Nerds Unite!

I'm and all around nerd too. I'm currently playing FFXIV, DnD, Magic the Gathering, Pokemon Card Game, WoW Card Game, and replaying FFIX. I use to play WoW Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, Rift, FFXI, and Everquest. I was really big into FFXI for about 10 years; I was part of the Limit Break Radio podcast for a few years until I moved cross country. I haven't been able to table top game lately because I don't have a group to play with anymore, but I recently bought the coolest d20 ring and I'm itching to try it out. I like comic books, anime, manga, star wars, star trek, and cheesy super hero cartoons too. Never really jumped on the doctor who bandwagon, though I've tried watching it a few times. (4th doctor 5th doctor 8th doctor, 9th doctor) It just never really held my attention. I've done a little geocaching, and I would run away and live at a renaissance faire if it had wifi lol. SNES was definitely my "main console" that I played the most of. ChronoTrigger is by far my favorite game, but donkey kong country has a special place in my heart too. I'm also a "classic nerd" I like reading, science, math, and, I'm a little ashamed to admit, I can be a bit of a grammar nazi.

Welcome to MFP!

Hello Frank (and everybody else)
I am a 22 year old, gamer/anime/comicbook/manga/horror/science geek with many a pound to shed!!

I am at university studying Forensic Science, I'm about to go into my third year. I am crazy about bone chemistry and toxicology! Completely love it!
When I am not sciencing around, I either working as a board game demonstrator, spend my time reading (Terry Pratchett, Harry Potter and the Songs of Fire and Ice Series anyone?) or on my XBox, 360.
I am completely obsessed with Bioware, currently playing through the Mass Effect series and Dragon Age series for the upteenth time,(On a side note: INQUISITION IS OUT IN OCTOBER YEAHHHH!!!).

If my job doesn't give it away, I love playing boardgames, my favorites are Pandemic, Zombies!!!, Dixit and Zombie Dice on days I can't be bothered. I also play Pathfinder (Half-Drow Sorceress) and was meant to part of a ShadowRun campaign but the GM changed his mind, Boo!!!

I also enjoy Comic Books and pretty much everything by Jhonen Varques (JTHM is the ShizzNazz!), I have countless Lenore and Spiderman comics, I've also been slowly working through The Walking Dead series.

I used to have a terrible fear of zombies when I was little thanks to my brother using Resident Evil as a way or harassing me, but thankfully that fear has blossomed into a zombie-mad obsession, I know most zombie films suck but I just can't help myself!!!

I read Manga and used to watch anime, I still do occasionally but during term time it gets really restricted, and I am a massive horror movie junkie, I love horror films.

Anyway I have babbled enough!!
Feel free to add me!! I'd love to talk crap about all the stuff I obsess over!!
NERDS UNITE!
Heehee!!

Old school nerd here ...books, many books. I have read All The Science Fiction (almost), plus I read classics, non fiction, and weirdo bizarre freak books of pure fun. Also I game PC+Console.

(my username here because I also sew, knit, cook, love live music shows, and just a whole hell of a lot)

p.s. anyone else use habitrpg.com? It's kinda fun to earn dragons and potions for working out/making the bed every day.

Greetings! I'm Linka, 24, and I live in NYC.

I enjoy anime and video games (mostly Nintendo, and I'm a big Zelda fan!), TOS Star Trek (I'll get to TNG someday XD), and I'm a newbie Whovian! I'm also into vocaloid.

I love to cook and I enjoy crocheting every now and then which helps express my geeky side: I've made some pokemon and a cuthulu! XD

I'm looking to lose 10 lbs overall (and I'm about halfway there!), and I'm trying to recover from a foot injury I got earlier this year.

Feel free to add me!

Any room on this thread for old nerds? I grew up during the Lost in Space, Star Trek TOS, Johnny Quest and Twilight Zone era so I would completely understand if you need to port me over to a geriatric thread.

Too funny!! Am I the only Harry potter obsessed person on here? What about crafty people? I love BBT and the walking dead and hope to get to a small enough size to be able to cosplay one day. I'm also obsessed with anything to do with Jim Henson.

