Gen Con Bingo

An anonymous reader writes "Gen Con begins this week in Indianapolis. This convocation of the geek is epic in its scope, encompassing all aspects of the gaming subculture. Rabbit over at GamersWithJobs kicks off their coverage with a hilarious little game of their own called "Gen Con Bingo." From the list of potential Bingo squares: The Inappropriate Card Game - Ever see 12 year old boys playing Magic in a public bathroom? It's not pretty. Ever since I've been going to Gen Con (not forever, but long enough that I consider myself a veteran) there has been an entire subculture of teenage boys who will play Magic, or whatever the collectible card game of the moment is, anywhere, anytime. Their therapists say they have 'boundary issues.'" I got that square at my very first Con. I actually thought they were dealing crack in the stall at first, but the mention of a 'Mox' quickly dispelled my imagination of normalcy.

Anyone 30 or over who still believes that a man in the sky (who conveniently creted everything) sent himself down to Earth to die for his own creation's sins against himself, thereby redeeing said creation, has issues. Start reading the news and caring about the present rather than following the gospel of some dusty book from millenias past.

The Bible is best burnt. Magic: The Gathering, on the other hand, loses its appeal when you can play poker for real money.

Yeah, mature people should be busy listening to crappy Christian (redundant I know) rap.

I think we need an age limit on this fairy-tale stuff. Anybody 30 or over, who still believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or any kind of God, has issues. Start reading Playboy instead.
