Poll: Games that when you played the words "You're an utter nerd" came into your head...

[Sewblon]

Nethack and Disgaea.

 

[Chrono180]

Playing video games don't make me nerdy, having a Magic the gathering collection with 1000+ rares does.

 

[teisjm]

M:TG and Warhammer.

While i've spend a lot of hours on various games, i've never spend the ammounts of money on any game that i've spend on the above two. Neither the many many hours trying to learn the rules.

You know your hobby is dorky when someone who's never played asks if youwanna play, and you tell them it's pretty complicated and know that they'll never like it enough to understand even the basic rules.

 

[Ardna Xela]

Everytime I play a JRPG. I spent WAY too much time playing those.

[Grayjack]

The first two Hamtaro games. Actually, they are more embarrassing then nerdy to play. I still like them though.

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

WoW, Dungeon Runners(That was a fun venture), God forbid but I have to say it: Runescape, Spyro, Land of the Dead, Fable, and a few others I probably repressed for self prestige.

Spyro is NOT nerdy!
It's more than a game, it's a childhood experience.

OT: Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup. xD
Also, I played Gaia for a while...

That, was the best game ever. Period.

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

I really can't look past WoW (especially when me and a friend talked about it...). I swear he was (back when he played it) the manual in living breathing form..

 

[C117]

That would be Bleach: Shattered Blade. It was the combination of worthless english voiceacting and wii-mote flailing that made me realize...

 

[targren]

Onechanbara on the 360.

Bikini-clad animated chicks chopping up hundreds of zombies per minute with ninja swords.

How the HELL did this take so long to get to the US? It's got tits, swords, guns, and zombies FFS. It's like a B-movie mixed with the laughter of a small child and Unicorn farts.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

When I was young I went through a Yu-Gi-Oh phase and had to but every card out there. Having out grown them for a few years now I was surprised to find a bag filled to the brim with them the other day when I was cleaning out my room. I was about to throw them out when I said "Maybe I should see if there are any good ones in here". So there I was for an hour, sorting through cards looking for the most powerful one.

This guy takes the cake for the nerdiest. Why can't we have one asian kids show that doesn't have anime?

 

[Kajt]

I can't really say that that has happened to me. Not even when playing games using DnD rules.

 

[Malevolent Stranger]

Try anything with the letters RPG in the description. Fable, Mass Effect, NwN, etc etc.

 

[ThisNewGuy]

[SomethingUnrelated]

Once played a table-top game. Heard those words, and made a break for it. After all, I have a reputation to protect! =P

Anyone who gets that, kudos...

 

[Lordmarkus]

When talking ethics and DNA with ZAX in Fallout 1.

 

[Flishiz]

I was reading the description of Eezo in Mass Effect and actually postulating that the imaginary matter would probably decrease gravity with a positive charge, and increase gravity with a negative charge, contrary to what the game said.

....:/.....

Must be subliminal thinking. I live a mile away from a supercollider.

 

[Lordmarkus]

WoW
Diablo 1 and 2
Every WRPG ever made
Every JRPG ever made
Every RTS ever made
Magic: The Gathering XBLA game

Even Company of Heroes and World in Conflict? Assuming you have played these pieces of pure mastery.

 

[Frankydee]

Been playing Crisis Core lately and that's pretty much hit the nerd spot.
That and every MMO I've tried.
And any re-released old game I've played for that matter.
