in Motivation and Support
I noticed that there is a girl geek thread that a lot of guys crashed so I thought I would start a new thread so us geeks can easily find one another. This way we can motivate and support each other as unified geeks!

Just let us know what geek flag you fly!

I'm a Sci-Fi, Comic and Video Game loving geek.

    I'm a LARPing geek! I also love fantasy novels and movies, but I don't know if I totally qualify as a "geek" for those things... I'm kind of a closet geek. xD

    LARPing I think pretty much ensures you are. I'm a geek, not sure if I'd take the time to classify it myself though :P I've only played a few RPGs, but some of my friends used to be big into D&D and D20 and such...one of them once said they tried to think of working out as improving their stats...although I don't remember how well they stuck with it...plus I think there was an XKCD comic about that

    I'm a tech journo, so I get paid to be a geek! The field I'm in people I talk to tend to think I'm a spy when I tell them what I'm writing about!

    I like videogames and "real" games (board, card etc.), sci-fi, fantasy and all that good stuff.

    Does the following phrase give you goosebumps?

    This week's Doctor Who is penned by Neil Gaiman.

    It does me!

    Hmm, well I have somewhat diversified geek tastes... I started off with an interest in fantasy and sci-fi books. I was very into Next Generation during it's original run. In college I went through a bit of an Anime phase. These days I'm mostly into WoW, my weekly D&D group, and the very occasional Con.

    Oh, would SCA count toward geekery?

    Great to see there are lots of us here working to combat the stereotypical images. :happy:

    Ezio! I love the AC games. There are so many possibilities for them. I really would like to see them move along to other time periods. Can you just imagine a Samurai AC game?

    Dunno - it might be a glorified Tenchu Z (or 13 Assassins)! Could be fun though! I'd like to see Victorian London, with a new spin on Jack the Ripper (Abstergo agent/Templar/ rogue Assassin kind of thing!) Am looking forward to Constantinople.

    Oh, and new FNV DLC coming soon! Mojave Wasteland, here I come....again!
