cln777: What criteria do you use when selecting a geek buddy?

puffinge: sexy legs

Nikku: Contributions
kathleenryan: People with humor like mine. Emotional support in my time of need when people get cranky at me.
luckyjim: So far I've only selected people who I know in real life. I think it would be rather too forward to "buddy" someone I didn't know.

aleo09: none,
POvidiusNaso: #1 - have I met him? #2 - do I like him? #3 - is his stuff excellently done? #4 - do I generally agree with his (or her) gaming ratings? If any of these answers are "yes", you're my geekbuddy, and there's nothing you can do about it.
