Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

I'll never understand folks that hate new material just because it is new material. I mean I've hated some of the new stuff in my fandoms during revivals, but at least it has proved new material for discussion and there has been a lot of good in it. I actually would like my first fandom to get a reboot or some new material just to bring it back to life, but it has been dead for decades and every single discussion has been had ten times over. There has been no new avenues or ideas, no fresh fic, no new interpretations. Even something on the level of bad of BvS would be a good thing just because it would give us some new canon to chew over.

Curious what your first fandom was! :)

I'll never understand old-school gamers, though. They seem to be some of the worst offenders of this kind of thing, especially fans of so-called "immersive sims" (think Thief, Deus Ex -- there's tons of others but they tend not to acknowledge them due to dogma.) To cling too tightly to antique formulas seems to fly in the face of the philosophies that created games like these, which is what makes these fandoms so irritating. Their insistent pigeonholing of what makes an "immersive sim" and refusal to accept that philosophies change, that schools of thought alter over time, that traditionalism isn't a virtue, and above all that what might have seemed radical and liberating 15-20 years ago can now seem regressive (hmm, there's a political lesson in that after all) is extremely frustrating. They've pretty much built their identities on the early entries of a series and watching them go through personal crises every time there's a new GAME is at once appalling and amusing.

It was an old TV LARP-Gameshow called Knightmare. Obscure as hell, no doubt, but it was fun and fiendishly difficult for the kid-contestants with the puzzles, but the actors providing the narrative links were so obviously having fun with everything that it had its own kind of charm.

Docu on it.

This is adorable, I love it.

Though admittedly I thought the old MSX game might have been related to it, but they don't seem to be.

That is Quantum Leap fandom too. It is just an endless circle jerk now.
