geek = metal head...

[no country for old wainds]

i was always the bad kid who sat at the back of the class at school and yet i still did better at work than everyone else 'cause i'm awesome enough to be cool and smart

i hate geeks btw, the metal soc at my uni is full of them

I definately have a geek-streak in me. I play lots of video games and program computer software in my spare time, but I have a pretty good social life, so it all balances out.

 

[whiskey funeral]

It's pretty funny how just about everyone in this thread has made an effort to point out that they have social lives.

 

[mutantllama]

I don't have a social life. I sit at my computer all day, while eating potato chips and drinking soda.

 

[Belligerent]

Tbh i've never been geeky/nerdy. Maybe the geekiest thing i do is listen to cheesy 80's pop.

 

[The Butt]

I don't consider myself that big of a nerd, tbh. I play Magic, but that's about it.

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

fiiiiiiixed

Fucking A!!

Used to be an EQ1 addict back in the day, probably close to as nerdy as it gets.

 

[mutantllama]

This is how nerdy I am. I play computer games, play magic, when music is about swords and dragons it's even better, I'm in a computer class where all we do is hack each others computers, I'm really into swords and shit, still a virgin, I've only been to like a few parties and they weren't really parties but more social gatherings of a few friends where we got high, I love fantasy type of stuff, and know that this is a run on sentence.

 

[Heat Mizer]

Fixed, you gotta mind your internet reputation better kid.

Lama, you could have left out the virgin part.

 

[mutantllama]

But it adds to my nerdyness.

 

[AchrisK]

Virginity rules!

 

[viewerfromnihil]

meh, i was actually very disappointed the first time i had sex, i thought it would be way better

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

Let me put it this way. Saying Halo is your favorite videogame is like saying Trivium is your favorite metal band. Derivative, soulless and ultimately boring, yet still popular as shit.

 

[mutantllama]

I do find Halo to be boring. But then again, I haven't played Halo 3.

wat?

 

[mutantllama]

I do find Halo to be boring. But then again, I haven't played Halo 3.

The funny part about this is that I play DotA, which is pretty much the same exact map every game, besides a few changes to it every once in a while. Good thing the different heroes vary the game.

 

[Black Friday]

Even worse than the first two.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

wat?

yea, i would second that but i said it. it's good but i honestly think that sex is overrated

 

[BLARGAG!!!]

im gonna clarify what i mean by geek, cuz everyone seems pretty intent upon that.

Geek: a person who (while having some form of social life) pursues hobbies (or something of that ilk) that are seen as not "socially acceptable" or "in".

i fit this description quite well. while maintaining a pretty active social life, i play warhammer and d&d fairly avidly, and i listen to metal (which gives me 3 strikes on the socially unacceptable things to due during HS/Uni chart )

about Halo, i found the first one ok, but not nearly good enough to purchase (or even try for that matter) the other 2. though, im not really the person to ask because the most recent video game that i own is Soul Caliber 3, and i still only have a PS2.

@viewer_from_nihil: im inclined to second the "what?" from Belligerent. tho im a bit young (@ only 17) to really have any experience in that department. though im still quite surprised by that statement.

@ everyone else, im quite surprised by the number and variety of the responses. thanks for the great discussion, keep it up!

peace
