You might be a bad gamer geek if...

It’s been a long while since I’ve ranted about something.

But honestly there has been very little that ticks me off that I haven’t already ranted about before. Well very little that ticks me off enough to write about anyway.

I thought about doing a rant where I basically admit to be a geek hating geek. But after thinking about it, I realized that most geeks who qualified as the “bad geeks” would just not “get it”. They’re head is usually way too far up their asses to notice.

So just to clarify who qualifies as a bad geek (a.k.a – you might be a bad geek if…):
- You’ve ever written anime fan-fiction that is really just an excuse for you to write about your own disgusting perversions about demons and school girls.
- You’re a drama queen who can’t get the attention you think you deserve, so you hang around the fawning, drooling, women-starved masses of geek man-boys that lavish attention on you.
- You think that everything that everyone else is doing is wrong and you can do better, although you’ve never proven so at all.
- You’ve had a heated argument over which anime character is hotter.
- You throw a tantrum if you roll natural 20s consistently, yet only while someone is not looking, and you get called on it.
- Several people have actually said that they will quit a gaming group if you join it, and give a laundry list of legitimate reasons why.
- You join an established gaming group with the intent of showing them the “proper” way to play their own game.
- People consistently ask what that horrible smell is when you’re around.
- You’re under the impression that the owner of your FLGS should be at your beckoned call, even though you don’t spend any money there.
- You bounce from gaming group to gaming group continuously. And although they each kicked you out, it was a mutual decision…every time.
- You own a game/comic-store and have disdain for your customers.
- You believe that cheating only wrong if you’re caught, but is otherwise just part of the game.
- Or if you get caught cheating you yell and scream until everyone relents just to get the game going again.
- You’ve ever intimidated a fellow player or DM to get your way. And I don’t mean a skill check.
- Someone has pointed out that you misinterpreted a rule that closes a loophole you thought you could exploit, and instead of you accepting it, you do everything you can to ruin the game for them because they ruined it for you.
- You look down on everyone who plays differently than you, even though they are having fun.
- You don’t like the way someone runs a game, so instead of leaving gracefully you have your character commit suicide and make a big scene of it, then wonder why no one invites you to play in their new game.

What is truly sad is that I have met every one of these people. Luckily I didn’t game with most of them because most bad geeks advertise what they are.
