Yesterday afternoon, gamers were treated with Patch 1.02 for [I]Mass Effect 3[/I]. This patch fixed a number of issues - facial features from [I]ME1[/I] & [I]ME2[/I] not importing, a crash encountered when accessing the Eden Prime level - but at a cost. Xbox 360 users have taken to the[URL="http://social.bioware.com/forum/Mass-Effect-3/Mass-Effect-3-Xbox-360-Technical-Support/Game-freezes-after-new-patch-11291687-1.html"] Bioware forums[/URL] to report that the recent patch has caused their console to freeze when trying to connect to the EA servers. As of right now, the error seems to be isolated to those that received the N7 Warfare pack as a pre-order bonus. Bioware has [URL="http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/345/index/11306524/1"]acknowledged the problem[/URL] and is hard at work with EA to fix the issue. If you can't wait for the issue to be fixed, here are some [URL="http://social.bioware.com/forum/Mass-Effect-3/Mass-Effect-3-Xbox-360-Technical-Support/Temporary-multiplayer-fix-for-patch-related-crashes-11286921-1.html"]methods [/URL]that might just get your game working:
1)Go to the Xbox Dashboard. Access your main storage device.
2) Delete the N7 Warfare pack. (This DLC seems to cause the game to freeze immediately after reaching the main menu after the patch is downloaded).
3)Move all of your save files for singleplayer to a secondary storage device such as a flashdrive or memory card.
4)Disconnect the secondary storage device from your Xbox.
5)Start up ME3.
6)The main menu screen should now appear, and the left-hand menu should be accessible with the options "New Game", "Multiplayer", and "Extras". (NOTE: If you have auto-sign-in to EA Servers enabled, the game might freeze at this point, making my solution inapplicable.)
7)Click on "New Game".
8)Select "Import ME2 character".
9)Exit the "Import ME2 Character Screen". Return to the main menu.
10)Click Multiplayer. Game should successfully connect itself to EA servers at this point and launch multiplayer.
11) If the above doesn't work, try switching discs.

Well, first of all, I think you meant [I]geeks[/I]. Nerds are a stereotypical image of an intellectual. Whereas geeks are interpreted to be socially awkward and often associated with games.
Second of all, you shouldn't categorise everyone who plays games under one group. It's bad enough we have 10 year olds spewing Call Of Duty shit everywhere. Obviously you are just one of those people who don't appreciate that people might play a game for rich story content casually.
Finally, some people do care.
Also, welcome to Facepunch, where most of us [B]do[/B] play games.
