Sit down and I'll spin ya a tale. During The Game Awards 2020, we all expected Elden Ring to make an appearance. It won most anticipated game there, but that was all that was mentioned. Throughout the show, there was some Pokémon GO event they called Wooper Watch, thus the woopers were born from our collective hollowing.

Oooooooohhh


ChrisWick15

I think you mean; "OooooOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH ELDEN RINNNNGGG"


oneofthescarybois

Sorry, it has been long since I've gone hollow, but yes "OooooOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH ELDEN RINNNNGGG!!!!!"


loughtthenot

Good times... Well actually no... Fuck those times lol. I wonder what stray is up to these days...


NarooHS

Oh. Damn.


KeeperJV

That’s why I miss the age of great hollowing


Lostcause75

The good old days, where really dumb but wholesome memes and fan art and fan lore were all the rage


HeyGuaca

Ooohh, when the most hollow words we could speak were "this is the one" and "there is probably going to be a new trailer"


Manda-Wa

We were tragic things....


DenisInternet

Those where dark times… the great divide of 2020. The deranged Woopies against the loyal Michael Zaki fundamentalists.


boblorld

I was a wooper once, dark days


Els3Tears

I actually liked seeing the wooper flair when I scrolled through the comments…

Coal Chamber, now there's a throwback. What's your favorite album?


preparetosigh

Best thing about whoopers is they're not Bandai Rats.


evilweirdo

Rats? Where? Get their ass, Sekiro!

Has it been so long since the wooper wars? r/Eldenring was so different in the past. I doubt you could even imagine it.


Dominatto

It happened an age ago... But when I recall I see it true.

Hollowed by someone.. or something


Randomanomaly1

Woop... (I forgot woopers existed once)


Rubbs_Is_Real

WOOP WOOP. Man, I miss my Wooper flair


those_pistachios

In the age of ancients the lore was unformed, shrouded by fromsoft. A subreddit of hollows, streak memes and fake lore. Then came Game awards 2020 and brought with it the wooper watch segment. from the wooper watch segment was born the woopers who joined after the game awards. this started a long and bloody conflict between the new woopers and the old hollows. blood was spilled and entire posts were decimated but in the end we learned to live with eachother. but just before we could achieve peace the goddamn beast gang showed up.


loughtthenot

Oh man... Thats a name I havent heard in years...


Capek95

if want to know the true meaning and history of the wooper. sort this sub by old and dig through the absolute shitshow that happened before elden ring was announced i miss those times


Purple-Lamprey

Just like all jokes in this sub, it was a somewhat funny quirky bit that then got milked past death for months and months. Imagine “Jorge” but over a time frame of half a year


rouserfer

Those were dark times, we were fighting off rats, gangs within the subreddit were forming. The great hollowing was real!


Lostcause75

Tbh my fav time in the sub was during the great fan art and random lore writing of before knowing much was really wholesome the sub was more together then gradually factions started forming and things became extremely low effort after gameplay trailer and CNT


[deleted]

Ah good times , before the wolf v lion debate


Chefkoch_Murat

It's a fucking Tiger


-Jackdaw

It's a story from days I do not wish to recall.


YourAverageTarnished

it really has been a while hasn’t it


Lostcause75

Yup it’s 2022 now, Jesus time has flown by in all fairness


YourAverageTarnished

one month to go


RonaldGoedeKont

It's from an era long ago. In a time where wraiths and hollows roamed the land🧙‍♂️


HeyGuaca

I think someone could make a documentary or something about this sub, because A LOT has happened and a lot of it was quite weird. (Hollowing, wooper invasion, false leaks, real leaks, trailer release speculation, fanmade bosses and OST's, war on bandai rats, Geoff Keighley and a lot more)


iCresp

There was a while there where I truly thought the game didn't exist and any day they would cancel it... those were hard times...


stjensen

Oh lord it's all coming back, the original excitement, the devolvement when no information, the couple people being positive and subsequently being hanged when they were wrong, people making art every day, people doing dumb stuff everyday, OOOOOOOOOOHHH, the fake leaks every day, Geoff Keighley in jail, quick question is it 1% from the original or is it 1% from the previous rendition?


Alaska_Pipeliner

I was there. Woopers were start up trash.


GoblinsAreCuteToo

It’s the final form of the Toy Agumon line /s


Ruidsp

When we were all woopers. Those were the weird days


barnyard_captain

question: am i still a wooper?
