Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    I like the overweight pimply-faced D&D nuts ... half of the time. The "down to earth people" are the ones I tend not to get along with. The ones who would show up to meetings drunk because gaming on its own wasn't good enough. :(

    I miss the bipolar anime-loving girls who would infrequently use kawaii in conversation and the guys who made quips about "IT'S OVER 9000" while playing Smash Bros. for six hours straight. I miss those people. :(

    I'm not sure "down to earth" means what you think it means. Or maybe it doesn't mean what I think it means. Either way, the way I used it certainly didn't include people who show up to meetings drunk.
    You created a word spectrum where "down to earth" was the antonym to "overweight pimply-faced D&D nuts." For me, the latter has always been the down to earth people, and the only other people who came to our gaming club were those who would make actual disparaging jokes about the D&D people and then just play Madden/Guitar Hero and then leave feeling smug and superior.

    You forced me to attach the "down to earth" moniker to them. :G

    All of your points are valid, except for the fact that everyone does it.

    Admissions staff see so many of the same recycled types of applications time and time again that something fresh, that makes yours stand out from the rest, is going to grab their attention far more than reading the same inappropriate quote for the umpteenth time.
    Y'know, they wouldn't have this problem if they could write a fucking halfway-decent essay question.

    I'm talking more about the Personal Statement (is there an American equivalent?) part of the application where they just give you a blank slate with a 4,000 character limit and tell you to go nuts.

    The essay questions are probably the one time the Professors get to spew shit and not have to worry about it.

    They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
    They may not mean to, but they do.
    They fill you with the faults they had
    And add some extra, just for you.

    No, this is what they should do in this country (and something I've thought of before, but didn't know they did it other places), but instead, they give you a bunch of piece-of-shit essay questions.

    I was an enormous geek in high school, and the first year or so of college. I got involved with the gaming club then, and I had made a commitment to them that I didn't feel right breaking, even if I hated them. Hated them a lot.

    Really, I should thank them, though, because though I'm still an enormous geek, now I know to hide it, and why so many people react to it the way they do.

    Hey, in my defense no one brings it up as a game they often play or play at all. And currently, if its a boardgame and not 4 digits long, its not discussed.
