Me.

I have never watched much TV, skip most movies, and am unable to play any first shooter from Doom onwards without getting motion sick. Plus I think that I should respect copyrights.

Let me turn it around. What true nerd would consider consumption of mass market media a defining characteristic of nerdom? As opposed to, say, burying your nose in a math text for fun?

Wow, I thought this was just me! This prevents me from playing even the good stuff like Portal, which is a terrible pity.

Try increasing the FOV.

I tried to watch a video of Portal. I failed.

It was clear to me that increasing the field of view would not help.

Thank you for calling me on the No True Scotsman fallacy, then perpetuating the same in your reply. :)

Shame about your respect for copyright in the digital age; I'm in full agreement with you otherwise.
