John Booth replied to Max Castera's discussion 'Before being a GeekDad you must have been a geek kid... prove it!'"Exhibit A -
"In my day, we didn't have these gray Legos with their angles and hinges and spaceshippy pieces. We had BLOCKS. And they were yellow and green and white and you used a clear brick for the bridge of your Star Destroyer and you…"
John Booth replied to Ken Denmead's discussion 'Share Your GeekDad Day Stories Here'"Knowing that I was going to be spending most of my morning running the Canton Marathon - and most of the rest of the day recovering - my daughter insisted on giving me my GeekDad Day card on Saturday night.
It features Doctor Who (eleventh), Harry…"
John Booth replied to Jonathan H. Liu's discussion 'Celebrating Ray Bradbury'"Tonight, I wrote about the time Ray Bradbury sent me a letter: http://johnbooth.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/hail-and-farewell-ray-bradbury-thank-you/
And I wrote this list of some of my favorite Bradbury stories a few years ago on his 86th…"
John Booth commented on Stephen Connolly's blog post 'Where is Cassius Marcellus Coolidge?'"We have family photos from the very same carnival cut-outs. :)"
John Booth replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"Oddly enough, you've touched on the very reasons why I liked it so much and found it so compelling that I went back and saw it again just two days after the first time.
Not all movies (or books, or TV shows, etc.) are for straight-up…"
Kevin Clem replied to John Booth's discussion 'Dungeons & Dragons'"How about this.

John Booth replied to Doug Cornelius's discussion 'Hunger Games'"See, I thought the love triangle was nicely underplayed - it could have been much more of a story driver, which I think would have been disastrous - and its presence in the story undoubtedly helped the book gain traction with an audience it might…"
Jonathan H. Liu replied to John Booth's discussion 'Dungeons & Dragons'"I dunno. I think I just used up all the 20s in it."
Michael Harrison replied to John Booth's discussion 'Dungeons & Dragons'"That's an amazing die there, Jonathan. I'd hold on to that one."
Jonathan H. Liu replied to John Booth's discussion 'Dungeons & Dragons'"What, you don't trust me to be honest?
Look, I'll roll a die right now and tell you the result. Oh, hey! 20!
Ok, let me do it again.
Another 20! Wow. Yeah, this'll be great."
Michael Harrison replied to John Booth's discussion 'Dungeons & Dragons'"I wonder what we can do for a diceroller. Might be something already out there..."
John Booth replied to Daniel Donahoo's discussion 'What was your first video game addiction?'"Oh, man, Dave, I remember both of those! (Specifically, I remember never coming anywhere near beating either one of them, but having a blast playing them.
If I had to pick one C64 game, though, it would be Archon: The Light & The Dark. So mote…"
John Booth replied to Daniel Donahoo's discussion 'What was your first video game addiction?'""Styx" was apparently a clone of Qix, which I remember only as an arcade game.
As far as first addictions go, it would have been whatever games I got the Christmas we received our Atari Video Computer System. (That's right, kids! It…"
Jonathan H. Liu replied to John Booth's discussion 'Dungeons & Dragons'"Maybe that, or maybe set up a project for a specific campaign—maybe limited invites and a closed group? Anyone could start a new one, too."
Kevin Clem replied to John Booth's discussion 'Dungeons & Dragons'"We play every Monday night, the same group of us have been playing together for between 10-20 years! Last night I had the honor of bringing in a new charater, one of our friends returned to the table after a many year hiatus…"

I tell stories, true and otherwise.
More? Northeast Ohioan. Dad. Brachiopod hunter. Semi-casual runner. Geek. Writer for 30+ years; started getting paid for it in 1995. PR writer after a decade as a full-time reporter, columnist and blogger. Freelance projects for magazines, radio and online outlets. Joined GeekDad as a Core Contributor in April 2009.
I’m the author of “Collect All 21! Memoirs of a Star Wars Geek – The First 30 Years."
Growing up, my racing name on our pirated Commodore 64 copy of The Great American Cross Country Road Race was Lamborghini Lyle. After the day I finally knocked off the computer-driven All-American Al and took first place, the game never worked again. Sore loser.
Oh, and I also write regularly at my own blog, “Cornfield Meet."
