Night Of Nerdcore

It’s too bad there weren’t more get togethers like this in my younger days.  It would have helped alleviate a lot of the whole “youthful alienattion and lack of sense of belonging” that plagued so much of my youth.  The wife and I spent the evening with “my tribe” that is to say, gamers.  A gathering of Indie Gamers in one ring leader’s home occurred, to which I had the good fortune to be invited despite not being an indie game developer, thanks to my game journalism “street cred.”  The end result being a lot of LittleBigPlanet , Mirror’s Edge and other games being played with the topics of discussion being almost entirely about games.  It was nerdy, there were D&D references aplenty, and I didn’t feel the least bit out of place.

My God, I’ve found my people.
