If you play this game...a game made available to children 6+, you lose all 'gansta' reputation. As if you had any to begin with. 'Gansta' or Gangster for those who believe the word is now dead, is something not given, but earned.
Not all PC gamers are consider geeks/nerds, as there are games out there that do no fit into the criteria of nerdy games, such as Madden, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. These games are not considered nerdy, and if you play them are exempt from the rule usually.
Geeks and Nerds are usually relative terms, used in many different situations. Sometimes, someone who is considered a 'Jock' might call anyone smarter than himself a geek/nerd, both being derogatory terms. A gamer may consider being a geek bad, and a nerd good, and vice versa. For the most part, Geeks/Nerds are usually people who are of a higher intellect than the norm, and have an affinity for anything that sets them away from said norms.
Read the above statement for the intellectual difference between the two.I don't see people begging for Assassins to come save them.
I don't see people spamming for BM or Archer buffs in Archosaur.
I don't see people asking to be revived by Barbs, Seekers, or Psychics.
You know what I do see?
'OMG I NEED A CLERIC!'
'Any clerics nearby that can buff me?'
'Can you rez me? I need a rez.'0 -

geek vs nerd:
from thefreedictionary.com
NERD: 1. A foolish, inept, or unattractive person.
2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
GEEK: 1.
a. A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
b. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
2. A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.
wow.. I think Geeks win :P0 -

My understanding of the word geek, is a geek is a person obsessed with a certain thing. As for nerd.. i don't see what it has to do with anything0

You have to waste at least 75% of your life doing stuff like playing video games, watch anime's, read way too much, etc, and prioritize those things above a normal social life before you're considered being a nerd or geek...O_o - Lost City wrote: »~If a real life gangsta plays this game for at least 1-2 hours 3 days a week.

If by "gangsta" you mean some idiot who think living in poor neighborhoods, playing with guns, and saying "yo momma" all the time is cool then he'll always be an idiotic "gangsta" until he finally grows up or grows some brains (same goes for little teenage tramps)... Playing a game won't cure that... You can however learn better behavior through games though... But no, being a casual gamer does not make you a geek or nerd...O_o - Lost City wrote: »~Are all PC gamers considered geeks/nerds?
Nope...O_o - Lost City wrote: »~What's the difference between the two?
Not much I guess... Ppl tend to call me both so... But then again they also tend to call me weirdo, creep, witch, demon, etc...O_o - Lost City wrote: »~Who's smarter? Geeks or nerds?

If you play this game u are not a nerd or a geek. Nerds and Geeks play mathmatical games and **** like that and they worry about quantum theories and all that. You are NOT a gangster cause if you were, you would be in prison and you wouldnt own a computer and you wouldnt know how to type, most dont even know how to write for that matter and they wouldnt care about a game and btw everyone plays some type of game if they dont then there lame and that makes them the nerk/geek. I laugh at anyone that thinks there a gangster i also beat the ever living **** out them too.Level 100 sage barbb:victory0

Here's another good one:
~Why would you even care?
It just depends on who you are, not the things you do or the games you play.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
