Signs maybe I've been gaming a little too much...

During ROTK, while Shelob was sneaking up on Frodo, the thought going through my head was "uh oh, looks like somebody blew his Listen roll."

[livejournal.com profile] alanator called me while I was headed to Criminal Records to pick up some comic books:

[livejournal.com profile] alanator: You weren't always this geeky. Not when I met you.
[livejournal.com profile] kellinator: Yeah I was.
[livejournal.com profile] alanator: You were in the closet about it. You've gotten a lot geekier since you started working at that library.
[livejournal.com profile] kellinator: Would you still have dated me if you'd known how geeky I was?
[livejournal.com profile] alanator: No.
[livejournal.com profile] kellinator: Fuck you!

I was watching the ending of FoTR last night thinking that Legolas was obviously triple-specialized in the longbow and was getting some pretty good to-hit rolls....

Heh, I was watching the movie thinking "Legolas is obviously an unfettered, I wonder if Martina can rip off any of his tricks?"

Ah, it's good to see fellow female gamer geeks. :-)

You have no idea, I've gotten very annoying very quickly, and will quite happily bore anyone in sight with ad nauseum details on my Arcana Unearthed game. Which game(s) do you play?

I play all sorts, but mainly Call of Cthulu, lately. But I've played Lord of the Rings, d&d,Star Wars, Feng Shui, Sengoku, and others.

I started having problems with watching The Princess Bride after I started larping NERO. Every time Inigo says "Prepare to die!" I want to shout "Slay!"

This page (http://www.larp.com/~chaos/geek.html) has a whole bunck of "You might be a NERO geek if..." on it--most of them apply to other games, as well. ;)

I logged into my linux laptop this morning for school... the fortune (it gives me one at each logon) it presented me with was this:

`Just the place for a Snark!' the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.

'Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.'

I thought of you.

We listen to the LotR soundtracks while gaming pretty often. It's freaking perfect campaign music.

Yes, when I am not identifying slash fodder while watching the movies (and boy did RotK have a lot of them), I am thinking geeky gaming things to myself.
