Greetings, chaps! My name is Stanley Wilson, proud citizen of the country of hockey and maple syrup currently residing within the Queen’s domain (editor’s note: he’s a Canadian living in the UK)! Ever since I was a little boy I’ve been unbelievably nerdy. I know, I know, a lot of assume that we were the nerdy kids in class, but I doubt many of us were so nerdy that even the nerds bullied us! And they had a good reason – from the tender age of three I have been interested in videogames, comic books and practically nothing else! I am proud to say that I spearheaded a generation – while today it’s the norm for kids to stay at home and stare at screens instead of play outside, I was already doing that twenty years ago! And in the very few times when I was forced onto the playground by my loving parents, I always pretended to be Wolverine or Batman, but not the silly Batman who refuses to kill and whines about his parents, but rather the old Batman from “The Dark Knight Returns” who snapped the Joker’s neck in cold blood and then spat on his corpse. What a lovely childhood!
As I grew up, my nerdy interests got even nerdier – I got in contact with the rest of my peers who were stuck at the bottom of the social ladder and organized a Dungeons & Dragons group, later moving on to playing Shadowrun. But after one fateful session in which our dungeon master decided to be an ass and decided to fill some sprinklers with DMSO (a drug that, when squirted on a character’s skin causes them to absorb everything else squirted on it) and poison, thus killing the entire party in one fell swoop, we decided to cease roleplaying out of sheer frustration and instead spend the rest of the night playing poker. That was a pretty big eye opener for me, because as it turned out I actually had an innate passion for all sorts of gambling activities. My friends and I would gather every week to play poker instead of roleplaying, but sadly that wouldn’t last, and soon enough I had to move to the UK for personal and professional reasons (editor’s note: a long-distance relationship and a job offer for 3 times as much money for twice as little work). Since I couldn’t find anyone else to play poker with, I decided to turn to online casinos, and have been playing on those for a few years now. And since no nerdy guy’s life is ever complete without their own blog, I decided to start the Digital Apocalypse, where I’ll talk about gambling, gaming, comic books, roleplaying, really whatever I feel like it. I hope you enjoy!
