Right About Now
The doorknob to the room in which my computer is located has a Do Not Disturb type sign hanging on it that I got free from GoGamer.com. I hung it on there just as a laugh when I was unpacking my order. However, I haven't taken it off yet. My wife teases me every time I strap my headphones and mic on for a game. I laugh with her, but I don't take them off. I'm nearly thirty and I still catch myself saying, "I'll go to bed in a minute. I just need to get past this one level!" Every now and then I see myself with startling objective clarity and I am forced to acknowledge my true self with a small sigh and a big roll of the eyes. Shortly thereafter I have to run out and by my wife a handful of diamonds or a car or something because I can't believe she's still putting up with me.

What scares me is that I can almost recite the other end of that conversation the character is having from memory.
"Rita, do you know why Phish broke up? It's because hippies are dirty, poor-ass loser stanks. Just ignore them and they'll go away." - Wonderella
It first occured to me about the day I decided it would be a cool idea to create my own gaming website.- Elysium

You have a gaming website? I thought you only had a blog...

Certis says: I want you to have less friends and more, distant, chilly acquaintances.
Zing!

"Wicked Fat Gulp"I try not to swear too often on the site but that was f*cking brilliant Sway.
Yeah, it's scary. I'm staring into the abyss right now, and it's staring into me, which I think is kind of a dick move on the abyss's part. - Nyles
I'm 32, and I'm still in denial. I'm one of those people that go around saying NO, I'M NOT A DORK. YOU ARE!or is that , I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?
Why do I admire videogames so much?
There's nothing else on earth that entwines art and science so closely.
Yes... one of the developers at work called a bunch of us 'sad geeks' on Friday.
We were trying to get a team photo in Enemy Territory... so that we could put it on a t-shirt... Mayhaps she had a point.
I really didn't have the money to become a serious geek until recently (like age 28 out of my current 32). Sometime back in college one of my friends introduced me to using the word "geek" in a positive, verb-like fashion. As in, "I'm totally geeked about the temple of elemental evil coming out." or "I'm really geaked out about these Plantronic 500s..."My wife of course thinks I'm a total dork as I shout to people across the internet, "there's an m.g. by the double doors; I need backup!!" I'm still holding onto, "serious geek" though as my label of choice. Sure I do all of the geek stuff and then some, but I equate "dork" with social (that is, out in public) ineptitude.So I guess, socially I'm a serious geek, and privately I'm a complete dork. No wait, I was trying to disprove something there...damnit.
I asked my friend this same question. He claims that "geeks" or "dorks" are people that argue about nothing. So I guess everyone in the P&C forums are dorks. Also a "Dork" is actually a whale penis. So unless I have changed since last I checked, I am not a walking whale penis.
