[Darth Avlectus]

A barrel roll? Sounds like something I wanna do.

[Mandalorian Knight]

Hello everyone!

I'm going to go ahead and say, I've looked around this forum for awhile now, but I only recently started playing Kotor again. Some things seem to never get old.

My name is Aaron. I am 18 years old and I'm a sophomore in college. My favorite games right now are probably Halo: Reach, Kotor II with DStoney's restored content mod, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect 2. I'm eagerly anticipating Mass Effect 3. I live in South Carolina, and will be transferring to Clemson University next year to get an Army ROTC scholarship.

@Liverandbacon: I love the Spartacus reference

[Sabretooth]

*waves*

Funny that this game is now 2 years short of a decade old and this forum still isn't dead. Must say something about the fanbase the game spawned...

[Primogen]

Yeah.

Neeeeeeeeeeerds.

[.:Lord Revan:.]

Hello, and like GTA you will turn into a geek.



And me.

[JoFlashStudios]

Primogen - you're right. I would guess that the majority of the fan base are nerds. Who else would stay interested in the game after a play through or two? KotOR is a good game, a great game even - but it's not that good. However, when combined with the ability to script the game to do virtually anything, it goes from being a great game to a phenomenal game. Scripting in NWscript, or any modding for that matter, doesn't come naturally to non-nerds.

That said, about me:

I'm a nerd.
I work as a software developer for American National Insurance.
Some of my interests are Blender, web design, and ice cream.

I prefer being a Geeky Mom. Welcome to the forums, new peeps!

[JoFlashStudios]

The definition of words sometimes being relative to the speaker, may I inquire as to the differentiation between a nerd and a geek?

[Lynk Former]

Here's a really simplified answer...

Geeks usually delve into pop culture such as sci-fi, anime, fantasy, etc. Nerds are people who have a lot of book-smarts who get really into whatever field they're interested in. For example, my sister is an English nerd, but the more "famous" variants are into Mathematics and Science.

The two groups usually overlap... but you can get Geeks like myself who don't have much in the way of book-smarts and Nerds who don't like pop culture.

That's usually how I do things.

[JoFlashStudios]

Nice definitions Lynk Former. One more question; is it geeks, nerds, or both who automatically have poor social skills?

@Jai'galaar Bralor, 'fraid not.

@Sabretooth; different type of Blender, but that type goes better with ice cream I suppose. It did give me the interesting vision of attempting to get ice cream through my screen into a piece of software.

I've known People who've never read a book or seen Star Wars, who couldn't hold a conversation with a stranger, and I've known Comic collectors and MMO players with the prowess of Wilt Chamberlain...

*takes swing from trophy cup*

What about us dorky guys/gals. I think your all forgetting about us, you know.

You obviously like Star Wars and vidya to be here... *points* GEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!



@ JoFlashStudios: Depends on your definition of social skills lol. "Geeks", "Nerds" and everyone else can be social but not seem like it and then there are just folks who are completely anti-social. There's no real connection other than the perception non-geeks and non-nerds have of them.

I mean, a good example is social networking and the way people view computers... back in the 90s anything to do with computers were the apparent domain of geeks and nerds and anyone who was "cool" (back in school lol) didn't use computers.

Nowadays it's cool to use computers and get online and all that and while people call it the whole "web 2.0" revolution, it really isn't because it's just a popularisation of concepts that existed before they become big in the 21st century.


So, without us geeks and nerds, we wouldn't have airhead girls posting naked pictures of themselves on the internet taken with their iphone which they don't realise can track the location that picture was taken.



...*looks around* what?

Well, yes. That's entirely possible. I've had that game on my mind recently...

@Lynk Former, yes I suppose that when stereotypes are abandoned and reality is evaluated, social skills (or a lack thereof) are more or less evenly distributed across the population. But stereotypes are so much more fun, don't you think?

@ new JoFlash

Will it blend?

[Mandalore5]

My name is classified, so just call me Jamozk Ekhiss if you can't call me Mandalore.
I'm a scripter for both KotORs, currently hired for a restoration of K1. Don't worry, my services are free of charge.
By the way, the name comes from a sci-fi strategy game called Imperial Galaxy. You can't join right now because the website is broken, but if you PM me I'll tell you when you can. Then I'll give you some instructions to help you start.
I like bands such as Green Day, The White Stripes and The Libertines (and related bands); but I also like things like Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan.

[Darth Avlectus]

Ah, another mando. Nice to mee you, Jamozk.

Here in Jae's loony bin we have all manner of oddities who roam this forum. They come in 3 fabulous flavors, regular cool ranch and road kill.

Nope, everyone here is about 12, and far more Eloquent than me and I'm 30.

Welcome

[Trench]

Welcome to the seat of insanity. Don't worry about the eloquence. We'll beat that out of 'ya.

Nonsense. 12-year-olds aren't allowed on the internet!

[Snard]

Meh, I've been here but ive never actually posted on any of these types of threads.

This forum is full of perverts, weirdos, and people you just plain ol' dont like.

We've got pointless threads, people who are too lazy to find answers themselves, and the occasional true n00bs.

Enjoy your stay.
