The time has finally come! Geeks, Nerds, and Dorks of the world unite! We can finally be acknowledged as legitimately cool, hip, contributing members of society. Comic books? Right on. Video Games? Who doesn’t play them!?! fantasy novels? If you aren’t reading them, you’re a L-O-S-E-R. Tabletop RPGs? Ummm…. err… ::snicker, snicker:: Uh, the socially awkward, no-friend perma-virgins sit over there… weirdo! Join us this week as we discuss the topic of “Gamer Shame“, where we break down and discuss what roleplaying is, the continuing stigma against it, and our impressions on the process of “coming out of the basement.” Cinch up your dice bag, update your character sheet, and don’t forget the Mountain Dew as you listen to this week’s brand new episode of Monkey in the Cage.
