Some of you may have noticed that the weblink to this Blog is called Nerdfire. This is a phrase that was coined by Jaybles and one that I am sure that most of us can identify with. It is that burning passion that we all hold close to our hearts for something that might be deemed of the "nerd" or "geek" genre. My nerdfire is fueled by Warcraft and table strategy games i.e Risk, Settlers of Catan, (recently introduced to) Arkham Horror. For the longest time my nerd fire was all about Magic the Gathering. Even now just thinking about how I used to play MtG makes me want to pull out my old decks, grab a double big gulp of Dr. Pepper and play until 3 am. The picture above reminded my of one of my favorite Magic card's flavor text, and you may know the card well, it read "And the ignorant shall fall to the Squirrels." I would often think how right that might actually be. I don't foresee a Squirrel apocalypse, where we are overrun Egyptian plague style, but the end of society might just be something small that you would be ignorant of until.....
What lights your Nerdfire and what was the first thing to turn it into a blazing inferno?
