Which is nerdier: LARPing or MMORPGs?
)
January 31st, 2011
LARP is live action role-playing, where people dress up like wizards and orcs and stuff and pretend to do battle with each other. Some background info here and here.
MMORPG is a massive multi-player online role playing game, like World of Warcraft (see here).
One could reason that LARPing is more social than sitting in a moldy basement playing games online, and thus less nerdy since there is a chance to meet live women.
However, one could argue that appearing in public dressed as a minstrel or making up a dark elf language is more nerdy.
What do you think?
DISCLAIMER: this spawned from a conversation at work. To not offend anyone, please don’t think I’m saying you are nerdy if you like these things. Imagine I’m saying they are equally cool, and asking which is cooler.
