Volume I, Issue 28
December 15 - December 22, 1997
There's no better time than the holiday season to TOTALLY NERD
OUT. And I'm here to help. Slip into your M.C. Escher tee-shirt,
fill your Star Trek mug with Pepsi, and let's take a look-see
at the fabulous nerdiness inhabiting this week's arts and leisure
section.
Before I go on, let me just say that I'm not putting down nerd-dom.
Why I myself can quote liberally from any number of nerdy movies
("We are the knights who say 'nee'!"), and have been
known to spend full weeks in front of a computer screen. Plus
I've got the most fabulous pouch of colored, translucent, weird-ass
dice you ever did see.
Which brings me to Good Games for Adventurous Minds, a must
read for anyone with a nerd to shop for. From Magic: The Gathering
to Vampire: The Masquerade, this article's Got: It All. All, that
is, except for summaries of totally awesome Sony Playstation games.
You'll have to go here or here for those.
Naturally, all this shopping can be done from the very computer
at which you sit. No need to comb your wildly unkempt hair or
confront the light of day. Whew. If you should need a break between
online orders, though, check out this Dead Pool web site; it's
quite nerdly. And remember: no matter where you go, there you
are.
I expect you'll be up late. Please know that when the Pepsi goes
flat, coffee is where it's at. So just forget about tea as a substitute
drink. As the great Christopher Lambert once said, There Can Be
Only One. (nee!)
