Yes but being a geek is a compliment. You did post this in the Geeks' Lounge.

I am not sure. I have only ever been invited to one LAN party.

Google LAN party. Seeing as I mentioned that I am pretty sure that is what we are talking about.

I wouldn't say it's particularly geeky. I have a group of friends from mixed backgrounds (and some are definitely geeks but others not so much) and we LAN a couple times a year.
On the other hand, when you have people who bring their own table, chair, power strip, gigabit switch, monitor, gaming mouse, joystick, and have a special carrying strap for their desktop, it can be a little geeky...

I know a lot of people that have LAN parties, but they're not particular geeky... they just like to play video games. :)

Hmmm... depends in that case on how far you take it.
It's considered geeky when you spell it LANning though...

I think looking up the word geek in an online dictionary is geeky. Lol.
