This video deserves it's own thread:

[CavaliersFTW]

From the cringe thread, originally posted by Johnfreeman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRCNeBjrFuc

I can't even watch it all the way through it is unbearable :oldlol:

[Lebowsky]

I honestly don't see what's so wrong with it. Kid's a bit awkward, but he beat his apparent shyness and went for it. It takes balls to do something like that at that age, considering how self-conscious we usually are. Probably still not gonna get the girl, but at least he tried.

[Rocketswin2013]

Yeah I stopped at 1:00 when he pointed to her and said "this is for you".

I went through and watched all of it though. Just painful.

Agreed.

[russwest0]

It's still hard to watch though.

And lol @ that hug and the way she snapped her head to the side

[RedBlackAttack]

I have to say... that wasn't nearly as awkward/entertaining as the Minecraft Convention also from the 'cringe' thread.

This was so fascinating, I wanted more. And, it's over 8 minutes long.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ITftz_kbNs

Highlights for me...

Kid asking the panel if they have autism and, if so, how it helps them 'mod' (whatever the hell that means).

Kid asking how much "wham" he needs on his computer to run the latest "mods."

Maybe someone can enlighten me as to what the hell these people are talking about with their "mods." Regardless, this video is a must-click for lovers of awkward events.

[alenleomessi]

someday he is gonna sho.. nevermind

[russwest0]

she didn't even look away or blush at all when he did that shit :lol

her expression was like "awh, look at the beta trying to be alpha!" :oldlol:

dude needs to drop the fedora and that faded polo shirt that only makes him look more pale and skinny and then maybe he'll have a sliver of a chance.

[D-FENS]

What was he wearing???

[CavaliersFTW]

I just don't understand why the chocolate company or whoever the fukk filmed this abomination allowed it to happen... something seems morally wrong about subjecting some random girl to a painfully awkward kid in front of her friends for advertising profit, it's like psychological abuse

:oldlol:

I know that a "mod" is short for modification, but yeah that video is just :roll:

[CavaliersFTW]

What was he wearing???
A fedora, and a polo

Only thing he forgot to do is tip his hat to her at the end and say "Thank you M'lady" that would have sealed the deal I'm sure :oldlol:

[CavaliersFTW]

someday he is gonna sho.. nevermind
What do you mean? This kid is clearly a... supreme gentlemen ...

[RedBlackAttack]

I will say two things about the OP's video:

A. It is pretty damn awkward.

B. Kid has guts, but that girl is way out of his league... and I say that as non-creepily as possible.

This. Took a lot of courage to do that in front of her and other people. I don't see what's so bad here.

There are a combination of factors at work, here... 13-year-olds are awkward by nature, just walking down the street.

You're adding to an already awkward situation (1) hip hop dancing, (2) a somewhat nerdy look, (3) a fedora and (4) kid shooting way out of his league in a very public fashion.

Now, having said all that, it actually sounds like it would be worse than what it turned out to be... but, the awkward meter was still pinging a bit.

[RedBlackAttack]

:oldlol:

I know that a "mod" is short for modification, but yeah that video is just :roll:
That's what I thought initially, but it sounds like these guys all make different, unique "mods," whereas I would assume any modifications to a video game would be done by the company and would blanket across everyone's game.

There is clearly something different going on, here, with these dudes and their "mods" in Minecraft.

One thing is for sure... this convention will make you want to stop playing video games. Forever.

[~primetime~]

I am game dev, I don't have time to watch an 8 min vid, but a game "mod" is pretty much making a new game out of an already existing game, sometimes the game devs release the tools needed for others to "mod" their game.

"Counter-Strike" (one of the most popular "mods" ever) came from Half-Life
"Day of Defeat" is also a Half-Life "mod"



I am assuming the video is full of awkward nerdy types? yes the game industry is full of that, those would be the programmers. The industry is also full of artists (what I am) who are not typically nerdy though. The game industry is basically a huge group socially awkward math genius types (programmers) mixed with socially sound but not-so-book-smart types (artists) and then some managers to tell the two groups what to do.

:lol True but I respect this guy for trying all this shit to get the girl. I don't know too many people that would have the courage to do that in front of a chick they crushing on and on top of that in front of people and having it recorded.

That Minecraft vid is way worse. Bunch of weirdos in there. They make the hip hop 13 year old look like Brad Pitt

[ace23]

I'm paused at :55 second mark and idk if I want to watch the rest of this shit reading the comments.

The way she turned her head when they hugged...Jesus. :facepalm

Anyone who plays on a PC can go into the game's code and modify it.

However, I have no earthly idea what that "wham" shit was about. I feel kind of bad for laughing though, because a lot of those kids seem to have legit disabilities.

OK... I sort of understand the situation now. But still, it seems like Minecraft has something weird going on. Like, these kids are talking about "watching" mods, like you would a movie? Does that make any sense to you?

And, you really have to watch the video to understand the awkwardness. It's mostly kids in the audience, but the interactions between the kids and panel -- which is made up of these mod designers -- is just the most awkward thing ever caught on camera. I refuse to believe you don't have a spare 8 minutes. :oldlol:

Hey, I grew up on video games and will still play occasionally today (though I can't remember the last time I actually did). I understand some of the basics about the gaming world... but this video is just on a level that's hard to fathom. It's like they're speaking a completely different language.

