So this dude at my college doesn't know what an rpg is...

I had no idea what game genres were called for the longest time. I just called them "games like x" for jrpgs it was Final Fantasy, for RTS games it was Age of Empires and for platformers it was Mario.

What's a social life?

I find it weird when anybody isn't exactly like me.

I didn´t know the term "roguelike" until Patrick joined the staff. Or the word "ostensibly".

Both seem pretty common now, since I notice them in everyday banter. Maybe Patrick started a weird cultural trend.. but I somehow doubt it. I bet the dude at your college has heard the term "RPG".. he just didn´t care about it (and probably continues not to care)

Wow. You are in the bubble, dude. You are so deep in the bubble that you can't even make out the edges of it.
