~Lechensko:iconLechensko: reports, August 26

Community Projects: July 13th - Embrace Your Geek

^PurpelBlur:iconPurpelBlur: reports, July 13, 2009
Ah the glorious Geek!

For those of you needing the 411, a geek is one who tends to be of great intelligence and has an uncanny technological orientation. Typically a geek can be found watching Star Wars or playing some game such as Dungeons & Dragons or World of Warcraft.

:nerd: Let us not confuse the greatness of a geek with that of nerd whom lacks technological know-how. A geek is dedicated to his or her computer. A geek without a computer is like a Jedi that can't use the Force. :jedi:

:yoda:

There are various types of geek: Math, Work, Exercise, Television, Food, etc. Whatever type of geek you may be hold your head high and destroy your pixelated foes with great vigor!

Also much praise to the devious geeks that keep deviantART spinning!!! :devart:

If you have a Literature or Visual art piece dedicated to the Geekness you can submit these to Community Projects > Holidays > 2009 > Embrace Your Geekness Day






[Proper Title: Community Projects: July 13th - Embrace your Geekness Day]

Hurray for geeks!!!
I'm usually a geek concerning knowing random details about vidéo game universes...Or of my favourite movies.

Like I know a bunch of small stuff concerning Star wars :XD: Just small detils that i keep reading on wookiepedia or whatever...

Anyway, Geeks FTW!

You are the only person I've ever seen who defines the difference between geek and nerd this way. I usually see the difference being scope. Geeks are very focused, whereas nerds are less focused and have a broader interest.

So, would I just re categorize current pieces if they are quite geeky, or submit new pieces for this?

I'm curious because I have a few D&D pieces and a starwars character I'd love to put in there. :D
