    Hi! Are there more card game geeks among you? I've been a Magic the Gathering player for approx 18 years, and still play regularly (although mostly casual at the moment).

    In addition to that I love myself a good playing session of Skyrim, or a nice episode of GoT/Supernatural. And reading, of course...

    I play about every TCG, or did. Right now really only MTG. I might pick a new TCG up this year if I demo anything fun at Gencon Indy this year.

    Everyone can always use a geek friend.

    I literally just discovered that myfitnesspal had threads, like half an hour ago.

    As for anime, if you have not seen it yet, I highly recommend Rurouni Kenshin. And if you're feeling bold, check out some K(orean)Dramas. They're practically live action anime :D

    At one point, I was an intern for Fantasy Flight Games! That was the coolest and best job I have had so far. Expense paid trip to GenCon in Indianapolis.

    I'm not much of a reader though, I'm pretty sure I have untreated A.D.D. xD

    Ugh, I just watched all of Rurouni Kenshin (Outside of OVAs) at work, I was really not happy with the way the show ended up. I use to watch it as a kid on toonami lol. Show start's off so strong, but gets week after like ep 60ish

    Fantasy Flight Games is an awesome company!

    I'm here with all the Geeks, that's for sure. I started with Pong,then Atari,Nintendo. Then I kinda just quit playing the games. I started the Flight Sims. In reality I am more of a syfy fan. I also have probably seen all the Star Treks. TNG , DS9, Voyager. But I REALLY like Babylon 5. So much so I purchased the Box set. Fire Fly, Warehose 13, Eurkea, Continuum. If there was no syfy channel I wouldn't need Directv. I can't forget to mention Star Wars, Batman,Iron Man ....you get the idea.

    I do like Kenshin, I just wanted a more finished ending. I heard the movie was good, but have not got to it lol.

    Also what K-Drama do you like? I watch a lot of J-Drama and K-Drama, but I have kind of ran out of one's to watch lol. I really like Hana Yori Dango <3

    Oh yea. I started on Final Fantasy 1 on the original Nintendo system and had owned every one of them up to the gameboy until one of my ex-friends sold them from underneath me so he could buy a leather jacket. I know priorities right. lol.

    That right there is stab worthy. My step-mom sold my copy of FF3 for the snes. She was always selling my dad's kids' stuff. I never forgave her. (She had other crimes, but this is THE ONE I couldn't get over.)

    I watched Rurouni Kenshin on Toonami, too. It ends badly? That depresses me. I should finish watching that. I liked it a lot.

    Btw, I also play MTG but I don't enjoy it. Lol, it's a long story.

    Yea, Kenshin disappointed me as well by the end. Started very strong, and definitely still worth watching IMO. OVAs were pretty epic though..

    I personally get into mostly Shounen stuff, but I take in a little of everything as I can. My current fav, and I'm so happy they rebooted the anime is Hunter X Hunter.. I just hope that before the new anime gets too close to catching up with the current chapter of the manga that Yoshihiro Togashi finally starts writing more chapters again.. Annoying that he always puts it on hiatus! >.<

    Well, I think I've been thoroughly out-geeked by most in this thread but I do frequently dabble in geekery:

    Lolz, I feel the same! Some of the awesome stuff talked about, I don't even know... yet! But, I'm learning.

    I'm just super excited right now though... I honestly didn't know our little underground geek world was so not to little and underground, haha.

    Just for the record, my favorite animes have been Rumiko Takahashi, especially Maison Ikkoku and Ranma 1/2.
    My first Anime was Star Blazers, which I used to watch, in the mornings, before high school, in the 80's.

    I read & collect old horror & sci-fi comics. My favorites are the really old EC horror and pretty much any of the ones I've found from the 70's and 80's other than the marvel horror comics. I also love Vertigo, Transmetropolitan, Preacher, the Dreaming & Fables are probably my favorites. I don't know if anyone reads Transmetropolitan but I have the same sun & moon tattoos as Spider Jerusalem. I'm also into sega, not so much newer games other than Fable 2, I'm the freaking Queen in that game and own EVERYTHING! I also like old horror & sci-fi movies from the 50's & 60's and old horror and sci-fi tv shows from the 80's and 90's. My favorite music is old music from the 50's, mostly doo wap as well as punk, psychobilly & ska.
    I don't know if this is really considered geeky but I'm definitely not typical & not in an awesome way, just bizarre I guess..

    I use to do musical theatre, nothing too big, local of Annie get your gun, and Oklahoma, in high school not at high school but while in high school I was in a independent cast of rocky horror picture show. Even though i was probably the shortest height to ever play the roll I played Brad Majors. We performed it in at a coffee house/poetry house only once but it was more fun than the others on stage in front of a packed house. We were going to do more in a real theature house but the directors mom got murdered and all planning seemed to fall apart. The coffee house was kinda the lets just do it before we break up performance. All money earned went to the funeral expenses. :-/ happy and yet sad summer. I have always wanted to usher broadway shows when in town. I should look into that. My mom got to see phantom in the 90s because she could do sign language. She would sign at performances that had hearing disabled audience members. I can never afford to go to shows and your comment just reminded me about vollunteering to usher

    Hehe, I'll agree to disagree! FF6 was good, but didn't quite fit the bill for me for sure. I actually liked FF8 more than 6 honestly... =P Still a good game though regardless. I'm hoping they re-release the PC version of FF8 again with the same improvements as they did with 7. That'd be pretty sweet!

    I thought all 3 ps1 final fantasy games were top notch. Go to show everyone has differing opinions because my favorite was 9. I know my opinion isn't the popular one, I like it. That said once 8 gets going its pretty good. Just a slow to start.

    Playing 8 right now almost done with disk one. Giving it a replay, before I buy the pc steam version of 7
