[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 7180729, member: 5100"] I was a science nerd, in high school, and even spent a couple years studying engineering in college, before deciding I didn't want to do it for the rest of my life. I feel a bit of pity for the players I've had who watch a lot of anime and want those weapons and armor. Just a bit. I actually ended up with a degree in political science (and ended up in IT -- which isn't that different than engineering). Occasionally, I find things that just don't make sense in terms of how nations function. I'm the only one in the group who even remotely cares, though, so I roll with it... usually. On the other hand, the majority of the folks have been IT professionals for a couple decades. When we opt to handwave computers, there's nothing subtle about it.
