Hypothetical Nerd Challenge #1

[delet]

Hmm, I guess I could describe every book in the Ender's series, but is that nerd? (all 9 as soon as I finish this one last book...)

If not, then I could either quote every line GLaDOS says in Portal, or I could sing 'Still Alive'

Oh, or I'd put on my fingerless gloves, and explain that they used to be normal, but it's too hard to use a keyboard with gloves on while my hands are cold.

[Edit] One more thing. Perhaps I could simply describe my zombie plan in full, but quick, detail... Evey one NEEDS a zombie plan...

 

[Unguarded]

1. 3:14 Minutes Remain: Sit down.

2. 3:10 Minutes Remain: Break into one long, continuous sentence, talking quickly in a nasally voice, while replacing every occurance of a period with "and," discussing the intricate construction, strategies, and counters of the last 10 Magic The Gathering World Championship Winner's decks, as well as which one is your favorite and how if you ever met the guy who made that deck irl you'd shake his hand and never wash your hands again for fear of washing away the gloriousness of it all.

3. 0:10 Seconds Remain:
A) If he judges you a nerd, congratulations! You've won and Diablo 3 is yours.
B) If he still doesn't believe you, as a last ditch effort, you would point out (Normally I don't support base humor, but we are risking Diablo 3 here.) that your retelling of the decks has caused you to become very, very aroused.

i wouldnt care much if diablo 3 wasnt released. ive seen the demo. its just single-player WoW with worse graphics.

i would begin singing this song to him:

and after that, this:

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Ftaghn!

 

[SoonerMatt]

1. Tell him that this situation preventing Diablo III's release bothers me more than the world imploding does.

2. If he thinks I'm crazy for thinking this way, I sacrifice him to appease the echelons.

3. I dance while singing the DK Rap.

 

[Yegargeburble]

Well i would start to describe the story of the Chrono universe and how exactly el nido suddenly sprang up in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. Explain every character's backstory and how they relate to characters in the first game. He will kill himself before the end of the first minute.... time shifting paradoxes no one except for expierenced gamers truly understand them.

This is probably along the lines of what I would do.

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Ftaghn!

Ia! Ia!

 

[keyton777]

start talking in tokien elvish, and tell him about my WoW character, followed by my D&D character

 

[traceur_]

I would say "I like star trek" and then debate the pros and cons of various WOW classes, then his brain would implode from processing the nerdiness.


(I don't like star trek nor do I play WOW)

 

[petrolmonkey]

First thing I assumed was the he is the G-Man.

 

[Legendel]

Show him my old school report when I was about 11... Self improvement comment section "I have no friends and other people are breaking my concentration"

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

Hmmm I would spend the next three minutes, making eldritch gestures with my hands, and mumbling nonsensical things under my breath, then at the pinnacle of my supposed spellcasting, I would shout at the top of my lungs: "I AM A NERD"!!!! Followed by staring into his eyes and moving my eyebrows in a weird snakelike pattern.

I'd fail, of course, I'm not that persuasive, and I'm not exactly a nerd.. But I tried. Oh god.. I tried...

 

[nova18]

I would point out that 3.14 is the start of Pi, and then I would proceed to name all the digits I know: 3.141592653589793238462622...

This. Only a nerd would recognize a reference to Pi instantly.

Or someone who did an A level in Maths

I'd put on a one man show that displays the events following the Star Wars and Marvel universes colliding.

Although this will be a ruse, while he is distracted, I will be buffing my stats enough to do crit. damage to him. Then I will use intelligence boosting potions to stop the end of the world. I'll probably sell Diablo 3 on ebay though, not a massive fan.

 

[zen5887]

Go into detail about the D&D alignment system.

 

[TheRealCJ]

I would desperately and repeatedly try to press the 'quickload' hotkey.

 

[TZer0]

"Hey G-man! Want to play a round of tic-tac-toe on my calculator? Home-made program."

Quoting TF2-characters, HL2, Portal and all other games I've played as well as asking him to ask me to solve different problems would probably work too.

Edit: talking about stuff like Magic: The Gathering, programming or computer specs is also an idea.

 

[runedeadthA]

I would attempt to draw my tag on the wall, Nordic runes and all, I would then ask him if he had a copy of one of Robert Jordon's books for me to read. (that's the Wheel Of Time Series for those not in the Know )

pull out my die bag and say 3.5 is the best rip dave arneson
