Fool! We are sequential art collectors. It's on par with collecting fine art.....

 

Here's the difference: My wife sort of tolerates the comics, collecting sufficiently vintage ones is actually almost socially respectable. Granted, the OCD some of us exhibit about this stuff would freak most non-sequential art collectors out, but I digress. In any event, I'm pretty sure I'd have to sleep, permanently, in thet guest room if I became a gamer, although she probably wouldn't mind if I sat quiely in the den painting figurines if I had done my other chores around the house (which is, of course, a physical impossibility because I sleep 4-6 hours a day, work 10-11 hours a day, commute an hour a day and I am usually given 16 hours a day of chores).

 

I can't wait until I the third floor of our house into a home for my comics!!!

Let's move on to the important questions like whether female dwarfs have beards!

 

 

This way lies madness.

Back in Omaha I changed my LCS due to gamers. Nothing personal against them but every Sunday (which was my comic shopping day) they would lay a huge piece of plywood over the back issues and have a big group playing a game. So I couldn't get to all the back issues and it made access to some of the new comics difficult. And it made me feel unwelcome. So I left.

That sounds like how mine makes me feel.

yea i do agree we all have geeks in us. The irony in it all is i make fun of these gamer kids yet i sit at home and play Ultima Online for hours.

 

isn't that the pot calling the kettle here.. essentially making your "rant" null & void

[RustyStaple]

For example my kids play warhammer

 

As a 3-time Warhammer Grand Tournament Overall Winner, and 4-time Player's Choice winner, OrangeNemesis, you can kiss my *spoon*.

 

you're going to say that buying and reading comic books, then sealing them in plastic cases, and spending hours alone at a keyboard bragging on the internet at how MINT and RARE your comics are is somehow cool? But spending time with other human beings playing social, interactive games over food and beer is for nerds?

 

 

YOU, sir, are the nerd who needs to get out of our miniature wargaming stores!

 

that's minty fresh on ebay....
