Are you a unique geek?

[TheIceface]

Now I know geeks/nerds/gamers/trekkies/etc. have a lot of things in common. In fact there are general mainstream classifications that many people fit into.

I want to know in what area of geekdom you stand out away from the nerd herd.

Is there a specific type of music that people who play street fighter always listen to, but you disdain?

Do most people who play World Of Warcraft enjoy mountain dew, but you detest it?

What part of gaming culture do you not ascribe to that is generally attributed to the people who frequent the games you play.

Perhaps you're a Halo-Xbox player, but you have a professional quality mic and a deep voice that you use to burst into opera that rivals the works of Pavarotti.

Or maybe its something small, like you play Counterstrike, but never say "boom headshot!" or use an AWP.

I am a nerd that is an avid public speaker, which is apparently pretty rare amongst my other nerd friends.

 

[Puppeteer Putin]

I'm a nerd that enjoys reading gaming related business news and analysis. Is that weird?

 

[Art Axiv]

I'm a nerd with a double masters degree, and I play mmorpg grinding games.
Probably saying I have a girlfriend would make fun of the stereotypes.

 

[dead_beat_slacker]

I'm a diabetic nerd who drinks coke zero while playing fall out 3 and loves Zombies and also a musician.

 

[Avenant]

I like to think so... well. I study computer science, draw/paint (for fun), and enjoy games. How am I different...hm....well, I dislike internet "memes" and internet culture in general, I do martial arts and get a lot of exercise, and most of my friends aren't geeks at all.

I'm rather proud of this... not because I think I'm great or anything, but I think it's good not to fit into any one stereotype. I think it's best to just be you, geek or no, regardless of what's cool, regardless of what anyone might think.

ha funny I?m a great public speaker too, well I wouldn?t call myself unique as a nerd, like I play computer games, I own one or more video gaming consoles you get the point. I?m more unique as just a casual person to the average teen male. To my friends my music, fashion sense and speech are rather strange. I love indie/alterative music, I don?t wear hoodies or fluro tops like everyone else and I don?t talk like a uneducated street rat.

also i dont really hang around any geeks, you cant start a chat about the new xbox live exprience to any of my friends with out them asking what "that is" 30 times. i think that 4 chan is just a bunch a "adult but little children" nerds that have way too much time on there hands

 

[Jandau]

I'm a nerd with no nerd friends and was forced to adapt and hide my nerddom bellow a thick layer of faked social skills

 

[Damolition]

Totally generic.

 

[Zig13]

My gaming PC dosn't have the internet, is about five years old and up until recently didn't have a graphics card and only had 128mb of RAM. My only consoles are a PSOne and a Game Boy colour. I do not know any scripting languages (not even basic HTML). And a load of stuff I couldn't think of (cop-out )

 

[Maka112]

Im really a gamer not a nerd but people do call me a nerd which i cant really understand since i dont fit the stereotype of a nerd. also most of my mates are not gamers so I tend to be a outsider when around my high school mates.

 

[goin-mad]

I am a gamer yes, but I am also a writer and game developer. I am an avid raver, aspiring Burner (look it up), and a big enthusiast of sandlot football. I hate energy drinks and love beer.

Um... I wear hoodies all the time. In fact my coat is two zip-up hoodies stacked on top of each other. And my friends call me weird for that.

 

[J-Man]

I wear a scarf when I play, and adamantly refuse to use text-speak.

 

[rossatdi]

I am a aspiring Burner (look it up).

Isn't that slang for someone with venereal disease?

I wear a zip-up hoody and no one calls me weird for it.

I hate energy drinks and love beer.

I love energy drinks and beer (and most alcholic drinks) I tend to mix the two, with very good results.

I don't usually mix the two, but I am one of the only nerds I know that is a heavy drinker. Most of the nerds I hang out with either don't touch liquor or can't hold it well, whereas I can take 14 shots of whiskey in half an hour and still be coherent.

 

[runtheplacered]

I kissed a girl once. It was awesome. Then she told me to go to bed because I had school the next morning. I love my mom.
