Which one is more socially alienating as an activity, chess or boxing? Geek vs. Meathead...both stereotypes suck nuts...but a meat-head geek...****, son...that's a pitiful beast.

They both are. Who cares?

I prefer Go.

[Tom Yum]

I prefer Go.

As opposed to stop?

[treelizard]

You've never played Go??

It's better than chess! In fact, I think it's the best strategy game ever!

Best strategy game is 7's and 11's.

[treelizard]

I don't know that one.

[Garland]

I was being sarcastic...7's and 11's is street dice.

you win by throwing a 7 or an 11.
throw doubles and you get to go again.
throw doubles 3 times over the course of the game and you lose
snake eyes you lose.

it's a luck game, there are no strategies for it, unless you can figure out a way to cheat the dice.

Have you ever played Go?

[aseepish]

As an undergrad I played a lot of Go. I played against a buddy of mine and I'd beat him by 30 stones, then he'd beat me by 30 stones, then I'd beat him by 30 and so on. Then a relative of mine introduced me to the president of the local Go association, who invited me to play at the Chinese cultural centre. There I got completely destroyed. The players there actually had rank - they have kyu and dan ranking based on tournament performance. I've been totally in awe of skilled Go players ever since, although I haven't played much in the past five years or so.

I guess I'm a meathead-geek too.

Yahoo Games has it - http://games.yahoo.com/help/go

I only recently discovered Go and I can tell I'm going to become addicted. I suck at chess and need to learn better strategy, and there's a Go club in my town. WOOT!

Talking about meat-head geeks,

I think you guys would shit yourselves if I posted my grades for the past 3 semesters of college.
