I play Magic the Gathering.

I play RuneScape.

I play Dungeons & Dragons (and other similar tabletop RPGs).

I fall in love with deep, thick literature.

I have a passion for high fantasy.

(This isn't really all that nerdy, but I play cello, piano, and banjo as well).

How about you?

I play video games!

That's about as nerdy as I get though, unless you think playing the violin is nerdy.

I play a lot of pc games. But other than that I'm not real a geek or nerd. I'm normal I'd say.

Well seeing what you guys write makes me change the my understanding of the word nerd/geek. I design stuff, do 3D modeling, scripts for games, mods for games, I watched the space season a LOT of times on discovery science (my fav channel actually because of space, time etc. documentaries) and I enjoy reading. I do have a normal social life, go to parties etc. and have a lot of friends.

I'll go in order across a few events in my life...

In high school I joined the Math Team and won a local competition, became the captain of a robotics team and won a regional championship, was called to the principle's office in the middle of class not because I was in trouble but because he wanted me to work on his computer, and graduated high school well enough to obtain a full ride through college. Since I have become a unique sort of geek.

As two examples, my library consists not of novels but of commentaries, theology books, hermeneutics books, apologetics books, etc. In fact, most of my works of fiction are several hundred years old in the least. The other example of my unique form of geekity is what I spent my night doing last night. Was I out on the town? No. Did I be a responsible adult and go to bed early? Nope. I stayed up late into the night translating the Koine Greek text of the Bible into English.

Magic the Gathering Pokemon Cards Dungeons and Dragons Comic Books Know the statistics of Pokemon better than I know the geography of my own country Socially awkward to the point of where I once asked a female co-worker I don't have much of a history with for girl advice. I also scream like a girl (and sometimes laugh like an evil villain) when I pull a mythic rare in Magic. I pulled Jace during a booster tournament and the whole room heard me.

I would say so. Huge metalhead (all of us are really nerds at heart, though some don't admit it), love reading sci-fi, fantasy, philosophical, nonfiction etc, I play Magic the Gathering, interested in the study of film. The list goes on. :)

I play videogames, can do a few tricks in C++ and can build a PC if given all the parts. What does that make me? If it makes me a nerd, then I'm pretty proud of myself. :D

I don't consider myself one, not sure if other people agree with me on that, though... Video games =/= nerd/geek.

However, anyone who has ever posted on Gamespot is a dork.
