Yeah, I've been called a geek, but I don't care, 'cause I like my life style, so what if they don't.
Nope, never been called a geek.All of my friends know I play it, including the ones who don't play it. I don't talk about it with my friends though, I never feel the need to talk about it with them.
I hang around a large group of people and no one finds it weird to play any game. As long as you don't become uber-obsessed with it you're not a geek in my crowd.
The itching sensation is a good thing.
When I was in college, I had some friends who were not very familiar with Final Fantasy. One played everquest, and he told me at one point "you'd never catch me playing one of those" ad the other was a huge fan of GTA: San Andreas, and said it looked good but not so great.
No one I knew there really played it except a couple people down the hall, but no one called me a geek.
To go off on a tangent...
One time, Gary, the San Andreas fan, decided to pick up FFX in my room for a while 'just for fun'. In the next two days he played nearly 17 hours! Even my roommate got interested in it, and started playing it.
I found it funny because he said earlier that he 'didn't understand how I could play a game like that'. Undoubtably it has influenced them. I've converted a couple people over to the dark side.
A geek?! Yeh, I have heard it plenty of times but I don't really care. My friend understands me because I have my obbessions. PLAYING FF-GAMES OVER AND OVER! BUAHAHAA! Well, kröhöm....
President Shinra is dead...
Cloud: "Only Sephiroth can use that sword."
"You sure?"
Cloud: "Of course. He uses it to shave his legs. Do you think anyone else will want to touch it after that?"
None of my friends play FF or even have a PS2 to begin with and they all know I'm a hardcore FF fan yet they never call me a geek. In fact, everyone who knows I love FF has never called me a geek.
I understand how you feel though. (They're just jealous they're missing out on something as great as FF
Thanks to Starry Relm for my awesome Ashe sig and ava!
Usually my reply to such accusations is : "So? I'm still better than you"
There is no signature here. Move along.
Never been called a geek. Nerd, yes. Socially inept, yes, but not a geek. And not for my FF obsession either. (I'm on Academic Decathalon)

FF.
Sure, like: "why the hell do you play FF? Play Counter Strike, you can shoot people!"
Yeah right..
I doubt anyone who knew me would actually try to call me a geek. Method Man has gone on record about how much he likes video games, but nobody calls him a geek. *shrugs*
Maybe it has something to do with that whole "outside interests" thing...
What's wrong with being a geek?

People throw things at you.
NOT TALKING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
I'm called a geek sometimes. I don't usually care. Its only if they say something like "FF sucks!" that I waste any of my time talking back. Everyone I know plays racing games or first person shooters, and I'm not very good at either of them. I have 3 friends who actually play FF, and only one has played anything before FFX, which is to bad.
Unfortunately, that's the way it is. Maybe it's just being born in the wrong generation, but as of now, video games are geeky. It's sad really, because they're a form of entertainment just like music is, but music is considered cool (although I personally can't stand music bands. I've never bought a music CD in my entire life outside the classical period).
We've probably got to give it a few more years until people realize video games are a valid form of entertainment. I'm already beginning to see pop culture leak into the video game industry. Whether you consider that a good or bad thing is up to you, I personally hold my own opinions on that.
But all we can do for now is live with it. Time is a far more powerful force than any feeling or emotion, so give them some years and we'll see a change. Can't really say if it will be for better or for worse as of now though.
To hell with Battletoads and Double Dragon.
THIS is the ultimate team.
