Tickets For The World's Biggest Computer Party

vvizard writes "For Norwegian geeks in particular, easter is preferable spent at the worlds biggest computer-party [The Gathering]. That is, for those lucky enough to get tickets at least. Tickets for the scandinavian people where released through Partyticket last night, and got sold out as fast as the system managed (which due to extreme traffic, isn't very fast). However, there are still tickets left. Foreigners, demosceners and professional gamers have their own pool of tickets, which started selling tonight. So if you fit in one of the previous mentioned categories, and would like to experience the biggest computer-party in the world, now is the time to check out www.gathering.org for information, and www.partyticket.net for ticket-booking."

Whats with the geek self-loathing here...?

[mo^]

Wow, so we are all some level of geek here (or else why would we be using this site) yet constantly their are comments about geeks and body odour, lack of women, moroseness. Strikes me that the few making these comments gotta be the ones suffering these afflictions.

you know you can actually try to change things by bathing or something and not trying to transfer your issues to others. Im a geek and i work with many others. All of use have good home lives, most have long term girlfriends, and NO body odour problems. In fact well adjusted people.

Im sure the problem with you guys is some kinda elitism harking back to your school days when you were teased for geeky tendencies.. GROW THE FUCK UP!!! aint ya heard its cool to be a geek now?? for fcuks sake guys!!

Throughout society i witness the "jocks" from highschool who never grew up and live life into middle age playing on the fact they were once great at some sport or another and love their jobs in the toyota plant (which they have been in for 20 years) but shit, i had a rough time at school for liking computers and taking things apart just coz i could. I sure as hell dont wanna remind myself of this by taunting others the way that I was.

I now go to my old hometown occasionally and feel great knowing al lthe jovks got crappy jobs earning shit money and me and the couple of geek friends i kept in touch with drive sports cars and go to nice restaurants.. and..... we actually have other things to discuss than girls we shagged or people we beatup. (okay so i got little loving action til i was at uni and my fighting abilities amount to the 100 yard sprint).

Just a thought..

flame away!
