    Can I openly, without fear, declare myself as a "casual." I used to watch anime/read Manga. I don't anymore. I don't like Star Wars/most Sci fi. I casually read some comic books but none about super heroes (because anyone who doesn't think Chew is just the best comic book in the world is wrong). I don't like MOBAs or FPSes.

    I'm pretty freaking social (I'm a registered Nurse; it comes with the territory) but am still weirdly introverted (recharge by myself). So I go out Friday night to a show, crawl in a hole all of Saturday, and then brunch and game with friends on Sundays.

    Basically, I'm the weirdest type of nerd. I write Harry Potter (straight) and Sherlock fanfiction (slash) . I put hundreds of hours into Fallout 4 before I realized my character looked like a replica of my Saints Row 4 dude. I only liked Far Cry Primal because I could have pets. I own an embarrassing amount of Assassin's Creed merch. I don't like D&D but basically singlehandedly keep Kickstarter's tabletop game category in business.

    And finally, I was picked to do the demonstration at Ollivanders at Universal for my 24th birthday, and getting that wand is still the single greatest experience of my life, even though my best friend got me a pricey, custom one from Allivans.

    Can I belong here, too? I like Deadpool!

    I love gaming, SciFi/Fantasy, read the Song of Ice & Fire before it became a TV show, re-reading the Wheel of Time (on book 4 right now), have to admit I've made some of my best friends on WoW (and we visit in person!), and love Marvel (DC is good too but Marvel has my heart). Add me if you need more geek friends :)

    Ah, the good ol' insurmountable waist-height fence*. That's right up there with touch a body of water and immediately drown...probably my least-favorite game design quirk.

    *WARNING: TV Tropes link. Use at your peril.

    Okay, Alien Isolation.. so far i've got the Insurmountable Waist High Fence (a shopping cart) and now I've got the 10-second flashlight and the quintessential bald psycho with the gun and the crazy eyes. Is there a good reason to continue this game . .or am I out $12.95?

    Never played it so I can't speak to it, but I rarely give up on games. There was Summoner back on the PS2, it gave me motion sickness, and Star Tropics can eff right off.

    Alien Isolation seems to have gotten mixed reviews though.

    YES. I need more nerd friends.

    I love comics! I read Marvel (Thor, Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel, SpiderGwen). I also read a fair amount of Image books (Rat Queens, Birthright, Walking Dead). I don't read too much DC, but I might start reading Flash now that Josh Williamson is writing it.

    I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan (I have a tattoo of the elvish script from the one ring). Other fandoms I'm into are: Star Wars, Supernatural, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Pokemon, Back to the Future, Orphan Black.... the list goes on.

    Feel free to add me! :)

    YASSS!!! I love Anime, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Fan Fics, Cosplay, J-fashion and culture, Harry Potter (Slytherin FTW!), DC and Marvel... lots of fandoms that I wont get into because it will be a long list.

    I don't play a lot of video games anymore because work sucks and whatnot but I do enjoy them. (Xbox, PS4, Nintendo DS, N64 from my childhood XD )

    I collect some POP Figures and Sailor Moon memorabilia, some other anime memorabilia as well. I love going to Comic and Anime Cons, and Renaissance fairs too.

    Feel free to add me. :blush:

    So gamers. . Since the days of DOOM1 games place insurmountable obstacles like shopping-carts in my path to prevent me from getting to my goal (which i can see right there on the other side of that immovable small box!).. Am I the only one that want's to slap someone for this kind of thing?

    Doom?

    I still have a copy of Wolfenstein3D and Spear of Destiny installed and ready to play.

    I love all the nerdy things really. Doctor Who, Sherlock, DC/Marvel, Zombies, Anne Rice Vamps, Ren Faires, Tolkien/lots of epic fantasy novels, Jurassic Park, huge lover of all things mid-century modern including retro television series and movies, Disney, Star Wars and Star Trek, The Cornetto trilogy, Harry Potter, Geometry (really I love it) and probably a couple dozen other things that I can't think of at the moment.

    @Fancyedit Oh man, WoW. I got like 6 years into that game before I quit. Came back for 3 months paying by gold, and couldn't sustain that. Jonesing for it again. 1 month of playtime is like 90k gold right now.

    I am not much of a gamer, and I don't get too into sci-fi although I've casually watched all that stuff Star Wars, Star Trek, firefly, doctor who, etc , but I am really a big fan of Marvel comics and collected big time in the 90s. Love how great the movies have gotten... it is an exciting time to be alive! Haha
