I dunno if anything I can say sounds as cool as royxzhang's post.
I'm pretty basic, I am part of the PC master race when it comes to gaming. MMOs rock my planet.
I do my best to sneak in to SDCC every year. I love crappy sci-fi shows and I really love movies ( good and bad ). Uwe Boll is one of my favorite speakers I've ever seen.
I'm also left handed and I have a deep, never ending love for Elfquest since I was a little kid and found them at some weird used book shop haha.
Omg and I'm editing this cause how could I forget to mention that I love Defiance *points to ticker*0 -
Guess I fit in here. I'm 24 and have been playing games for as long as I can remember. I actually learned to read by playing video games. I have a xbox360, PS3, Vita, 3DS, Wii, Wii U, got the Xbox One preordered. Play pretty much any type of game, with my favorite being RPGs. Some of my favorite series would be Final Fantasy, Tales of, Zelda, Mario, Resident Evil, Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, The Sims, Star Ocean, Shin Megami Tensei Persona, Dragon Quest, the list goes on and on. I love anime, I watch the Persona 4 anime, Sword Art Online, Baka and Test, Chobits, again it goes on and on. Also a big art fan. I love to draw. I mostly draw video game and anime characters, it's a big passion of mine besides gaming. I know this is part of the reason I need to lose weight. Sitting and playing games and doing drawings doesn't really burn calories. I spend hours doing one picture. I have started using my stationary bike while I play video games, helps make me forget I am exercising. Although, it doesn't always work well. Sometimes I get really engrossed in the game and don't even realize I stop peddling lol.0

::waves :: Hey everyone! I'm a geeky guy my self with 5 degrees (yes I have no life) and I could use a weight loss buddy :-). I'm currently going to school for degree number 5 in psychology. Like most of the people on this post am also into video games and comic books. I'm still sad that Ben Affleck was chosen to be batman :-(. Anyways hope to get to know you guys!0

Im a proud nerd as well. I like comics (Invincible, Justice League, and Batman are my favorites), and comic book movies. I havent played video games in a while, but when I do I tend to play sports games, like Madden and NBA 2K0

Nerd. Not an engineer but work closely with them.
PC Gaming was my life. EQ,EQ2,Steam, Alice, WoW,Tera Online, Lineage 2, Warhammer (BLECH). LOVED IT ALL.. Then I sort of got addicted to PS3 gaming - Call of Duty /Black Ops to be exact. Sigh.
I rarely get to play these days..work and gym time kind of take priority. Im sure gaming contributed to a lot of my own weight gain over the years.
Firefly is my love. (Browncoats unite!) So much so , I have "Serenity" tattooed on my back.
Big Bang rocks my socks.0 -
Wow, epic thread started in July and still going, nice.
I'm also a nerd (geek?) - in addition to being an avid gamer, I love all things science, stargazing, scuba diving, music, movies and drawing. I work with computers/software, but even if I didn't I would still consider myself an enthusiast / tinker.

I'm a computer engineer, so it kind of goes without saying... Nice to see so many nerds proud of their geekiness. Wear it like a badge of honor.0

I love someone made a post like this =D
I'm a nerd too, so I'm told often =/ Oh well. I haven't been big into playing video games much lately, though... kind of a bad habit for me....but yeah, we won't go there lol!
I love sci-fi-ish stuff, dorky crappy old horror movies, anyyyything star wars too, and I find math kind of fun.. :drinker:0 -
uh...yeah...Sherlock, Firefly, Sci Fi Books (especially my loves Orson Scott Card
and Asimov) and Doctor Who! I also kind of liked Torchwood too...BBC is pretty fantastic...
SPREADSHEEEEEETTTS!!!! I make them for everything! and so does my hubby..like everything...think we have spreadsheet-off's sometimes...I have things detailed about my weight-loss and also about my car's fuel efficiency...I made spreadsheets about my crochet projects and how much yarn each one is going to take...my hubby?? the garden, the pool, his car's fuel, the budget, oh it could go on...its pretty sad, I think we're definitely utilizing our home version of excel more than most;)
No science degree (Gerontology) and I just never got into gaming so I guess you could say I'm a light-weight nerd... 0 -
Awesome ice breaker here!
I'm a 25 years old Canadian illustrator who used to be OK with having a sedentary lifestyle (Who doesn't love video games, cartoons, comic books and TV show marathons?!).
Now that I'm out of school I need to get healthy
If anyone would like to friend me, send me a line 0 -
It's been three months. I think it's time for a bump :P0