Yeah, a couple of the kids did look like they had some kind of disabilities going on. My thing wasn't so much laughing at them, but the interactions between them and the people on the panel... the long pauses as the panel tried to decipher how to answer the bizarre questions. And, some of the answers by the panel were bizarre.

Just a surreal scene. I know nothing about Minecraft, but this was such an odd event, I'm now curious. Need to know more.

[plowking]

I can respect the effort I guess, but damn, I couldn't watch that shit.

What is it with high school, and always having that one kid in your grade who has to have the fedora hat?
Kid has a good attitude I guess, but he just doesn't seem to understand social protocol or how to behave in a social setting. Plus some kids are awkward as hell, and he fits the mold.

Shit was too much for me to watch until the end.

[ballup]

Just because something looks cool on someone else, doesn't mean it will look good on you. Very important teen lesson.

[kc16]

Totally agree, personally I don't see what was cringe worthy of the video.

[Draz]

He got two hugs and a thumbs up more than a lot of virgins on here ever got. Gave the kid some props because at his age I wasn't that confident in myself in making it known I even had a crush on a girl.

Obviously it was cringe worthy but it took balls. Later that day she got pounded by her black boyfriend and that kid probably pulls an Elliot Rodger.

Kid has balls of steel. Nothing but respect from me. Put himself on the line, the execution was top notch. He's awkward a f*ck, but he didn't let that hold him back :pimp:

[LongLiveTheKing]

Stopped at 55 when he tells everybody to stop.
Painful to watch him dance and when he hugged her.

At least he got 2 hugs and 2 thumbs up. :roll:

I had to pause so many times. **** man shit is just too awkward

[Johnny Jones]

I have to say... that wasn't nearly as awkward/entertaining as the Minecraft Convention also from the 'cringe' thread.

This was so fascinating, I wanted more. And, it's over 8 minutes long.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ITftz_kbNs

Highlights for me...

Kid asking the panel if they have autism and, if so, how it helps them 'mod' (whatever the hell that means).

Kid asking how much "wham" he needs on his computer to run the latest "mods."

Maybe someone can enlighten me as to what the hell these people are talking about with their "mods." Regardless, this video is a must-click for lovers of awkward events.What the hell man. Most of those kids have autism

[robert de niro]

that kid has better moves than i do :dancin

[DonDadda59]

that kid has better moves than i do :dancin

:applause:

Everyone ragging on the kid is a hater. He took a risk most would never even dream of attempting, put himself on the line publicly. Biggest chance most here ever took was probably jay walking. You win some, you lose some. But there's one constant- no nuts, no glory.

[Meticode]

Good for that kid. Props for him overcoming his shyness. Whether she's interested or not.

mod = customization changes made to the game that they implement themselves.

[RedBlackAttack]

What the hell man. Most of those kids have autism
One of the kids may have had severe autism (girl with her dad's card) that someone just watching the thing could pin-point without investigating further. There may have been one or two others with a touch of Aspergers... but, for the most part, they're just awkward kids and awkward adults.

Awkward =/= Autism

*EDIT* At the end she called it a random act of kindness... dude was confessing his love for her... poor guy got slammed hard into the friendzone... see this is why it pisses me the **** off that the adults filming this shit let this happen, they should have seen this was going to happen from the moment they heard his stupid ass plan

[Meticode]

You guys should really do more with your time. :oldlol:

I didn't really think it was that bad upon first viewing, but the second time, I noticed that he inexplicably did go in for a kiss on the hug... which caused her head to nearly spin around like The Exorcist.

She was totally willing to go along with the whole thing, but this kid's confidence is baffling. It's great to see a passionate young kid applying himself, but damn...

This kid's confidence-to-reality ratio is out of whack. Better he learns now, but I'm not sure if millions of people on YT was the correct route. Eh, live and learn.

Oh, and hover hands.

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/324499/fred-sanford-the-big-one-o.gif

the whole thing was a bad idea, the adults involved should have said something to him before hand instead of turning it into the worlds most awkward chocolate commercial for youtubers to cringe at, he literally is going to regret this in a couple of years if he doesn't regret it already

If she meant "random" as in planned for months and months with very specific intentions, then yes... it was incredibly random.

And, yes... the adults probably feel like sh!t right now as he's getting roasted on the Internet. Then again, this is free advertising for their company, so they're probably secretly loving it.

[CavaliersFTW]

dude is probably confused as hell, all these adults encouraging him, kids clapping, his plan seemed so bulletproof they filmed it with equipment and a crew and put it on youtube... yet he ultimately failed

[stalkerforlife]

When he gets rejected, which is highly likely, he will have his own self to blame for somehow liking the best looking girl he could find. Look deeper than the skin and value more than a pretty face and maybe you won't be the biggest beta dweeb on the internet right now.

This guy is going to get girls when he's older. He's the nice guy who needs to learn that girls are bitches first. He's still in that phase, but at least he has balls. :cheers:
