I've memorised the Stargate co-ordinates for Earth. Sure it SEEMS nerdy now, but just wait till YOU'RE stuck on a planet with no way to dial home!

Pffft, they aren't nerd animes! I spit at you, you common fiend! Though knowing all the lore to the Horde is pretty sweet.Z of the Na said:
I play DnD, I roleplay as anything, I plan to LARP, as soon as I've passed my bleedin driving test, I have an extensive knowledge on pretty much anything 20th-21st century military equipment (thorugh own reaserch, not crap like MW), I also have an extensive Gundam knowledge to the point of rediculous (using MS designations for passwords is ubercool) and my favorite thing in the world is probably not socialising outside my comfort zone.
I feel your pain brother, my mom first showed me the original Star Wars, un-edited, recorded of the TV, then watching the remakes I was like "What the hell, Greedo never shoots, so why does he shoot first, IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!"fahbrock said:
Still makes no sense, I mean, I didn't notice this till I watched James Rolfe's (AVGN) two part StarWars review and he points out that Han's head digitally shifts, and it looks friggin stupid, makes it look like it should be in a comedy, not a Sci-Fi/Fantasy epic.ManThatYouFear said:
Granted yeah, it's unpredictable when you first watch it after growing up watching videos of the original StarWars because it doesn't belong there! Like someone RP'in a full Orc as a Wizard, it doesn't belong.
I own around 2500 comics, most of them are Superman Comics, have a few that are worth a fortune (you know first editions =D), I also have around 80 fantasy books (which I read regularly), several science books including Carl Sagan's Cosmos, several anime figures, some history books (specially from the roman and greek period). If that is not geeky or nerdy enough I have also developed my own alphabet which I use regularly ad I can write faster with that one that with the regular alphabet, additionally I am also working on my own fantasy book.
As far as gaming goes I own a PS3, and XBOX 360 and a great PC, got several games.
Incredibly enough I also have a girlfriend =)

I know how many turns of 42 gauge of enamel coated copper wire it takes to achieve the hot Eddie Van Halen PAF Guitar sound.
I know what woods sound like what in a guitar. Mahogany, Alder, Maple, Koa.
I know how to fully calibrate any claw/spring based tremolo unit.

It's Soul Calibur, and making cosplay of Japanese games is more commonly referred to as being a cosplayer, not a nerd. Also, a true nerd would never write a game title with a spelling mistake.Drakmeire said:

OT: I have recently purchased Pokemon HeartGold and, ignoring the fact that its a good game, nostalgia factor alone makes up for the lost cool points,
I have over 200 PC games, 37 Xbox 360 ones, and enough Gamecube titles to dwarf a small child when stacked.
I remembered the previous fact without having to go to my collection and check.
I've played Second Life and wasn't immediately appalled.
I once wore a Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn T-shirt to school.
I once played Starcraft in a pub.
I have a Dreamcast and an N64 in the cupboard. Next to my NES.
I have watched the Colin Baker Doctor Who story Trial of a Timelord (which is 14 episodes) in one sitting at least 4 times. It's over 6 hours long.
I own an unopened, still cello wrapped copy of Hellboy: Asylum Seeker, one of the worst games ever made. For precisely that reason.
I know who April Ryan is.
I know who Andrew Ryan is.
I've played through System Shock 2 co-op multiplayer with a friend from start to finish, with negligible breaks, in one 24 hour sitting. And I'd probably do it again.

Erm... that's going to take a while
- I've read the entire Hitchhiker's guide, most of the discworld series, going through the work of H.P. Lovecraft atm, T.A. Barron's Merlin (about his younger years), Star Wars EU books and own an uncountable amount of comics (not manga though). Oh, not to forget my huge-ass Monty Python biography!
- I've read publications by various physicists, famous or not. Not only their trivial work, but also actual sciency ones and own some of them. And from time to time I read uni scriptures online for fun.
- I own the AC2 Ezio statue from the white edition, but haven't even played the game yet. I just wanted that statue.
- I am able to quote a variety of Star Wars, Futurama, Monty Python and the Big Bang Theory lines and whole conversations, as well as numerous other film/game quotes
- I've built three whole PCs and deal with all computer issues here
- I plan on studying robotics in a year, when I'm done with school and stuff
- I play the piano and the violin (although I'd have to practise again for the second)
- I'm fluent in german and english, italian with some practise, as well as HTML/CSS, Java, Lua, Flash, Batch, the core bits of C/C++ and have programmed an Arduino for fun
- I am a big fan of Dr. Who since I found out he's currently on BBC, my Dalek alarm clock should arrive around next week, also love the new Battlestar Galactica, all of Stargate, Farscape, Firefly, ...
- my music library contains Lemon Demon, Mc Hawking and Bo Burnham. (as I write media player supports me by playing the Katamari theme)
- I don't play Pokemon anymore since I once had to stop years ago because I played so much I actually had nightmares about the game. Like being attacked by wild Pikachus or whatever.
- I celebrate Winter-Een-mas, towel day and talk-like-a-pirate-day
I think that's it for now. Can't talk any more, Smallville is on!

Where should I start? I like fantasy litterature, I am interested in many science-thingies, I play tabletop RPG's, I have played WoW, I knew how to swap the bakground image of a computer by the age of three, I WILLINGLY READ BOOKS (in this decadent age, this is a sign of nerdiness if you are under the age of 25) and I generally am interested in and enjoy playing many kinds of games.
Furthermore, I have read most of the Discworld novels, and I do own an imp-replica (Yahtzee-imp, that is).
....That's all that I can think of for the moment.
