I play my table-top games Throw them dice with my dames
Got all my cards in a row And I got two of the same
Be it Old Maid, Go Fish, or Memor-y, I've been doin' this: winnin' hands, Since
Ninety-three*
I played Mario and Barbies, Chinese Checkers and chess,
I grew up beating you at pogs all while wearing a dress,
I spent my summers inside on the Oregon Trail I forded rivers, shot a bison without breakin'
a nail
I wrote code for my websites I know how to View Source
Copy-pasted H-T-M-L as matter of course
My Sims were always movin' up Cuz I had cheat codes
Livin' Large, usin' Wikis, Ctrl-C: motherlode
I had a crush on Spiderman Before he went live-action
I read sci-fi/fantasy books-with-a-passion
In high school learnin' typin', found a game called DOOM
Got the keys and the weapons, made the monsters go BOOM
Never did Mary Jane just wrote a Mary Sue Into some anime fanfiction ... sad but true
Now I'm KillingTime** on Steam, Leavin' no one Left 4 Dead
Playin Co-op, survival, and as infect-ed
Puttin' zombies down in Half-Life, shoot 'em right in the head,
BioShockin' Big Daddies while I'm lyin' in bed
Jumpin' Portals in my sleep, Killin' GLaDos for fun,
Ain't no console gamin' here, I'm a PC, son!***
Turn my phone on, Cut-the-Rope, Then come see what I built,
Cut some fabric in real life and made a tetris quilt
Played Minecraft in Alpha, built a couple of castles,
Gave up drownin' sheep cuz of all of the hastles
Been thrice to conventions in the T-Dot-O Met Helo ... from Battlestar, A.K.A. Tahmoh
I idolized Buffy, think Joss Whedon's a genius Firefly and the Brown Coats got my allegiance
Then there's Race for the Galaxy, the Italian ***,
Pull 'em out with my friends when we gather to hang
Pour a drink, Settle in, get your Ticket to Ride,
Off your phone, Carcasonne, Seven Wonders abide
Whoonu at the party, there'd be Apples and UNO,
Killer Bunnies and Munchkins and maybe prosciutto...
See we're grown ups now, throwin down our D20s
Board game geeks playin' hard in the land of plenty
With disposable income, it's no surprise, We cut our Delisio pizza with the Enterprise****
We've got nostalgia, it's true, there's nothing better
Than TNG, Picard, and Wesley Crusher's sweatahs
But before I draw this rap to a close, I gotta shout out to those good TV shows
I never seen Stargate, Never watched Dr. Who but don't worry, there's time, it's on my
list of things to Do.
