Are you a geek/nerd stereotype? 2010-01-11 07:32:43 Reply

Please understand I am not trying to attack newgrounds members. I am just very curious to how many people on this forum actually fit the stereotypical interpretation of an 'internet nerd' or 'geek'.

See how many of these you can relate to...
1) I'm overweight or underweight
2) I get excited over the release date of a video game
3) I've watched an entire series of star trek or every star wars movie
4) I have had a debate over which console is better
5) After a day at school, college or work I retreat to a computer almost first thing
6) I only hang with my own gender
7) I like/have shaggy hair
8) I have something Simpson, Futurama or Family Guy related in my room
9) I am a fan of the Halo series
10) I have considered what it would be like to be a video game or movie hero at least once in my life
11) I have acne
12) I wear glasses
13) I own a runescape account (even if you don't play it anymore)
14) I use words such as 'lol' and 'rofl' in real life
15) I consider a sleepover me and friends playing videogames all night
16) I have at least one piece of clothes which has a cartoon on it
17) I consider somebody getting 'owned' or 'pawned' from an insult over the internet
18) I have more friends online then in real life
19) The opposite sex never pays attention to me
20) Some of my daily discussion topics involve some of the above

11) I have acne

Used to when I was going through puberty.

12) I wear glasses

When I was 6-12 years old I wore glasses but not anymore.

13) I own a runescape account (even if you don't play it anymore)

I did when I was 12-16, but I wasn't addicted and I didn't play 24/7, just when I had free time.

14) I use words such as 'lol' and 'rofl' in real life

I think that would be pretty sad if I did that.

15) I consider a sleepover me and friends playing videogames all night

What else is there to do? Beer and video games= WIN!

16) I have at least one piece of clothes which has a cartoon on it

Not really, I just buy basic clothes.

17) I consider somebody getting 'owned' or 'pawned' from an insult over the internet

No.

18) I have more friends online then in real life

I have like 6 friends online, but in real life I around 10-20, so no.

19) The opposite sex never pays attention to me

I wouldn't say I'm a player or anything but I don't look bad either, more average in looks. Sometimes Girls like me, sometimes they don't.

20) Some of my daily discussion topics involve some of the above

Sometimes...

From a total mark, I'm 12/20 Nerd. Sort of halfish of a nerd maybe a little towards the nerd side.

1) I'm overweight or underweight

Yes.

2) I get excited over the release date of a video game

Not really.

3) I've watched an entire series of star trek or every star wars movie

None of those, I find them retarded, no offence.

4) I have had a debate over which console is better

No, at least not a serious one, I do tend to troll people with it in RL, since I know it grinds their gears.

5) After a day at school, college or work I retreat to a computer almost first thing

No actually, I watch tv for a couple of hours.

6) I only hang with my own gender

Yes, due to the lack of girls in my classes and such.

7) I like/have shaggy hair

What? Ummm.. No? My hair is semi-bald.

8) I have something Simpson, Futurama or Family Guy related in my room

NO!

9) I am a fan of the Halo series

I liked Halo 1....

10) I have considered what it would be like to be a video game or movie hero at least once in my life

Yes, with friends.

11) I have acne

Nope.

12) I wear glasses

Glasses are irrelevant to someone's nerdiness, but yes I do, although be it rarely.

13) I own a runescape account (even if you don't play it anymore)

Yes, I own one, but that's more than 5 years ago.
STOP JUDGING ME FOR IT!! PLEASE STOP!! I WAS YOUNG AND I DIDN'T CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES.

14) I use words such as 'lol' and 'rofl' in real life

Rarely, but "lol" should be excluded when it comes to me, since it's a Dutch word with a similar meaning.

15) I consider a sleepover me and friends playing videogames all night

No.

16) I have at least one piece of clothes which has a cartoon on it

Hell no!

17) I consider somebody getting 'owned' or 'pawned' from an insult over the internet

Umm... no?

18) I have more friends online then in real life

Nope.

19) The opposite sex never pays attention to me

Semi-true, never get beyond the fucking friend-zone, I suck at girls.

20) Some of my daily discussion topics involve some of the above

Way too broad to answer, but I talk about games if that's what you're asking.

Give me your mark out of twenty and try to be honest.

7/20. Not too bad, I suppose. But I found the criteria to be quite harsh and rather stereotypical, such as with the weight, glasses and hair.

Um I counted 4 that I relate too. There was one that was something about a "sleepover"? I don't call it sleepovers but I do have some buds over every once and awhile where we do play games most of the night.
