WiredAVClubSadoMazoBirİki

Demiştim, değil mi, takip ettiğim dergiler arasında Wired ile A.V. Club var, ikisi de birbirinden güzel. Geçen gün de Bengü’ye söylüyordum : Türkiye’deyken artık bir daha derhi okuyamayacağımı düşünür olmuştum. Her şeyi bildiğimden değil ama dergilerdeki hemen her şeyin çıkartılabilir olduğundan. Eskiden ilgimi çeken dergilerde yorum kısmı giderek azalıyordu ya da bana öyle geliyordu bir de ah o gereksiz ciddiyet. Hakikaten geleceğe dair dergisel umutlarımı ciddi oranda kaybetmiştim ki işte bu ikisi yetişti imdadıma. A.V. Club daha bir ya/t/kın benim kafama ama Wired da bazen on ikiden vuruyor. Sonuçta tavsiye ederim, vaktiniz olursa, nereye sörf edeceğinizi şaşırdığınız bir vakit filan mesela gibicesine. Bu da tadımlık olsun, ben bayıldım harika bu çocuklar hay çok yaşayın çocuklar, e mi! Yeni nesil bir harika Samuel, duydun mu beni?

Wired’s Geekster Handbook, a Field Guide to the Nerd Underground

1. The Fanboy
Disposition: Speaks mostly in lines from The Simpsons, Star Wars, Highlander, and Ghostbusters. Enjoys arguing about whether Batman or Boba Fett would win in a fight. (Batman.)
Beliefs: The Force exists, but midi-chlorians are bullshit. Han shot first.
Turn-Ons: Princess Leia in slave gear. Starbuck (male and female incarnations). Amazing Fantasy No. 15. Velour uniforms.

2. The Music Geek
Disposition: Would be really happy to introduce you to music better than that overexposed crap you like. Always up for a show, but it’ll totally suck.
Beliefs: MP3s are not as good as CDs, which are not as good as vinyl LPs, which are not as cool as wax cylinders. What your speaker cables are made of matters.
Turn-Ons: A complete set of Sub Pop Singles Club 45s. VH1’s Behind the Music (hair metal only). 0.0 scores on Pitchfork. Vacuum tubes.

3.The Gamer
Disposition: High DEX and INT scores, low CHA (thus, the lack of friends). Given to indecipherable insults (“I pwn3d u, n00b!”).
Beliefs: The game Real World has a great physics engine, hi-res graphics, and convincing surround sound, but the learning curve is too steep. Girls should dress like Yuna in Final Fantasy.
Turn-Ons: Spawn points. Haptic feedback. Pac-Man ringtones. Morgan Webb. Split-screen co-op.

4. The Gadget Guy
Disposition: Sociable while waiting in line on launch day; ferocious in comments on Gizmodo. Seemingly unflappable in the face of early adopter’s remorse (aka Apple Newton Syndrome).
Beliefs: I can fix that. There’s no god but MacGyver. The price will drop in a month, but I need it now.
Turn-Ons: Unboxing videos. Backup batteries. Blue LEDs. Laser pointers. People who RTFM. Things that make loud clicking sounds.

5. The Hacker
Disposition: Chronically crabby — then again, having such a superior intellect is a heavy burden. Paranoid tendencies.
Beliefs: One shall stand, one shall fall. Sun allergy is a real condition. Cybersex: not utterly disgusting. Cory Doctorow is too soft on DRM. 2600 magazine has gotten too commercial.
Turn-Ons: Trinity. l33t fluency. Narc-spotting at DefCon.

6. The Otaku
Disposition: Alarmingly happy. Prefers to read right to left.
Beliefs: Manga is a medium, not a genre. Furries aren’t loathsome. I can learn Japanese from Gundam. Lynn Minmay is the most annoying character in the history of anything. The next major anime release will be a box office hit in the West — this time for sure. It’s not all tentacle porn, OK?
Turn-Ons: Tentacle porn. Dirty Larping. Dating sims. All things kawaii.

Ben mesela, fena halde 1 ile 2 karışımıyım. Barış desen 4 (o 3 ile 6’yı iddia etse de) Geçen Dee ile konuşuyorduk da, Eki de 4. Neyse gidin bakın, zira ilgili yerleri bold mold yapmaya üşendim, yerinde temizi güzeli var. Benden de selam söyleyin, siz “modo$” deyin, o anlar.

Bonus da burada ile burada (aha aha aha). İkincisi çok korkunç pek fena geldiyse, şu da olabilir.
