I went to the local tabletop gaming store the other day for the first time in over a decade (the last time was during my D&D nerd phase). I was trying to pick up a copy of One Night: Ultimate Werewolf (a quick-playing Mafia-type game that I played at a party and really liked). The last time I was in this store, it was full of Warhammer and D&D pieces, was run by a friendly older fat guy, and had a room in the back for local gaming groups. It had changed. A lot. By the entrance was a rack of overpriced snacks: cheetos, energy drinks, pocky, all sorts of dork fuel. The clerk was a goateed gentleman who didn't greet me or ask what I was looking for, as he was too busy hitting his e-cig like a futuristic bounty hunter. There was a huddled group of nerds at the center of the store discussing what I could only parse as Yugioh strategies. The collective reeked of cat piss and looked like it was 11 months out from its yearly shower. Another guy in the shop was using the store's free wifi on his laptop to play some MMO I wasn't familiar with that I have later come to find out is called Scarlet Blade. Don't google that name at work. It's basically a porn game. This guy was playing this in front of the whole store, with no shame at all. And then, right as I was giving up on finding the game among the untidy racks of randomly arranged games, one of the cat pee group members unrolled his My Little Pony poster to the excitement of the entire troll collective. I left and bought the game on Amazon. This trip confirmed that these kind of people are actually out there, in the wild, and do sometimes leave their houses.  Scarlet Blade Screenshots

These kinds of people are the logical conclusion of nerd culture. Boycott Big Bang Theory.
