FabSwingers.com forum: Geeks, Nerds, and Dorks.

Everyone is a little geeky about something. A passion that they may obsess a little too much about. Be it music, film, comics, toys, games...

So lets share what we’re particularly dorky about and hopefully make new friends.

Personally, I adore Scifi/Horror movies, love my Alternative music, and love games. I’m also partial to the odd book and comic. I’m quite the geek it seems.

“ When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

C.S. Lewis

J, I’m a mega geek.

In so many ways.

I hide it well.

I’m lucky that I’ve made it work for me, to a very high level.

Ha! Cheers. This was a fair while ago. Since decided to move into a equally geeky and nightmarish business.

Mostly fantasy for me although I'm about halfway through " Remembrance of Earth's Past" by Liu Cixin and enjoying that.

Always loved a good (epic) RPG, too, although I rarely have enough time for them anymore.

Most people are nerdy about something. Football fans with their encyclopaedic knowledge of team wins and losses and player records. Music fans who can tell you which label released an obscure album in 1973. Gardeners who can tell the health of a plant at a glance. It’s glorious.

For my part, I’m a reader, a comics fan, an SF and fantasy enthusiast, a history buff, a cook/baker, a tabletop gamer and a console gamer. I believe in having a broad range of interests. :D

I'm a railway enthusiast.

What category do I come under ?

As a kid I had a model train set I played with.

Now as an adult I don't play with train sets.

I play with real trains instead.

I'm an odd one. I have too many interests to be able to get properly obsessive about any of them. So I end up with more knowledge than the average person with no special interest in the subject, but lacking the depth of the true nerd.
