ok, i like reading GMR magasines, but i noticed that they always say stuff like "Gamesworkshop is the geekiest thing ever" or "only losers with no lives play GamesWorkshop" so tell me do you fall into any of these catagories? and how do you feel about them making fun of us? they sit in front of screens (well i do to) and we play Gamesworkshop, i dont feel there should be any confict! so, whatd ya think? squeekz |

GMR? Some video-gaming magazine or something? I am satisfied with my own social life and don't care a bit what some writer has to say about it. Going out and being sociable and meeting with other people who share your hobby is better than sitting in your basement telling off others that 'U R TEH ROXXORZ!' to those on a computer screen, in my opinion anyways. But I do a little of both (minus stupid leet speak). |

Who the bloody hell should bother to worry about what other people think of them? If anyone wants to call me geeky or having no life they can do that to my face and I will laugh at them. What or who are GMR anyway? |

I am currently writing an epic Dragon Age 2 adventure that can be found HERE!! or on my deviantart.

*grins* i have a large group of sociable, hairy and horribly beweaponed friends who disagree with that opinion...... people who play warhammer are not sad little people, just dont make it the focal point around which your whole life rotates, cause thats when things go bad.... and playing hammer in GW shops really is great way to meet people or get to know aquaintences better, whereas (as everyone says) sitting on a pc and talking L33T really is the stupider of the two. ...... |

i am a large, hairy beweaponed socialite too, no one calls me a geek [at least to my face]. and i wouldn't care if they did. at least i get out and actually meet my opponents face-to-face. the mags are just jealous. | ||

What is GMR? I know plenty of people who play GW games who arent loosers, and I find it offensive that people make those generalisations that we are. But if by insulting us is the only way that they can feel sercure in themselves, then they can go ahead! But it definately isnt true... |

Ha! HAHA! those fools... *grins* I picture the writer as a fat guy sitting behind his computer, playing stupid games all day. I am a bit geeky, I have to agree(aren't we all? Since geeky is nothing more than being different from the herd) but I have a life... I started this year as a teacher, I have just married the love of my life, I do all kind of charity work, I pray to God(or Jesus, depends on it) Yes, I have a life, but I am sure that writer doesn't. Be like me, don't care what other people think, and you will be fine. |

It always seems to be people who arent happy in themselves that insult others eh? I am too a bit geeky at times, but I honestly dont care if people think that of me, coz I enjoy life. They think I am? its their problem, not mine. |

Bet you the bloke who says these things is 40, single and lives with his mother in her basement only coming out brifly away from the computer screen to eat and drink, i hate stupid morons like that, i persoanlly have a group of friends some considered very cool people to know who play it. Please tell this plonker that it takes a lot more skill to paint and operate and army of warhammer then to play a computer game, and it is far more rewarding. |

Actually there's one little hole in that argument- being dead isn't directly being cool Being dead is being cold, and cold is another word for cool, so I'm cool, and therefore have a life, so I'm not dead, (paradox) Besides, I think I fall into all three categories- I spend at least 10 hours a day in front of my computer, I play warhammer as often as I can (admittedly, not that much), and I have a pretty great social life... I just realized how much my life kicks tail!

Hm. I am a geek. Proud of it. Would you want to be one of those stupid morons who runs around with his pants half-way down his ass smoking pot and claiming he's cool at my age?(13, nearly 14) Neither do I. I'm also a genius, don't like too many people(paranoia, really), and spend approximately 6 hours a day on the computer, 6 hours a week on warhammer, and 5 hours a day in front of the TV or listening to my music. Plus listening to music while on the computer. And I do have friends. Hell, I have more friends than any "cool" person I've ever met does. Funny, that. ![]() Oh, and... well, screw some stupid 40-year-old Trekky-gone-gamer's opinion of me. At least I can leave my house without shame of my mother yelling at me "You forgot your diapers!"
