About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

D&D / videogames.
March 12th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
This doesn’t seem like such a bad thing.
March 12th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
Shouldn’t D&D be sitting on the X-Axis?
March 12th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Hmm. I wonder where the dot for “golf pro” would be…
March 12th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Just leanin’ on us nerds lately, huh?
March 12th, 2010 at 2:28 pm
What is the transfer function from # girlfriends to happy, successful relationships?
March 12th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Well, once she starts playing with your group, you rarely need another girlfriend.
March 12th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Implying we nerds get any girlfriends. The point for D&D/other nerds should be under the x-axis.
March 12th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
Yeah, but D&D players make better lovers. And they won;t dump you when you’re no longer hot.
I <3 nerds.
March 13th, 2010 at 1:56 am
SOOO tired of ragging on role-playing gamers. I’m a girl gamer, for one, and have had my share of hawt male gamer boyfriends, thanks. Come out of 1988 please.
March 13th, 2010 at 6:15 am
Haha, maybe I should start playing D&D to get away from the x-axis…
March 13th, 2010 at 8:55 am
@ trialsanderrors…haha, poor guy! I can sympathize you could be a PhD student…in which case your gf is likely your dissertation…
March 13th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
I would’ve thought that they’d both be curved lines like 1/x and 2^x instead of just dots.
Btw, if you play a lot of D&D, you might be one of the lucky few that manages to find the elusive “gamer chick”, which would be the only girlfriend you ever need.
March 13th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
My boy played D&D. ^_~
In fact the entire group I played D&D with have had girlfriends. So off the x-axis is right, for all those who say otherwise. (That’s past tense because we still need to set up another campaign.)
And I wanna know that too, m1.

@Beth: Even though there may be good looking guys in MMORPGs and other games, it’s moreso the stereotype that comes with gamers in general. I think this statement is still pretty true.
A majority of girls prefer the athletic basketball player over gamers; that’s just what’s mainstream.
March 14th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
The only single person in my D&D group is female.
Shouldn’t NBA be replaced with “married golfers” though?
March 14th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Looks like she hasn’t looked at herself.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Look like she hasn’t looked at herself. Typical.
March 15th, 2010 at 2:25 am
LOL! I thought geeks could take a joke. I’m a girl gamer married to a gamer and I thought it was funny.
March 15th, 2010 at 10:27 am
Although the stereotype is correct, and funny, there are plenty of counterexamples.
Highschool - We played at Allen’s house. His very cute sister (and sometimes her friends) used to come down to the basement where we played. She liked to sit on my lap while we played and occasionally interrupted with a tickle-fight.
Army - My D&D group would get a hotel room and play all day Saturday while the girlfriends went shopping, then take the girls out dancing in the evening. When my girlfriend got tired of shopping earlier than I got tired of D&D, it resulted in during-game BJs.
College - Gaming conventions. You know those movies about weekends in Las Vegas? Yeah, kinda like that at night: first time I ever had sex in a public restroom, only time I’ve ever gone out with a professional model . . .
March 15th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
I object this comic. I play D&D on a near-weekly basis yet am able to hold a solid girlfriend.
Just a thought. (Perhaps for the ages.)
March 15th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
I think the gamers that are complaining are looking at this from the wrong perspective.
A gamer will typically have the patience (or apathy) to wait for a close match for a relationship. A pro athlete (or anyone with insane wods of money really) will just pick the closest person willing to take off their clothes.
Thus, over time, the athlete may have many hundreds of “girlfriends,” each lasting only until the athlete gets bored/finds someone closer to take off their clothes; while the gamer/geek has only had a handful of long-term girlfriends.

I can attest the validity of this comic, weather or not I accept it
March 19th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Oh, good grief.
It’s a JOKE!
And before everybody yells, a disclosure. I’m as nerdy as they come; D&D gamer, honor student, hermit, professional writer, thick-as-coke-bottle glasses, overbite, AND was waiting for marriage.
I’ve got kids. Marriage happened.
Yeah, it’s a sometimes-untrue stereotype.
But more than that… IT’S a JOKE!
I thought it was hysterical.

You guys totally failed your humor roll.
