Guild Wars 2

So…

My children are playing a game on my PS Vita called Jetpack Joyride. One of the items you can purchase is “Nerd Repellent,” which makes all scientists disappear from the game while it’s active.

I wonder what nerd repellent would do to Asura?

Or… to GW2 players?

Being vastly superior to other races isn’t the same as being a nerd

NERRRRRRRRD!

You realize the introductory sequence for the Asura race has this quote in it:

“I am Asura, I personify Genius”

That, is the very definition of being a Nerd on all accounts.

“Nerd” is a derogatory, stereotypical term and therefore inadequate for a race of our standing.

would you prefer I call the Asura a bunch of Dork’s or Geeks?

(technical definitions follow):

Nerd means a stupid person according to the older definitions
Geek is another word for a stupid person…
Dork however originally referred to a males genitalia.

They all have since been co-opted by popular culture to refer to highly intellectual people or people who are involved in alternative forms of entertainment such as video games, role playing games, and trading card games.

Either way, all three terms in their new meanings as they have been co-opted by popular culture would technically be applicable to the Asura.

The term ‘genius’ will suffice.
