Easily level 5. I'm sorta sad about my life now :/

The people are Gollum, Darth Vader, Jessica Rabbit, Link, Guts , Kenshin, and Superman.

They are dressed as all seven versions of the green latern crew (each one being a different color of the rainbow and each one representing a different emotion.)


orange- unyielding desperation to get what he wants- gollum

yellow-terror-darth vader

violet- love- jessica rabbit

green- courage or determination- link

red-guts- hatred

indigo- compassion- kenshin

blue - hope - superman

Combined with the fact that you, like myself, own all platforms and have that signature, you may as well become a hikkikomori and live out the rest of your life as the greatest nerd on earth.

(double points if you got the Japanese word)

How do I prove I know what a Hikkikomori is? I know what it means and I can say this:

A synonym for it is "neet"
Anyone that's watched "Welcome to NHK" would know what it means.

NEET and Hikikomori are not, actually, synonymous. NEET stands for Not in Education, Employment, or Training. It's not a purely Japanese term, just one adopted by the Japanese as they've had a recent problem with too many of them in their country. Many people can be NEETs, and it's one of the stereotypes of gamers (the 30 year old man in his mother's basement playing WoW).

A hikikomori is someone with social withdrawal; a shut-in, if you will. They isolate themselves completely from the outside world and social interaction. Most of these people have various (undiagnosed) social and anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder. A hikikmori often is a NEET, because their condition prevents them from easily acquiring any sort of employment, but there are a lot of NEETs who are not hikikomori.
