I am very much into a whole slew of hobbies and apsstimes that usually guarantee 'you will never get laid.'
I like comics, and sci-fi, and Lord of the Rings, and I roleplay.
But I also shower.
So, tell me - I know that all of these things are associated with losers and the comic-book guy from The Simpsons...
Does enjoying geeky things automatically make a person less likely to get laid, or what?
Discuss...
::runs away::
Also, asptimes = passtimes. i am sure there is an edit function, but I want to avoid geeky-stuff till I have figured out the general disposition of the forum towards geek-stuff. ;>
I also do ok... I was just testing the water to see if anyone else was a bit... geeky, like me.
See, thing is, I enjoy stereotypes tremendously, and then refuse to fit in with them. This makes me sad - I actually do spend my sundays running games for friends, and I do read comics and enjoy sci-fi... and I find it funny that the stereotype for guys like me doesn't actually fit the people.. I was being silly in a way but was also seeing if there were other people here with similar interests, sorta thing.
And, um, stuff..
I run a Judge Dredd game and a Warhammer one. It is a ton of fun and we need more people around the table. Sundays are spent beating the shit out of various imaginary foes, using 20 sided dice as weapons :>
For the last... um.. year and a half, we have been playing through a very complex Warhammer role-playing game which is nearing it's climax. Right now, my friends have to beat the living crap out of a bunch of religious zealots in order to bring stability back to the Empire. And they have to do this through talking and playing out the situation in real time. For non-players, this sounds really lame. You have to be there...
We also have a ton of games involving hoards of orks eating people.
you haven't lived till you have killed all of your mates in a bar room brawl started by a dwarf who didn't have enough money to payy for the round of drinks he knocked over trying to get to the lav after having eaten rancid rat pie.
I am geeking out way too much here, aren't i?
Sounds like an average night out with me, that does
I once witnessed a chav at a train station trying to put his hoodie over his hat....not hard u say, oh no, but he had it on backwards...he tried so hard and actually fell off the platform....his mates had to pull him up
i love to play risk, great lads night in,. only ever play global domination dont play the mission risk.
games can last from 2 to 12 hours, mind you you can be rather trashed after that length of time and making decions gets a bit difficult.
I collect american comics,like sci fi....sci fi is cool now....just watch Heroes or Battlestar Galactica!
and i never had trouble pulling the girls!
anybody knocks sci-fi... I'll zap yo ass!
lp
with some gizmo or other, ending in ****-a-tron!
I'm a real Tolkien geek. Like a serious Tolkien geek. I'm a geek in other respects too. Don't knock geeks. We owe our modern world to them.
Lady geeks are delightful, I love hearing about other geekdoms
I heard a phrase a while ago i quite liked it( can't remember where i heard it mind)
'The geek shall inherit the earth'
