When I was in High School, I was one of those 'cool guys' who always got in trouble - now I wish I would've been a nerd because that seems to be the direction I'm going (happily, I might add - nerds rule the world!).

What about yourself?

Anyone who responds to this is a nerd because he is thus posting on a video Game forum. Makaveli4life included.

Hell yes, I'm a nerd. Not the kind of nerd who plays Yu-Gi-Oh, or whatever the hell it's called. I'm not a Star Trek/Wars nerd, either. I'm a computer nerd. : )

Best nerd, ever.

I'd like to point out that being a nerd doesn't also mean you aren't cool.
You could call me a nerd. You could call me a metal head. You could call me a jock. You could call me a chick magnet.

But I'm definitely a nerd. I skipped school and waited for 6 hours to see Matrix Revolutions before anyone else.
I went with my Neo glasses, fully dressed in black.
And yes, someone set up an Xbox with Halo while in line.
They lugged around the TV and power supplies and xbox. Don't know what they did with it during the movie though.

Now thats nerdy, but its also badass.

Agreed. Anyone who posts here is basically a nerd.
But I like being a nerd, it makes me different. I don't wear inch thick glasses or can fix any computer glitch, but I have little social life, I play video games instead of sports, and I like old school science fiction. But that's who I am, and I like being myself.

Same here. I'm always banished to the geek table at lunch. But it's better than conforming to popularity to become their social puppet.

And just think, you'll end up much better than the popular ones. They'll be your slaves at work when you grow up. Trust me, I know.

I think so. I mean I like to do school (Everyone in the room gasps) and I love Star Wars. i've always liked star wars, I have lots of Star Wars games and all the movies (except episode 2 I didn't like it that much) I hate the matrix, star trek (except the oringenal movies with Kirk) superman, batman, and lots of other famous crap! The only superhero movie I like is Spiderman. I don't like pokemon or whatever the 'ell it is, and I like Yu-Gi-Oh. And I like computers too much I think.

I am a total Star Wars/comic book nerd. My room is littered with comic books and Star Wars crap everywhere...all around sci-fi geek - I've read scores and scores of sci-fi books.

Though I still consider myself a wannabe nerd because there is no end to the nerdiness I wish to acquire.

Very true. All the 'cool kids' will recieve a shock when they get out of high school and realize that everything changes.

I know I did. I got along with people I hated in HS and didn't get along with those that were my "friends" in HS.

Now thats freakin' sweet. Yeah, I consider myself to be a nerd but not a chess club/Star Trek/Yu-gi-oh/stuff like that nerd. But hell it doesn't matter anyways now does it because well hell i always got HALO/The Matrix/TV/My family/friends to keep me company.

I'm a computer nerd, but whenever jocks get on my case, well, they end up f***ed up.

I dunno. I too would have to go with half and half. I play LaX and feel pretty popular at school. I know a lot of people and a lot of people know me. But if I'm not playing LaX (which I most likely wont next year) I am playing HALO or searching the forums. So yeah...half and half!

I'm sort of a nerd but not really because I play games and whatnot but also go to the movies with friends and stuff like that often.Either way I'm a half half also but I'm a proud half half!