Hello! My name is Molly, I'm 22, and I'm kind of a nerd (maybe...)
The only gaming I really do is The Sims, occasionally getting nostalgic with SMB3, and board games (I own about eight different versions of Monopoly, including Star Wars and Doctor Who).
I love all things Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Wrestling. (We don't have time to talk about all the things I love, then I wouldn't have time for them)
I guess my biggest claim to nerdom is my love of reading, there are days when I can get through three good sized novels, I'm not really particular on genre, if it's there and in English, I'll read it.0 -
Yesssss! NERD LYFE 4EVA. I'm making a lightsaber out of plumbing supplies as I type this. I can't wait to be Darth Vader.
I wish I still had time for gaming, but that has been put on the back burner for now.
Also, I think mechanical keyboards are sweet and can't wait to add to mine. I dig that ol' "click-clack" sound.
Just thought I'd let MFP know about my love for them, haha.
Anybody can add me! I need friends plzzzz0 -
Nerds are best! Very nerdy-mostly a tv and movie fan, probably how I gained most of my weight. I mean, who has time to eat right and exercise when there is so much awesome stuff to read, watch, and play?! My house looks like a 16 year old boy decorated it-superheros and anime stuff everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Anyway, also I am new to actually logging in and doing it, but late is better than never. Just looking for some like minded awesome folks to motivate and be motivated by. 0

Pretty nerdy here. Have lots of awesome Dr Who geek friends on here 0

Also, I totally get Big Bang Theory. <g>My husband calls me a nerd cause I get the jokes on the Big Bang Theory
My sister says the same thing! Hahaha. I also spend time on Pinterest and there was a joke about 20 degree angles drawn on a snow scene and someone said, "Awww, someone made snow angles"! I thought it was funny.
I do enjoy games, though not as much as my husband - you'd love him! He's really into Borderlands 2 right now and listens to Bahroo and a few others.0 -
Just saw this post and so excited that it's here!
I'm a total geek, from back before it was "in" lol :P
I love comics, and anyone who is into comics and hasn't read Skydoll...it's my favorite, go read it. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is up in my top series as well. My husband and I are Whovians, and have been watching ever since the relaunch with the 9th doctor, and have watched back all the way to the first. We used to play D&D, though these days we're more fond of Pathfinder. Whenever we got married we played the Mario Kart Love Song (look it up on youtube if you haven't heard it) and I have promised him that when we renew our vows we will somehow include the master sword. We love video games, other than Mario Kart he's more into the newer games like COD. Personally the only newer game I'm a big fan of is Portal and Portal 2 (though I do like Bioshock), my fandom lies with oldschool NES and N64 -- and we own both of those systems.
I originally planned to get my degree in forensic entomology, and many of my friends work in the science field whether it by my kids' godfather who is a biological anthropologist or my two close friends that are mycologists. I love all things science! I also absolutely adore anything dealing with quantum theory.
Anyhow, that's enough for now -- I should be working haha, but I was excited to see this post
EDIT:
Just noticed there are some other Sherlock fans here, great! I also forgot to bring up that I am a recovering wow-aholic :P. My husband and I actually clicked because I was managing a hookah lounge and he came in wearing a green lantern shirt and I had the song "Do you want to date my avatar" playing over the loud speakers. He was, a bit intoxicated (okay a lot intoxicated) and kept telling me that I was his Ramona Flowers (I think having pink hair helped..._ 0 -
Personally I haven't played in two years, BUT I should add that I also haven't been able to afford to pay for it for that long either lol. Things may change when I have extra moola :PWouldn't mind knowing how many people relapse and go back to playing WoW. I think I quit it 3 times. The third stuck. I've played quite a few MMOs since I got bored of wow and they are all pretty much the same thing.0 -
Hello everyone!
A friend of mine linked me here.
So here goes: I'm a total nerd (play console and computer games, computer mostly) as well as reader (of anything and everything) and am finally looking for friends online to turn my habits around and keep me accountable.
I'm 32, from Dallas TX and am a manager for a major PBM. I'm not shy at work because I can't afford to be but I am strangler reserved about my weight loss. So! I'm leaning on the internet and friends here to keep me on track.
I'm mostly doing this to get healthy and prep my body for kids in a year or two. I'm just flat out too unhealthy now for anything like that.
So there you have it!
Please feel free to friend me! I'm totally for more friends. I mostly follow a paleo style diet but occasionally eat other things as my budget allows.0 -
I need more friends so feel free to add me.
I play civ, read a lot of sci fi (rereading wheel of time series right now), am a huge history buff and will straight have arguments with people when I know they are getting their facts mixed up.0 -
