edited September 27 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!

    Total geek here too! I love it all, video games, fantasy / sci-fi movies and books, comics. Love Star Wars and Star Trek equally. I'd love just one day in Middle Earth. :tongue: Is it bad that people often told me I was too smart for them back in the day? lol I'm sort of a nature geek too, taking pics of bugs and flowers and trees all the time now. I'm forever awkward and never quite know what to say to non geeks. :laugh: Oh yeah and all my favorite shows get cancelled too.....Firefly and Legend of the Seeker I miss you!

    My xbox gamertag is xX BUTT3RFLY Xx yes I did just use a 3 for my e! :tongue:

    I'm in! I didn't really think I was a geek until I added it up... comics/graphic novels, sci fi tv, books and films, I adore documentaries about space and own a telescope (albeit a teeny little one), I love rolde playing games but never get to play them any more because my fiance is a computer game geek and I'm not. I also love card games like Doomtown and legend of the 5 rings and used to play blood bowl and the like but don't as much now because there's no-one in my town who is into it too. :)

    Geek enough to join?

    Sci-fi (I'm a Browncoat), fantasy (uh... profile pic?!) and a very mild gamer. I don't play much because that's my husband's domain, and if we were both addicted, the cats would starve then eat our faces while we slept.

    I have a strange obsession with medieval weaponry. And vikings (duh.) and Scotland ( *sigh* kilts :smile: ). Love zombies and vampires. (Eric Northman!!!!) Love to sew, paint and sculpt. I totally geek out over Halloween and have never worn (and will never wear) a store-bought costume. At my Halloween party last year, everyone said, "WOW! You really went all out decorating for this!" but in reality, I hadn't. That's just how my house looks. Very Addams family. I just need a giant two headed tortoise and a swordfish with a leg coming out it's mouth.

    I don't know if it fits the geek criteria, but I'm crazy into home improvement and power tools. Our first Christmas together, my husband got me a cordless drill and that's when I knew I had to marry him. :heart:
