And they thought I was bad before...

First, it was reading The Silmarillion. Then, it was trying to learn Elvish. Then, the fanfiction archives were discovered.

And now I'm at a whole new level of geekery, a level that I swore I would never fall to.

No, I'm not playing D&D or World of Warcraft.

I'm becoming what I swore I would never be (No, not a Twihard either) and turning into the dreaded stereotypical gaming fangirl.

"Weren't you already one of those?", I can hear you asking. And yes, I am one of the only girls I know who has played through Knights of the Old Republic and part of KOTOR II, fangirls Atton Rand and knows what HK-47 is.

But now I've fallen to a whole 'nuther level. Because I've just discovered, much to my delight and my GPA's dismay, that my computer will in fact play Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Age of Empires II: The Conquerors EP, and Stronghold: Crusadors. Hopefully I can also play Battle for Middle-earth II.

Worse?

I now am in possession of two decks of Magic: The Gathering cards.

For those of you who know what MTG is and are either shaking your heads in dismay or cheering, I salute you for your geeky knowledge. For those of you staring at your computer screens with blank expressions: RUN. It will eat your soul.

Not as much as Kyle Katarn and Haldir are going to try to steal mine. Little do they know Atton Rand already stole it the first time I played KOTOR II.

Back to the game installing and the downloading of patches...
