Online Geeking Summit

If you are a stereotypical person, you would often claim a person who reads a lot of books, spends more time on a computer and wears black or khaki slacks on a high waistline as a nerd. If a person enjoys more time playing online games rather than going out with “real” friends instead of pixelized ones, then he would happen to be a dork as well.

I’m sorry to say, even though I have some characteristics that would easily identify me as a geek, I happen to believe that I am a stereotypical person as well. And an ass…if you don’t mind.

I knew that all these nerds would think they are cool if they go to a venue called “NBC Tent at The Fort”. But for an event called “Online Gaming Summit”, I think it’s a big burst in their bubble. What do you expect to see in an “Online Gaming Summit”? Guys who work out and surfs in Bora? Girls who shops at Greenbelt? Cool dudes with cool cars?

NO!

All you could see in that place are GEEKS. Geeks geeks geeks geeks geeks geeks geeks geeks geeks geeks GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Geeks in all shapes and sizes. The usual fat bastards who think they are smarter than anyone, those thin, smelly, dorks who wears school pants and topsiders, even nerds in costume! The only beautiful people there are the models HIRED by the sponsors to give some spark to the event.

But the pathetic thing is…even though this place has models and bands like Mojofly, the dorks don’t give a damn shit about it! Nothing is more important to them than free gameplay!!!

Sure, there’s a cute “live” girl wearing an archer costume, but for them…nothing’s more cooler than a level 255 Muse Elf which looks so sexy on the VGA screen!



Those geeks barely notice the best things on the event.


Come on Nerds! That is why events like these take place, you SOCIALIZE with people! Those pointdexters never even talk to each other, except through “ingame” chat. And they don’t care about eating as well…those dweebs playing MU and Gunbound never left their “free gaming” desk for ten straight hours! Those poor little kids who had a hard time trying to convince their moms to go that event end up playing nothing at all!

Feeling that I had a spare of luck...I saw a spare seat after going around in repetitive order (just like playing trip to Jerusalem until I could find a free seat) but only to be reprimanded by a thin oaf (who only took a pee) saying that it’s his place and why did I fail to see his powerful Blade Knight on the monitor screen. “I’m already at level 215, can’t you see?” he brags. I was about to say “Can’t you see I’m obviously the bigger guy and I could smash your frail body to a bloody pulp?!” but looking at my young cousins who’s behind me, I decided not to ruin their day.


A geek girl stares blankly at nothingness. Sorry, no lovelife for you, ever!


The only game that I had the chance to play was Khan, which by the way, sucked totally (in every aspect I’ve known), no wonder no one goes near to their play area.

So in the end, I took my cousins back home and left the geeks with their free playing time. It seems that they are too focused in attaining the highest level possible in the game they play, and not too sensitive about their selfishness. But what's more sad is…your high level also represents the huge amount of time you've stayed in that virtual world (we are talking about months and months sitting on your pc). Investing a large amount of time means sacrificing your social life (if any) and even your time maintaining good oral hygiene.

It alsp seems to me that subconsciously, they want to be isolated in that pixaled visual computer world.

I guess it just made sense. They don’t even want to look at the mirror and see how pathetic they’ve become, the only mirror they wanted to see was through the monitor…which displays a powerful hero, respected and feared by virtual players in their land. Too bad “real life” is the exact opposite.

So I think we should give them something they wanted, which is isolating them from our normal day-to-day lives.
