it also seems pretty pathetic at the same time, but that's just how I feel. I don't mean to offend anyone.

forbade tripping, but allowed pushing and holding and the lifting of the ball.

FOOT-BALL.
This was, and remains, a game on Shrove Tuesday, in various parts of England.

Sir Frederick Morton Eden in the "Statistical account of Scotland," says that at the parish of Scone, county of Perth, every year on Shrove Tuesday the bachelors and married men drew themselves up at the cross of Scone, on opposite sides; a ball was then thrown up, and they played from two o'clock till sun-set. The game was this: he who at any time got the ball into his hands, run with it till overtaken by one of the opposite part; and then, if he could shake himself loose from those on the opposite side who seized him, he run on; if not, he threw the ball from him, unless it was wrested from him by the other party, but no person was allowed to kick it.

You soon name your internet persona after (an) anime character, perhaps even try to learn japanese. All this while ignoring boring things, like that Japan is like any country filled with corrupt politicians, mafia, war crimes, racism and extreme ignorance. Hell, you might even begin to wish you were born japanese, and BAM you're a pathetic weeboo.

Things taken to extremes always gets abit pathetic.

Take Anime fans for example. By watching this style of animation you experience at the same time a quite different way of story telling to what we westerners are used to. This storytelling gets you exposed to different philosophy and imagery. Taking interest in this, you read up on history and folklore. By now you are soaking up everything about this new culture that is so strange and exiting it almost becomes poetic. You soon name your internet persona after your favorite anime character, perhaps even try to learn japanese.

But you know, some just want to watch some cool anime, and hearing that their favorite studios realize and acknowledge their existence makes them happy.

There is no surprise that people here starts talking about other things korean, appreciate cute korean girls or listen to their music. Their different culture is just infectious. Them taking pride of our respect is a cheesy but yet a nice feeling.
Hearing a crowd chant a gamers name and yell Fighting! while hiding from the camera, still brings a smile to my face and sometimes I think "damn, it would be cool if something like that could happen here in Sweden".

While it should have not been a surprise, after reading the OSL winner interview, I thought it was funny that they had thought and talked about the exact things we have here. So now when we know they are really not that different... why could it not happen?

hehe, now I feel that I am just rambling. Something about this topic made me finally register to show my support. Staff of TL, you are awesome!
