What is... the nerdiest/geekist thing you've ever done?

[strangemoose]

Well for my highschool newspaper ive written stories on...why MLG should be considered a sport, i reported on the Emerald City Comic Con, wrote movie reviews for iron man 2 and Thor, thats the most publicly nerdy thing ive done

 

[EHKOS]

Well, besides turning my room into a nerd cave, I'd say incorperating video games and H.P. Lovecraft into one of my songs....NO YOU CAN'T HEAR THEM. I also have a Malkavian costume for next halloween.

 

[Quazimofo]

Watching My Little Pony while sharpening knives. (I keep my life in Balance)
I also tell customers when they leave I say "Keelah se'lai" and no one gets it and when the ask what I said I say it's Swedish for good bye

I may have to start saying "Bosh'tet" to customers xD

where do you work? i want to go there just to hear someone say that and mean it (both of you guys)

[Tomster595]

First thing that comes to mind is playing GURPS then going to a LAN party

 

[Typecast]

Started playing Warhammer 40k... you know, the ACTUAL thing with little plastic dudes you paint ^_^

hey i just picked that up a few weeks ago myself! what army you playing as?

and that is probably the geekiest thing I've done to this date, i really gotta put more time into geeky ventures, im behind schedule!

I've started collecting the Tau ^_^ I started about 2-3 weeks ago. Ebay is wonderful although I do buy my paints and brushes from the proper store.

I'd say my collection of 4E books and having been the DM in several custom D&D campaigns likely takes the cake.

However, I've also got in the habit of testing MTG decks against one another to see how they play. I've done this so much that I started a league to record the results in order to better build and tweak the decks. Of course to an outsider looking in...I'm essentially just playing magic one player which is both nerdy and sad.

 

[kakaomasse]

beside reading this site for 1-6 hours...well not daily, but every so often, depending on mood and the time, it was probably when i told a random guy, sitting near me, where he finds the last secret on TR 2's first level.

Yeah.

 

[aba1]

I once ate everyone while wearing a fanny pack pretty embarrassing

 

[Valkaris]

Probably playing D20-Magic-Texas Hold 'Em

 

[Hot Madness]

LARPing with big foam swords in a public park on multiple occasions, buying and painting two full armies for Warmachine, Running D&D campaigns in public, Oh and write up a 300+ page custom d20 sci-fi campaign setting.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

I joined this site.

This.

Actually I don't really do anything particularly nerdy or geeky unless you count being a gamer.

I once did a book report about how an author used placing a story in a foreign country helped drive home the theme about Superman Red Son. Did I mention it was for Honors English.

 

[Atheist.]

This is a tough question for me however it's easily where my username comes from.
I was once in a punk rock/ska band
ages ago
that was called 'the deck of many things' our songs were mostly about D&D.

It was truly sad.

(PS this was loooong before penny-arcade made a joke about tycho being in a similar band... hell i think it was before penny-arcade existed)

Not trying to be the bad guy, but how is it tough question, as well as easy?

For me, it was probably when I was in class at Uni and the teacher said something incorrect. I promptly stood up and said "Objection!"

 

[Harry Mason]

Um...
Wrote fan-fiction and made fan-art for a Rifts (the pen-and-paper RPG) campaign that I WAS RUNNING.

I also once had sex with someone because their final project for ceramics was a giant Aperture Science symbol.

 

[SageRuffin]

Open my mouth and start talking.

A few friends and i made pacman and ghost costumes and had our end of high school muckup photos taken in them, then we rampaged through the school chasing after pacman while the person wearing the pacman suit would run through football fields and steal soccer balls and we'd all chase after. Then we alternated costumes so that people could take a break and the chase continued for over an hour. I am now doing BA in Interactive Entertainment with a major in Games Programming, the geekiness shall never die.

Me and some friends turned the main field on campus into a giant board game of our own design. It involved rolling giant D20s (which we made ourselves) and than completing an action/competition/trivia depending on the number you rolled. I was red proctor, which meant i dressed up in a red shirt, had a red cape, and carried a (real) red viking-style shield. When players reached the end they had to wait until "a new challenger appeared", than swordfight them for victory. The prize for winning the board game was, no joke, a 22 pound gummi bear, made by me the night before. (by the way, the trivia was mostly about sci fi television, mythology, pirates, and general nerdiness)

i have been also been intricately involved with the planning of a pirate vs ninja boffing battle that occurred during the schools recruitment drive
