your nerdiest thing...

[Mr. Fister]

Let's see how many nerdy things I can list about me.

*I waited in line for 9 hours at the local Wal-Mart for the Nintendo Wii and a copy of Twilight Princess.
*I've played (and enjoyed) Dungeons and Dragons
*I've obsessed over a fictional character who appears in only one game for over two years now (Guess who)
*I started and finished a playthrough of Ocarina of Time last November because it was the ten-year anniversery of the game
*I know the Main Theme to Super Smash Bros. Brawl by heart
*I (occasionally) write reviews for games on the other message board I post at

I'll probably think of more later.

 

[Charli]

...My WoW RP server character.

Ohoyes.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

My nerd/geek list would be as followed...

- I have actively roleplayed for five years now, although am currently on a near seven month hiatus (sites I hang around have all gone downhill)
- I use to run my own roleplaying site.
- I hang on a relationship advice board on GameFAQS, although have yet to ask for any advice myself
- I own the show Friends on DVD, all seasons which I have watched in their entirety five times, commentary and all. This does not include random episodes or when I use to watch it on TV. So certain episodes I have see upwards of ten times.
- Continuing with Friends, I know the series to such an extent I can call off a fair amount of episodes by name and can pinpoint where portions are cut from TV for commercials. I also know most of the side characters, middle names and etc.
- I own and have watched the entire series of Dawson's Creek twice (once on TV and once on DVD)
- I have likely spent close to or more then three thousnad hours on Halo 2 over the course of three years. Halo 3 has only added to that.
- I have completed Lunar: SSSC eleven times and started an estimated thirty files overall.
- Continuing with the above, I have finished FFX seven times (three times in the same year) with at least fifteen files overall, Suikoden is now six with about fifteen to twenty files overall and Legend of Dragoon is four, no extra incomplete files.
- I know the aforementioned games so well I have memorized a fair amount of the dialogue.
- I played and completed Final Fantasy X-2 with 99% completion and would have had 100% had I not skipped a scene or some such, on my first file. (With a guide of course)
- I have well beyond two hundred anime pictures sized on my computer. I use them for roleplay characters however I save everything I find appealing despite knowing it will never be used.
- I have not slept the recommended amount of hours daily in five years (I usually sleep four to six, although two to three is common and until a few months ago, I often skipped sleeping entirely. My record stands at ten hours for an entire week.)
- I currently have my PC and TV setup so I can watch/use them both at once.
- I have used the split screen feature on my TV (and PC once) to watch three hockey games at once.

Good enough list I suppose, massive nerd/geek but what can be done?

 

[Chiasm]

Friends for me, I could easily go unnoticed as a Geek and just another odd sociological student giving out surveys. But my Geeky and Misfit friends give me away in a moment with D20's hanging off of rear view mirrors, And who's love for Gundam knows no bounds.

 

[superbleeder12]

I have more than 20 D&D books, I have a ton of technical books about Computers and computer security.
I currently work in a company which fixes computer
Most of the people on my phone's contact list are people who ask me about computers
I know how to code in about 6 different programming languages

 

[Fightgarr]

Here are reasons why I am a huge nerd:
Despite who I may be around, if there is a star wars, video game or dungeons and dragons reference to be made I will make it.
When RPing I will not break character until the end of the session.
Because of dissatisfaction with the rules of D&D I wrote my own ruleset to use when I am GMing.
When I write a campaign I always start months in advance to prepare all the concept art for it.
I have a dragon collection. There are times when I believe I am a dragon. Others also believe I am a dragon.

 

[Crofty]

I have quite a list:
I've started to speak with bits of firefly slang, mostly 'shiny', and the occaisional 'gorram'
I study biology.
I have nintendo and games workshop t shirts and really want a unforgotten realms one.
Three Warhammer 40k armies: Eldar, Dark Eldar and Chaos Marines.
The beginnings of two warhammer Fantasy armies: Dark Elves and Chaos.
The vast majority of my book collection is sci-fi and fantasy.
Favourite TV shows include Star Trek, Firefly and Farscape.
Favourite movies include Star Wars, Serenity and Transformers.
I get every single roleplaying joke in Unforgotten Realms.
I get quite a lot of the physics/science/sci-fi jokes in The Big Bang Theory
I get every single reference in the Voltaire song "The USS Make Shit Up" and find it funny because it is true.
I have a three and a half foot tall Metroid Prime poster and a Zelda: A Link To The Past poster.
I'm in RPGSoc, Sci-fi soc and Anime soc at uni (and general secretary of anime soc).
I have emulators on my computer and still play loads of retro games.

Despite all that it's not that obvious that I'm a total geek to those who haven't seen my desk, walls, hard drive, dvd collection, book collection, gaming habits or certain t shirts. And I don't wear glasses either.

[Zallest]

Nerd Qualities or things I've done... well there are many breed of nerd. I'd think i am a bit of a Otaku as well as Nerd

I'll start off with the fact that i am sad there are no real stores i could find around my area and no friends to help me with getting into things like D&D and role playing games. I would have loved to give them a try just never had the resource to do so.

*I often think their is no problem that can't be solved by a drill~
*I borrowed my friends D20 to spend half a day rolling to do common every day actions, rolled a 20 to see if i was going to wash the dishs..
*I role play in net games a bit
*I'll often be caught saying anime phrases and love maid outfits
*I have a pokemon card in my wallet behind my License, it is Porygon
*I once dressed up as a mudkip for halloween then went to a Convention in the same costume
*My favorite Rock Band song to sing is Conventional lover
*Picard is better
*I weigh down all my manga when I'm done reading them so they reform a bit and remain in a more mint condition
*I've tried to polymorph my friend when he was annoying me
*My friends call me by my avatars/net handles not my real name
*I went to Best Buy in Xbox PJ bottoms and a pokemon hat once (Don't ask about the hat, it's not mine)
*My Ipod has over 20 Anime songs on it, includes the entire track to Gurren Lagann

Much more if i sat here and thought about for a while..
