What made you become a nerd?
After browsing another forum for a bit, I came upon a discussion that interested me. What "turned" or made you become into a nerd?
For me, it was Star Wars. I became so fascinated with the story, the concept, the characters, and the kick ass space battles, that I spend a majority of my younger years learning about it. And then I began looking at other sci-fi works, and bam. Nerd I became.
So, what did it for you?

I'm not a nerd. I'm a gamer.
I play video games, not chess.
I wear T-shirts with the Cubs logo on them, not sweater vests.
And most importantly, I play football, not tennis.

Upbringing.
I was exposed to a lot of classic Sci-fi and nerdy things as a child, so I grew a vested interest in them.

Re: What made you become a nerd?
Halo would've been the start of it I guess. When I got it with my first Xbox. That Xbox lasted me five years before I got the 360. And I've gone through three of them... Fucking faulty pieces of shit. Joining HWF also contributed a bit. And got me addicted to forums... And writing.

Not really a nerd, just a normal gamer. And it was stumbling across HWF in 07 that made me active on the internet.

Personality defect. I am naturally a very crazy person, and so it only made sense that I would not be accepted in many social situations, hence my exile to teh Interwebz.

I'm crazy, played videogames a lot ever since I was 5 (ut and age if empires were my first), and joined hwf, which also got me addicted to forums.

Personality and love of stories. Bound to happen eventually.
It probably did happen around pokemon times - even if it was cool to be a pokenerd back then.

Re: What made you become a nerd?
I've played/watched my dad play video games for as long as I can remember, apparently my entire life. From the beginning I spent equal time playing PC and console, and this continued for the rest of my years. I never really had a like for sports, and after trying a good number of them I gave up and eventually stopped playing outside much. Ever since I had discovered Halo I loved it, and one day I chanced upon First Strike...
Eventually I saw the Halo Wars trailer, which was a dream come true for me since strategy was my favorite genre and Halo was my favorite series. I checked their website for information, and began lurking on HWF.

I think it all started when I first play an NES. Then, I got my first GameBoy. You know, the brick?
Then I got a SNES and it all just got better from there. Thanks Nintendo!

Re: What made you become a nerd?
a geek is a social outcast... a Nerd can fit in socially but has geeky hobbys
I consider myself a Nerd... as I do sports and CAN talk to people and when I do... I interact well
I just have severe social anxiety which makes it hard for me to meet new people

Re: What made you become a nerd?
One word.. Warcraft. Since the very first game I've been into the series, read the books, played the games and so on. Blizzard was the start of it, then Play station to PS2 to Xbox 360, and PS3. I've been into RTS gaming for as long as I can remember and then moved on to FPS when Halo CE came out. Thats pretty much what did it for me.

Yeah.... same :/
Anyway, I don't know when I'd say I became a nerd. I mean, I remember sitting at the computer on my sister's lap to play Riven when I was 5 years old, and I remember getting my Playstation when I was 6 (after playing Spyro at a grocery store daycare center called Pepe's playhouse,) and I suppose you could say that my obsession with "A Bug's Life" as a small child made me somewhat of a nerd, but I didn't REALLY become hugely nerdy until 6th grade, when the 360 had just come out and the PS3 was still a long way away. I became a giant Sony fanboy.
