    Gamer girl here, though PC only ( can't figure out controllers) I play Rift, WoW, Diablo III, Heroes of the Storm, LoL, played Eve for a bit. Love to read, favorite movies LOTR, Star Wars Trilogy, Last 5k I ran was the zombie run in Dallas but I much rather would have been a zombie. Firefly and Serenity rawk. Add me if you would like!

    @rungrrl PC master race ftw? XD A zombie run sounds awesome, I don't think there are any local ones here but I'll have to look it up.

    And YES there are zombie running apps! The original is called "Zombies, Run!" which is a mix of a game, running app and a radio drama. You play the role of a 'runner' in the zombie apocalypse, doing missions each 'episode' when you run. As you run you also gather random resources so you can upgrade your people's base and you can turn on 'zombie chases' so that you'll suddenly encounter a horde and have to speed up to get away XD There are 3 full seasons out (it IS a paid app, but well worth it imo) and they're into their 4th season already.

    The latest app the same people came out with is a 5K trainer which I plan on starting soon. Similar idea as the first but specifically for training you to run over 8 weeks. I plan on starting it soon myself, and I realized that once I've finished and can use the main app, I'll have nearly a year's worth of episodes to go through... so stoked XD

    Also adding you :smiley:

    Best. App. Ever. And the first three seasons are free now, though if you bought the app before then, you can unlock one episode of the fourth season for free once a week. Since I'm only in second season, I should have them all unlocked and ready to go when I get there.

    Hello FitGeekery, I can relate to you, I'm a geek at heart too, didn't really play a lot of the games you mentioned, but I was an avid gamer (I didn't have time to do those anymore). I had the opposite problem of you, having to gain weight was really hard since I was always so skinny. I can tell you though that it is all about mindset and determination, not being afraid to work hard for your goals. You can do it, I believe :blush:

    This is awesome. I never knew that there were so many fellow geeks on MFP. Feel free to add me. I'm into scifi and fantasy. Lol.... it all started with The Jetsons when I was a kid. Not much of a gamer (unless it's Zelda........ Zelda rulezzzz!!!!) and I'm slowly moving towards Marvel comics (love the stories/characters but I'm still not a fan of comic books in general, I just prefer normal books). And I'm sooooo enrolling in Hogwarts is here. I cannot believe I completely missed that one... shame on me LOL
