I’m still trying to figure out if the venue was chosen for the astonishingly bad customer service, the amazing lack of interesting atmosphere, the rock-hard seating, or the proliferation of gamer geekboys who stare at most girls like we’re some kind of nasty multi-legged critter than just crawled across their pizza. Trust me, Mari – you don’t want to date anyone who hangs out there often. For example, I’ve seen a few clones of that one guy I briefly dated (“I’m avant-garde, intense, and mysterious”).

Heh. Now the proliferation of gamer geekboys isn’t so bad. Provided they’re attractive, shower daily and don’t gawk at females like they’re a rare and unusual breed. Granted, that’s the 1% of the geekboy population that if you’re lucky and can find one who isn’t taken.

What’s worse is when you’re playing a game with your hottie leather clad chick character and someone who can only be a smelly uneducated gamer geekboy in RL has the nerve to blatantly follow you around the virtual city you’re playing in. How do they know if /I’m/ not a smelly gamer geekboy too in RL?
