The Nerdiest Of Nerds
« on: March 30, 2016, 03:19:32 PM »
As an Amiga Gamer and Collector I would say Amiga Beings are the nerdiest of nerds when it comes to games and computing. What are your thoughts.

You've obviously never been to a retro gamer show/swap meet!

I'd have to disagree, I think Amiga Users are more nerdy ;)

These are from the Retropalooza in DFW 2014.

TONS of Nintendo stuff.  Cosplay.

Nerdvana to say the least!

I as an Amiga representative felt downright normal!

I think it's Euro computer geeks in general as they always came up with the worst in Joystick designs, and generally only used 1 button and the Space Bar or what ever as the 2nd. None of this ever made any sense what so ever, but they are very proud of their joysticks. Then again they were the last to realize the world wasn't flat, so you know...  (snicker snicker snicker, let the tomatoes fly!!!)

Anyhow, insert funny photo here that has nothing to do with what I said above:

Earth has a lot of things other folks might want... like the whole planet. And maybe these folks would like a few changes made, like more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and room for their way of life. - William S. Burroughs

Dude, isn't everyone proud of their joysticks?
