You may have seen the famous video on the internet of the LARPers, or Live Action Role-Players. Basically they dress up like Everquest characters and act out huge battles, but in the video they pretend to use magic and spells also. A wizard (or mage or something, I don't know how they decide what to call themselves) throws little darts at another guy and screams LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT! over and over. It's pretty geeky.
Well Montreal has something sort of like this, but with no magic spells. Every Sunday about 50-70 people get together on Mount Royal and fight each other with fake swords, staves, armor and hammers. Me and two friends went to the mountain yesterday and some guys asked us if we felt like trying it out. We did.
It was geeky, but also sort of fun.

- I am a huge dork. I like baggy pants, video games, eating, and my Batman t-shirt. But most of all, I hate sarcasm. For serious.

yeah but the weird thing is, this wasn't specifically based on any board game or video game. It's just a bunch of people hitting each other with swords and the occasional fake arrow flying past you. I don't feel as geeky this way.
