Topic: RPGs
I was about to go to bed and decided to surf one last page when I came across a blog called Augury: Musings on Electronics and Culture. Something caught my attention, and I had to make a brief mention of it here.
The blogger comments on a recent episode of my favorite podcast, Fear The Boot, in which he takes issue with a guest host's take on Tolkein. But that's not what grabbed me. It was this comment:
Even though I don’t consider myself a part of the “geek” subculture, or whatever you’d like to call it, it’s always irksome to encounter these attitudes in people identifying as belonging to a subculture which ostensibly has higher intellectual standards than pop culture.
Let me see if I have this right... The guy describes his current activities as including "...a variety of coding projects, hopefully including his own RSS new aggregator, and lots of maintenance work for the sites he manages." He blogs, apparently reads Tolkein, and - oh yes - listens to a podcast about tabletop role playing games.
But he doesn't consider himself part of the "geek" subculture?
As Reverend Jim might say, "Okeydoke!"
