This is probably true, but if not, he should be introduced to this girl:
Now I don't play Magic (I used to) but that is one awesome piece of clothing.
This is from the PAX cos-play gallery, but I couldn't help reposting it. Here's another thing. I have a friend who doesn't fit the nerd stereotype at all. He plays baseball with me on the weekends, he rides his mountain bike, he's on a softball team and drinks like a fish. But he's also way into Magic. When we were on the field last Sunday, he was on his friend talking to his friend about what sort of deck he was going to use when he got home. If there is justice in the universe, the writer of that article will never get a date again. At least not from the smarter crowd.
Nice Fullmetal Alchemist refrence if anything can describe her reaction to him it is pride from brotherhood
Okay, I've got no idea what the comic is referring to and from the little info I gleamed from the writer's blurb, it really isn't worth my time to read the links or even ask for someone to give me the gist of it. So, instead of doing that, anyone got any funny antidotes or snippets of worldly advice they would like to share?
"Mewling Cylon infiltrator"? "Knee-deep in succulent vaginas"? It's like a 1-2 combination of awesome quotability.
Anyway. Bizarrely enough, probably the most upsetting part to me about this whole kerfluffle was Susan Arendt's apology piece (and not even "upsetting" so much as "mildly displeasing"). I don't feel obliged to apologize for the actions of any other man; the same should hold true for women. Condemn the arrogant little guttersnipe as the backstabbing twit that she is, congratulate yourself for not being that sort of person, and move on.

I've never liked Gizmodo in the first place, they're kinda...well, they're jerks. Case in point:
They also took that iPhone prototype apart after it was found in a bar (the first time)http://gizmodo.com/5520164/this-is-apples-next-iphone
So yeah, I tend to stay away from Gizmodo in the first place, and am not surprised at all that they let this drek appear on their site.

Heeeeeey . . I read your rant. I am offended that you consider me a "nobody" and will now take all of my lack of artistic skills and draw some very crappy stick figures making fun of you for this affront to my very fragile ego.
