Re: (Granny Magda's Ithika)
My mom is a HUGE fan of WoW and was addicted to EQ. My sister was also into EQ, WoW, and played D&D until the time she got a new job. (She considered not taking the job because it would interfere with D&D night.) So, no, the fact that you're talking about RPGs and MMORGs does not entail male-hood.

Re: (Granny Magda's Ithika)
My girlfriend plays WoW with me almost constantly.
WoW + expansions for 2 people: around $220
Monthly fee for 2 people: $30
Never having your girlfriend scream at you for paying more attention to computer games than her, and in fact nagging you to hurry up and get online before the raid starts, followed by post-raid sex?
Fucking priceless.

Re: (Granny Magda's Ithika)
You lucky dog you!
My fiancee has said she'd let me play WoW again, but considering the fact that planning for a wedding, saving for a honeymoon, working, and having an actual social life (which I didn't really have before) puts quite a crimp in my ability to take her up on the offer.

Re: (Granny Magda's Ithika)
Hi Perdition,
I hear you. In fact, probably the best GM I've ever encountered was a woman. She ran a really thoughtful, role-play intensive game and ran it very well.
I know a few female role-players, but in my experience they are in the minority. I know that MORGs are much, much more successful at attracting female gamers than their dice-rolling counterparts, which can only be a good thing.

Re: (Granny Magda's Ithika)
Seconded.
I met one of my girl friends by playing D&D.
I was her Dungeon Master (fnar,fnar).

Definitely sounds kinkier than I'm sure the actuality was.

No: she was up for anything.

I was looking up comedy on youtube and came across this video of, Patton Oswalt. Thought you guys (nerds ) might enjoy it.

Re: something for the nerds
Dude. You're posting to an Evolution vs. Creationism debate forum.
You argue on the interwebs over SCIENCE! The only thing more nerdy than that is arguing over the interwebs over whether Star Trek or Star Wars would win in a straight up fight, with meticulously derived upper and lower bounds for weapon strength, speed, force size, etc.
We're all nerds here. Except for maybe a few of the Creationists, who fit better in the Jesus-freak clique.
Yeah, I post at that forum too.

I'm afraid I don't understand what he's talking about. Prequels? Darth Vader as a kid? No idea.
the prequels never happened there is only the original trilogy jarjar does not exist darth vader was not a wooden emotionless tool of a teenager he was not beaten by some retarded "anakin i have the high ground" bullshit the clone wars were not some lame clone army of the republic against a bunch of fucking incompetent droids who dont even refer to us as "meatbags" like a proper killer droid the emperor never screamed "unlimited power" and was not named fucking darth sidious he was the goddamned emperor and darth motherfucking sidious is a fucking lame name to give an evil
..(cough)...
What?

The only good expanded universe stuff is the legacy comics.
