Mad gamer skillz and teh laydeez
Once, only once and once only in my teenage years (shortly after the relief of Mafeking) did I emerge from a nightclub in the amorous company of a young lady.

The venue was Edinburgh's Cinderella Rockerfeller's - a nightclub whose ambience was considerably improved by being burned to the ground a few years later. The lassie in question was blonde and had a truly impressive décolletage.

And how did I manage my pullage. Was it my dancing? Or my recently acquired skill of "talking to women"? No, it was through doggedly making my way through a top-down, vertical scrolling WWII plane shoot-em-up. (Might have been "1942", cannae mind.) There I was, minding my own geeky business when, voila, this lady engages me in conversation.

Sod social skills, play computer games instead.

Actually no
And Mrs Calgacus was not won over by computer gaming. In. The. Slightest.
