did you see trekkies? There is a Klingon school! www.kli.org costs a lot. My friend Nick thought about doing it despite the cost.
and also, I think you forgot everything comic book related. Does anyone buy, and collect comic books? Have more than 1 subscription? Bought any piece of a hero's costume ( cyclpos's visro, green lantern's ring, captain america's shield, Elektra's sai, i guess eve nthose really expensive lightsabre replicas count) of of the internet?

I don't have any of that crap.

I just buy computer games. The only accessories I might be would be a standard controller, or perhaps a flight-sim type controller.

Lets hear it for nerds, then.

Actually Imran has a point. Nerdy as it applies to trekkies, grognards, DnDers, Civers, etc doesnt really fit the broad mass of preadolescent and adolescent and arguably post-adoloscent males who go in for FPS's, console games, GTA, etc in a big way. Yet socially well adjusted, completely normal, well-rounded, etc hardly seems to fit either (at least not more so than for the nerdier pastimes). What word is applicable then??

No, nerdy is the right word. The right word for trekkies et al, is geeky.

Available from the Virgin Megastore in London as part of a 7 Up/Virgin cross promotion, I think.
I remember it too...

It wasn't too bad... just bad... glad I only rented it back in the day.

That one was much better.


I came here for CtP... but then Macs have about a two-year delay on all of their games...

Just got a couple of role-playing books from Amazon via the 'poly link... that's 'gaming'.

Then there's the buying of MULE for the NES... that was fairly sad too... especially since I still play it...

A little clarification. First, I'm going to assume you are not a DL.

DL is a TLA (two letter acronym) for Double Login. Such a thing on this board can result in vacation time (known on other forums as a temporary ban).

I see everyone is getting their post count up with this useless discussion over DLs except me!

Well not anymore...

Anyway, why are you so worked up because of DLs? You're (We're) all hiding, one way or another....
