While I can't claim to be a "cool" geek like El Matador, I am proud to be a D&D player, a Browncoat, space and science nut, NPR listener  , and free thinker. I can also say that I don't live in my parent's basement, have had sex with a real woman, and don't eat my boogs. (Suck it, Zane!) |

Well I am in the same general area, I play Magic the gathering, and am an NPR listener. D&D is a little too far for me though, tried to play and after rolling dice for like the 25th time in 10 minutes i felt like slamming my head against the wall. On top of it I am firmilliar with a few different programming languages.
However I live with my wife and 2 children, I don't eat my boogs, and contrary to popular belief I have a life.

I know what a Browncoat is without looking it up. I love Buffy. I saw Return of the King 17 times in the theatre. |

I'm a software designer, which is usually considered a geek by default. I still love video games and I'm a big Star Wars and LOTR fan.
I also run 4 miles a day at least 4 days a week, work out 3 times a week, and I love sports (football, baseball, and basketball mostly). I'm also married to a real woman and live in my own house.

My degree is in computer science - So I hear you on the "geek by default" tag. I also love video games, I like reading...Played EQ and currently still play WoW...No kids so we stay up drinking Mountain Dew and play PS3 all night. I love lolcats - icanhascheezburger.comOn the flip side we don't look geeky, plus we own our home and have good jobs. The geek is on the inside hiding. |

I'm a geek, sure, I think, too many kinds of geeks. Build computer gaming systems, old school and new school nintendo addict. But I do leave my house and have a social life that doesn't always include something to do with "Oh look I can now buy my new HHD DVVDD BVD Player that can now play MP 48s." But just because I prefer to shoot random people few more than several hours on a computer everyday when I get the chance , that makes me a geek. I refuse to recognise PWNED as a word though. (( Take that Dirtbag Zane ))

I appologize for grammatic errors due to a letter left out on a few words... but it was just mock to the rather needless formats of certain things, as well as techonogical devices that do one thing, and as well as do another... So if you can't gather get it the irony of htat previous post. Either one or two things need to be simply explained, or you just aren't going to get the commonly conceived geeky type person in society. I feel dead now for even choosing to post this.

Hey it's called proud to be a geek, posting here and admiting it is appearing nerdy to begin with, if you've ever tried D&D you would see how bad it is, it makes MTG look like competitive sport compared to it.  |

closet geek here..If I wasn't busy trying, (repeat trying) to raise a family, I could easily be one of those people who play on-line RP games 24/7. As it is, I try to squeeze a lil' time to play my Total War or A of E games. By myself of course, I always play with myself...oops TMI....

I feel as though I might be one of, if not the biggest geek on the boards. Here's my proof, in no particular order. I'm a drummer in a metal band. I could probably drum out a general idea of a drum rhythm after hearing the song once or twice. (general idea being main beat, no fills. although, I could probably come close.) I have both a Wii and an Xbox 360 and have beaten every game I own for both systems. I am a huge fan of metal music. Anything from melodic metal, to extremely heavy death metal, you name it, and I'll probably like it. I am still a huge fan of the Pokemon series of video games, and could probably list almost all 493 of them without help. Since the beginning of this year, I've kept a log of the high and low temperature for every single day, and have yet to miss a day. I'm extremely fascinated by space. I could stare at the stars for hours and wonder what's out there, and what it's like, etc. I'm also fascinated by all things science. Always have been. In total, I have 61 video games, for PC, Xbox 360, Wii, Gamecube, Nintendo DS, and Gameboy. I'm currently in the process of building myself a gaming computer. I know what the following abbreviations stand for, without having to look them up; NAT, GPU, CPU, RAM, HDD, BIOS, SATA, DDR SDRAM, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB, and YB. I think you get my drift. There's much more stuff, but I have to go help move a pool, so I'll probably update this later with more stuff. Let the attacking begin. haha
