the media is making it seem like it is a very nerdy thing to take part in. because of the media,the people believe it as well because the people that believe it dont have minds of their own and cant think for themselves. of course if you play the 360 ALL the time 24/7 its getting obsessive and w/e. if it IS considered being "nerdy" then consider me a nerd.

There is no way it is a "nerdy" thing to do, just like wathcing tv or movies gaming is another form of entertainment, and I bet whoever stated that 360 is nerdy has a wii sitting in their living room just like everyone else :P

At my school, all the jocks have 360s to play Halo and CoD4, while most of the "nerdy" kids play PC games :|.

haha same here...defintion by urban dictionary.....An 'individual', i.e. a person who does not conform to society's beliefs that all people should follow trends and do what their peers do. Often highly intelligent but socially rejected because of their obesssion with a given subject, usually computers. Unfortunately, nerds seem to have problems breeding, to the detriment of mankind as a whole.

no, consoles, esp. the 360 are way too popular and mainstream now to be considered nerdy, i think. if anything, computer gaming has become the center of nerdiness.

Yes, we are all big fat nerds for playing the 360. We should kneel down and beg forgiveness from the Gods of Cool.

I've actually read a couple articles (not sure what they were in, I was in a waiting room) talking about how gaming is becoming more and more mainstream. 5 years ago people may have called you nerdy for being a big gamer but now it's practically normal to be a gamer or someone who plays video games. I also don't really care what people think of me, if they want to think I'm a nerd then they can go right ahead and do that. I'll still enjoy video games for many years to come.

Two things vary whether your a 360 nerd or not

  1. The duration you play it, so if you play Xbox 360 over 4 hours a day then of course your nerdyThe way you take it seriosly.
  2. If you're worked up over someone who is new and doesn't know what they're doing, or get mad because you got owned, then you are defidently a nerd.
I am suprised enough that there are so many people in complete denial about being a 360 nerd. It's really quite sad.

A nerd is a stereotype phrase for those who are different for the norm. Usually placed on people in an unkind matter. For those who have a passion for gaming or working with computers ("geek"), are terms they sometimes have to endure. But gamers know that it takes a major degree of intelligence to play a game to its fullest. To me, it is amazing to watch them work their magic and outwit the developers at their own game.

Depends... Do 360 games affect your outlook in life? Do you base your tasks for the day around your video game schedule? Do you race home to plop on the couch to play 360 till the late hour of the night?

Or..

Do you just come home, play if ya got time, some nights just ignore the system all together?

Playing video games≠being nerdy

no, even if you're an avid video gamer (all consoles apply) that doesn't necessarily make you a nerd. I think nerds would find that offensive setting the criteria for nerdom so low lol.

What?? I must have missed something somewhere...

Sure, when I was in Japan I was considered "hardcore" for owning a Microsoft based platform, but that was just because Nintendo and Sony rule over there. I explained how the market was completely different in the states, and that in most cases (not all) I prefered Western (D&D style) RPG's and that the PC and xbox had more that I liked in terms of games overall.

I don't think one consol or system is better than the rest, and believe that each system has great games only available on that specific system.

Since I came back to the states though, I never once heard the media portray 360 gamers as "nerdy"... In fact, from my observatons, it's been quite the opposite. All you need to do is walk into your nearest gameshop, and see that the people they serve are from all walks of life. Quite a different picture from even 5, 10 years ago.

I might even go so far as to say, while not system specific, those who don't play games are outside the norm.

Most people will look at those with superior intelligence as being nerds. So someone is a nerd to someone else depending on where they and the person considering them for such a designation fall in on the IQ scale. X360 FTW

This guys pretty close to the truth. WoW was nerdy to me, no offense to anyone...but people dedicate their life, they roleplay...I just can't stand that game.

And yea, the forum doesn't help either. I just post at work, I'm sure most of you post during work/school, but if you care what people are doing or saying in off hours when you could be actually playing a game, than you might be in trouble.

There's nothing wrong with playing Xbox, all of the coolest people I hang out with play games. We play Madden/CoD4 even Halo sometimes. It's like a standard for guys, Sunday we drink, play games and watch football.

I personally think that it doesnt matter what other people think about you. Who are they to tell you that you are a nerd because you play the 360 (or any other platform at that). Ultimately, all that matters is that you are happy with what you do; just because most of us on this site enjoy playing videogames. We are on this site because we like to discuss videogames with others who enjoy them like we do. If people dont like it then SCREW THEM, maybe they should go find something that they can be happy doing lol

this makes you a nerd.ready plug your nose and say....

my level 56 wizard can beat your level 62 dwarf fire fart goblin dousche.

ahem world of warcraft.

i personally think that what makes you a nerd is how long you spend playing your system.you dont have to own a certain system to be a nerd.its how long you play it.if your one of those people that have no social life and come home and play for 18 hours then your a nerd and pathetic.or your one of those kids who invites 8 of your nerd friends to come over and play dungeons and dragons.i probrably play around 8 hours a week. i cant sit that long and play games.
