Loved this. I'd totally answer that lonely hearts ad :D I know there's something to be said for having different interests and not having to embrace all of them in a partner but being a big old nerdy geek ;) is a huge part of you and your life. I think it can be important to have somebody at least share parts of that with you. I had a great day yesterday talking about Tim Burton movies, sucking at arcade games in the Troc and wandering around Forbidden Planet for aaages. There are lots of ladies out there willing to embrace your inner geek, just a matter of finding them in RL. Good luck! :) Pix3l! Loved this. I’d totally answer that lonely hearts ad :D

I'd never have left the house, you'd have been thinking "He better find a save point in time for Babylon 5" instead. Heh. Mark, you really are a lucky bastard.

I suppose being female, I have less of a worry, but navigating the waters of men who are football fanatics or chavvy dart players to reach the geeky waters of destiny isn't always easy either. I went out with one non-geek once. Never again. I was stuck in the pub all fucking night bored off my tits while he played darts - possibly the most tedious fucking game on this earth and drank with his idiot friends. The only thing going through my mind was 'He'd better fucking get me home in time for Babylon 5'. Fucking loved this piece :) maybe if you stopped showing them your basement of delights Pix, they may stay a while ;)

If you'll have time to tear yourself away from the legion of girls that will want to use your joypad. I'm surprised Zero didn't try to claim the girl in the last pic, especially as she has her penguin showing. We expect an update article on the result of that ad.

She doesn't expect me to take up her hobbies so its all gravy. We play the odd bit of Wii together and I suppose it would be great if we played more games together but things are great just as they are so Im happy. @MarkuzR - Your just a lucky shit aint ya. @Pete - a valid point well made. @ Preacher - I really don't know how to respond to that, but don't give up, press continue.

You've got very little to complain about. I'm 24 and I've never had a proper girlfriend - there was one girl, but it was definitely one-sided insofar as she was happy to play on the Xbox and go see Star Trek in the cinema with me, but not much into me. I got as far as trying to cuddle whilst watching anime and being pushed off, because she was neurotic about being touched. So you could have it much worse. At this point, I have to admit to having mostly given up. As one of those “basement dwelling, sex-starved man-child”s and “nerdy, reclusive virgins”, I’ve got to say, at least you’ve been on dates.

Been single for about 6 months and never had a girlfriend that understood my love for gaming. If you find anyone out there, check if she has a geek friend for your old pal Zero! :P Laughed out loud in the office at the GL Jizzgloo. Dude, im in the same boat.

I am, I have to admit, one of the lucky ones. Not only did I meet my awesome girl in a particularly geeky situation, but we had ridiculously geeky conversations about Star Wars, Buffy, Amigas and other suitably nerdy topics. Her immediate response to my "TK-421, why aren't you at your post" throwaway comment in a chat room made me swoon with delight. Getting to know her was just as fun... finding out that we shared a mutual love for text adventures, we both loved old gaming machines, and realising she was an absolute nutter and was happy to put up with my... foibles. Every birthday and christmas we're giving games to each other, and for her last birthday she got a Master System II and a NES to add to her collection. We've bought countless consoles together since, countless retro machines and when I spent a lot of money on Fred, that gorgeous Brotherhood of Steel statue, she thought it'd be cool to have ANOTHER one at the other side of the door to the gaming room. Can't really ask for much more than that. The girl that appreciates your awesome stormtrooper jacket (it WAS awesome!) IS out there... just use the force ;) I loved this article dood.
