How nerdy are YOU?

[Prpl_Mage]

Just found this awesome RetroDuo Portable which is a handheld for nes and snes games, I just wish I still had those snes games to play.

Also, I believe that the fact that I sew a Bidoof and have it standing in my room might add some points towards nerdyness. Although non-nerds just thinks it's a cute beaver - yay me!

After talking about Mario, Metroid and other games with my co-worker during more than an hour... I guess it's safe to say that after all, I still am a nerd. Yay!

[SaiKar]

I'm an engineer, so I actually get paid to be a nerd. I also play TF2 and watch ponies.

Your move, guys. Checkmate, I sunk your battleship.

Bitch just ALT+F4'd my argument. CTRL+W'd my browser. F12'd my Counter-Strike?

Game designers, on the other hand, are the real nerds.

Not that we have any in here, or at least none who're actually designing real games.

But on the other hand, this *IS* an rpg maker forum. We're all game designer wannabes, as awful as that sounds. So hey, we're double nerds!

First of, game designer != nerd. The ones that comes closest to being actual nerds in terms of game development are the programmers.

Also, talk for yourself when saying "we're all game designer wannebes" or read for once when someone is talking about his life.

Also, liking:

Video games
Computers
Tabletop games
RPG Maker
Mario
Metroid
Ponies
Team Fortress 2
Counter-Strike
Music
Real role playing
Japan
Magick
Cartoons

Or whatever, does not make you a nerd. It's the way how you like it.

an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit: a computer nerd.

Which, in my opinion, is already an out-dated definition, since computers have become pretty social.

[Archem]

I disagree staunchly. But hey, I'm a nerd.

Nerd became out-dated the second it stopped being socially maligned.  Nerd became outdated the second people started saying "I like anime and Mario and Call of Duty wow I'm such a nerd xD xD xD" and became outright pointless the second people stopped being expected to answer that with "Quit being a ****ing idiot".

Actually, I'm a freelance flash developer.

I also have an interview on Thursday for a permanent job in the field

Most of the kids around here have this idea that anyone with glasses is a nerd.

That's exactly my point. I myself am a programmer with game design background, as well as 3D modelling and audio design.

[Moosetroop11]

Let's hope... I've been searching for ages...

Cute. I blame tv for that, the wuzzy kid seem to come with glasses every time.
Although kids tend to think you're either 40 or 80 when you're an adult and wearing glasses. Suppose they draw some connections to their own parents or grandparents glasses-wearing.


Also, go MT!

I've got a ton of artbooks. Like a ****ing ton. 30~ GB of stuff for my psp like apps and games. I occasionally play Magic. My friends and I just started playing with the new beyblades. We had a 4 way nerf war last weekend. I'm leaving a ton out.

Oh and Jonathan Joestar is punching Dio Brando like a boss on top of my shelf. So yeah, I'm surprised people talk to me.

[Archem]

The man.

Currently modelling Homestuck weapons for use in TF2, so basically I am so un-nerdy I'm like a jock who is the quarterback for the school's basketball team
