Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Stories

My dad is one of the smartest people I know. He worked for a lot of years in construction, most of those as an Iron Worker. His Geekness lay buried and hidden under dirt and burns from welding machines and scars from putting up razor ribbon until he was forced to retire due to illness.

Now he plays Dungeons and Dragons with me, we play Warhammer 40k. I bought him Terraria for an early Father’s Day gift and he’s totally addicted to that.

My dad worked hard and suffered uncountable injuries and pains providing for our family and now in his retirement he’s getting to really embrace his Geek Side.

Thanks Dad. I really appreciate all you’ve done for our family and I love you.

My husband is the ultimate geek dad, and his kids are crazy about him. He has served in the Air Force for 22 years and has 3 sons. He insists that you’re not a man until you can correctly install the home theater with sound system, Blu-Ray, DVD, game console, DVR and programmable remote. His kids know more about electronic games than housekeeping. An optimal night would be a game night with kids and friends, complete with Mountain Dew. The kids’ friends all talk about games and their gaming characters with my husband anytime they stop by. He’s always reading the reviews and checking the forums for the latest game news and gossip, be it electronic or tabletop or RPG games.

And how did I meet this love of my life? At GenCon, the world’s biggest geek gaming convention, held every year in Indianapolis. See, I’m a Geek Mom, and I wouldn’t trade my Geek Man for all the great gizmos and cheat codes in the world!

When I was a tiny little kid in the land of Windows 3.1, I used to watch my dad exchange PC games with my Godfather. I’d sneak into the room to peer over his shoulder as he’d play Doom, Myth & Magic, and eventually Quake. “Can I play, Dad?” I’d say. “No,” he’d say. “You’re too young.” So on I’d peer, yenning for a game I couldn’t play and listening to my Mom lament her gamer-widow status. Now I obsess over MMOs, mash F5 on the E3 status page, shoot zombies, mow down NPCs in drive-bys, play RPGs until I’m cross-eyed and delirious, and await Skyrim with bated breath as my Mom laments her daughter always vanishing to play games. Thanks, Dad. You made a Gamer Girl out of me. Let’s go play.

I was playing the last level when I was about to lose,because the helcopter waz about to leave so I preesed F9 to restart to my last save point but, I accidently presed F5 (which allowed me to save right before I lost) so every time I load, I am .05 sec. away from losing.
