I thought curling was trolling, I was wrong. It takes a special level of mental retardation to act this out in real life.

That looks like it could be fun if they didn't try sticking so close to the story game. Replace the brooms with lacrosse sticks, and use them for checking, and firing bludgers at other players.

But it's so stupid. Why the hell do you need to have a broom with you? It serves no purpose and looks idiotic.

Because it's quidditch and its played by Harry Potter nerds. It's like asking why people cosplay.

This is how you know how old AT currently is. The kids coming out of college these days were very young when HP came out and/or grew up with this shit. The girls especially seem to love it. Guys who are physically active playing a game based on a shared beloved fantasy series... those guys are doing just fine in the ladies department

Times have changed fellas, sorry to break it to you

They certainly have ... I played games like this when I was roughly 5. :D

I also am fond of the Harry Potter movies/books but getting laid or not this crap is lame.

I'm seriously out of touch with what can or cannot get one laid in today's society.

This is, always has been, and always will be super lame. To be clear this isn't lame because it's quidditch it's lame because it ISN'T quidditch. Is the playing area three dimensional? No. Are the balls trying to hit you on their own? No. Is the gold ball super difficult to see and super tough to catch? No, it's a dude with truck nutz on his butt.

Kids in the 80s might have glued streamers onto their Huffys and pretended to be in Tron lightcycle races but I'm pretty sure they weren't doing that in their 20s and I'm damn sure they weren't creating competitive leagues.

adults who were kids in the 80's are too busy trying to RP the latest D&D revision to fuck with quidditch. They even have an acronym for it, LARP.
