This is the question i have often asked myself... do i actually QUALIFY as a geek? Sure I'm a gamer, I play waaay too much World of Warcraft (and RP aswell for added geek points) I'm something of a computer nerd. I make Machinima and animations and pot them on Youtube (you want the address please memo, don't wanna be accused of shameless plugging lol)
I'm also a big fan of Doctor Who, and used to be hugely into all of the Star trek series. but is that enough to qualify as a geek? or am i just a buff? or maybe someone who has a passing interest?
Dunno, you guy tell me?

Well it makes you a geek, as much as I love tinkering around with operating systems and getting the most performance out of them. Then being a fan of Doctor Who and Family Guy and American Dad. A love of zombie and vampire movies,reading books that are not mainstream,eg I reading The Drug and Other Stories by Aleister Crowley and watching Click. Playing guitar synthesisers and doing a freaky sword balancing act and creating weird desert like drawings. Now that makes me geeky. http://empressm7.uboot.com/ http://www.socialkink.com/empressmartine Vampire, pro/lifestyle ts dom/switch.Ageplay mummy/aunty/AB,medical play,domestic,energy, outdoor specialist."Awsome!

Says I'm a major geek. As proud owner of a ring modulator I expected more. International man of mystery | |

I think the door's closed on that one. In the old days, the definition of a "hacker" was someone who could boot a computer by entering instructions via the toggle switches on the front panel. (In my case, I also designed and built the computer to which the switches were attached, and wrote the Lisp-based operating system it ran  ). Now there's only one button to choose from, you can't apply that test any more....
Of course in those days, it was one of those modern irregular verbs: I'm a hacker, you're a geek, he's a nerd; so "geek" wasn't really anything you'd actually want to be called. I'm pretty sure, though, that if you're merely a consumer of modern technology, then you can't be any of those things. Sorry | |

Dammit, only a couple more points and I'd be extreme, I rank only as 'Super Geek' with 54%. Now, my geekynes dictates I must go brush up on the laws of robotics and C++ so I can check their boxes...

So where in the continuum are nerds, anoraks and otakus ? Is geekiness confined to computer saddos ? Be kind to your web-footed friend, for a duck may be somebody's brother. | |

I define 'geek' as someone who is interested in something beyond a casual level. They obsess, they collect. Typical geekery is usually pop culture, technology or gaming, but you can find all sorts of geeks. There's a fair few BDSM geeks lurking about.

Otakus are Japanese. Anoraks are nerds of the outdoors. Nerds are just geeks. Arguing semantics with slang terms is just asinine. For the record though, the term geek refers to sideshow acts in the US. Biting the heads off chickens. That's what it refers to originally. So if you absolutely, positively, want to be sure you're a geek, go do that. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.
