A half-decent nerd tale

The disturbing, ranting adventure of a person who walks into a shop and spends...
$74.84. That's how much I spent on a video game. I actually wanted to spend this amount of money, almost half my fortnightly wage, on the game Half-Life 2. This may look like a dramatic step towards nerdism. Luckily, I waited about a week or two before I got the game. No midnight openings for me. Besides, being surrounded by a horde of nerds is...disturbing for an antisocialite like me.
(Posting a post about this game seems like an even bigger step towards nerdism. However, I'm very bored, and the idea of having an Olympics 'joke' as the most recent post doesn't seem too good. Who says that I'm not topical?)
Anyway, two hours after installing the game, after the process that I had to go through to activate the game, I finally got to play. Two hours later, ironically, I can't play the game. Not because I've finished it, but because I'm scared of the game.
That's right. I'm afraid of a video game.
Call me crazy (on top of Antisocial, elitist, time-consuming, and a frequent poster), but the little enemies in that game just give me the creeps. These little black, spider-like aliens have stopped me from playing this game. Isn't this great. I paid $74.84 for a game that I can't play.

Luckily, the 5 CD set came with another game: Counter-Strike Source. An updated version of the online game that has spawned a generation of nasal, smelly nerds (they do have their own smell, like an old person has that smell of geriatricity and mothballs), and even has caused a murder (Apparently, someone was killed by someone else who dressed up in a CS costume).
As it's school holidays, and as I've got Way too much time on my hands (hence this weblog), I decided to give the game a go.
This game is an experience. Not because of the game play, but because of its players. Being the shite player I am, I got to watch the other players play and converse with each other. And let me tell you, it ain't healthy. I've seen more maturity in a group of year 7 and 8 kids. These nerds do nothing but insult each other, throwing insults ("ur gay". "no, ur gy". "no, im not". "yes u r". etc.) and accusations ("HaXoR. Ban the gay HaXoR). I have no idea what the last one means, by the way. It just seems like an insult.
Not to mention what happens when someone brings up technology. I've seen games come to a complete stop as the other players have conversations and 'civilised' debates about video cards. These nerds are very elitist on this topic. I mentioned that I have a Geforce 2 (a rather outdated video card), and everyone pounced on me like geeky vultures on a Playboy magazine. For a good 5 minutes, nerds on their microphones were laughing at me and calling me weird things that I can't remember and understand.
One more tale to bore you all. Whilst playing, a female voice appears among their drone of nerdy, male voices. Immediately after this message was broadcast, society went flying out the window. "omg. r u a grl?". "a girl on cs?". And so on, and so forth. There are girls all over the place. Who cares if there's one playing a video game?

Well, its back to my $74.84 investment. Time to not play a game, and be surrounded by immature, girl-fearing, nasal-voiced nerds.

(I realise the irony of complaining of nerds and playing a nerdish-type game at the same time. So don't bother making a scene out of it)
