Once I was playing at a friend's house and some of his friends were coming over. I was playing elma and ESCed, and some guy asked why I did that, what was wrong with that ride.

Well the weirdest was probably when my mom's guy said that they used to hate that I play that game, just out of the blue recently, when they haven't seen me playing for years. I had no idea they had such an opinion or why they would. I don't even know if it's true since that guy says some weird stuff sometimes.

I just remember saying I was 3rd best Argentine in highschool and people either not believing, or making fun of my nerdiness.
Once some highschool friend came to house and prompted me: "Show you're good!", first lev I open I made MAX NAB DEATH and he called BS. Then he didn't stay so I could prove him wrong.

I made it my life purpose to show'em I'm the real deal...

Really the most awkward is when somebody knows what Elma is, happened to me only about twice.
It's not that awkward when I'm on a long train journey with a bunch of friends and I start practicing Stolen Internals in offline mode and some people start laughing hard because wtf game.

Can't recall any particularly awkward situations, but I don't think there's anyone that I haven't managed to convince of the value of the game and the community when it came up, after I tell them about all the friendships and fems etc :) I think even my mom started to accept that I'm not retarded going to a farm in Finland to meet other players of a game from 2000 :D Took a while tho...
