One less muskrat

It's what the Orcs used to say a lot in the Warcraft games. I think they say it in WoW too.

Yep, they still say it. It roughly translates to "okay" or "alright" or "let's go!"

Of course every time I played a troll I felt that I should have dreadlocks and be listening to Bob Marley mon!

Time for the When I Was Your Age story . . .

Back in the day, nerds didn't have or need your high falutin', fancy-schmancy computerized role playin' games, with your colorful graphics and your Dolby Surround Sound. They played "Dungeons and Dragons" with a freakin' piece o' paper, a pencil, and a handful of dice in the same room with a bunch o' other nerds until the host's mom told them all to go home (which is embarrassing when you're 37) because she was sick of you smelly kids and besides, they were out of soda and cheezy poofs .

It was all about imagination then. That and walking seven miles to school, barefoot, in the snow, uphill (both directions).

Damn kids.

I made a blood elf when the expansion came out. I thought she was hot. Then realized it was a male. I got confused and ashamed and stopped playing....

You're filthy Alliance? Let me guess.... Night Elf Hunter? Or Gnome Mage!

For Gnomeregan!!!

 

[SilentWarrior1]

Neither, actually.

70 Male NElf Combat Rogue
60 Female NElf Shadow Priest.

It's all about the DPS, baby.

 

[TomN]

HAH! I was right about the Night Elf part though!

 

[SilentWarrior1]

True. I do have a slew of lowbie toons on both sides and numerous servers.

and we played Risk, and Vampire the Masquerade, and a host of other table top RPGs... my favorite was when we played the Marvel RPG. My char was an empath and I kept getting xp for just being me. They could never tell when I was in character or not.

Spooky man.... just spooky!

There's a store on the south side of Indy (just south of 135 and Co. Ln. Rd) called Gamerz. Not only do they SELL all the RPG board games AND cards, but there's also a large room in the back where they actually have card game TOURNAMENTS.

I never saw so many "stereotypical" gamer nerds in my life than the evening I spent there...playing a game called "Midgets" (I think?) A friend's buddy's buddy owns the place, that's the ONLY reason I was there. I swear.

Aw man, you should have been there at the GameStop for the midnight release of the World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade. There were guys there in capes and costumes and wigs, the whole bit. I mean, you have to be somewhat hardcore to show up to a game store at midnight just so you can get the expansion the first moment possible instead of just buying it the next day like normal people. But still, I'm not as hardcore as those guys.


By the way, I think we can officially call this

 

[SilentWarrior1]

I was there. Not in a cape and mask and all that, mind you... But I was there.

I'm geeky... just not that geeky.

There were a couple of guys sitting in a Subway sandwich shop in Columbus last week on a rainy day with a huge tackle box full of cards or something. It looked like Pokemon or something similar. VERY stereotypical-- one big guy, one scrawny guy, big guy had curley hair, scrawny guy had greesy hair. Big guy no glasses, big glasses on toothpick boy. They looked 25+. They looked like they were having a good time though! lol
