic is Hard - SlightlyQualified.com

Every time I hear the word “logic”, I think back to my freshman year in college when I experienced my first and only logic course.  Going in I figured it would be simple; I mean really, how hard could Logic 105 be?  Well, let’s just say it was not easy; I barely registered a C in the course, and of course my parents were thrilled.  Video games logic on the other hand is something I think we can all understand, at least more than “A -> B : D”; the funny pic / stellar gaming e-card will register with all of our gamers out there in SQ Nation.  On a side note, it’s pretty amazing to see just how far the “someecards.com” site has come.  I remember back in 2008 while I was at the Marine Corps’ “The Basic School”, one of my roommates introduced me to it, and thought it was a really good idea.  Now these crazy e-cards are all you see on Facebook, but I digress.  Hit the link below for some video game logic!

That Moment When Playing Video Games Pays Off

Grandma's Boy Silver Fox - SlightlyQualified.com

I’m not a fan of gamer stereotypes, although they can seriously make me laugh when they’re in good fun.  Probably the biggest gamer stereotype of them all is that gamers are virgins, or that they never have actual girlfriends.  Many would label the gamer community as anti-social, or socially awkward folks that never leave their parents basements; one of our all-time favorite movies portrayed this hilariously well (Grandma’s Boy!), and I’d like to point out that could not be further from the truth.  At least in our case here at SQ.  Regardless, I don’t feel like jumping on the gamer stereotype soap box, because the outstanding funny picture below is just too funny and doesn’t help my argument.  If you do one thing today, click the link below.

8 Zerg Rush Funny Pics to Remind You How Much You Suck at StarCraft

Zerg Rush at SlightlyQualified.com

I love me a good RTS game.  My addiction began with the legendary Command & Conquer series, as I pretended to have the flu in grade school so I could destroy a motherf*cker on Heat.net (you’re probably too young to remember that; I’ll do a feature on it soon) with swarms of Soviet tanks in Red Alert.  I was pretty darn good, and my uber C&C skills carried over nicely to just about every other game, until I started playing StarCraft II.  Maybe it’s because I don’t have nearly enough time as I used to, or maybe I’m just getting old (30 in t-minus one week), but I am getting absolutely destroyed on multiplayer, specifically by the damn Zerg.  Thankfully I am not alone, as it seems to be the one rush that has defined the StarCraft series, much like the 8 Soviet tanks in Red Alert.  Although StarCraft fans will truly appreciate the following hilarious Zerg rush funny pics, if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of an RTS multiplayer rush, then you’ll likely get a kick out of these as well.  So without further adieu, I present the top 8 Zerg rush funny pics just to remind us all how much we all suck at StarCraft!

Fry from Futurama on Extra Lives

Skeptical Fry from Futurama

Oh this one takes me back.  Although my internal clock will turn 30 years of age in just a couple short weeks, I am still proud enough to admit (on the Internet OR in real life) that video games are still a passion of mine.  While I do not have as much free time to crank through game after game on a Saturday, I do get in as much game time as I can.  So what does this have to do with the hilarious Fry from Futurama?  Well, you see, we have a thing for Photochops and memes around these parts; for those of you lucky enough to have experienced our former website, you probably saw some of our best work.  While the image below isn’t our creation, it’s a high quality gaming meme that all of our retro gaming readers will surely appreciate.  It brought me back to the NES days, although I am still trying to remember which games I experienced this in.  Hit the link to reminisce with us!

What’s the Worst Thing About Online Gaming?

Worst Thing About Online Gaming Family Feud - SQ

This question will make our gamers out there in SQ Nation chuckle out loud; I know I did.  There are just too many things that come to mind that you could argue.  Profanity?  The lack of maturity?  Camping?  “Your mom” jokes?  Lag?  I think I could come up with 100 different things that blow orifices about online gaming, and I think you could too.  Although I mostly reach for the single player venues currently, via Demon’s Souls and Diablo 3, I do jump into the StarCraft 2 arena pretty frequently, although I’m still learning.  Gone are the days when I used to destroy people online in Red Alert, and don’t even get me started about Goldeneye.  Hit the link below for a hilarious take on one gamer’s position on what the worst aspect about online gaming is.  I think most of us will be able to relate!
