Angry Geek flips table (rage quit)

While playing Magic the Gathering this player can't stand that the other player won't attack him...

This guy's Francis character is hilarious. He is the epitome of the raging nerd. He recently did one video parodying the brouhaha nerds were whinging about with the Mass Effect 3 DLC. Oh, he also did that "Friday" parody: "Tuesday (Is Raid Night)"

I think it lends considerable credibility to the act when he has a physique that instantly recalls endless hours spent in front of a tv or pc. You know that he's a hgue nerd, so believing he's some kind of socially inept manchild is much easier. I know an act when I see one though. Usually. The voice is just a step too far.

Yeah, I was confused by it too: I thought he did a stand up job of acting the angry geek, but it was more the other guy's reaction - the stifling of laughter - that had me wondering about it's authenticity.

A couple of weeks ago, I was in a mall in Beijing, I walked into a little cafe off the food court, and there were lots of young folks playing the game. Some of them were probably over 18. They didn't strike me as dorkish either.

When I was in my late teens/early 20s, I played. I was pretty thin back then.>> ^Payback:

Is there anyone under 250lbs yet over 18 that has ever played Magic the Gathering?

Speaking as a nerd who just got back from a weekend convention where people were playing M:tG, absolutely agreed. One thing I do always notice is how unfit people at cons generally are, but that stereotype is broken quite frequently too- there is no shortage of people who are a healthy weight or even athletic, just a total surplus of unfit, overweight people. Mind you, that was at the con as a whole, I didn't survey the M:tG players on their own or anything. Nerds really live up to or embody negative stereotypes more often than I can sometimes believe, but there really are a bunch out there who you might not even know are nerds unless you specifically bring the topic up, and others that manage to not fall into not fall into the negative behaviors or traits associated with nerdity.

I think I saw him in another video recently where he smashes his Wii or Rockband plastic guitar or whatever it was. He was raging that they were calling him a fat-ass in teamchat, I think. Hard to forget that voice.

I've never been over 195 and I started playing when I was like 26 or 27. I haven't played in a couple years now and I miss it. Such a fun game.
