Wizards of the Coast = Disney 2.0

Red box starter set.

Re-releasing the classics everyone loved as a kid. They make it sound like it's letting you relive your childhood, when really they're just doing it for the profit with no R&D needed.

Edit: Actually this tool is pretty handy.

It took you this long to know this existed? This has been out for months.

[Micteu]

Yeah. I don't follow gaming much; I just happened to look at an ad on the Goblins site.

Your nerd card is under review.

Don't follow gaming much. Pfft.

[Micteu]

Unlike some of us, my female companion has little appreciation of the finer things in life, such as D&D. Thus, by spending time with her, I take away my time of doing cool stuff. Although I didn't really care about the new releases of a corporation as money-hungry as Wizards before I went out with her, either.

[The Glandash]

Suuuuuuuure. Blame it on the girlfriend and anti-corporate sentiments.

Pfft. Nerd card: REVOKED. Now you're just a geek.

[Micteu]

Actually, shouldn't it be geek card revoked and now I'm just a nerd?

Nerd: Someone whose average intellect is higher than normal but has lower than normal intellect in social areas. Most other areas are higher than normal (someone who knows a bit about a lot of things, a jack of most trades).
Geek: Someone who extremely specializes in one area, allowing all other types of intellect to fall below normal (someone who knows every possible detail about a specific subject, a lesser version of an idiot savant).

[The Glandash]

Geek is typically derogatory, nerd is not.

Go with geek. Its also a person who bites the heads off live chickens.
