I've got a 12 sided die, I've got Dungeon Master's Guide

Last night, the nerd squad hit our highest nerd factor to date... probably!

The absence of Ginge and the Frenchy was beautifully taken care of by the one week only addition of the Loveable Stoner.

The chilli toating Southern Hemispherian ran a one off DC Heroes game where we were basically members of the Justice League but with different names... which was fine until I realised that I was essentilaly playing Huntress and instantly had to hate myself... stupid purple domino mask wearing liability bitch!

Our hearty band of heroes were summoned to an attack on the city of Seattle by what appeared to be T-Rex only to discover that said terrible lizard was in fact a computer generated collection of pixels (we still kicked his ass though, so it was all good)...

Further investigations lead us to discover that the good city of Seattle had been taken over by a disgruntled player of a world renowned MMORPG called Endless Dungeon, which of course we were then sucked into - complete with new period costumes and weaponry - and had to go and find the culprit of these shenanigans and beat his fat, Cheesy Puff eating, 40 year old, living in his mum's basement, never gonna know the touch of a woman, ass into next week.

Of course because we were in his game, his avatar looked oddly different from his real life physique - he was a Grecian god complete with magic shield and personal guard and the dev team who nerfed his class hanging over a pit of lava in his volcanic lair by a chain....

We powerleved, we min maxed, we hot swapped, we strafed, we bunny hopped, we tea bagged, we looted, we ninjaed, we were 1337...we were most definitely not n00bs and we saved the day, the dev team and the city... yey us!

We all had a bloody good laugh and it was widely recognised that Jason is a genius.

It then occurred to us that we were a group of 20-30 something, well educated, intelligent adults, sitting in our basement, rolling dice, pretending to be super heroes trapped in a world based on a computer game that we all played excessively (except Matt "I was just following orders" Smith - who has no soul) and using real life exploits and well known factoids about said game to win the other game....

There is a chance none of us will ever be allowed to breed...

I'm resisting the urge to holler NERD at the top of my lungs for two reasons:

1) I've got a bit of a sore throat

and

2) God damn, that sound like a totally awesome game. DC FTW!
