Calling All Nerds!!

in Introduce Yourself
Hello All! I'm back, yet again, for a battle with my obesity. Currently in the process of a separation with my wife and am taking that as a sign it's time to put myself number one, learn to love myself, and get my *kitten* in shape.

I am a sarcastic, fun loving guy always on the search for movie and music recommendations and am looking to my nerd side for some help in getting my large self going. I am majorly into Star Wars, Star Trek, Skyrim, Lord of the Rings, various other video games and nerd things. I haven't had a nerd community around me in a while, and that is where I am most comfortable. If you fit the bill, drop me a message with your favorite nerdgasms and let's have ourselves some fun while losing weight.

    hmm not sure if I'm a compatible nerd, as the only thing on your list I check if LotR and video games. But if you want friendly motivation you can add me =)

    Video games (as that covers soooo much these days): JRPG mainly, try to stick to turn based or light action (like Tale of series). also play a LOT of download games on BigFish these days. Also currently playing Final Fantasy 14...very slowly...lol

    I’m a nerd/jock, does that count?

    Love some video games and outdoor play.

    My video game choices lean towards online multiplayer. SWTOR was one of my obsessions, The Secret World.

    I don't look it but I have my nerd moments 😉 currently jamming Dying Light on PC, Skyrim & Fallout on PS, occasionally play LOL but not often because of the trolls... and love a good anime!
    Add me I'm happy to talk nerd and fitness 😁

    Well, I'm in Germany, and yes, I'll proudly call myself a nerd. I love LOTR, Star Wars, the Star Trek universe (just not DS9), and reading fantasy (Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorites). I also love computer games (since I don't have any gaming console). My biggest obssession for years has been WoW. Feel free to add me, if you like.

    Also, if you like LOTR, do you know the Walk to Mordor app? It's a great motivation to get moving!

    Oo yes Brandon Sanderson is an amazing author!

    And board games, so amazing when my husband introduced me to tabletop gaming. We have so many that we are dedicating a room in our new house to them!

    I'm not much into video games, but you'd have to look awfully hard to find a more hard core Trekkie. Feel free to add me :)

    Welcome to MFP. From one nerd to another, you got this. It was a heck of a lifestyle change for me back in 2015, but still at it and I'm better off for it.

    Too bad the OP seems to have deleted his account (at least I'm getting an error when trying to access his profile / send a message). But I'm a baby nerd and always on the lookout for more nerd friends.

    My junk is Marvel (the MCU, mostly), Harry Potter, video games in general (faves are RPG's and sims), books and fanfiction.

    Fanfic? Which fandoms? And do you write, read, or both?

    "*kitten*" is MFP's swear filter. It started as an April Fool's joke but has since stuck.

    It's too bad the OP deleted his account, I was about to send a FR. Anyway, anyone else is free to add me. Into Star Wars, Doctor Who (went as the 4th Doctor for Halloween last year), MST3K (wore a Joel-era Gizmonics jumpsuit to MegaCon this year). I'm a PC gamer, right now I'm mainly playing Elite: Dangerous, and my kids have sucked me into Fortnite and PUBG (although I'm terrible at shooter games). Oh, and I'm an aerospace engineer, which makes me a real-life rocket scientist I guess.

    Can I join!?

    On the gaming side, I absolutely love Mass Effect, Skyrim (Elder Scrolls franchise), WoW, Diablo, Star Craft, Alice: Madness returns (American McGee is awesome btw), Dragon Age etc.
    On the movie side; Star Wars, Harry potter, Star trek, Marvel franchise, DC franchise and many many other things.

    Also get called a weeb (despite not being male.... and not having a waifu pillow...... (O_o) )

    I'm 29, weigh far too much and yesterday, I got made redundant at work, SO, it's time to make a change.

    Add me if anyone fancy ^_^
