This link contains real life proof of social adepts. I believe that the social adept visible in the above video looks almost exactly what a social adept would be required to look like in the context of Shadowrun.

Um, I have a link to Japanese Boy by Aneka. And a really crappy video at that.

Yes. Notice the Shadowrun-appropriate outfit for meeting with the Johnson from Renraku and the irresistable pornomancer sex appeal enveloping you from the voice and explodingly erotic body movements. There's a reason that the song hit #1 in the charts back in the 80s and it's because of the 80s appropriate pornomancer powers oozing from that music video.

Is this supposed to be some pathetic attempt at that stupid Rickroll meme thing?

No more so than other threads over the years you can search here with the title "Real Life Proof of Physads".

EDIT: Hmm I can only find one so far. But there were some good ones...

Wow, guys. Just look at all the awesome things you're missing if you post in the SR4 forum and don't check the regular SR forum.

My eyes, my dear, precious eyes!!!

@WR: all those "Physad"-links are dead. Some copyright issues, it seems.
But for proof of the adept, we need look no further than http://youtube.com/watch?v=vJq9XriGU0Q

The Chuck Norris clip had so much heroic dynamism that I had to rush to the restroom for the explosive diarreah that it created in my bowels.

Are all the links dead? That's too bad. Even these?

Please don't start with the stupid Chuck Norris shit. Besides, Bruce Lee whooped his ass with ease.

I think you need to cut back on that Whiskey, Mac. Didn't you watch "Lone Wolf McQuade"? Chuck Norris DEFEATED DAVID CARRADINE! Clearly, he is the mightiest warrior the world has ever known.

The grace with which Chuck Norris can make a stuntman jump up into the air is just amazing. I'm not completely convinced that he isn't a mystic adept with a modified levitate spell.

I smell a conspiracy here. Could it be Kong-Walmart trying to hide the existance of PhysAds from the public

Okay, that's the last Chuck-Roll from me.
Although I'd choose lame overused Norris-memes over all that silly pirate-ninja crap anytime!

I've actually heard a rumor that Bruce Lee considered Chuck to be a good fighter. This is supposedly the origin of the Chuck Norris jokes. They used to be Bruce Lee jokes.

Posted by: Moon-Hawk Sep 17 2007, 03:35 PM

I heard the Chuck Norris jokes started as Vin Diesel jokes, but the Chuck Norris jokes made a better internet meme for whatever incomprehensible reason things becomes memes.

At the risk of actually bringing this thread back on topic, I'm curious about something. Physical adepts are relatively easy to identify. We talk about Bruce Lee and his amazing speed, or perhaps the running back we once saw go twenty yards dragging three defenders with him. What would a person have to do or be in order to be considered an example of a social adept?

L. Ron Hubbard is a social adept!

Sell a digicam to a blind man? Con their way past secret service without any disguise, contacts or fake prove of legitimation, to shake hands with the president. Talk their way out of a Police Station after kicking the Captain in the head. Persuade the Pope, to officially marry them.

Intimidate Chuck Norris? (Sorry, couldn´t resist).
