[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 6120683, member: 63"] Based on the tags I see when I quote your post (stuff like [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]), it looks like you copy-pasted from a Word document, which causes the site to try to match your formatting. If you do that, it's often best to click the icon with a red X at the top left, which removes formatting, making it easier to read. Oh, and I personally thing the Big Bang Theory is a piece of sh**, because it's designed for people to laugh at geeks. The Guild on the other hand is funny because it's meant for geeks to laugh at themselves. I mean, the woman in charge, Felicia Day, is a gamer. She's pointing out that we do a bunch of stupid stuff in our hobbies, but she still does it with love. And Eureka is funny because everyone laughs at everyone. The sheriff is a charming dolt. The scientists have a nice mix of personality types, but everyone has a flaw, be it foolishness, egocentrism, or various obsessions with their own pet projects. (Except for Allison, who is just an all-around bad-ass.) Have you seen The League? It's a show about Fantasy Football guys. It's clearly made with love, and they make fun of each other like crazy. Now, sure, we don't have a super serious drama about RPGing, but most of the comedy out there is not done out of malice or mockery. Except, I reiterate, for the Big Bang Theory, which is atrocious.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
