Mockery
Something Positive today was very good. Apparently Randy (the cartoonist) had been getting some flak from his readers about a recent string of mockery that he had unleashed at the most underpriveleged of minorities.... gamer geeks.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Okay, now that Chicken Little has said his bit, isn't it our right as gamers to mock ourselves? I mean, I know that my hobby isn't mainstream and we as a social group have an amazing talent at 'freaking the mundanes' and threfore reinforcing their negative stereotype of our hobby, so if others can mock us for our stupidity... why can't we mock ourselves? Anyways I fired off an email to Randy, directing him to:

I think he would be amused by those... I am. Anyways... back to Purgatory turns! (I am such a devoted geek).
