geek = metal head...

[General Zaroff]

Yeah, a lot of us do not plan the downfall of the earth and beckon satan during our free time.

Not at 1349, not an attempt to make fun of his and Lord Kur's apparent situation.

Sorry for being so neckrokvlt.

"geek = metal head..."

No.

"but does metal head = geek?"

No.

I agree. There is no equation. Some are, some aren't. Growing up I wasn't, and most of my friends weren't. I was into BMX and getting stoned.

I don't think I know anyone who is as geeky as me, and still I'm cooler than everyone else. So I win.

Alter isn't a Geek. He's goes to parties and listens to Interpol.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i play chess, birdwatch and catch moths

 

[Heat Mizer]

Metalhead does not always equal geek. I'm more of a loner.

Edit: What the hell happened to the quote dammit?

Well, I do alot of nerdy things, but I do alot of other non-nerdy things as well. I'm as likely to play Final Fantasy as lift weights.

 

[wandering_taco]

I'm relatively nerdy, I like chemistry and physics, I play WoW and am obsessed with Halo, but I also(well not atm, but soon will again) work out a lot, chill with my friends, and am learning to play guitar. So idk. Maybe metalheads just have a larger helping of the geek gene than other people.

 

[Black Friday]

I play WoW and am obsessed with Halo

That isn't nerdy, that's just gay. Halo is played by everyone and their dog and it's about as mediocre as it gets.

 

[mutantllama]

yay for being a nerd!

You probably suck. People who hate Halo always suck.

For hating a mediocre derivative game with absolutely no redeeming features? I'm glad I suck then, because I refuse to be pulled into the oblivious void of talent and creativity that anybody who likes Halo is in.
Edit: Unless you're making a very bad joke in which case you should stop, because you actually seem serious.

no, Mathias is pretty much right.

 

[wandering_taco]

Explain to us exactly why Halo sucks in specific terms plz. The nerds are becoming agitated with you.

 

[cookiecutter]

Yeah, most of us here are kind of nerdy, but I wouldn't consider most of us to be geeks. We all have social lives, friends, etc. but most of us have niche hobbies or whatever.

I think this is true. Nerdy interests are a lot of fun, but you have to have some balance.

 

[NinjaGeek]

It depends how you mean geek. If you mean the stereotypical geek then no, I used to be one when I was younger I played lots of videogames (which I play none of now), and was good in science and math and stuff (still am, but I'm going to college for film, rather than pursuing it), and had relatively no social life.

If you mean the more broad term of geek, of anyone who obsesses over certain things to excessive amounts then, fuck yeah I'm geek to the core. I'm a big time movie geek and music geek.

Though using the second definition I would say, how could anyone into underground metal not be? I mean the fact we're all on this website discussing metal makes us all metal/music geeks right from the go. And chances are we all have other interests that we spend just as much time on.

 

[Death Aflame]

I am definitely a geek (film, videogames, music, etc.). Though I do have a fairly active social life, so it seems my geekhood isn't impacting that (too much). However, I think it is definitely affecting my (in)ability to meet women. Perhaps I wear my metal cultural allegiance on my sleeve too much--the long hair and the occasional death metal t-shirts probably aren't seen as very attractive, especially within the fratboy/barbie social culture of my university.

Then again that could just be an easy excuse that helps me sleep at night.

Besides the fact that it builds teamwork, communication, etc? The redeeming qualities are the same as any other fps game.

Halo is extremely frustrating to those who can't win, so that's probably your problem. Or you are just stupid.

Lol, halo arguments
