Your Biggest Nerdgasm

[Paperplanes79]

I recently started playing BioShock 2 and it's giving me everything i want. Exciting new locals, better views of rapture, and awesome upgrades to the visuals while keeping the amazing formula. It's almost as if they asked the fans what they wanted and served it up on a silver platter.

Then it happened Rapture was presented to me in its full beautiful decaying glory. I gasped and stopped playing. I had to sit there for a minute and draw it all in. It felt fleshed out like never before. It was beautiful.

So i ask you what's or biggest breathing nerdy moment.

Also black temple in WOW that end boss still brings tears of joy to my eyes.

Getting twilight princess a few years back and having to restrain myself from finishing it in one sitting. I could have too, but the looks I'd get, the deliriousness from lack of food, and the strange smell that would surely follow made me relent. Just.

Getting my first hat in team fortress 2. A completely useless cosmetic item that has an artificial value due to scarcity. "FUCK YES!!!"

Oh, and finishing F-zero's story mode on the highest difficulty. Literally air punching after that one, that was my crowning moment of nerdom right there!

This. My first "real" hat drop (I have the Cheater's Lament and Ghastly Gibus) was a Camera Beard. Technically not a hat, but still.

The announcements of both L4D2 and Portal 2 have had me pretty exited in a spectacular nerdy way, that isn't exactly what you were talking about though (even if the Portal 2 excitement is still in the "HELLYESPORTAL2HELLYESPORTAL2HELLYE... you get the idea" stage).

I guess completing both Mass Effects on Insanity would be pretty close. I don't normally play games on full difficulty, but that was so worth it.

Finding out that God of War 3 got classified in Australia. I was so fucking happy when I found out.

Arriving at Olympus Coliseum for the first time in Kingdom Hearts. You're fighting through the prelims, everything's going fine and dandy, and suddenly, Cloud Freaking Strife walks by. Granted, you only get a passing glance that first time... But that icy stare, the bizarre but strangely familiar outfit and, of course, that unmistakable hairdo, make his identity absolutely clear. Seeing child-sized versions of Tidus, Wakka and Selphie was a treat, sure, but it was nothing compared to this.

And then, Phil informs you that you'll be fighting him.

Nerdgasm.

I wish I could put a game down, but that would be a lie. The real moment was during the Video Games Live concert at San Diego Comic Con last year.

Pretty sure I wound up shivering through the entire Zelda sequence, and that was just one part.

When I first started playing WoW all those years ago, everything I wanted in an MMORPG. Quitting was also a big move for me... freedom.

 

[AvsJoe]

Hmm... probably the first time I saw Advent Children. Sometime during the battle sequence against Bahamut, specifically.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Well, it wasn't a single moment, but at one time I was running a probably a few hundred mods for Oblivion, read lots of articles about Elder Scrolls mods, and tried my hand at modding myself.

I suppose for a single nerdy moment, probably my excitement when I heard you would get to be king in Fable 3.

By nerdgasm I assume you mean something related to videogames or technology that you are profoundly moved by, but someone else who isn't so heavily into videogames and technology would just say "I don't get it." or "That's neat, I guess."

For me that moment was the first time I fought the Boss at the end of MGS3. It was so emotional and profound. I distinctly remember feelings of relief, but also regret, lost love, sacrifice and understanding. In other words, it was a lot like a real orgasm.

Livin' out my Predator fantasy in AVP (the new one).

When I finally got a computer that could play Crysis maxed out at more then 10 fps.

Heh, I've like 4 of those now, Valve kind of forgot to make the rare once they stopped being technically hats. Oh well!

I guess when I first fired the Experimental MIRV in Fallout 3, but I also have regular wanks over the new God of War game's trailers.
