Let's face it, most of us on this site are nerds, after all we all love to talk about video games, that's why we tend to have a certain soft spot for fellow nerds, especially when they appear as video game characters.

What are some of the nerdiest characters you can recall in video games?

The biggest nerds in gaming for me would have to be:

Dr. Wily - Mega Man (He's always coming up with the most predictable plans, and most outrageous robots just to stop Mega Man.)

Otacon - Metal Gear Solid (Obsessed with anime (his code name is literally "Otaku Convention") and seems to have the worst luck with women.)

Dr. Kleiner - Half-Life (Even in the most tense situations, he always seems to be obsessed with his pet headcrab, Lamarr.)

Francis - Super Paper Mario (He goes out of his way to take lewd pictures of butterflies and post them on digibutter.nerr.)

Alphys - Undertale (Obsessed with anime, invents a human killing robot that is also a dancer, and just can't seem to confess her feelings to Undyne.)

What about you, can you think of some cool nerds in video games?




"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
