Ok I am the first to say that's a bracer and not a gauntlet? A gauntlet is an armored glove not a wrist protector. I know...NERDS!!!!!

Lots of Dungeons and Dragons players have sex with women.

There are lots of women who are attracted to men who can use their imagination and play with pewter figurines.

Don't try to stereotype role-players as sexless nerds. Their ranks are as varied as any math club.

Makh: doglover: Actually all the D&D players I know tend to be 30 something with girlfriends or wives.

Yeah, times have changed. That scrawny nerd you knew in high school has moved on to much better things. My bully works still works at the same fast food place however.

I hope he's moved beyond washing lettuce.

Meh, looks silly. Besides, what self respecting nerd plays D&D without real dice?

My biggest problem with D & D was that I couldn't play by myself.

*Sigh* Revell and Radio Shack were my friends.

Wait, when did "nerdy" become a synonym for "retarded"? That thing looks like something the dirty, scrawny loner that always wears death-metal band shirts would make in middle-school shop class. Except then it would have a demon's head where the die-roller is and it would have at least two horns on its head and they'd be sharp as hell. So it would be way cooler if it were made by that loner guy.

One of the better virtual dice rollers I've seen, rather than use a number generator it uses a physics engine and polyhedral models of dice to roll (by flicking the touch screen or shaking your iOS/android device)

Between that, the character sheet app, the map/miniatures app, and the PDF reader that holds my entire library of supplement and source books as well as my archive of Dragon magazine, my iPad has become my go to d20 machine


Now if only there was an app that dispensed Cheetos and mountain dew

Literally.

I miss the days when being a nerd meant you were good at math.

Makh: Make it a red or purple item. That's how.

Have you ever played D&D? What does that even mean?

Has anyone mentioned that it's a bracer (arm-guard) and not a gauntlet (glove), so that since it's A) not a gauntlet, and b) wasn't thrown anywhere, the whole "literally" thing just makes subby fail utterly?

/real nerd

THAT's the pinnacle of nerdiness? I was expecting

TARDIS replica bus shelter
Hand-knitted Jayne hat or 4th Doctor's scarf
Complete Commander Shepard replica armor and rifle
Steampunk themed Star Wars lego models

etc. This thing is not in the same league, thought I'm sure it makes its creator pretty happy.

By shooting all the food.

Yah sorry instant disqualification because people who cannot even differentiate between a gauntlet and a bracer have no business trying to declare what may or may not possess immense geek cred. Besides the thing looks like a watch made during the era of fun-fur raver kiddies, nothing more.

This gauntlet is the only one relevant to me:

mamoru: lokisbong: Ok I am the first to say that's a bracer and not a gauntlet? A gauntlet is an armored glove not a wrist protector. I know...NERDS!!!!!

Exactly. Even if it were a gauntlet, which it was not, it was also not thrown down, so subby also fails to understand what the word "literally" means. Stupid subby.

/and stupid authors in the article, who also called the bracer a gauntlet

okay, you topped it.

/ you would win one internet, but im guessing you already have 20 or so.

It never meant that, thats just what your mommy told you to get you to stop crying.

/It's closer to a gauntlet than Thundarr the Barbarian's watch from TFA

Top that? Easy. Two words: Vi Hart (new window).

If I were to top that literally, it would be with beads, sparkles, or coloring with a Sharpie.

corridor: Has anyone mentioned that it's a bracer (arm-guard) and not a gauntlet (glove)

This is why Morrowind is still the best Elder Scrolls game.

There was something missing from my chainmail made from toenail clippings with pubic hair insulation. This bracer has inspired me. I need to weave a calculator watch into the mesh. Maybe then I can top this.

erveek: By shooting all the food.

Not the Twinkies!



/hot like a lead filled Twinkie

RexTalionis: I had my right lung surgically removed and had my ribs on my right side installed on a hinge so that I can store a computer in the right side of my chest cavity that can recite the complete works of HP Lovecraft.

THREAD OVER.

doglover: Actually all the D&D players I know tend to be 30 something with girlfriends or wives.

In other words, losers.

Exactly why am I supposed to get worked up over 1970's technology crammed into an accessory Liberace would wear? I keep forgetting.

This.

I've seen so many nerdy things posted here on Fark and elsewhere that so easily top this that the hyperbole makes the writer (and subby) look dumb. From wedding cakes, to lego models, to functional costumes of robots from some obscure game or anime. The powerglove itself is nerdier than some bracer that rolls random numbers by moving it.

Epic leather fur-lined gauntlet Fleshlight that includes a built-in digital Dungeons & Dragons dice roller.

That's how.

Interesting. The subject matter is medium on the geek scale while its implementation is medium-low on the nerd scale.

Not the nerdiest thing, evar.

Challenge accepted.

And apparently it was invented by someone who's playing left-handed classical guitar.

/No other explanation possible...

Other than numbers under 4, are there any number of sides which a fair die cannot have? Just curious.

You can make a three-sided die as long as the sides don't have to be flat. Imagine a football shape but with a triangular cross-section. Only three sides it can land on.

If that is allowed, then there is no die that cannot be formed.

I was about to say "show me a one sided die," but then it struck me...
