Once you learn of it, you can never stop playing it. Get out before you are doomed to the hell that is "The Game." Run my comrade! Run and don't look back! Tell the world what you read here, and warn them!Geek@Heart said:
I really don't know what was the geekiest thing I did so far...
Typing quicker in a foreign language than my native one, because I used to chat too much, might be geeky enough...
But apart from, reciting Pi, playing old pc games, and creating boardgames, I certainly will say (in the future, when I am old) "noobies" to youngsters.
Does an geekiness outlook count as well? Or is that too off-topic?

Well, if you listened to the AI spheres before you incinerated them you'd know that one of them was dedicated to the cake recipe. It's not a very good cake (lots of rhubarb) and it also never got made, but the recipe is there, and it's therefore not a complete lie.Quantana said:
The geekiest thing I've done is probably this- see, in Denmark we have this "3rd year paper" in our high school equivalent that's apparently the most important thing we have to do in our entire school career. We get a week off to work on it, but a friend and I spent all that time making lether armors, capes and tunics to wear for the midnight screening of the LOTR movie. When I came home I started working on my paper on the floor as my computer table was occupied by some Gorkamorka miniatures (remember that game? It owned). With no kind of coherent thought put into it, I just typed the whole thing in overnight, printed it out at 7am, fired up my moped, went to the office, handed it in and subsequently got an A+ on it. With the paper being on Douglas Adams I'd say the cumulative geek-factor of that whole week was pretty high.
Well you just went right ahead and blew mine out of the water. I love you.dukethepcdr said:FunnyVoodoo Child said:On a related note, I do a lot of home based and home visit computer repair on the side in addition to my "real" job and among my cleaning and repair tools, I carry my trusty Sonic Screwdriver UV pen. While discussing the possibilities of being able to fix their computer, I sometimes get it out and tell my clients that I'll try everything there is to get the job done, even if it takes using my Sonic Screwdriver. Also sometimes when explaining to a client that I'll need to replace a broken part, I'll zap it with the Sonic Screwdriver and say something like "Well, even the Sonic Screwdriver couldn't fix it, so it'll definately need replaced".
Being as I live in the US an a lot of people still haven't seen Doctor Who despite it's being broadcast on Sci Fi Channel now, I sometimes have to explain what a Sonic Screwdriver is. Which leads to a discussion about the Doctor and the show. It can be a very nice ice breaker or conversation piece. Pretty geeky of me, but hey, it works.
They are usually pretty impressed by the invisible ink trick that it does too.
I cosplayed at an anime convention...if there is anything geekier, nerdier or dorkier than that, I will eat my own spleen.
two things: one, I created an account ONLY to reply to this thread.
the other: I was having a conversation online, and in real life. the person in real life told me a joke. and instead of laughing, I typed "lol". I did not once laugh, but I felt mirth. I feel no shame in doing anything from now on, because I have reached the limit of geekiness.

Nothing near the levels of geekdom achieved by others, but a few highlights of mine include:
Playing Smash Bros. Brawl all night.
Owning TWEWY, Bleach and Zelda t-shirts.
Having a collection of hand-painted Lord of the Rings figures displayed in a special ornamental shelving unit. Before the films came out.
Catching them all in the two most recent generations of Pokemon (discounting Arceus, of course).
