Title says it all. I don't mind being called a gamer or gamefan but I'm called game freak by most of the people around me. I'm not violent or anything but I really don't like that name. What do people tend to call you and how do you react?

I have never been called a gamefreak....but I have been called a nerd a couple of times....and being called that doesn't really affect me.

well, in school they used to call me that......... until they got to play videogmaes

Never heard of people being called a gamefreak before, I always thought it was a kick arse developer....

Noone has ever called me that, but no I wouldnt care. I enjoy what I enjoy. Dont care what they think about it.

I thought Gamefreak developed games? :)

Anyways, I'm never worried by any of this - because it's cool to be a bit obsessed with games in my school ^^

Never had this problem as most dudes and a lot of chicks play games. When I meet someone who never does that is younger than 30 I think they are strange for never doing it.

It doesnt affect me to be called like that neather.

At first, i saw GameFreak, the pokemon-related developer :P

Is this a term used for the employees of Game Freak?

People don't know I play games. If I was called anything other than fantastic, interesting, wise or gorgeous I'd probably stab the person in the eye with the edge of my Devil May Cry 4 metal case. 

Go to the gym for a year, take on kick boxing, get yourself hopped up on horse steroids and adrenaline and tear a new hole into the fuckers. If that doesn't float your boat, tell them to piss off and avoid them.

WARNING: Not everyone can be a super machismo like me, so don't jump into the action based on my advice... unless you have a set of nunchucks.
