CantWaitAnymore -> Fellow Geeks (12/16/2007 10:08:06 PM)
So who'd call themselves a geek here? I would, since I'm a game designer and basically spend half my life playing or working on video games. Anyone else?

Hey William Shatner is a shaman that plays WoW, not that it's relevant, just saw the commercial! I kind of doubt he really does though. Anyhow, if a gamer is a geek then I am one. MMO's mostly. What type of games do you design?

CantWaitAnymore -> RE: Fellow Geeks (12/16/2007 10:13:23 PM)
Well, I used to work on "The Sims" titles, but was mostly a programmer then. Now I'm working at a company that does RPGs.

I don't know, I am not much of a gamer. But I am tickled silly about the rerelease of 'Blade Runner' on Tuesday. I already reserved a copy to buy at my video store. I am also a huge fan of scifi and horror B-movies. I embarrass the shit out of people when I go to video rental places with them. They want to hide their head when I take a copy of something along the lines of, 'Chainsaw Hooker Nuns from the Planet Neptune' up to the counter. So I guess I am kind of a geek in many ways.

DnD 4.0 Is coming out soon...

SterlingDS -> RE: Fellow Geeks (12/17/2007 12:55:16 AM)
Yeah 4.0 looks like it will be cool. Glad they're going to go with the Unearthed Arcana spell point system, I hear. And the Star Wars sage edition 'roll vs their save' stuff.

Feh. AD&D First Edition if you simply must have all the bells and whistles, otherwise I don't know why the Basic D&D rules aren't good enough for you damn kids....

I certainly would refer to myself as a geek. I spend most of my waking hours in front of a computer screen. 12+ hours a day as a network administrator. My PC is hardly a gaming rig, though it does have 2TB of space. I do most of my gaming on my xbox360. I've considered giving WoW a try since there are 50 billion addicted people on there. Right now, i'm giving EQII a shot. I've never been a huge RPGer, so it's different. I generally prefer an FPS.

raises hand i'm a geek and proud of it. certified LAN Admin - mostly installing, training, and documenting for a few clients on the side however since i'm into net radio - at the computer constantly typing reviews and listening to new bands.

On behalf of all the geeks, I'd just like to say: I've been telling you all along that Lord of the Rings was cool.
