Girls and boys that like geeks, you may be interested to know...
Blizzard Entertainment recently moved down the street from my work and now every time I go out to eat for lunch, there are long haired, ruddy faced, chubby nerds. Everywhere. Lerking around inside every restaurant, whether it be deli or fine Peruvian cuisine.Replies
Honestly, I think Irvine is the best city for nerds. It's clean, it's boring, it has a lot of right angles, but the roads are curvy and complicated. It also has tons of Asians, UCI, Google and Blizzard.
Ok I'm going to have to take a drive through Irvine, I am looking for a new place to live.
Irvine, CA
The offices are at Alton Pkwy and I think Laguna Canyon. One nice thing though, when I'm out walking around, I never ever see the nerds walking around. Apparently, nerds are opposed to the outdoors/exercise/the sun.
But does it have woodland areas where sweet martial arts moves can be practiced with PVC swords?
@Alexis: cause if you had really been into it, you'd be a full time ninja by now. I smell a quitter!
@ilikedginger , Yes We Geeks are afraid of the sun and we may hurt ourself if we do anything physical. But mostly we are hiding at our desks using the spycam mounted on the remote control car. to follow ladies on there walk.
Speaking of Blizzard and nerds, I'm gonna be heading to the Art of Blizzard charity auction in Alhambra on the 8th.

Luckily it's indoors at night. I plan to bring my fat person scooter to avoid the exercise.
@Jesse: well after many years and countless injuries, yes, i am a quitter, but I am a certified bad ass.
@ginge, Is this the kind of gallery opening, do you think, where there will be copious amounts of free booze?
It has a big decorative gate in front of it. Looks like a magical land... which I'm guessing during their breaks, they roleplay and pretend it IS a magical land.
@Jesse, Alexis: Do you wish to challenge my kung-fu? Back in the day, I was pretty badass with a PVC sword. They called me the...um...something with 4 letters, I think.

So you are saying I need to move. Hmmmm.
