Found this article to be pretty funny, but I pose this question to you. Is there a difference between the "Hardcore" gamer and the just plain "Dorky" gamer?
Talk amongst yourselves...I'll give you a topic...The Cold War was neither Cold nor a War...discuss...
Anyways...I love these guys at College Humor and aside from Dtoid it is my favorite site on the net
My guest for this week's A Winner Is You! is Will "backflip" DeGirolamo, executive editor of MEGATONik.com.
TALKING POINT: The recent Playstation 3 release Eye of Judgment comes with a camera, playing mat, camera stand, and a deck of Magic-the-Gathering-like cards. You set up your playing area, point the camera at the cards, and compete against online opponents. As you play, 3D graphics representing your cards act out your actions and duel on screen.
Is this the new dorkiest thing ever?
Jeff: This is great for people who have always wanted to try Magic: the Gathering, but were put off by all that icky human contact.
Careful not to point the Eye of Judgment at yourself.
Will: It reminds me of the game R2D2 and Chewie play on the Milennium Falcon.
Jeff: There it is. Comparing Eye of Judgement to Star Wars is the dorkiest thing ever.
Will: Eye of Judgment might seem weird to some people, but the idea of playing card games online is probably here to stay.
Jeff: There's a new generation that grew up collecting Pokemon instead of lighting ants on fire and playing good old fashioned games, like StarFox.
Will: It looks like some sort of predecessor to Microsoft's Surface concept.
Jeff: It's like Minority Report, but with minotaurs and elven priests.
Will: And thankfully, less Tom Cruise.
Jeff: Eye of Judgment is for serious nerds only. It's a fantasy-fulfillment game with overly expensive peripherals. The worst part is you can waste an unlimited amount of money buying new packs of cards. It's ridiculous. Wake me at the end of the month when Rock Band is out and selling full albums.
