Nathan Fillion Reminds Gamers of the Dangers of "Swamp Ass"

​

A sweaty backside while gaming can be a terrible thing.

"Swamp Ass." It's a phenomenon that most gamers are sadly all too familiar with. You're sitting on your couch, shooting some faces in Call of Duty: The Newest One, and then you begin to feel oddly moist. Like a perfect storm, the sweat on your back and the warmth of the couch combine to wreak havoc, only it's on your backside instead of shorefront property.

Actor Nathan Fillion, best known to nerds for his role as Captain Mal Reynolds on Firefly - and known to gamers for his work in games like play Nathan Drake on the big screen [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/94968-Nathan-Fillion-Wants-In-on-Halo-Reach] - thinks that more people need to be aware of this tragic issue that affects millions around the world.

Fillion and Break.com [http://www.break.com/] have teamed up to produce this Public Service Announcement that you see here to the right, to raise awareness about the dangers of Swamp Ass - because the more we know about it, the more we can fight it. With hair dryers. Between raids.

Thanks, Cap'n Mal. You're awfully shiny for doing this.

Good lord, that man is the best man in the history of men.

XD! I just died laughing. Thank you Nathan Fillion, thank you.

Captain Hammer is here to save the day! Yay!

This is the best thing I've seen in weeks. And I just watched Labyrinth last night. Somehow, Nathan Fillion is better than David Bowie's crotch.

 

[FalloutJack]

That is quite possibly the strangest thing I've heard in relation to gaming lately, but I believe the appropriate response is...

 

[Iznat]

That was absolutely adorable.

I have no idea why. Cheered me up to no end, though.

 

[A Raging Emo]

Nathan Fillion is a man to be idolised.

 

[Vault Citizen]

I have never heard of (or experienced) Swamp Ass, is it really that common a thing?

 

[Fappy]

Was that Nyan Cat with an NES controller for a body? ...

 

[Black Watch]

I think I just turned gay because of that man.

 

[Dr_Horrible]

Wow, this was the best and funniest thing I've seen recently, even though I've been going through the LoadingReadyRun video archives... Nathan Fillion is just plain awesome.

Also:

Good lord, that man is the best man in the history of men.

sounds about right.

EDIT:

I think I just turned gay because of that man.

As a completely straight man, I can say that that is a reasonable response

Is this "Swamp Ass" an actual phenomenon that people are familiar with and aware of?

 

[mandaforever]

I might be in love.

 

[Sepiida]

God bless you Nathan Fillion.

This man needs to be cloned immediately.

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

That perfectly serious expression he pulls when he starts using the hairdryer made me crack up. Please tell me there will be more of this "The More You Nerd".

It really depends on where you're sitting and your own body. It happens to me a lot when I sit on pleather chairs. Real leather or fabric and I'm just fine, but 10 minutes on a pleather chair and my pants are soaked through. No idea why.

I can't say how common it is though, I haven't actually asked anyone if they get it /shrug.

I can see why XKCD have an obsession with this guy. He's pretty damn awesome.

 

[Jedoro]

How. The hell. Does he say that with a straight face?
