Well.. it's just a stereotype. As with most cases, though, a stereotype generally comes from a large statistic being present.

No offense to any PC gamers (I'm going to get flamed, I know it **grabs flame shield**), but I think that PC gamers are the biggest nerds. They have to go out and buy graphics cards and get high speed processors and flux capacitors and whatnot just to play the most awesome games on their beloved PC. Oh! And they have to buy the games and download them to their computer! **thinks of Freshman Comp teacher** (He plays WoW... a lot. He's a level 27 Night Elf I think :?)

And console gamers don't need to go out and buy a wireless adapter, or a HDTV or sound system? PC gamers can get by with just as much technology as a console gamer can, and in the cases of some PC games, older technology and games than most current consoles support. This is a generalization on par with that of the TC's.

The HDTV actually is entirely optional in most cases. The wireless adapter, I'd say no. If a PC gamer plays games that are old as dirt, than maybe they could get away with playing a game with as much technology as a console gamer.

PC Gamers have to buy a computer, possibly a better graphics card, possibly a better processor, they may need a bigger screen, they may have to buy a headset, they may have to buy a better hard drive, and they have to buy the game. Console gamers have to buy the console, the games, and (if they absolutely need it) a headset (SOCOM FTW!!). On top of that, they may have to buy a router to play online (and if they have a 360 or Xbox they'd have to buy the service). A majority of the time, PC gamers have to spend way more money to play the games they desire so greatly.

If PC Gamers are Nerds, Xbox owners are idiot 12-year-old punks :|Indestructible2

How is that relevent to what I said, exactly? I said that PC gamers are the biggest nerds. Console gamers are still nerds (even if they are gangsta). No one spends over $100 to get enjoyment from something they'll replace entirely with in 5-10 years and not be called a nerd. NO ONE! :x

I did. You basically said that because PC gamers spend more money on their hobby they are more nerdy. I just don't see how money spent has anything to do with nerdyness.

PC gamers need to buy a computer and games to play on it. Console gamers need to buy a console and games to play on it. Everything you mention is completely optional just like you said the HDTV was. You don't need a custom built PC to play PC games, that is why there are companies like Dell and HP who make pre-built computer fully capable of running all the latest games.

Please don't start the whole PC gaming misconception argument, I'm not in the state of mind nor are we in the right place to discuss it. Your generalizations about PC gaming are as broad as the TC's about gamers being nerds.

And just so you know, on average, with the "new" consoles, console gamers end up spending more money on average than PC gamers over the life of their systems

I think I have only been called a nerd once, and that was playful banter.. That being said gaming is huge especially amongst guys.. Seriouslly 8 out of 10 guys where I live play some sort of console or computer game daily or once in a while.

[QUOTE="gobo212"][QUOTE="scorch-62"][QUOTE="foxhound_fox"][QUOTE="scorch-62"]No offense to any PC gamers (I'm going to get flamed, I know it **grabs flame shield**), but I think that PC gamers are the biggest nerds. They have to go out and buy graphics cards and get high speed processors and flux capacitors and whatnot just to play the most awesome games on their beloved PC. Oh! And they have to buy the games and download them to their computer! **thinks of Freshman Comp teacher** (He plays WoW... a lot. He's a level 27 Night Elf I think :?)scorch-62

And console gamers don't need to go out and buy a wireless adapter, or a HDTV or sound system? PC gamers can get by with just as much technology as a console gamer can, and in the cases of some PC games, older technology and games than most current consoles support. This is a generalization on par with that of the TC's.

The HDTV actually is entirely optional in most cases. The wireless adapter, I'd say no. If a PC gamer plays games that are old as dirt, than maybe they could get away with playing a game with as much technology as a console gamer.

PC Gamers have to buy a computer, possibly a better graphics card, possibly a better processor, they may need a bigger screen, they may have to buy a headset, they may have to buy a better hard drive, and they have to buy the game. Console gamers have to buy the console, the games, and (if they absolutely need it) a headset (SOCOM FTW!!). On top of that, they may have to buy a router to play online (and if they have a 360 or Xbox they'd have to buy the service). A majority of the time, PC gamers have to spend way more money to play the games they desire so greatly.

If PC Gamers are Nerds, Xbox owners are idiot 12-year-old punks :|Indestructible2

How is that relevent to what I said, exactly? I said that PC gamers are the biggest nerds. Console gamers are still nerds (even if they are gangsta). No one spends over $100 to get enjoyment from something they'll replace entirely with in 5-10 years and not be called a nerd. NO ONE! :x

So because they spend more money, that makes them nerds?

Ignorance is bliss. READ!!

I did read, and your last bit makes no sense, 5-10 years? I guess every one must be a nerd because most replace their televisions with new ones in that time period, and they cost usually way more then $100.

PC gamers are nerds. Console gamers are not. Which frankly is rediculous; its OK to play six hours of Halo 3 but the second someone finds out I spend 10 hours a week on World of Warcraft I am an addict? Dubyuh Tee Eff, mate?!

And yes, I am a PC gamer and I dont care how jock or goth you look if you game on the PC you have a big nerd inside. Its ok, just embrace it. Stroke it. Tell it you love it and you want it to come out and play when you need to impress people. UNLEASH THE NERD!

I'm a gamer from time to time, but I don't spend my time glued to a screen or I use it as an icebreaker. I may be doing well at school, but that's because I'm hungry for high marks. I talk to girls, sometimes casually flirting around, and I'm a pretty cool guy too. The sad thing is, there are nerds that have worse social skills than me, and I have Asperger's.
