    I don't know where I belong. I wrote my first computer program when I was 11 and I've played MUDs for years before any of these graphic MMORPGs. I'm not a "hip geek". So I really don't know if I should answer this calling :-)

    Um, there is something inherently wrong with this post. What the hell is wrong with pubs?! I get my geek on at pubs; pub trivia! Plus, I like beer, and I pretend to be a craft beer geek.

    I have made great strides in my nerdom this week though. I was finally able to prioritize my time and only play video games for a few hours and actually get some stuff done like dishes and laundry. You know, because sometimes that stuff is important...

    There is something wrong here; when did nerds and geeks become an exclusive club?! There are probably more of my non-geek friends who know about my latest DnD character than my geek friends. Of my less than nerdy friends will come up and say something like, "I just saw the Wolverine movie and I thought he got his claws in that lab place.", and I will say "let me cure that ignorance." As nerds and geeks, it is our duty, our privilege, to welcome all. To break down these barriers and let everyone know that it is okay to roll a 1 from time to time! Just don't let the dice hit the floor. NEVER....let the dice hit the floor.


    F THAT! You know how frustrating it is seeing the same people that used to beat me up for reading comics talking about how much they loved The Avengers?? I very much dig that all things nerdy are finally getting their proper respect. But unless you know what the Tesseract Cube was ORIGINALLY called I don't want to hear how big a fan you are of Marvel...by which you mean 3-4 blockbuster movies that everyone loved. I was there during the hard times, man! I bought my 6 copies of X-Men 1 so I could get all the holograph cards. I remember the days when you couldn't even get decent super hero cartoons, much less feature films. I had to watch as the Hulk turned gray and Spider-Man had a thousand ****ty clones. I paid my dues!

    Now I gotta see hot girls put on fake glasses and pretend to be nerds, because they think Robert Downey Jr. is hot. Get outta my treehouse!! No stoopid girlz allowed!!

    :glasses: :explode: :glasses: :angry: NERD RAGE!!

    (please don't take this seriously)


    the clone saga was the sh****est thing to happen to spider-man... until they put doc ock mind in his body. thankfully that is supposed to end soon.

    I'm wearing a Buffy shirt in my profile pic, that counts for something right?

    Let me see, I play video games (Mass Effect and Dragon Age are my favorites), I've read A Song of Ice and Fire twice, and I ship evvvverrryyyyything that can be shipped. I get ridiculously too into my fandoms (Buffy, aSoIaF and lately Once Upon a Time).

    I also like pubs though. I can only be me, stop trying to put a label on it!!! :p (jk)

    I am a huge geek. My husband and I LOVED the Titanfall beta, and I actively cosplay and go to conventions. If it's nerdy, it's me!

    Boardgames are my biggest weakness. I enjoy Euros and wargames (War of the Rings CE and AGOT are my favorite), co-ops, along with RPGs - currently in Warhammer Fantasy campaign and GM for Edge of the Empire.

    I have more dice than friends.:sad:

    Also missed my calling as an entomologist. I love creepy crawlies and would easily be that weird girl with a basement full of glass tanks filled with my 6 legged brethren. :bigsmile:

    Always happy to make new acquaintances.
