Oh lordy. |

He's go at least 4 times a summer. I'm ashamed beyond all reasonable description. As soon as the file started playing i felt all cold inside. I pretended like it was no big deal, hey, i've got my intrests that are pretty lame too....until one day (towards the end, thank god) he mentioned that his group was making him in charge of promotion. "PROMOTION?!" I said, "Like making posters and advertising?" Yeah, he said. "How the hell do you adviertise that thing? Hey! Are you a fully grown man that would like to spend your weekends dressed as a half wolf/half human elf god? Do you enjoy beating up on other losers with nerf weapons? Does sitting down at a table to play D&D just not do it for you anymore? Then for 48 glorious hours, you will not be mocked!" he hung up on me. That truly was the beginning of the end. He had a photo album of past meets he had gone to. Oh, to get my hands on that thing now.... *shudder* |
|
oh my god. it must have been really weird - nearly perverse actually - to date a role play gamer. that trips me out. but i have to admit that i find it oddly soothing to know that even someone as cool as you dated someone like that. for 2 years. did you ever mention that here before? surely you must have. |
hehehehe. |
I need to get a handful of nerf darts and randomly throw them at people. Lightning Bolt! |
When I went to Bath, in England, I saw a man at a cafe dressed in 19-century period clothing. He was in a grey tailed suit, with a cravat and a grey top hat, and he was sitting by himself smoking a thin cigar. Now, see, that's playing dress-up, and yet it's not dorky. (Well, who knows what else the guy did.) I'm just rambling now. |
|
That guy in the cafe sounds more like cute dorky. |
cute dorky. Magic: The Gathering with sound effects: gayface dorky. Doing a 15 minute monologue about the merits of Risk 2210 AD over traditional Risk: I am such a geek. Geebas on Parade. |
I used to know a guy who does the occasional live role playing stuff. I find it tremendously nerdy, but the guy himself was a hot little number who could have had any girl in the library (which sounds worse than it is). Half the girls I know Still have crushes on him, and he hasn't lived in ontario in a couple of years. maybe I'm not the best judge of what's overly-geeky and not; I'm excited about meeting the voice of an almost-Muppet. I'M SO EXCITED! |
as in: "ATTENTION: There will be NO elves allowed at the Geekfest County Helms Deep reenactment this Saturday. Gladden Fields Battle schedule TBA" |
Fantastic game, btw. Just absorbing, the amount of detail. |
|
ohmygodican'tbelieveyoudidn'tknowthat. |
|
I said it with a an incredulous tone, "There weren't elves at Helms Deep!!" And that was technically correct as Legolas was the sole elf there in the book. |
|
I hope he didn't kill himself. |
Oh deary, now I'm all blushing. How sweet of you. I assure you, I've done tons of dorky crap. I don't think i ever mentioned THAT thing about him here (or IRL, to anyone, *EVER*) for, uhm, obvious reasons. I have mentioned him before though in general. A little. He did that in the summer and played Vampire:the Masquerade during the winter. Not the regular card and book Vampire RGP either, but LIVE as well, in some dirty goth club's basement. It was just as creepy as you can imagine. To this day, whenever i hear any terms used from that game i feel all gross and tense! He also played Warcraft. If you know what that is, I'm sorry. I'll say in my defense that this was like 7/8 years ago, and it was mostly a long-distance thing. Thinking back now, we were really only using each other as fashion accessories rather than signifigant others. What a terrible terrible thing. He was a special guy though, when i broke up with him he threatend to get revenge on me.... through his pagan gods!!! It was a bad scene, he was all weeping and i couldn't stop giggling. Thankfully it was only over the phone. The guy had issues. But oh the things i did learn, mostly about geek-ness. |
