Well, I know that Les likes PvP, and since I saw this, I really wanted to somehow bring it to his attention, imagine my delight when I found out he’d implemented this new feature! Following is a slightly edited quote from an article by yours truly, on Obsidian’s forum, about a real life Geekluv dating service.
I just can’t stop laughing. For those who aren’t familiar, there was a storyline in the webcomic PvP for awhile, where two of the characters made up a dating service for geeks and called it Geekluv, it was just fan-fokking-tastic, and a must read:
GEEKLUV 1, GEEKLUV 2, GEEKLUV 3, GEEKLUV 4, GEEKLUV 5, GEEKLUV 6, GEEKLUV 7, GEEKLUV 8, GEEKLUV 9, GEEKLUV 10
Well, some sad, lonely nerd, has made a real online dating service ‘for gamers’ that to me seems awfully damned similar. So much so, that I emailed the strip creator Scott Kurtz in case he hadn’t already seen it. It’s called MMODating. What I don’t understand is why it’s called this when MMO games are such a niche title…..oh well, still freaking hilarious.
And for good measure, here’s a LINK to the original thread, as the profiles of women subscribed to this dating service, are priceless…if not disturbing.
Oh you have to be kidding me. Someone isn’t actually trying this for real. Wow, that is funny.
Note: The loyalty and affection Geeks are rumored to have according to the comic strip is, in fact, quite true.
