How does one identify or categorize a weird gamer?

Are they the ones wearing the Star Trek communicator or the Jedi sabre?

Or, are the ones that freely annouce that they are 30+ years old, single, and still live in their parents basement as an introduction line for seduction?

 

Weird classifies a lot of folks

I dunno if a kissing booth is something I'd be comfortable staffing Sue. I mean, even if I was there for twelve hours during the day you'd still be turning away hundreds at closing time, not to mention all the hurt feelings of all the guys who'd want in too. I just don't think you thought through all the repercussions.

The weird folks we painters specifically don't like are:

 

1. Stinky Weird Gamer (please take a shower) who hovers right in front of you

2. Superior Weird Gamer (please Google "miniature painting") who tells you at length how THEY paint even though they haven't picked up a brush in twenty years and are convinced that ink washes are much superior to all that layering you're doing in effect...then they stand in front of you for an hour

3. Won't Stop Talking Weird Gamer (please go sit down in that corner, over there. Away from me. John...<brings out tazer>) who stands in front of you for an hour monopolizing your attention and doesn't take hints...often combined with 1 and 2 for a truly hideous mind-bending effect

4. OMG a GIRL Weird Gamer (usually combined with either 1 or 3 or both) who stalks the cuter female mini-painters while they are at the table (luckily I'm pretty much immune to this one, being not only not cute, but downright MEAN)

 

The costumed people, the chainmail bikinis, the furry ears, the lightsabers, and the klingons I got nothing against. It's what you do and say, not what you wear. :;):

Its good to know that you don't hold a uniform and gear against a gamer, I used to wear one all the time. (not the bikini, or the federation fly-gear)

 

The rest need some help... May be some "Don't Taze Me Bro..." therapy as you prescribe will help
