Seeking geeky friends! We're talking comic book lovers, anime watchers, steampunk enthusiasts, you name it. I'm trying to find friends on here that I can relate to with other stuff alongside with weight lose.
Just trying to keep things interesting. Feel free to add me! :)

    There's another gamer/anime thread knocking about on here... There may be a group, but I haven't seen any as yet.
    I like anime. Watching Gintama, atm. Loved Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, FMA... Used to watch Doctor Who, but didn't really like Peter Capaldi as the Doctor (sorry current fans!) so haven't seen it in a long while. Play Minecraft with my sons and am a Zelda fan. Happy to be added! x

    Eh, there must be more of us out there. Although Peter Capaldi is great, don't get me wrong, he failed to capture me like the other Doctors did so I feel you on that one. I love Minecraft mostly just because I love sandboxes. I keep restarting The Forest mostly just to keep creating my camp and it's always on vegan mode of course. lol (The Forest is basically a hyper realistic version of Minecraft except instead of zombies it's mutant cannibals and they can pretty much get you at any time. Probably wouldn't recommend for youngsters.)

    I imagine 'Doctor Whom' being really posh, like if Stephen Fry played The Doctor....

    Massive geek here too. Like pretty much all of the above. Not a big anime fan though.

    I'm not cute enough to cosplay! My little boy loves dressing up like Link, though. I'm still trying to talk him down from blue contact lenses and peroxide...!

    Before kids I was a big anime, comic book, steampunk geek. Now I don't have time for any of it. @ladyahiru I didn't like the CLAMP stuff after Magic Knight Rayearth. The ending was messed up. I would say my favorite animes were probably Beck, FLCL, S-cryed, Brain Powered (although I hated the voices in the japanese version and the English dub), and I loved every Gundam series.

    The only "steampunk" type stuff I've read lately was the Lindsey Buroker (not sure if that is how you spell it) books.

    Welcome. Unfortunately it does lead towards snickering when the Oxford Commas are mentioned for a while afterwards.

    Big geek: mostly Doctor Who (c'mon... Capaldi's awesome!! He's the perfect embodiment of old Who and new Who) and Walking Dead. I'm also the advisor for the Doctor Who Club at the school I teach at.

    The only comic books I read are TWD; no anime.

    Hi! I'm what most would consider to be a geek. I like to think of myself as a well rounded geek.

    I'm a computer science student with interests in cryptography, security and privacy. Also taking a second degree at the same time in business. My minors are in math and French.

    I love Doctor Who, Star Wars, Firefly, Star Trek, Sailor Moon, Astro Boy.

    Also a music geek. Play flute, guitar, piccoli and piano. I also sing and write.

    I've done a lot of video editing and making back in my day, however my YouTube presence really dropped after I started focusing more on the gym and stuff.

    My approach to weight loss is anchored by the available scientific studies in weight loss and obesity and addictions.

    Neil Degrasse Tyson, Bill Nye The Science Guy and Yoni Freedhoff and my homeboys.
