Welcome to Coffee Talk! Let’s start off the day by discussing whatever is on your (nerd chic) mind. Every morning I’ll kick off a discussion and I’m counting on you to participate in it. If you’re not feelin’ my topic, feel free to start a chat with your fellow readers and see where it takes you. Whether you’re talking about videogames, whether the New Jersey Nets will go 0-for-December, Tiger Woods’ adventures in adultery, or whether Nokia can make Symbian competitive, Coffee Talk is the place to do it.
There are certain things a woman can do that make her 20 to 30 percent more attractive than she already is. Female sportscasters are a great example of this. A cute female sportscaster will automatically be promoted to beautiful. A beautiful one elevated to goddess. (See ESPN’s Erin Andrews.) It’s called being “sportscaster hot”.
Female gamers benefit from this “gamer girl hot” phenomenon too. Is it shallow? Maybe…but I am of the opinion that elevating gamer girls is a good thing. On a practical level, it’s a common interest. For the sake of changing the image of what a gamer is, it’s fantastic to show that there are hardcore gamer women out there. In my mind, any woman that’s an avid gamer should be considered attractive because she has an awesome hobby.
My big weakness is female bass players. I had a huge crush on D’arcy Wretzky for years — she was definitely a cutie, but playing bass made her sexy. Ginger Reyes is another beautiful woman that’s too-hot-to-walk-the-Earth because she plays bass. Paz Lenchantin is either my dream girl or too much woman for my brain to process — she plays bass and videogames!
Are there any sportscasters, gamers, bass players, actresses, or singers that you find more attractive because of what they do? Please list any gals or guys that pop in your head.

Geek girls are hot but CRAZY! That being said, I swoon hard over Abbie Heppe.
@TheJediRevan: See what you need is a tomboy who happens to like a few geek things……trust me.
my gf is the cutest gamer girl i know
. but we argue a lot on who gets to use what or even play what. if i wanted to play on my ps3, she gets a hold of it first. if i wanted to play dragon age, she wants me to play mgs3.
@rbee90: I feel your pain on that one. My wife and I have 2 360's (she one hers at work), so we don't have to argue over consoles. But we do argue over who gets to play what at times. She does understand that if I have to do a review that I have to finish it before she can play it. Otherwise it's a bit of a free for all around here. Basically whoever puts it in their disc tray first, wins.
won, not "one." I can't even blame that one on having my arm in a sling…that was just pure stupidity.
@nightshade
wel, at least you guys 2 consoles, and you guys are first come first serve. if im playing and she just randomly wakes up or she finishes her homework, she would bug me a lot, poke me, pat my head, hit my back. but she doesn't do it if im in the middle of a boss fight or im near at the end of a game though. but asides from that, she would be like "babe, its my turn, get your ass off the chair, and put uncharted 2 in the ps3 NAW!!!"
@ rbee
Ar that point, I'd try to work out a deal for "favors".
"Well baby, there is ONE way to get me off the game."
I've literally been in situations where my friends on Live will be like "Why'd you just suddenly get offline without saying goodbye in the middle of our match last night?"
and my honest response was
"My girl came in here dripping wet wearing nothing but a towel."
@topic;
I don't know why but I've always found that a black-haired stripper wearing glasses is uber hot for some reason. Maybe it's because I find intelligent whores who are up front about it refreshing?
@rbee;
It sounds like you need another PS3 to solve your problems. Get her one for Christmas. It's a way better value than jewelry.
-M
@N8R
haha, that happens a lot here too. especially if she's bored watching me play or something. thats normal right? right??
As I said yesterday….sometimes you gotta know when to put down the controller. If your friends don't understand, it's because they're probably single.
@ rbee
I think so… but I'm a total nerd. I lost track of the norm a long time ago. I've taken sociology classes as well as continue my own sociological studies… but normal is subjective.
@ Nightshade
I also learned a long time ago that what other people do or don't understand is none of my concern. Unless of course they're my kids. In which case… that's also subjective.
Here's a geek thing you should NOT do in your relationship:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091203/od_nm/us_wedd…
I have my own team of seriously cute gamer chicks.
Famous ones tho:
Zooey Deschanel (Gaming might be the only way to make her more awesome than she already is)
Megan Fox (tho I still think she's over rated)
Kristin Bell
Mila Kunis
I know there's a bunch of others, but I forget.
@ leyke
I'd like to add a non-pregnant Kari Byron to that list.
Indeed sir. Indeed.
Side note: How the hell do I change my avatar? For the life of me I can't find a "Control Panel" type page…
@iceman
i would, if i had a job. but as for now, im just going to school. my gf has a part time job at a skate shop, and she works there 2 days a week. but yeah, she doesnt want to buy another console cause "its not practical". she's a conservative anarchist. and yeah, im cool with it. and were living in my parent's house and we dont have to pay any rent at all.
@ leyke
Here are the instructions:

@N8R
lol, a twitter/facebook update wedding frenzy.
@Leyke – I would much rather have the red/blonde chick (much better red) from the 70s show then Mila Klunis.
I think that there are degrees to Gamer Girl Hotness, Like Casual Gamer Girls-(plays frogger, Bomberman, and runs around on Halo just punching people) those are great. But when you meet a good looking full fledged Gamer Girl (Played through every Zelda Game, Plays Gears of War on a daily basis, Is stoked for Alan Wake and, Suggests new game to you on a daily basis) Its like winning the Lottery and Striking Oil at the same time, Or its like going to my local Blockbuster.
@rbee – conservative anarchist? That sounds confusing.
Rbee – Hun, what's for dinner?
Woman – As long as it's cheap and not planned in advance, I could give a rip.
Rbee – Pho?
Woman – You're planning again!
Rbee – right… so no Pho?
I dunno if Laura Prepon is a gamer tho.
@Larcenous: I'm friends with a guy who used to play drums in my band who would probably consider himself the Conservative Anarchist type. Basically, he's a Ron Paul supporter, but I think it's really only because he's sure that it would destroy the government. We don't talk politics when we hang out…..
@Nightshade – One of the reasons I voted for Obama is because I wanted to see him get all ghetto after some middle of the night Bombing/terrorist act. Completely stupid, but honest to god truth.
Camera opens on White House Press Room. Some form of terrorism has just taken place. Current Time: 3am. White House Press Core is slowly making it's way towards their seats.
Obama walks in sporting grey sweatpants and a wifebeater, an afro pic stuck out of his unkempt hair. "I don't know who the f*ck did this, but I am tellin all ya motherf*ckers in here right now, we gonna find 'em. Wake my ass up in the middle of the night with this shit."
He stops for a moment and rubs his eyes, cocking his head slightly to the side. "Will someone get me a goddamned cup of coffee. If I am going to be up then I might as well be up. Dirty, stupid ass, terrorist bomb blowing up pieces of…."
Thanks N8R. That's been buggin me.
@Leyke – oh she had to be a gamer… I was just mentioning her cause I'd put it in the pooper…
Haha… oh I had to go there…
@larcenous
hahahahaha. that was awesome, but no, she's financially conservative, but other than that, she doesn't believe in government and politics(she calls it poliTRICKS,clever huh?) she doesnt break rules that much, she usually bends them. and yes, we love pho, we just went to this new pho place a couple of blocks away from where she works last night, and man we hated it there, the waitresses dont know any english word at all, instead of giving me seafood pho, they gave me meatballs, and i was craving for shrimp last night. man, i was so pissed.
@rbee – we just went to a pho place that close to work for lunch today. I skipped out on the soup, but grabbed this awesome charbroiled chicken and crushed rice. God that hit the spot.
@Word Association – bored at work… last 30 mins.
First thing that pops into your head:
Wooden Airplane! Go!
Left 4 Dead 2. (sitting in an audit lecture, so bored)
Cricket Bat
table tennis? WTF How did that pop in my head?
guitar
HAF 932
At least I know why that popped in my head….
gubertorial
Da Vinci Flying Machine (are we still on wooden airplane?)
Lair o Trebug spelled backwards.
@N8R The Chris Collinsworth joke made me spit water.
@Thundercracker Tiger's a little too old to be a slut and he has kids now.
@ R Pad
Thanks, I'm here all week (seriously… all week).
@ off topic rant
So, I just got done watching the Breakfast Club for 9,642,971,845th time in my life and I realized that a burning question has always haunted me…
What happened that following Monday? Sure, I have my speculation, but that's all it is. Claire said she wouldn't speak to any of them especially walk down the hall with Bender… but then she gave him the earring at the end.
I think the sequel should come out and have it be the 25th or 30th reunion. That movie (with the original cast) would sell a gazillion tickets.
@N8R I'd watch it.
N8R is 5.25 x 10^13 old.
@ray
never too old to slut it up, look at clooney
but yeah, hes got kids, and i understand that
@Breakfast Club squeakuel – I don't think there is a sequel you could do. Personally, I think they are trapped in a time loop, ddoomed forever to repeat the same Saturday in Detention ala Groundhog's Day. There are a few ways out of it…
a) Anthony Michael Hall discovers his Dead Zone powers and using them in combination with an item of a personal nature from each of the main characters (i.e. tape from Emilio, the cigarette from Judd, Alley Sheedy's Earing, AMH's flare gun, Weird Chick's Dandruff Painting) creates a time paradox that flings them through a Sliders like portal. Along the way they meet up with Scott Backula and a sitcom ensues.
b) Dick Vernon reveals himself to actually be the Devil (hence the Beast Fingers!) and reveals that they are forced to relive the same day over and over because they are dead and this is Shermer Illnois version of Hell. Judd Nelson is eventually offered a place at Dick's side, only to go through an Anakin Skywalker type fall and then eventual rise as he fights Emilio on the balcony of the library.
Everything else is just kind of variations on a theme.
@ Larcenous
That was Molly Ringwald's earring and Ally Sheedy was the weird chick (and it was probably the best performance of her life).
It was also probably AMH's best performance ever. The whole "F**k you Claire… yada yada flare gun… yada yada I can't get an F" speech was absolutely brilliant.
Actually, I just found out that John Hughes died in August… that might make my sequel dream suck.
In more movie news, it looks like 2 more seasons of Entourage and then planning a movie according to Wahlberg.

@N8R – Always get the names screwed up.
on a side note, working on that cucumber sauce recipe for you… apparently the wife makes it up as she goes along… so getting the actual measurements is a work in progress. Haven't forgotten about it though.
lol at this whole conversation xD!
Who uses measurements?? Cook to taste!
At least that's how it is done here.
