Re: Why didn't he get into Thomas the Tank Engine?
I agree he has limited social skills, and can't really carry on a conversation like most of us can, but isn't that more due to autism than to a limited range of interests? I dunno.
Yeah, I think people have come to expect that Chris will be exactly like the CWCki portrays him (eat McDonalds every day, etc) when he probably has other interests, even if they're not that important to him. He talks about God of War, for example, on one of those Big night out videos, and it's not something people usually mention when talking about his favorite games and stuff.Marvin said:Nah, that's really not the case. People frequently seem to see Chris in absolute terms a lot more than than's actually the case. I mean, it's not unreasonable, because, y'know, autism. It's like people assuming absolutes about his mcdonalds consumption and his other interests. Sure, Chris mostly spergs about what everyone associates him with (because he's said public things about them) but he's still had other, little cartoons interests and video games he's played and he actually has opinions on them sometimes.Melchett said:However I'd disagree with spaps point about "just cuz I don't sperg constantly doesn't mean I don't like it" regarding Chris. The only things you can have a conversation with him about are his spergy obsessions (as evidenced by the interview.) Chris may be aware of other things, but he doesn't like them like normal people.
Comparing Chris and spaps (for arguments sake), I can talk to spaps about evil dead, but then I can evolve the conversation on the other shit, like zombies, or horror movies or whatever, something that's not his sperg subject. Spaps would also probably be able to uphold a conversation about shit doesn't care about either (say if I started sperging about some shitty horror film).
Chris is incapable of doing this. It seems very much like Chris is either "talk for 6 straight hours about it" or "no comment". The guru larry interview shows this. Interviews are supposed to naturally progress and whilst I know larry isn't the most articulate person in the world, there are times when to can see him ushering in a new topic slowly and Chris just drags them back to his LBP sperg. He probably does enjoy other shit, but major passively to the point where I ge the feeling he has no opinion.
Those opinions are mostly the same as his recent Sonic rant. Usually him complaining about something that pissed him off. And even if he's talking about some minor interest of his that no one's aware of, he still knows some relatively obscure details about them. Or they're obscure to me. Like apparently there was a girl turtle in some TMNT show at one point?
