    I'm a gamer at heart. I've been playing games since the Atari was popular. I mainly play online games now, but am actually playing Diablo 3 mostly. My favorite computer game of all time is Master of Magic. My favorite video game is Legend of Zelda. I love movies, martial arts are my favorite, along with anything Marvel.

    I work at a nuclear plant, I'm like Homer Simpson's boss sort to speak. =)

    I used to be addicted to M:TG, spent a lot of money on cards and ate ramen since I would rather buy the cards then food.

    Now I tend to focus on being active more with gaming/movies still in the picture.

    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!

    I think there might be some scientific link between sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours at a time while drinking Mt. Dew and eating pizza and folks that need to lose weight.

    Not sure what the connection is but I'm sure it's out there.

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

    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)

    I am a fellow nerd trying to lose weight as well. I am into many different games and video games. I also like Harry Potter and LOTR. However, my big fan fanatic would be Indiana Jones. I like to craft and garden as well. Most people say I am a old women stuck in a young woman's body. Whatever. Crocheting a piranha plant scarf for my Mario Bros. friends screams fun for me!

    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!

    Closet nerd here. I have been gaming since I was old enough to pick up a controller. Played a couple MMO's for a while but that died when my excessive free time did during college. I did also play MtG for a while, but it was just too expensive keeping up with every new expansion.

    Most people have no idea how hardcore into gaming I am based on my appearance. Its kind of hilarious to drop it on them.

    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?
