    I'm a big nerd

    I'm playing League of Legends for UEA in the final of the National University Esports League on Sunday.

    https://euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/n...-winter-finals

    I'm so cool

    That's pretty cool. I'll try to watch if I can remember it.

    Did I end up adding you to my friends list the last time I asked?

    Errr mostly neither, sort of both.

    It's what's known as a MOBA, not the easiest genre to succinctly explain to be honest.

    I've googled it and it looks like one of those really complex board games you'd play for half an hour and then get confused and pack away.

    You've brought more shame on UEA than the Rugby side.

    I met one of those LADS in the gym a couple of years later, and he reckoned that the fun police had had it in for them since one of them made a German girl cry on a bus (there was a really lol Nazi-based reason for this, but I've forgotten it), but they failed that time, so when that happened they deliberately went well overboard.

    My good pal was actually on the team but didn't go to the night in question. He thought they were all wankers. Initiation ceremony sounds like the kind of shit Mert would think was character building.

    If you were all playing from home and there was a chance of your mum and dad coming in and having an argument with your about tidying your room I might have considered it.

    We moved house, we don't have a bath any more I just have to take it as tablets.

    It's one of the worst things that has happened to me.

    My only hope out of esports potentially making mainstream is referring to real people by their 1999 internet handles.

    I was a Counter-Strike nerd about 10 years ago and went for a pint with a few of my clanmates. It was pretty good, but I kept accidentally calling them by their ingame name, which was a bit cringe.

    Pepe's comment was just a shitty, tired old joke.
