[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 2443571, member: 22882"] I certainly qualify as an oddball, if not an outright eccentric, but not in accordance with the 'gamer stereotype.' I don't wear t-shirts, only button-ups or long-sleeved shirts. I only wear jeans when circumstance dictates, preferring slacks and corduroys. I wear a (neatly trimmed) beard, but with short hair. I'm not obsessive about hygiene - I just love taking showers. Mmmm... showers. I don't watch television at all, and so don't watch the Sci-Fi channel. I haven't read comic books in years. I don't bring up gaming around non-gamers, mostly because in many ways I'm sick to death of the subject! :eek: On the other hand, I don't have a girlfriend and actually [U]do[/U] live with my family, but that's because in the former case I have a devil of a time meeting attractive young arch-traditionalists and/or monarchists who don't have a strong religious affiliation and in the second because I don't subscribe to the same cultural biases as you degenerate moderns ;) - why cripple my finances and deprive myself of the advice of my elders by moving out when I don't even have a fiance? I have a steady job, or at least as steady as freelancing can be. That freelancing often crosses into the gaming industry because it's proven easier to get a fair shake in than fiction, and I seem to be good enough at it to attract some interest from those giving the aforementioned fair shake.
