Title: I might be on that 'Geek Love' tv show... seriously.
Post by: tiesto on October 13, 2012, 12:34:14 AM
So yeah, I was at NY Comic Con today and decided to check out their speed dating event... met a few cool girls, apparently one of them really liked me. The girl was surprisingly very cute (there were a few nice looking girls there), petite, blonde hair, kindergarten teacher from the city. The hosts of the panel apparently film the event, and follow around one couple on a date. So they picked the 2 of us and interviewed us and will be following us around at the con on Sunday on our "date"... it's really fucking surreal, I can't believe I may actually be on TV and on a geek-themed show.

But now here is the biggest plot twist of them all. Guess what game company she loves...

Well, you all know my taste... guess opposites attract! She said she liked me because "he seemed really cool, my physical type and had a good job and didn't live in his mom's basement". lol. I don't think I really fit the kinda stereotype they want to portray on the show, since while I'm huge into the retro video games and anime, and have a job that's somewhere between nerdy and top secret james bond cool, I've got a pretty balanced amount of interests and roll in different crowds... you'll find me whitewater rafting or at a rave as often as you'll find me grinding S-Links in himusona.

Even when waiting on line for the event, some girl hands me a slip of paper saying "if speed dating doesn't work out, call me 631-###-####" and points to her friend, a chubby girl dressed like the girl from Kick Ass. I'm gonna call that one too since she's from my area code. Some other girls were interested including one I was also real interested in, so I got their contact info too :pimp

Here's a link talking about the show, if you guys haven't seen it:

Think twice before nailing a cosplayer. They are all crazy.

Good job on taking a chance at the con. It sounds surreal.

An actual nerd/geek bachelor would probably be pretty boring to watch.

But congrats on killin it at the con

Had a pretty good time, it was certainly a bit awkward with the cameras following around everywhere but she added me on FB and I think she wants to go to Barcade with me next week. I am kinda nervous how they will chop it up. We were talking a whole bunch about sports and music, but they will probably use the parts when I talked about videogames, like discussing the WiiU and Ni No Kuni lol. And I made fun of Star Wars, hope they leave that in :P

the only important question:  Did you namedrop Evilbore for the cameras?  God I hope your segment makes the air.  Instant HoF thread.
