NERD EMPIRE Forum Let's discuss our favorite ner..

So I'm a super fan of the RPG Dungeons and Dragons. I'm considered an "old school gamer" 

Yeah, I was an old school gamer back in the 1990s!
The book "Unsung Heroes" I'm working on is based on a Dragonlance game I DMed!
What RPG campaign setting do you use?
In addition to D&D we played Civilization, and all kinds of computer games from before computers had graphics.  I think I'm one of like 2 people on earth who got the reference to "Zork" in the pilot of the TV show "Chuck"

Lol! Zork. I don't know the reference, but the work makes me chuckle. :) 

Back before there were graphics and computers were just invented and used by very few people, there was Zork, a text based game.  You type "n" to go north and then it says "you are in a clearing there's a tree." then you type "climb tree" etc. Considering computers were rare, you have to be a serious dork to know about that game.

Civilization was kind of like risk, a giant board game, but with cards too.  It could easily take 20 hours to play.  You could develop different aspects, like agriculture, democracy, metallurgy, monotheism etc and they had impacts on the spread of civilization, competing with you friends to take over the world. In retrospect, it propagated the entirely false idea that there was a stadial development (eg from panthesim to monotheism) and that that had game-theory implications for the spread of one civilization over another. So yeah, it was kind of intellectually and ethically wrong.  But it was still a fun game.

I loved being a 90's kid, I got to grow up and watch technology evolve. Till date i'm a hardcore gamer, hitting a vast amount of rpg's, mmorpg's, fps's, and  moba generic games. Some of my all time favorite nerdy movies are probably ; 

My name is AJJordan and I'm a World of Warcraft junkie. This is my first meeting,so...is the tea and coffee free?
