I have to agree... dating another Gamer is dangerous territory, but sometimes worth the risk. However, Gamer-sympathizers tend to be the most fulfilling relationships, as you both bring seperate experiences to the relationship.

I have seen very few successful Gamer-Gamer relationships work out. I've learned my lesson from personal experience, too. This isn't to say I wouldn't ever date a Gamer girl again, I'd just enter the relationship forewarned and wary.
And to be slightly random: Are you still into the whole cosplay scene? I followed it a bit when I was really into anime 4-5 years back, but then I stopped paying attention until very recently. It seems to be crazy popular now and the costumes are starting to get really impressive.
Gah, I keep wanting to write a reply to this poster, but I go way off track. ADD much? I guess I just wanted to add that this isn't a gamer-specific scenario, really. The same is true for nerds and Red Sox fans and cooks and black humor and fashion sense and a host of other interests and cultures.
And I'm going to stop now before I write another 4 paragraph response and then realize it's totally off topic. I will now resume my normal snarking.
Eh, it's all been written, deleted, and shuffled off into antoher subject by now. First I started to write that the context was important, that a few of my friends thought that I was a gamer which is far from the truth, but then it ended up just like me saying I was a gamer-sympathizer, which feels like bragging or something given the conclusions of the above word dump. Then I started to write about the parellel situation with nerds, but I realized it was heavily based on having gone to MIT and that it would sound like intellectual snobbery, which it probably is. Then I started to write about not being able to find something to write, but it turned into something like what I said, which then sounded like just being overly specific and assuming that others wouldn't see the obvious parellels between the gamer stuff and, you know, everything else. So then I just made it short and sweet and stopped.
I have to say, I may not be much of a writer, but damn if I can't babble with the rest of them.

And that fucking bastard Seymour kept hitting on MY summoner and then didn't have the *courtesy* to fucking die. Fuck!
*cough*
That said, OMG, X-2 is so made for 14 y.o. Japanese boys.
THAT said, I wish I could go home and play it right now.

Who cares? ;P I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say, however peripheral, especially if it's enough to fill four paragraphs.

"The number two."
"Ah, ah! The letter two."
"Two isn't a letter."
"I... can't read or write."
