EDIT: For me...dunno.
I wrote a sprawling FAQ on exercise physiology for a message board and was then instructed by my peers to dumb it down because even with all the explanations, there was no way in hell anyone visiting casually would be able to figure out what I was saying for half of it. Yeah, doesn't sound nerdy (since, y'know, it's basically about lifting weights), but we're talking about something the size of a small book here.
I'm a DM and own pretty much all of the 4E books (along with a fair number of 3.5). I want to play GURPS, Hero, and Cthulu/Cthulutech.
...can't remember any more, and need to sleep now.
Well I've just come from an Avatar thread where I compared Star Wars and LOTR. That probably pips it for me.
Wrote an entire 'Fighting Fantasy' style choose your own path kinda book thing.
Oh, I also recorded a song about Kratos.

Was accused of being a cannibal in school due to the actions of one of my RP character's. (Not in it's self terrible, except it also happened to be in the exact moment the room reached an awkward silence, leading to alot of 'wtf' looks).
That, or similarly related to RP took part in the same prolonged game for over a year... I damn well loved that character though.

yeah i went on a sort of frenzy with AC2, i bought it the day it came out.. i sat there for hours on end until i finished it and i threatened to hurt anyone who was gonna tell me what 'the truth' video was.Simalacrum said:
i have now 100%'d it.. the problem is.. now that the game is boring.. thinking back.. i waited like 2 years for this =(
I don't like to think of myself as a nerd but the DBZ lunchbox I take to work sometimes says otherwise. I'm 23.
I made an account on starwarsgalaxies and for someshitty reason even got married ini the game....
During a rehearsal for the Crucible (a play about the Salem Witch Trials), when the word 'wizard' was used, I began humming the Harry Potter theme music. That was pretty geeky.
That, or aiming to get all the flags on AC1. Haven't done it yet, but working on it

I can think of many things... but it'd likely be the fact that I use video game analogies for describing RL things, that I once while I couldn't sleep plotted out the fastest way to walk across two randomly chosen zones in WoW in my head, that I keep quoting things like "I am the Warchief", "Speak, fool!", "We will do what we must... but we'll do it for Aiur, not you" and the like ALL THE TIME (to the point that my friends during my exchange year started calling me Warchief because I said that I was that so often...) etc etc etc etc etc.
I've also often given thoughts to how to model an average house in a square-grid based 1st person dungeon crawler, and thus get annoyed when a room is too large or weirdly shaped (or small) to be able to accurately render. And other things like that.
Oh, and of course the constant threat of fireballing annoying people or blasting them into walls, wishing I could use Fast Travel or Teleport when I'm late for school, yelling "YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME!" when upset at someone or just generally wondering what life would be like if you could fly, throw fireballs or turn invisible at whim, and how to procure a robe and wizard hat and not make myself look absolutely ridiculous whilst wearing them to school. It's little things like that that make my life good.
(And, of course, exclaiming "you critically fail your perception/Dodge/Make Dinner roll" whenever someone doesn't notice something obvious, fails to move aside for something equally obvious, or manages to set the frying pan on fire. That last thing only happened once, but it was a well-time happening)

The thing that springs to mind first is how I explained the whole story and history of Middle Earth, right from The Silmarillion onwards then going onto explaining how the Silmarillion is so closely relatable to many religeous texts and stating the comparisons at length. Also about the self torture and part destruction of the elves over middle earth's history etc etc.
People started to back away slowly after that, and all think it's weird for a girl to think like that!

Nah. You obviously weren't talking to the right people - if you had, they'd be amazed and probably ask you out unless they already knew you were into similar things, in which case it'd have happened before.Red Bomb said:
A friend asked what i thought about the movie ''Gamer''. I said ''i didn't like it, but it's entertaining. At least there's violence and tits.'' and he's like ''WTF? Tits should be seen in real life not in movies.''
1) Reference to yahtzee
2) Talking about tits in a movie
3) Seeing a movie called ''Gamer''
It's not nerdy, but i don't care.

Bought 2000 pts. of WH40k TT models in one sweep.
Felt kind of neckbeard-y after that.
EDIT: Oh, yeah four years of WoW.
