"Blessed are the Geeks, for they shall inherit the Earth…" A thread for discussing all things geek.

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

Well so much for telling us we're childish. All this thread did was bring us out of the woodwork and unite us. And we are a diverse, clever, witty bunch who have varied interests.

Whatever you're into, talk about it here. (Non passive aggressive )

Just got in to find my Xbox One and copy of Fallout 4 had arrived!! looks like dd is cooking dinner tonight!!

[MoiraBrown101]

Haha MrsDrake, my DP gets those comments too! His response is generally "yeah she bought me it and now I can't get her off the thing"

That thread really made me smile, all the gamers coming out in defence of gaming!

DP's currently playing witcher 3, which is SO good. I've banned him from buying Fallout 4 because his mums getting it for him for Christmas until the price comes down. Really can't wait to get on that! The reviews are looking good so far.

I have found my spiritual home! Hello fellow geeks!

We are a household of gamers

My new Xbox One is due to be delivered today along with Fallout 4 and then Rise of the Tomb Raider! We are mainly PS4 but Tomb Raider swayed me to take the Xbox One plunge as I can't wait a whole year for it to come to PS4!

My DP loves the reaction of some of his mates when they comment that they 'can't believe MrsD 'lets' you have 2 consoles in the bedroom' and his reponse is 'well, MrsD bought them!'

Currently playing Assassins Creed Syndicate which I am loving- well I was until I got stuck in an unbreakable desynchronisation loop and looks like I won't be able to continue until Ubisoft get off their arse and patch it. In the meantime, I am playing a bit of Unity which is actually much better than I expected it to be and thankfully relatively bug free now!

I loved that thread where the OP was going on about gamers being childish and was delighted to see how many of my fellow geeks are out there!

[GladysTheGolem]

Thanks for the recommendation Tali will hunt it down!

Fallout 4 has been dispatched. I know some people who already have it. Arse

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

That happened to me as well. I did that mission about 3 times until it completed.

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

Argh I've hit a really glitchy bit of syndicate. The vox populi mission. It froze towards the end and I'm ashamed to say I shot Karl Marx in the head to make it end. It's been fine up until this point.

[PreciousxBane]

Toria how did you treat your RSI?

I had the house to myself for a few evenings so binged on Destiny and my wrists and near my thumbs ache like mad so am having a break. Getting withdrawal symptoms.

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

Gladys. There's a game called Wide world, it's vintage. My friend has it and its good and really annoying at the same time.

[GladysTheGolem]

Is anyone a board game Geek? Care to recommend any?
I go to a club in a pub & always on the look out for new ones (Small World, Pandemic etc)

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

That's it!!!!!!! I officially hate Syndicate.

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

kacie I think I am too. It's definitely more fun to play than Unity was. It's a beautiful looking game.

[Kacie123]

I may be a bit addicted to Syndicate that's a lie I definitely am.

Beautiful graphics, I love exploring industrial London. And you can turn blood splatter off, as a squeamish person that's fantastic

Meanwhile just seen on another thread that Xbox 360 games will soon be playable on the Xbox 1 - which ones should we look at, any recommendations?

[PreciousxBane]

I got a blister playing Defender.

I have started playing Destiny, what a beautiful game it is. Myself and xbox mate in the States are playing zombie games on halloween!

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

My copy of syndicate is being held hostage somewhere in Newtownabbey.

Alas, I did not wear my flux t shirt. I dressed like Evie Frye in a black steampunk tailcoat. But there was an awesome bloke dressed as Doc Brown in his future clothes (that crazy suit,visor and see through tie) posing next to the steam locomotives.

[GeekLove]

I've got my share of Wiinjuries myself. Sore thumbs playing Mario Strikers Charged. The best and most violent football game ever!

[Kacie123]

Well, we're through the tutorial mission for Syndicate and so far I think the graphics are incredible ... I kind of miss the Caribbean and the music of the other game though!

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

I ripped skin of my hand button mashing during Beijing Olympic game.

Yeah, it came today.

[Toria2014]

Tekken related injury - more boring than it sounds, basically RSI relating to fighting games!

You've got your copy already Tali, I'm jealous! Mines not due 'til Monday. :(

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

Not impressed 5 mins in and already the game has bugged out. Fuckers.

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

Mine won't arrive till Monday!

[Kacie123]

Bought Syndicate, can't wait

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

Syndicate is on the way. Fucking yes!!

[Rdoo]

I think you HAVE to do that Jacob!

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

I think as a certified geek Jacob, it is your duty to do just that.
