I am horrible in maths and I can't say I care about what you could label as a typical "geeky" stuff. I'm a wargamer. Hura!

"Geek", "nerd", "jock" and so on are all very one-dimensional; they claim to know all about you and that's rarely the whole truth. <br /><br />Back to earth - I must make some progress painting my own Dreadball teams. After all, I won't be able to play the game until I've done this!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805599744815566045.post-34979966886616293982014-01-29T10:11:44.304-08:002014-01-29T10:11:44.304-08:00Thanks for this post.

Not sure if I've just gotten older and don't care or if we've gained more mainstream acceptance, but either way, I'm proud to be geeked about this stuff. : ) And grateful for the friends along the way.Ironmonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690744323192668919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805599744815566045.post-19245498545985782452014-01-29T10:09:22.360-08:002014-01-29T10:09:22.360-08:00Ha!

For what it's worth, I have a Master's degree in Christian theology and am something of a biblical scholar, so I can tell you with some degree of confidence that "geek" is a reasonable translation of the original Greek text.

I've been through the whole gamut of painting "MIniatures", "figures" and now "toys" (let's be honest that's what they are).<br />Your Dreadball team is revolting btw (in a good way), but it's a game I've never played, though I've always really enjoy Bloodbowl (and still do !).<br />Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805599744815566045.post-83661125864444880662014-01-29T06:46:35.732-08:002014-01-29T06:46:35.732-08:00Happy to admit I am a nerdy geek of epic proportio...Happy to admit I am a nerdy geek of epic proportions.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805599744815566045.post-18938569067881823792014-01-29T06:46:15.883-08:002014-01-29T06:46:15.883-08:00Didn't it mention in the bible that "the ...Didn't it mention in the bible that "the geek will inherit the earth!" Sorry, I might have misheard that. Anyway, I'm a geek and proud of it. I see nothing wrong in reveling in geekdom. Geeks are such nice people.<br /><br />I've done some play-testing as well, Johnny, and I know what a thrill it can be.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.com
