-
Simulation, Strategy
- Video Games:
-
I can't stand when coordination and skill affect game play. I like a lot of older games just because the details of their implementation is more available.
- Board Games:
-
I have friends who swear by these. I don't understand the fuss. It'd be so much faster and easier as a video game.

Again, I don't get it. A video game can implement the same game faster, easier, and cheaper.

- About Me:
-
I'm the kind of person who has to know how something works. Satisfying that, I have to tinker with it.
Socially, you can compare me to an animal kept in captivity. I miss a lot of social nuances and am often torn to bits by my wild counterparts.
Online, I think I type fast enough to make up for any social deficiencies, yet I still run into trouble.
I'm told I bring up some of the strangest topics, and go off on very obscure tangents, so you may salvage something desirable from my social isolation.
I don't mind debate or argument. What's a friendship where you can't butt heads?
I've had friends whom with I've gotten along very well, so long as we had a topic of common interest.
- Turn Ons:
-
curiosity, passion, command of language, intelligence, skepticism, criticism, altruism.
And all the usual things people like, such as amicability. Alluding to this sites definition of geek, I admire people who choose and stick with their views regardless of popularity or profitability.
- Turn Offs:
-
lamers (see wikipedia), ignorance, materialism, elitism,dishonesty,insincerity.
I don't understand people who lack curiosity, or a passion for anything. My own brother fits this description. He lives day to day, with never more than a quickly passing interest.
- I am most pround of...:
-
The amount of people I've helped through my website. At time I created it, I was sick, and I wasn't sure if I could manage to do anything of significance to anybody. It's encouraging to know what I did continues to make a difference for more people. I hope to follow up this success.
- I would like to learn...:
-
More about the world and how to control it. As shallow and generic as that sounds, I think it is distinct from other answers and not so specific as to be trivial. I strive to learn more pure science first (about the world), and engineering second(about controlling it).
- A great first date would be:
-
an engaging online conversation. Hopefully I find my date refreshingly original, articulate and opinionated. I could find a great gift in my large library of ebooks (primarily text books). Most importantly we'd share some interests, and exchange info.
