Are you a geek?

[w1ngzer0]

White and nerdy the music video is a good example of an extremity. But, if you are or not a geek; describe why. This should be a fun thread

But, yes. I am a geek. I own an original secret of mana cartridge and will be buying a Wii when that game ports to it. I collect comics. spider man, xmen, and love the 30 days of night series and anything made by ben templesmith. Final Fantasy 7 is my favorite final fantasy. Due to sephiroth having a similar personality of vegeta from dragon ball z. I'd rather spend the weekend playing a good rpg, reading a comic, or playing a good FPS or MMO over going to the bar and trying to get laid.

So, there is me

Yea I know what you mean. People always tell me if I want to go to a party with them and I tell them no because Im playing Final Fantasy or reading my Game Informer. So i guess that makes me a geek, but its not as bad as people think it is and I sure dont look like a typical geek either.

[Athna Loveil]

Well, for me i'm not sure but I tink I am since I am a big fan of anime and fantasy with a ultimate favorite of Final Fantasy especially 10 since I pratically got a whole file of pictures on it plus some short vidoes and that I may go a little cuckoo sometimes [lol] [Its on what i think, keep it to yourself if i'm weirder than that]

[.EcKS.]

I don't consider myself as a geek as in the stereotypical geek you see on television and such. Geek as in the glasses, intelligence and pimples all over the face lol. People may have thought I was one when I was going to high school but they can think what they like. I am definitely a computer geek though, I guess those two are similar but I don't class myself as intelligent! I am always on the computer and I pretty much hate being away from it. I have been like this for quite a few years now lol. I suppose I am a gaming geek too since I love Final Fantasy and a few other games.

So yes, I am a geek but not one of those stereotypical ones you see on television shows.

This thread's pretty interesting. There's no way in hell I would turn down a party so I could play FF. I'd go to that party and have an awesome time. I have the games on the shelves. I could always play it the next day or something. Its not like its going to walk away. But that's just me.

Do I consider myself a geek? Sorta, in a way I guess. More so like a gaming geek like Crazy Chocobo mentioned. I love playing video games, I do have Game Informer magazings in my room, and yeah. That's pretty much it.

I'd call myself a non geek with geekish tendencies.
I like anime and RPGs, but if they were the be all and end all I'd probably go totally insane. And I don't get overly good marks at anything really, I tend to be pretty much average. And I've noticed now that I'm lucky to play games for a couple hours a week. I used to play a whole lot more, but not now.

But then again I don't really fit into any generalised category. I'm just me, and that's the way I like it.

I laugh at jokes about computer prompts, I laugh at Dungeons and Dragons' jokes.

I use a computer most of the time, and enjoy making charts and lists.

Am I a geek?

Most likely.

I even take lame geek tests to see just how geek I am... I know only one person that got a higher score than me. Sad, really...

P.S, I would like a c:\dos\run shirt. I think that seals the deal.

You would be more of a geek if that was a unix command

[Sinister]

Wow, the poll is showing a lot of honesty. Geek. Not really the sensitive type, myself. But I do obsess over little things. I know a few things but I know them really really really well. I'm a scientist, so I guess you could swing off and call me a geek on general principle.

I'm really quiet in person and very daydreamy.

I wear make-up and dress in black and live in Gotham city...lol, nvrmind.

But geek, yea maybe.

[Priscilla]

If I am a geek, i'm not your average geek.
I like going out, going shopping for clothes, dressing up.
But on the other hand I spend a lot of money on anime and manga, as well as video games. I work at a game store. I listen to Jpop almost exclusively. I am always on my computer.

I don't get great marks and i'm not an over achiever. I just like.. uhm geeky things I guess.
