    I guess Iam a gamer/chic geek with a slight bent to internet geekery (I fake it really good because I know 2-3 serious hardcore internet geeks and they fill me in on what I need to know)

    Oh, I forgot to share my geekly identity.

    Total Music Geek, liberally sprinkled with Film Geek (3D IS destroying film's artistry!) with a dash of Internet Geek. Okay, maybe another dash of that last one. :tongue:

    I aspire to be The Übergeek one day, but I've only partioned my computer once. And suspenders are sorta hot.

    Acording to Wikipedia:
    The definition of geek has changed considerably over time, and there is no longer a definitive meaning. The terms nerd,gimp,dweeb,dork, and spod have similar meanings as geek, but many choose to identify different connotations amongst these terms, although the differences are disputed.

    That is my husband totally. Well. not the linux builds, but he is a code nerd. He and his college buddies tell jokes about algorithms and he complains that his coworkers only like the cute coding tricks he shows them because it makes things easier for them, not because they are elegant and charming solutions to whatever. and he tries to tell me hilarious stories about the cute solution he found for X all the time, but I never laugh.

    I'm mostly a book geek, which is not listed. Of these, I have leanings toward Star Wars, Star Trek, comic books, gamer, and crafts. I'd do cosplay if I could ever get thin enough.

    Gah, too many!

    Internet/Gamer/Music/Film/ST/SW/Comic...

    But they don't have anything for Horror genre or Art/Design geeks or I'd throw those in too.
  • If I had to choose one, Film Geek. If I had 3 I could choose from, Film, Star Wars and Apple Geek. With a touch of Video Geek thrown in.

    Haha... true, though I do believe comic book geeks and manga/anime/"Japanophile" geeks generally keeps their worlds separated, although there's plenty of overlap.
    What if you play Final Fantasy ON a pc? lol
    Point taken... a console can be forgiven for the classics. :tongue:
