A fan of Star Trek. They try to own all of the series DVDs, buy all the merchandise they can, and attend all conventions possible. They enjoy watching Star Trek and hanging out with other trekkies. Surprisingly, most of them have lives and are very nice people.

Get the trekkie mug.A fan of any iteration of Star Trek, not just the Next Generation as elsewhere noted.
Original series Star Trek fans have had a preference for trekker, not trekkie, going back to the early '70s and the first conventions.
At about that time, the mainstream media discovered Star Trek fandom with feature stories that usually had a condescending spin, including the term trekkie. These were along the lines of "Who are these trekkies and why do they gather by the thousands to profess their love for an old canceled TV show?"
Those features often focused on the most extreme aspects of fandom that of course looked weirdest to non-fans, and didn't delve into what it was about the show that made fans so passionate. Thus were the beginnings of the "nerdy" cliches that have come to be associated with fans. It was to avoid associations with such cliches that original Star Trek fans became opposed to trekkie and sought to get the more serious-sounding term trekker used.

"Yeah, I'm a Star Trek fan, but I'm not a trekkie, I'm a trekker. Why? Because it better reflects what being a fan is about."

Get the Tekkit mug.A 3-D fighting game developed by NAMCO, the people who brought you Pac Man and Soul Calibur. The controls are right kick, left kick, right punch, and left punch (press nothing to block;it's weird but makes some people's lives easier). It is one of the top fighting games (it's been repeated hundreds of times, but no one really pays attention) out there, but the people who say Tekken's gay are just jealous lil otaku since their ecchi game Dead or Alive is in the bottom pit with other crappy fighting games or the fact the person sucked at playing it.
Over the years, Tekken developed from just another 3-D game into a fun, original fighting game. If a fighting piece of wood or a usable character that shoots lasers isn't original, then what is?
Don't worry, the plot of Tekken isn't really that complicated. It's just a big tournament called King of the Iron Fist made by the Mishimas, that brings the top fighters together to earn the title of the best fighter or win the Tekken Zaibatsu.
There's a varitey of characters to choose from, which makes this game fun and entertaining. The Tekken fandom might not be as big, but many people have enjoyed playing it.
If you never played a 3-D fighting game before, I recommend you to try this game out. It's a game the whole family can enjoy! :)
