Heh, I just saw that too... it was on Blastr, a link in the article about a prison banning D&D.

See? No gangs. Also no girls.

Yup, that merrily brought me to bottom-right.

Ahhh, Pascal. *wistful sigh*

The blogging about diagrams / Perl part of me wants to twitchily moan that this isn't a proper flowchart, it's just a collection of buzzwords strung together in an ad hoc manner.

Either 14 doesn't class as 'early in life' or I fail at being a geek. Actually, I do fail at being a geek, I suspect it is because I had friends *before* I started roleplaying. Also, my intense relationship with Hari Seldon at an impressionable age made me a humanist not a computer geek.

I play D&D (and I'm interested in the older editions, even though I was first exposed to 3e). And I'm into computers, swords, video games, science fiction, programming, maths, webcomics and anime. And I'm married (to someone who loves classic Dr Who).

Somewhat ambivalent about Harry Potter though, and I think video games weren't what they used to be (remembering the late 1980s/early 1990s, when I actually got excited about new games). Music is definitely not what it used to be.

Politics comes in there somewhere, because I believe that I should know about it, not because it particularly interests me.

Conclusion: retro poly-geek.

Funny but very much a stereotype. It assumes all geeks are boys who can't talk to women. Well that's nonsense. Fun anyway. :)

Am hoping it's also accurate for girls. See as a mother I intend to introduce my daughter to D&D early. Thus ensuring she ends up in a healthy same sex relationship. :)

Brilliant.
