I had brought up some video game while I was talking to this guy I see regularly at this magic shop. He had said that people who play video games are way in the center of the forest while people that play magic are like in the edge of it.
I said that people who play video games are near the edge while magic the gathering was in the center, just surrounding those who cosplay and who read harry potter.
and the people who play D&D and Warhammer are not even in the forest, they're outside of the forest rolling dice pretending they're in the forest they're so nerdy.
how does the nerd forest work?
I don't think video games are all that nerdy, considering most guys play them at my school. I don't think the football team can fit under the nerd category,
when you said magic shop i thought you meant pulling bun buns from hats

As far as I'm concerned, there's hardcore gamers, who are complete nerds, and the more casual gamers, who can be anyone.

I think you're both extremely nerdy when it comes to life in general.

But if you ask a girl to play Galactic Attack with you, they never talk to you again. I've experienced this on multiple occasions.

I hate saying "hardcore gamer" because it makes me think of people that obsess over a single game or series and play it all night everyday. You know, like those kids that just play Halo every spare second of their lives and can spend hours taking about some some bullet deflected and a rock broke and fell onto some guy and snapped his arm and how seven polygons fell into the ground, without even realizing how terrible such physics would be and without even knowing what the hell a polygon is.
I'm just a bastard that plays everything I can find for a fair price.

To me, a "hardcore" gamer is someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes video games.

Yes but that wasn't the point of that post.
I actually played in a Magic tournament this weekend. My first actual tournament and I won 2 games out of 4. If I had won the last one I would have been in the top 4 out of about 20 people. I fucked up because they were rushing me.
Everyone that played against me played so fucking slow. My games always were the last the finish.
no you obviously don't understand
Warhammer isn't even remotely similar to D&D, but D&D folks are way outside the forest rolling dice wishing they were in the forest
Magic is closer to the center than video games
In my defense, Warhammer itself isn't that nerdy. Most of the people who play it are, but painting models and building scenery from scratch and stuff is really more akin to doing detailed woodwork and other artistic hobbies than D&D, which is purely cute storylines and d20 rolling.
What type of tree's inhabit the nerd forest?

Warhammer is painting figures and so is d&d for all I care.
Yes, you don't have to but most of the time they do. Warhammer isn't as much pretend but any game that isn't a sport that requires a tape measure is pretty nerdy to me.

and i suppose having little make-believe battles with your tiny little artistic figurines isn't nerdy at all

Eh he called video games nerdy and I just asked him where he was.
(We were in a Warhammer store playing in a MTG tournement)
