    Why would adults play games and watch anime?:indifferent:

    Because both are awesome :D

    I'm all the above and love it! :)

    Not a big fan of anime or comic books. I'm a "classical" nerd in the sense that my passions revolve around science and technology, I make my living doing what I love, and I enjoy reading and thinking about the future.

    Addendum: part of the reason I want to get into shape is that I am an extropian at a very core level, and being healthy is a very important component to that.

    Lifting heavy ****, moving quickly, and looking good are just icing on the proverbial cake.

    Anime/video game nerd here! I have never cosplayed, but would like to give it a try once I get all the weight off.

    Oh yes. I'm going to ACen and while I won't be at my goal weight by then, I'll at least be less "fluffy" for my cosplays, which rather demand fitness. I've been thinking about going to Dragoncon too, which would be great motivation to work towards.

    I'm definitely being Michael Jackson again, who as we all know was skinnier than a mo-fo, lol. I'm quite jealous of his graceful sinewy-ness. I've also been wanting to cosplay T-elos from Xenosaga and her costume is hella revealing.

    Why would adults want to read books? Watch movies? Watch TV? It's entertainment. I'm an avid reader, but I can say honestly that I've learnt a lot more from games and had more personal, meaningful experiences with them due to the interactivity.

    Gah! I ♥♥♥ anime and cosplaying! Well, I wish I could cosplay, right now I'm too fluffy. But I plan on going to a convention next January and hope to be in better shape by then so I can!

    Lol *raises hand*. I'm a nerd, gamer, and anime geek. Would do cosplay but never been thin enough to do it any justice... maybe once I reach my goal weight x)

    I'm going to Anime Boston next month, and I'm going as Summoner Yuna! I'm SOOOO excited!

    *high five*

    FFX is my favourite game of all time! ^_^ I love X-2 as well, mainly because Tidus is resurrected. :3

    I loveeee FFX. I've replayed it more than any other video game I've ever played (and I've played a lot).

    I don't game as much as I used to, but I was a huge wow addict from launch until MoP. Love Zelda franchise, and RE. I also have a Network Administration degree which would probably classify me as a nerd.

    I love to see cosplay, although I've never done it myself. I'm far from "crafty." You won't see me making any steampunk gear, that's for sure.

    While I should note I'm not taking friend requests now, it's still nice to see others with similar interests on here! (:

    My husband and I are a very geeky blend. He grew up on the Playstation and Xbox, and I grew up on Nintendo. Now we're married, I'm pretty sure we've heard of everything...
    We've also seen a decent number of anime series between us, so throw that in there too and you have a house with subtle geek references everywhere!

    Fun!

    OHHH YOU GUYS. <3 Let's be friends!

    FFX, for the record, is my favorite game as well. Followed closely by FFVII! And Nobuo Uematsu just makes my heart go pitter-patter!

    I don't do cosplay but I sure do play some World of Warcraft. I'd looooove be able to dress like a Night Elf Druid.

    Just treat exercise as an RPG. I always imagine +1 Knowledge appearing above my head when I finish a book, or +1 Fitness when I finish working out.

    XD I think I'm in love!

    I love cosplay but the soft pillows of fat don't lend themselves well to many costumes. I think the most recent I've done was Yako from Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro for a library event (if we don't count Halloween 'cause... Halloween.)

    I'm also big in the whole science/math/technology stuff as well as sci-fi and fantasy but anime.. it holds a special place in my heart.

    Not a cosplayer but grew up on RPGs, boardgames, and wargame miniatures. Still doing the miniatures and a few rpg sessions a year. The good thing about being older and wargaming is I can finally afford the good books on obscure battles and biographies; not that my wife gets excited about uniforms of the Seven Years War.

    XD I used to be super obesessed with FFX. Actually, every time I hear the song "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa, I think of the Zanarkand Abes, lol!

    Huge geek right here!! I wanted to get to my goal weight before this upcoming ACen, so I could cosplay as Korra, Fem Dark Link, and Arachne (Soul Eater) but that didn't happen. Definitely going to be ready by next year though :D
