How are you Internet Famous?

[CM156_v1legacy]

Earlier today, I was having a conversation with some of my friends. We were talking about the rise in internet reviewers, such as sites like TGWTG, and the idea behind internet fame. It was my contention that internet fame means almost nothing compared to real world fame. My point was that everyone has some tentative claim to internet fame. Any guy with a camera can become an internet reviewer. And many have.

So I ask you, dear readers. What makes you ?internet famous??

I don?t have much, except the fact that something I wrote is linked on Encyclopedia Dramatica. Which, now that I think about it, isn?t something I should be bragging about?

 

[JaceArveduin]

Absolutely nothing, unless you count being one of two people who google says uses the name "Arveduin" the other one is on AoC, whom I need to ask where they came across the name.

I'll do it eventually.

Just wondering, but how did you choose that name?

I ripoff Zero Punctuaction in French. A dozen people listen to me.

Over <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/2-50-Reviews>140 people follow my reviews.

That counts, right?

 

[Dango]

Well I've got over 12,000 posts...
That's something... I think.

Well Jace, despite the normal belief, is actually just my ignorance of DBZ and was given to me by a childhood friend, I used it for my first multiplayer game and it stuck.

Arveduin is actually me just being a combination of lazy and awesome while tweaking Tolkien's King Arvedui's name by tossing a N on the end to make it my own. I have checked and I'm 99% positive that I'm the only Jace Arveduin on the internet. Though I do know there are tons of Jace's and at least one other Arveduin now.

Other than this account? I have two Deviant Art accounts.

enmadaio2588 and, shoggoth8852. The later is WAY MORE POPULAR, some of my pieces having been viewed a couple thousand times!

What makes me internet famous is my 18-inch penis. And to be honest the only person who can claim true internet fame is Christian Weston Chandler, and maybe Boxxy.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I have a couple highest rated comments on Youtube.

Nothing more.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Um, I'm not. I'm nice but famous isn't how I would describe myself. Nor do I want to be famous without accomplishing something >.>

No, you're still obscure. It's not like people actually read them

Apparently I'm 'famous' cause people like my sense of humor. Go figure. Whatever.

I have a deviantart account where I post a few sketches every month which average 2-5 views apiece, I have uploaded a whopping total of 2 videos to youtube both of which I deleted, I have a little over 1,000 posts on this site.....

In short, I'm not. However I do have plans of making a webcomic (yea I know, me and every other person on the internet.) so there is a remote possibility. And yes I have watched yahzees video on the topic

Could you send me a link to your deviantarts, PWETTY PWEASE??

I love looking at art and I wouldn't mind looking at your more popular pieces. Who knows, I might come back a fan. ^-^

And the world's most adorable avatar!

*waves* Hi Fuko!

OT: My brother and I have earned a reputation on PSN for being good Tekken players. We constantly get challenges from people we don't even know.

 

[Blueruler182]

I posted a video of a friend of mine doing a dance in fairy wings? That count?

 

[shadyh8er]

I'm also famous for double-posting like a derp....

 

[lacktheknack]

I am fairly well recognized on the Escapist as "That Guy With Those Blasted Avatars From HELLLLLLLLLLLL".

Alright, fair enough, someone was going to make the joke. Might as well have been you.

 

[scorptatious]

I have written a fanfiction for Valkyria Chronicles which got a few hundred hits.

 

[StriderShinryu]

I suppose I might be recognized by a few people around here for my not always popular views on things like fighting games (absolutely love them) and used games (yes, they are hurting the industry). I was also the leader of a fairly well known guild/faction in The Matrix Online.. though saying that doesn't mean much when the game itself wasn't overly well known.

.. so, basically, I'm pretty much not even Internet Famous. *cry*

I ripoff Zero Punctuaction in French. A dozen people listen to me.

I am intrigued. Where may I head to perhaps join this giant fan base?
