Is This The Show?

In which Sam pop-quizzes himself on Dungeons and Dragons and Edwin impresses no one by knowing what GIF stands for

• The golden rules of the show

  1. no discussion on British v American pronunciation

  2. don’t deride one of the punching bags that nerd culture seems to have mutually agreed upon (e.g. Microsoft, PHP, Android, etc)

  3. no mock-outrage at someone not having seen/read/listened to something (“You haven’t seen Star Wars? I don’t think we can be friends anymore” blah, blah, blah)

  4. don’t repeat jokes - if someone said something “funny” and the other person doesn’t react, don’t repeat the joke unless the other person asks.

  5. don’t mock/imitate - current trendy movie lines.
