Now, now, calm down, children.

And Geldar, this thread is susceptible to heresy for it is the realm of the Dark Gods. You'll have to live with that when you're here.

Its funny because its true, but even in the darkest corners of the warp, the Light of the Emperor Shines more brightly than a thousand suns.

Now for some heretical material from me:

[Lini]

Even though it's an actual english word ~_~'

Otaku (おたく/オタク?) is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, and video games.

It's not an english word, nor is it even something to be proud of.

That is all.

Japanese origin yes, but it exists in the English vocabolary.
And by the Japanese meaning of the word pretty much all of us on this forum are one.

Anyways off to Editing class~

The term is a loanword from the Japanese language. In English, it is usually used to refer to an obsessive fan of anime/manga and/or Japanese culture generally, and to a lesser extent Japanese video games.

The term serves as a label similar to Trekkie or fanboy/fangirl. However, use of the label can be a source of contention among some anime fans, particularly those who are aware of the negative connotations the term has in Japan. Unpleasant stereotypes about otaku prevail in worldwide fan communities, and some anime fans express concern about the effect these more extreme fans can have on the reputation of their hobby (not unlike sentiments in the comic book and science fiction fandoms).

Whilst a person who may be socially awkward but who is also intelligent and may be fairly "normal" aside from their interest in certain typically 'geekish' pursuits (video games, comic books, computers, etc.), otaku is closer in connotation to the English nerd, but the closest English-language analogue to otaku is probably the British English term anorak. Both of these English-language terms have more emphatically negative connotations of poor social skills and obsessive interest in a topic that seems strange, niche or boring to others.

Whilst quoting Wikipedia isn't exactly the best way to make an argument, what I'm trying to say here is that otaku isn't the same thing as fan.

Semantics aside and back on topic:

No, you people just suck in general. You can try to defend yourself, but your arguments will only make you look sillyer.

Just got off the phone with Blizzard customer service.

It IS possible to buy a North American game time card, then call Blizzard for them to change to code so I'd be able to use it for EU servers. \o/

I just have to make sure I don't do it on a weekend.

Edit: Scratch that, they're open 7 days a week, but only from 8 AM to 8 PM Pacific Time. (11 AM to 11 PM my time, woo!)
