[LaW]Maverick September 30, 2008 Share [LaW]Maverick Member September 30, 2008 Ok, I still occasionally play LotRO, but I don't really play much of anything in the way of MMO's anymore. However, I have to say that Star Trek Online looks sweet!!! While I never got dressed up and went to conventions (or went to conventions at all for that matter), I was always a fan of the series and after reading a bit more on the game, it looks SWEET! Anyone else even remotely interested? http://www.startrekonline.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stutters September 30, 2008 Share stutters GC Alumni September 30, 2008 fwiw, this makes you an uber dork or uber nerd, but not an uber geek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler September 30, 2008 Share boiler Member September 30, 2008 fwiw, this makes you an uber dork or uber nerd, but not an uber geek. I think I'm with SJ on this one. Geeks and dorks/nerds are two separate categories. I think it's kind of like the rectangle/square geometry lesson thing: All nerds are geeks, but not all geeks are nerds.

dwEEziL September 30, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member September 30, 2008 You have it backwards. All geeks are nerds but not all nerds are geeks (Geeks are a subset of Nerds). I've always seen it as Geeks are Nerds that can actually survive socially outside of their comfort zone, say at a regular party or at a football game or such.

I've always seen it as Geeks are Nerds that can actually survive socially outside of their comfort zone, say at a regular party or at a football game or such. Can we get an official ruling on this? I am of the belief that Nerds are a subset of Geeks. I personally find the term "geek" less derogatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters September 30, 2008 Share stutters GC Alumni September 30, 2008 i think they're both subspecies. while you can have characteristics of both and both share characteristics of each other, you can only really be one or the other. in other words, you can be a geek with dork/nerd like traits, or dork with geek/nerd traits, but not all nerds are geeks, nor geeks nerds. thread closed.

Laz.e.rus September 30, 2008 Share Laz.e.rus Member September 30, 2008 Well, I dunno about no nerds/geeks/dork thing, or anything at all about the game or anything but:... the screenshots are pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa September 30, 2008 Share Playaa Member September 30, 2008 If geek, dork, nerd, dweeb, goober and all these other things are subspecies...what are they subspecies of? What is the master race!? WHERE IS THE MISSING LINK!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LaW]Maverick September 30, 2008 Author Share [LaW]Maverick Member September 30, 2008 well, at least Laz is SOMEWHAT interested in the game By the way, I'm a Geek/Nerd/Jock hybrid. I read constantly, but I played lacrosse and do Kung-Fu. I like Star Trek, but I love Star Wars. And yet I still laugh at people that can't figure out how to defrag their HDD. I'm a little bit of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little bit of everything. That's a cop out. Now that I think of it, I retract my previous comment and agree with boilersax. Nerds are a sub-set (lol, when did we change it to species?) of Geeks. I'm proudly a geek but am in no way a nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LaW]Maverick September 30, 2008 Author Share [LaW]Maverick Member September 30, 2008 Ah, but I am proudly a Geek AND a Nerd I don't care that people know that I sometimes sit down staring off into space thinking about quantum physics--but then I get pumped when I see a Lacrosse game on TV. I am who am I am, and that's all that I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the walkers u gotta worry bout but the cube's and sphere's they'll catch ya and ya got no where to go even if your enemy is walking that slow!
