Gertie "Xath" Barden...

[Heckler]

I hope she DOES! Xath, you totally snaked that karaoke win out from under me! I deserved a cash prize for my searing rendition of "Summer Lovin''" :fist:

So true (dapper, indeed!)

So which one of you...lovelies...was ONJ?

I think we should do a Boys of EN World calendar as a fundraiser (perhaps for one of Gary's favorite charities?). There's gotta be at least 11 more of you gamer guys who are as outside the gamer geek box stereotype hot as I am, right?

I call September!!!!

At least one of the months would need to feature a D20 nestled between some hairy man-boobs. That would be like printing money.

Touche. I probably shouldn't have said that. I apologize.

Friends?

Yup, s'all good man.

 

[Agamon]

Dude...I'd be careful... by the look of that book's layout I'm pretty sure she has super powerz.

Yup. That's the reason for the ! in DangerGirl!

The Danger is fairly important, too. The Girl just kinda makes sense.

Should not have read that while eating lunch.

Excuse me while I go scrub my brain of that image.

Hey! If I was single, and still my young self, I would ask both Xath and Queen to go out with me. Not at the same time, though.

However I am still happily married (17+ years) to my original gamer girl. Yes, I even owe Gary for finding my wife. We both started gaming with 1E. It was nice/great to have each others shoulders to cry on to mourn Gary's passing. We even got drunk together over it.

I knew he lived in a tree, but I didn't realize he had a donkey too!

I heard rumours that a certain body part of his was like a horse. I don't know where the donkey came from. Probably that "purple monkey dishwasher" syndrome that's been going around lately.

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.

Dude, what you did wasn't stereotypical nerdy. It was stereotypical boorish. You just blurted out that some woman, in the third person, was really attractive. While that's short of "Whoah, baby! Hot mama!" and wolf-whistling at women as they walk by a construction site, you might have been better advised to drop her a line telling her that you saw the video, liked what she had to say, and thought that she looked really good while saying it.
She may find even that creepy for all I know, but at least you avoid the pitfalls of appearing a boor in front of the rest of us. And it's more personal.

That was "Funkytown" later in the evening... when everyone was a lot more drunk.
