Looking for support from fellow gamers, nerds and geeks alike! Im in just about every fandom you can imagine, I mean my daughters name is Amelia Rose. Lol. Doctor Who fans will understand. I also own 7 gaming systems and way too many books. If you are like me, add me and we can support each other while talking about nerdy things.

As a Doctor Who fan, that's awesome. We just need to start a weight loss group for geeks. I mean, basically, I use fitting into outfits at cons as my primary weight loss motivation at this point lol

One of my favorite games of all time is/was The Lost Vikings. Those little effers were hilarious

I'm a huge nerd! I go to Comic-con every year!! Last year I met and hugged and he pecked me on the cheek, BRENT SPINER!!! Star trek Star Wars kind of girl!

Last year George Perez kissed me on my cheek. It was amazing!

Huge geek here. Been to multiple conventions, including Comic-Con (where I was almost mowed down by Joss Whedon), and into the books and media thing big-time - Books: Lois McMaster Bujold, Terry Pratchett, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, etc... Movies/TV: Almost any superhero movie, LOTR, Star Wars over Star Trek, Farscape FTW, Firefly, X-Files, watched Buffy, Eureka, the list goes on and on... Collected comic books at a time (X-Men mostly, Dark Knight, some Image titles briefly, etc...)

Feel free to add me, just drop a note telling me what you're into!

As Comic-cons roll through everyone's town, or the big one, I'd love to see your cosplay pics. I usually spend at least one day at my comic-con with my camera.

I'm a Marvel Zombie, but Batman and Detective are my one exception for The Distinguished Competition

Hi everyone, I am new here. I love to cross stitch and build metal earth models and read alot. I love Dr who, studio ghibli, firefly, and enjoy star trek. I play borderlands, skyrim, and saints row.

Love the new Dr, Superheroes (Marvel does better movies, although loving on Arrow & The Flash), Supernatural, Firefly (come on they should have had more seasons!) science fiction, fantasy, and tons and tons of books!

Hey all. I'm a big supernatural fan, I'm pretty crafty, crocheting, scrapbooking etc. I'm forever a boy band lover. Everybody add me. I'm also looking for weight loss support

Of all the threads to jump in on I pick this one!

Paper novel collection just logged 1200, and the ebook collection sits somewhere in the 3500 range. Nearly all of it is fantasy or science fiction of various types with the exception of the "Bang the monster" subgenre (Laurell, Stephanie, I'm looking at you ) Current flavor of the week is military science fiction and space navy stuff.

Avid tabletop gamer we've got a healthy collection of tabletop RPGs and board games and I've been known to drop into the PS3/4 for hours (weeks) at a time if they've released a decent game recently. (Dragon Age Inquisition was the first decent offering for PS4 that I've found. Unfortunately, it's finished now )

I can be found lurking at the local Scifi convention every year making horribly awkward conversation with the authors, (think Dragoncon but wee, not Comiccon or Gencon) who fortunately have lots of experience with that or attending the ritual Eye of Argon reading. (If you don't know that book, look it up. It's incredible, and gets even better when you read it in a group. Not the good incredible either.)

Lots of crafting supplies at home, not a lot of time at the moment to use them. Leatherwork, carpentry, soapmaking, anything else that catches my eye this month. I'd say my biggest hobby is collecting hobbies. I'm eying cosplay, but the T-51b Power Armor might be a bit ambitious for a first project.

I too am a pc gamer. It was during the great red ring of death fiasco that I stopped being a filthy console peasant.
