I believe I’m suffering from GGWS: Good Game Withdrawal Syndrome. And the latest headlines about the delay of GTA IV, are not helping my symptoms. Hopefully, the GTA IV delay isn’t a trend starter. There are only a few good looking games on the horizon and I don’t want to hear about any more freaking delays. If I don’t get something good to play soon, I may go crazy, buy a bunch of candles and a camera and do what this dude did:
The latest Geek Monthly mentioned a quiz you could take to determine your appropriate label. And because I’m a nerd, I immediately took it. It’s a fun 10-minute time killer.
Here are my results:
Your Score: Pure Nerd
69 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 21% Dork
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.
The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the “dork.” No-longer. Being smart isn’t as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.
Today is a very special day for The Game Dame. Yes, my friends, I got a text message from Jesus. Well, not DIRECTLY. But one of his Home Saints was spreadin the Werd.
Here’s the message I got:
Jesus said “If u deny me in front of ur friends, I will deny u n front of my father!” If u luv him send this to 10 of ur friends.
I don’t recognize the number it came from and when I did a Google search, nothing came up for it. At first, I assumed the message must have come from some earth-bound religious fanatic. But then I started thinking that there’s really no reason that Saint Peter and the angels wouldn’t be down with the latest TXT lingo. Maybe it’s part of a J.C. media blast. I can visualize the pitch now:
ANGEL EXECUTIVE #1: Alright, Jesus. Here’s the deal. The kids today want a savior they can relate to. So… we’re going to have to change your image a bit.
JESUS: *sigh*
ANGEL EXECUTIVE #2: Oh, come on J-Dog, chin up.
JESUS: I really wish you’d stop calling me that.
ANGEL #2: Sorry.
ANGEL #1: Soooooo! Here’s what we’ve come up with. We’ve compiled data on the 13-30 year old demographic we’re having such a hard time capturing and it seems that they all have one thing in common…
ANGEL #1 & #2: TEXT MESSAGING!!!
JESUS: Text messaging?
ANGEL #1 & #2: TEXT MESSAGING!!!
JESUS: What’s wrong with stone tablets?
ANGEL #1: J, baby. Stone tablets are out. Digital tablets are IN!
JESUS: Alright, talk to me.
ANGEL #2: We’ve organized an entire text messaging campaign combining two things that these mortals love: text messaging AND stuff they can send to their friends. There’s NO WAY this can backfire on us.
ANGEL #1: This could be good, baby. Really good. You won’t just be Jesus anymore. You’ll be… you’ll be…
ANGEL #2: CYBER Jesus.
ANGEL #1: YES! Perfect. Cyber Jesus. Whattaya think? I see a lot of potential with this one!!!
