BIIIG nerd here! I am 43, and an avid gamer... not XBox, but board games... not Monopoly, but Firefly, Spartacus, Gloom, Eclipse, Manhattan Project, and bunch more! I have a game shelf that rivals a school library.. maybe a Chicago Public School, in Detriot, but still... That's a lot of games.

I play an 8th level halfling ranger who rides a wolf taller than me in Pathfinder.

I LARP.

I just finished up filming a movie called 'Rise of the Valkyrie'... where a professional FX artist (from Syfy, even) ripped my stomach open.

I build boomboxes out of old briefcases and thrift store speakers.

Any other nerds/dorks/geeks out there? Rise up, be proud!

I play Magic The Gathering on a competetive level, I beta tested Everquest and rode that train for FAR too many years and I have plans to open my own game store. Yep, i am a dork/geek/nerd. LOVE IT!

Man I went to pull out all my Magic cards from middle school (I just turned 30) and my buddy told me that they aren't any good now. Said they change the rules for tournaments to only include decks from the past 2 years or so. That way they keep selling cards. I was so bummed.

Mmmm you rang? ;)

Nerd on my mother's side, geek on my father's; I'm known for my mad research skillz, :p have adventured in D&D (prefer TSR to WotC) Champions and MechWarrior, still play Pathfinder, first programmed on a TRaSh 80 and a cassette drive, read The Hobbit and LOTR at 12, still own all of the Piers Anthony Incantations of Immortality and David Eddings Malloreon series, and have Frankensteined every computer in the house short of my laptop. :D

I used to be a gamer. Started out with D&D back in 72 I believe. Later I also got involved with Traveler and GURPS. Was involved in simulation games even earlier. Got started by something in my world study's class called inter nation simulation. Played many board games such as Air force/Dauntless, Wooden ships, iron men, Stellar conquest, Squad leader, Car wars and others. Got out when it was taken over by collectable card games and computers. Though from time to time I would play 4X games.

These days I dabble in electronics, embedded processors, and vaping

NERDS! ASSEMBLE!

I'm 21 and a bit of a computer nerd. I work in IT, I love finding out how computers work, what certain things do, how they work etc.

I'm an MCP and soon to be an MOS too. Nothing more satisfying than studying towards my next qualification in order to advance my career while having a vape ;)
