Weekly Poll Discussion

Well, I guess it’s not surprising that 84% of voters in the latest poll came across to The Adventure Gamer from The CRPG Addict. I had pretty much no traffic before he mentioned my blog and there was a massive spike once he did. I’m really happy that so many of you have become regulars here and I look forward to putting up the same poll in twelve months time to see whether the ratio has shifted. It would be great if I could see evidence that I’d come out from Chet’s shadow and earned some attention all on my own. Until then, Ill just keep doing what Im doing.

This week’s poll is a bit of deep one! A friend of mine and I were recently discussing how geeky we are, and in the process admitted to each other hobbies that we’ve up until now kept secret. I gave him a link to this site while he informed me that his boys’ weekends away were in fact LARP events.  It got me thinking about how uncool it is to enjoy comics, video games, live action role playing events and well, anything to do with science fiction and fantasy. I think there’s a bit of change with the more recent generations where being a geek is actually becoming cool (Scott Pilgrim should attest to that), but in my generation it certainly wasn’t (and still isn’t). I wanted to ask you guys which category of geek, if any, you would place yourself in.
