Heck, I just started my job as a Security guard a month or two ago, and I've allready found out that 3 of the 5 co-workers I've worked with are Gamers!!! Unfortunately none of them are female yet, but I'm working on it.
So you're saving for them to get sex change operations?

I figured he was just performing these on his own. He can botch a couple before getting it done right. I am sure there is a tutorial somewhere online.

Arravis,
I knew this was coming when I woke up this morning. 72 sleepless hours apparently left me feeling a bit Homeric, as I can see I did a little cataloguing. You're tripping over the spaces while you walk around the points though.
I know most of those. With the exception of Agent Orange and Tosca (when in the right mood), I don't like them.
Here's a little moral story: I actually came across Tosca in the first place beacuse my ex-girlfriend, who was not a gamer, was first generation American-Polish. Her grandparents had a cat named Taska (or some other way of spelling it). I picked up Opera just because I thought it had the same name as the cat.
If I wanted to be obscure I would mention bands you shouldn't have heard of, like vxtwitch, Shaolin Punk or The StillLife Projector. I was mentioning pack-leaders though, the obvious ones, the ones that sell out every show. The point applies to the shows too though: if I want a girlfriend I don't go to a Thursday show to find one because I want to make sure my girlfriend has the same taste in music as me. Is that obvious and unelitist enough for you?
My point isn't that I'm cool because of the music, or that I choose friends based on their musical tastes (because I don't do that either; I end up getting my friends into this stuff long after we've become friends); it's that having an rpg in common doesn't mean anything when it comes to dynamics between people. As evidenced by this conversation.

Those would be not the two biggest ones. You could probably add Fat Wrech Chords as the third.
That's right. I'm holding interviews for slots on my friends list. Sorry you aren't qualified, based on a resume, a list of skills and experiences that have nothing to do with you as a person. But I wouldn't put any of those preconditions on any kind relationship.
Kant yes. Goethe's poetry and drama, yes. However you're quite correct: I don't do philosophy of science. I wonder though if it is popular to misrepresent it in weak attempts at humor and Starbucks elitism, as is done to Freud and Nietzsche?
Well talking to someone over a messageboard, missing their entire point and then judging them by your mistake will have that effect, won't it?
You started off an aggressor, which puts me on the defensive; the dynamics of the conversation are not going to change. I don't mind letting your remarks go and not trying to justify myself to a random person on the internet anyway, so I think we can leave it at that.
We could argue over what makes someone unique, but I will continually forget to care what you think, so let's not.

I've noticed how it's been misread. I didn't do the misreading though so it's all good. I'll whittle it down for everybody:
Even if you think that relationships should be based on what two people have in common, please acknowledge that a). most interests don't define who you are as a person, and b). having one hobby in common doesn't mean you have much in common at all.
By citing a few of my own interests and how a very specific subset of gamers, the ones at the FLGS's I've been to around my home, do not fit with those interests, I seem to have brought the house down.
And I'm not even a philosopher. I'm a literary critic, so go figure.

What about modern poetry including/after Yeats, basically everything from the death of Swinburne onward? Poetry's what I do, I just carefully replicated the educations of Eliot and Pound as part of my study. For philosophy, I'm actually big on the new stuff (surprise, Searle and Davidson being professors here and all).
