Gertie "Xath" Barden...

Speaking of dapper, let's not forget scholar's kilt, reveal's pimp suit or Crothian's leather pants!

Crothian? I thought it was Gwydion who wore the skin suit.

Instead of Gen Con, this summer I'm going to Brazil, land of hot men and hotter women. I wonder what a gamer con looks like in Brazil.

Mainly comprised of hookers and death squads.

Pfft. I've been doing that for years. And I'm straight.

It keeps them on their toes.

You haven't still got those pictures of me, have you? I paid you years ago!

Of course he does. They're saved in the folder named "Geeky British Heartthrob" on his desktop. :heart:

Yeah, that was the subtle punchline.

Hookers and Death Squads, eh? Sounds like an cool game!

I KNOW! Q_D ran that game last year, and I was a player. And to bring this full circle, so was Xath. That's where I heard her Australian accent.

Although that's not exactly what we called it, of course. I think we just referred to it as the Rocket Segways at DisneyWorld game. With hips like whoa.

I think this year at GenCon I'm just going to wander around taking pictures of non-fat-beardy guys. When they ask what I'm doing, I'm going to say, "I don't know what I expected from the guys at GenCon, but you surpass!"

I'll try and wear deodorant that day

I'm shocked this turned into such a big deal. Noticing an attractive female is now exclusively in the realm of "stereotypical nerdy males"?

WTF?

The biggest non-"shock" of the thread should be that gamer girls are normal girls... and I thought Xath was prettier then the average "normal girl". I watched her video on the front page twice because she was really pretty, and I liked her voice, so I decided to post a silly little (truthful) comment in the off topic forum.

The whole point was so that Xath could come into the forum, see this thread, and feel (if even just a minuscule amount) good about herself.

If any of you want to turn that into a bad thing, I accuse *YOU* of perpetuating that nasty stereotype that "gamer guys" don't know how to talk to women. Because dropping a small non-threatening compliment to an attractive woman is... believe it or not... something women tend to appreciate.

Anyway... I'm glad Xath didn't post in this thread. I hope she didn't even see the things some of you said.

LOL! PLEASE DO! Guys like compliments from cute girls as much as they like them from cute guys. Maybe I'll have to get to GenCon this year.
