Poll: Dork, Geek, or Nerd?

[santaandy]

I was just wondering which oddball faction the Escapists primarily identify themselves with. I paraphrased the definitions from the Wiki. For the record:

-A dork is a socially inept person, often out of touch with (not disliking) contemporary trends. This is regardless of intelligence or intellect.
-A geek is overly obsessed with things, including technology, gaming, and other intellectual topics.
-A nerd is someone who passionately pursues obscure or intellectual hobbies outside the social or popular activities standard to their age group.

So, what are you?

I see myself mostly as a geek, but could be seen as a nerd depending on what groups I am around. Many of the nerdy things of the past are becoming more mainstream today.

I'm not any. I just like playing games. also this exact thread has been done to death and will be locked shortly. learn to use the search tool.

 

[rottenbutter]

Indeed, this thread has been done before (at least twice I think).

On topic: I am definitely a geek, no question about it.

I love:
Video Games
Anime
Biting the heads off of chickens
The Internet
and nearly all thing geeky.

 

[SnowCold]

Geek power!

I think of myself as a geek, although I'm not too into the technology thing, and there's so little difference between the geek and the nerd anyway so I figure they're pretty much interchangeable. Why would anyone admit to being a dork anyway?

If i had to choose, i'd say i'm a geek, seeing as i'm in love with retro gaming, so far i havent got much to show for it though, only a t-shirt and a Megaman drawing up on the wall, but once i get a job and i get money rolling in im gonna go visit a female friend of mine and start getting tattoos, so far i have 3 tattoos planned:

Hyrule Emblem on my back
Megaman (8 bit version) on my right upper arm
Super Mario in a Tanooki suit on my left upper arm

These are the ones i have planned but there will no doubt be more of them seeing as im certain i will always love retro gaming, im 19 now, been gaming since the age of 4, so i figured, if i passionately love something for 15 years, why not make them a part of my using tattoos

I'm a geek for music and games, but I'm hardly a geek personality-wise. The only anime I watch is Naruto and that's just because I think Sakura is awesome. I go out drinking with friends, a large amount of which are female.
You could say I'm a closet geek but I don't really hide it. I dunno.

 

[Projekt Spartan]

Im not really part of any of these as far as im considered. I like to think im pretty well rounded. I like games, but not to a crazy extreme, i have a good social life, and my hobbies are pretty normal (mostly hockey).

 

[xitel]

I think I'm a geek and a nerd, in that I am into things that are outside the social norm, but I also like technology and the like. I usually call myself a nerd though, because, let's face it, nerd just SOUNDS better than geek. Geek sounds so harsh when you say it, but nerd is soft and soothing. Try it. Say them both out loud, and tell me which sound you like better.

Games

Music
Comics
D&D
Action figures
Internet

also i wear glasses so that's a plus 3 in nerd-diness, no?

 

[Ophiuchus]

I'm pretty much the dork, though slightly less socially inept than that implies, and with dashes of Guitar Hero geekery. I'm quite content with this.

 

[Ranooth]

Geek and proud!

 

[superbleeder12]

A little bit of everything I guess.

But if I had to choose one, I would obviously be a geek, seeing as I work on the Geek Squad and all...

 

[milomalo]

Geek and proud!

lets make a club or something XD ohhh never mind... the wow community already exist... ohhh snap!!! XD

disclaimer: this means no offense of any kind to any particular group, im just making fun of my self...

 

[curlycrouton]

According to those definitions I am both a geek and a nerd.

'Appy days.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

Pimp.





Probably nerd, but I'm not actually that smart.

 

[Xvito]

If you want my opinion we shouldn't divide people into groups...

 

[tomdavi]

I took a test on this once and came out nerd, so there ya go. Time to get back to doing fractal equations and disproving string theory whilst reading Sherlock Holmes. Aha.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

I'm a nerd. Glasses, pimples, tall, skinny, high IQ...basically, a walking stereotype.

Geek and proud!
