Are you a geek?

[Sprafa]

OK, I admit it.

I am an uber g33k.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Shove him down your throat.

 

[ray_MAN]

And yes, I laughed profusely at the 486 joke at the e3 presentation.

As did I. And the spreadsheet crack was good too.
/me reminisces

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I found it funny...but i laughed more at guys running from the Strider

Just thinking about when i first downloaded it makes me excited.

In case this hasn't been said already, the term "Geek" originally referred to a sideshow performer who ate or swallowed live animals ("Feed the Geek! 5c a mouse.").

I'm still researching "Nerd".

Personally, I prefer to separate myself from either term. I don't really like society's tendency to pigeonhole people...

 

[ray_MAN]

Some of you should check out my AIM profile. It's really geeky. :dork:

where's geeky in "maguamba99"? I mean WTF is that?

 

[lePobz]

Some people are born geeks with high IQs and a natural mathematical ability (and look like geeks), and naturally want to get their hands on computers from an early age.

Some people were born completely normal (low IQ, crap at maths), but with geeky brothers... and took the oppertunity to play around with his computer (ZX Spectrum +2 128k) from a very early age.

Anyway long story short, I was made a geek. I'm not a pureblood.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

You are called SWAT if you are intelligent in the UK

 

[lePobz]

I think that's 'SWOT' ...

My girlfriend says I'm a geek. She loves me for my braind and my niceness. I'm really into computers... and that's all I'm into so I guess I'm a geek. I don't look like one. I work out and I'm tanned

Any girl who tells you they love you for your "niceness," is either a liar or a retard. Sorry, I'm sure she's a great girl, but for both your sakes you need to tell her to cut the crap. Since you workout, she probably loves you for your toned bronzed abs more than your "niceness."

 

[DarkStar]

And yes, I laughed profusely at the 486 joke at the e3 presentation. Doesn't bother me a damn bit

What does it mean if you got the joke, but thought it was lame and unfunny? Because thats the boat I'm in.

:naughty: Same here. I'm the type of guy, who'd you see playing too much video games at home(on computer all day) and the type of guy that has to upgrade to new stuff as soon as he gets the chance. But, I don't act/look, not smart as, and not potrayed as one... not even close! Why are people who love computers potrayed as geeks or nerds!?!? GRRR :hmph: . It's not really different from cars and a car fanatic.

 

[Sparta]

Im not in the tech side of the computers, i do design and 3d stuff on it, as well as play games and visit this forum, but im more into music then i am into games. I dropped maths but i still do IT. also i don't own any comics but i love comic book art, its awesome. I dont think im a geek

 

[jabberwock95]

Yep, im a geek. I enjoy science, discussions about technology, computers and *sigh* sci-fi shows.

Nothing wrong with being a geek.

THE GEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH - slogan of geeks everywhere

 

[ComradeBadger]

I thought that joke was cringworthy. Plus it's 4 8 6 not 4 eighty 6. Stupid 'wisecracking' journalists...

 

[jabberwock95]

That joke gave me momentary hope for my old computer... but then they laughed.

The spreadsheet did run so well...

 

[lePobz]

They can laugh all they like. I nearly got Half-Life running on my 'four eighty-six'. Nearly. Just couldn't seem to install it on the 20mb HDD. Maybe it needs another 8mb ram. *thinks*

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

GTA used to crash my fourty-eight six.

 

[Kylebn]

i hate computers, just that i am a half-life 2 enthusast,
shows like e3 and others stuff like internet cafees are for geek, computers are boring as, and cuz me only pain to run

generalizations are usually negative and when one thinks of themself in a stereotype, it's usually demoralizing. just be yourself and think for yourself.

I try to do that but fail, when I realise that I spend 2/3 of my day on the computer. :rolling:

What, are you jealous?

You got togetther and then started working out afterward? Wow, it's always the other way around for me. I keep in shape until I find a lady-friend and then usually let myself go. Lol, guess that's why I'm usually single - they get to know the real me. They thought they were getting the chilvalrous, handsome young man but instead they get the fat, lazy, prick.

And yes, I am jealous by the way...lol.
