Recently i've noticed a disturbing lack of nerdery...or geekery. This largely stems from the benchpress thread and my low standing on it. Today I went to the gym and saw muscular behemoths benching 200lbs, instantly realising a large number of people, members of a DBZ forum, who posted in that thread (claiming they) could bench more.
Now I don't know about you, but that kind of shatters my perceptions of geekery. What happened to the pasty white skin and scrawny/tubby frame of your typical basement-living DnD-playing nerd? Since moving to London i've noticed you don't find them around anymore. I went into Game last week to pick up Budokai Tenkaichi and all the shoppers seemed to be 18 year old well-built males in designer clothing. I was expecting greasy hair, braces, glasses, acne and Red Dwarf T-shirts. Even the guy at the counter looked like he could crush my skull between his pecs if he felt like it.
Am I the only one noticing this disturbing trend? Help save the common nerd from extinction!
