Geeks ove technology, but can live without it. Nerds cant.

Geeks get excited flashy gadgets. Nerds get excited by XML.

Geeks have a social life. Nerds have MMORPGs

Geeks have girlfriends. Nerds have a seperate hard drive devoted to porn.

There IS a difference.

I think MMORPG is becoming more of a geek thing now, seeing as its really the only bold and new online game thats worth playing these days, RPG/FPS is so early 2000

What the hell is a 'Zalman Fatal1ty Flower'? It sounds like some kind of throwing star.

Also, I'd be happy to make you a sig, heres some of my work.

I would call myself a geek. It just annouys me, if computers had been round for 100 years and cars were a new thing, car mechanics would be called geeks/nerds.

Well I dunno which I am.

I go to Uni, go out drinking a lot, have a lot of friends, play WoW (I'm addicted).

I guess that's kinda geekish? :\

Time for a sig change methinks...

Everyone has a bit of a geek in them. I'm a skydiving geek for example. Feek is a gun geek etc...