Jim Henson is one of my idols!

All: I'm getting tired of clicking, it'd be easier if you just add me.

This is genius.

Just joined it after hearing about it here. Looking forward to using it to keep my other habits in check!

Nerd mom here...and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Taking my son to Niagara Falls Comic-Con this coming weekend. Is that nerdy enough for you? (btw he cosplays classic Doctor Who and I help make his costumes)

Hello fellow nerds!

I'm Jen. 37 years old with a lot to lose. Trying to set "mini goals" up for myself...lose 25 first...then shoot for another 25. If I look at the big picture...maybe 75lbs would be "ideal."

I am a nerd, but my husband calls me a dork. I love 80s metal, I think playing with legos is fun, I use to be an advid WOW player until we had kids, I love reading dystopian type novels (with the occasional Flower in the Attic type thrown in for good measure), I like to crochet, and the icing on the cake is I am an Electrical Controls Engineer. Yes....I do machine/automation and HMI programming and I LIKE IT.

Looking forward to getting to know other fellow nerds and supporting eachother. If you are local to the Buffalo, NY area...I love to meet other walking/workout buddies!

I'm a Brit Mystery fan too and also read Child, Connelly, Cornwell, Cussler, Baldacci and too many more to name. Add me as a friend if you want.

AWAY FROM THE GAMING:

I noticed there is a lot of talk about gaming on here so I am going to branch away from it now lol.
OTHER than gaming what do you like that is nerdy?

I personally:
I crochet

I draw http://ladyghostduchess.deviantart.com/ (my art)

I am a HUGE Ren Junky - I actually have enough books and blue prints to properly construct a castle. I also have a recipe for boar's head.

I am one of the BIGGEST (and I don't mean weight) Titanic nerds out there!

I am a NaNoWriMo Winner (the book was a Titanic book go figure lol)

I am a writer (anything and everything I can do!)

I LOVE reading (which was a new year's resolution a few years ago to do, prior too I did not pick up a book). I read Cozy Mystery, Historical Fiction, YA. I have ALL of Christopher Moore's books. I have many books in my collection signed by authors. I am also a Beta-Reader for a few authors.

I love Geology...Rocks, Dinosaurs, Volcanoes...omg It is like a party for me!

I adore the X-Men

COSTUMES! I love Period costumes...OMG

Okay...so... now here is my movie nerd:
I own all of: Game of Thrones, Community, Big Bang Theory, Pretty Little Liars, Downton Abbey, Futurama, Pushing Daisies, Once Upon A Time, Cleaveland Show, Dead Like Me, Harry Potter, Twilight (don't kill me), High School Musical (don't kill me), Bring it on (don't kill me), Jurassic Park, 3 Ninjas.
I almost have every season of: Chuck, True Blood, Lost
My favor actors: Sam Neill and Jorge Garcia (known for some pretty nerdy movies/shows)

I collect:
Dinosaurs
Ghosts
Water Mammals (manatee, otter, walrus, sea lion..etc)
Penguins


THERE WE GO! I got more...I know it lol
Feel free to add me as a friend! :drinker:

Seen a few writers on here. I think that's sort of a trend (myself included) among introverts. We don't spend as much time socializing as some other folks and sort of live in our heads. I wrote for about 5 years straight once, came up with some insanely oddball stuff (a trilogy about mutant bunnies from outer space as an example and a half finished volume on Atlantis that I got way too into).

I wonder how many other folks like me just have a collection of writings that they sort of keep to themselves or very close friends?

I am actually a social butterfly LOL
I talk A LOT when I get into things. I love having friends and being engulfed in the world.
When the characters in my head start talking is when I start getting worried HA. I love to share my stuff when ti comes to writing. I have posted a few blogs with my writing here actually.

I'm a writer. My focus is mostly writing about moral gray areas with an emphasis on dystopian futures via fiction. I love it. Probably am not any good at it, but that won't stop me!

Also, do we have a group on here yet?

Maybe we should have one!
