Charles Darwin defined his theory of evolution by natural selection as the principle by which variations of useful traits are preserved. So individuals best adapted to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce. And if the abilty to procure a Playstation 3 was a useful trait, I'd be concerned for the 22nd century, if it weren't for the fact that I don't see a whole lot of reproducing going on with this bunch.
So why is it that certain types of people have to display their affection for certain things with such over-the top behavior. There's a comedy bit about a former softball player's declining skills that ends with...now when I play shortstop, if the ball's five feet away from me in either direction, it's a home run. That's the type of fan I am. (I think you're a good band and all, but unless you're performing in my kitchen, I'm happy just to download you off iTunes.) So it's only natural for me to look at people waiting in line for a week and think...lost a bet, huh? But no, these crazy-ass fans went through five nights of pouring rain (talk about luck) for a CHANCE to purchase a box of wires that plays a few new games because they're tired of the four million other games that already exist...makes perfect sense.
But gamers aren't the only hardcore fans out there. There's all sorts of weird behavior going on in the world, in support of celebrities, movies, sports, you name it. So I thought I'd point out ten of the larger groups, mainly because I wanted to see how many people I could piss off with just one article. But I hope no one is offended, it's all in good fun. And please note...the person writing this article went through all of high school being about half as cool as the guy who hangs out with Anthony Michael Hall in Sixteen Candles. And I don't mean Cusack. I mean the geekier one, the guy with the night vision goggles and bad skin...so consider the source. You go right on dressing like Lando Calrissian, I'll sit here on the couch writing articles that six people read...deal?
