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)

I went LARPing in a public park and scared many a parent into keeping their children faaaaaaar away from us. We were seeking the gate! The gate.

I posted something on a Fallout 3 wiki explaining my theory of how mirelurk kings originated from one of the vaults due to their sonic technology and mirelurk infestation when I got there. I felt really smart about it at the time.

Probably my friend and I pulling out our toy lightsabers in the middle of the lunchroom and dueling each other.

I drove 80 miles with my friends to a pizza place in another city in order to watch the korean starcraft finals live at 1am. The place had a professional starcraft commentator come in and commentate the game live, and the pizza and beer flowed like wine. Twas a glorious night, though sadly the matches ended all too fast because JaeDong couldn't get his shit together.

I went to a table top War-Hammer 40K Tournament with my friend, then ditched and played at the arcade instead for three hours.

I looked up at the sky one day and said. "Holy shit! That cloud looks like the Enterprise-D!" and considered taking a picture of it.

You're not alone. I've participated in a far range of discussions on the subject of the games on the same wiki, from questioning why stealth boys don't leave the user blind to theorizing why the Vault 87 super mutants were different from the ones made at Mariposa. My crowning achievement, I think, would be a detailed psychological analysis of Mr. House comparing him to Thomas Hobbes.

I"ll quote myself from <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.287332-Whats-the-worst-pick-up-line-youve-used-had-used-on-you>What's the worst pick up line you've used/had used on you?

... So Ig uess the worst one that failed was I referenced P2 Innocent Sin by saying, and i kid you not "you are my Maya Amano, and I'm your Tatsuya Suou, so lets make an Innocent Sin for some External Punishment". Amazingly the girl knew what i was talking about, and giggled before walking away. though I later asked her out like a normal person.

.... I know, its amazing I got rid of my V-Card. ...
EDIT: though I would also say I've been LARPing, Cosplayed, and even wrote fan fiction.

Being asked at an old workplace for a six digit code they can program into the security system so I can disarm it after hours and they'll know it's me. I told them 127001... then explained why I'd never forget it. I got some funny looks.
I've probably done nerdier things, I just can't remember them.

DTPed a new book containing all the background, locations and rules I'd need, and none of the other ones, all in one book. No more checking the monster manual and then adding a fiendish/whatever template to that creature if you just want to summon monster I-IX. No more dragging all your books cause you just might need to know something specific where your character has been because of the setting you are in.

Created a new book for a D&D 3.5 campaign in which I had dissected the rules and reapplied them for playable monster races without level adjustment. It should be playable until level 60. It also counts a 60 (mostly new) page monster manual, new traps and plots. This book has 293 pages (so far, not including plothooks and story angles)

I (still) micromanage my custom D&D sheet to the extreme.

I played Yugioh with friends in study hall. Everyday.

For the past 4 months.

I'm a senior in High School.

Well yesterday in English I cited the destruction of Alderan as people "Just following orders" doing really evil things. Probably not the nerdiest in my life, but it was a good start to the week

For a school project, I had to do an allegory of Plato's Cave. I got a couple friends together and we made a D&D video to represent the "prisoners" inside the cave, and the higher reality beyond the cave.

(I wrote out a page about it, thought I covered all the bases, but the teacher still didn't understand.)

Probably our 48-hour gaming-marathon I had with a friend that was only interrupted by walks to the bathroom and to the oven (to put the pizzas in/get them out).
