Re: What annoys you about non-gamers?
*Dares S-99 to call the Spartans gay*

Actually they'd probably just say "Yeah? And?" if you did.

Halo or 300 ?  ;)

If you mean 300, they do appear a little homo-erotic.... :doubt:

Blame frank miller on that, they appear the same way in the graphic novel. I guess the rainbow warrior would be one of the spartans.
Yeah, rainbow + warrior just doesn't do it as frightening or professional sounding, it's border line flamboyant sounding.

Blame Frank Miller for depicting the Spartans as gay when history is pretty certain that there were lots of them who were gay?

Yeah. It's all his fault.

Where'd this come from, lets just go ahead and take things out of context shall we?

I guess people don't read threads anymore. I was in response to this post...

What was meant by that is yes blame frank miller for making the spartans scantily clad. His movie and graphic novel is a re-imagining of what happened at the battle of thermopylae. 300 is not historically correct, rather a good deal of it is, but like i said, it's a bad ass re-imagining of what happened at that epic battle.
In real life for the greeks they don't go out into battle wearing almost nothing. Greek infantry equipment generally consists of a spear, helmet, shield, short sword, and a breast plate. And this is accurate for what the spartans did ship out with for the battle of thermopylae.

They were still largely gay though. Which is why I mentioned them in the first place.

Re: What annoys you about non-gamers?
I already made obvious references to the movie which is not historically correct, in 300 the spartans were portrayed as talking down about boy lovers. The other obvious thing i already pointed out also was that i do understand that it was part of ancient greek culture (spartans and all excluding the movie 300 for consideration). After that i wasn't talking about the spartans being gay either, someone else mentioned that they looked a little homo-erotic in the movie and i took that as perhaps that person was making a reference to the fact that they were muscley spartans that didn't wear much. And i mentioned something historically accurate for the equipment and armor spartans actually did wear for the battle of thermopylae.

I will mention it again, go read a history book and don't take 300 as being historically accurate, because it's not. That movie doesn't show you anything that you could use in an argument to prove that the spartans had some gays, while in contrast real history does. If you're point is only to show me that they were still largely gay by talking about frank millers movie, that wont do anything. As far as saying that i knew boy loving was one of the aspects of ancient greek culture which includes spartans. Yeah i already knew that, and i already told you the first time you mentioned the spartans.

I was talking only about rainbow warrior sounding gay, then out of no where random off topic hint at spartans. Spartans and a boat with the name rainbow warrior that i thought sounded sort of gay don't add up to talking about the same thing. I don't know where you're flying with this kara, but you are clearly talking about something else that i was not.

Nope, that's not quite it:
They can't play games, that actually takes skill or thought. (It's too alien to most of them).
