That's nerd noir.
Geek noir is Poppy Z. Brite or John Shirley. Blade Runner, on a
budget.

you're right, geek noir would have had far more literary obscure references

I just burst out laughing as I got this mental image of phenix, dressed in
trench coat and fedora, talking to some cute black-clad teary-eyed techie type
chick, and out of his mouth comes the phrase "sweat cheeks". :):):)

It's not that obscure. You can find Shirley at mall bookstores, and
Brite is pretty famous insofar as horror authors go, and has edited most of
the anthologies of modern vampire fiction. 'Sides, I made up the term, and
I can use it any way I want ... :)
I'm pretty sure that gaming things would wind up as nerd noir, but
there's a caveat. Any kind of gaming that involved breaking and entering or
actual combat is more in the geek vein, so the SCA and real-life
tunnelcrawling both qualify as geek noir. Wizards of the Coast qualifies as
gambling, and therefore real good old fashioned noir. White Wolf is nerd
noir.

Yes, but LARP sex is bad, kids, m'kay?
Beady's a genre unto himself, really. I think "geek noir" is as good a
description as any.
And now that I think of it... you know how cyberpunk's got this habit of
making up new slang terms that don't quite seem convincing somehow? Beady
manages to do that to real words. Maybe that's the connection.

The trick, scottyd, is getting *out of* psychosis and medication.
<otter wanders off, wondering how to skip the psychosis and keep the
tasty meds...>

Kae, you so silly. (you sound a bit druggie, too) On a serious note
for a moment, meds aren't bad-- they can be used to control mental
conditions, just like... diabetes. I'm on med therapy and it works
fairly good... my docs have a good combo now. Of course, vitamin
supplements, good diet, and exercise does help.
resp:78 re: a while ago-- yes, LARP sex *is* bad-- I remember some
married friends telling me about STDs going around in their group
while they had the sense to keep it in their pants. I enjoy the
Camarilla, but egads, some folks have got some crazed notions about
sex-- like they don't get a healthy dose in the privacy of their home,
or issues, or whatever. Don't get me started...
