Your total nerd moment as a gamer

[TheButteryGoodness]

My whole life has been a dork moment. I started playing consoles at the age of one and a half, with my older sisters SNES. Since I was able to talk, I've been saying things from games and watching other peoples faces go blank. Now I do it for kicks, and throw in a dorky voice while I'm at it.

DUDE, same here!right down to playing my sisters SNES when i was like one.i thought i was the only one...(sob)
but the nerdiest thing I can remember is beating some one at basket ball and yelling "fission mailed, *****!"in there face.

Ignoring my naked girlfriend and explaining why some one was wrong on the internet instead.

I am half sure that really happened, or half sure that you quoted this [http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/duty_calls.png] word for word.

I half share your suspicions. The flaw in his story is that if he was nerdy enough to do that, then he wouldn't have a girlfriend in the first place.

True Nerds don't have girlfriends, just Final Fantasy Hentai & favourite socks....

I screamed "Landmaster!" at my friend as a response to a normal everyday greeting.

 

[tuglowz]

dude your talking about me and yes you did sing the tunes and i had to shut you up by threatening to kill your game ...... come to think of it i really should find it to give it back ....back in a sec (walks out of room)

Oooh loudly making a bad Warhammer reference to a quiet room full of friends including a certain love interest. Even the handful of my friends who did play Warhammer gave me scornful looks.

I got a no-damage clear in Melee's 1p Classic mode with Ness. Very easy difficulty, but actually managing it was anything but. Then I took a picture and made it my MSN DP.

Oh, me and my friends also make D&D jokes all the time.

But the peak of my nerdliness was when I described Operation Barbarossa in terms of Pokemon

Germany used Blitzkrieg!
Critical Hit!
Russia flinched!
Germany used Blitzkrieg!
Russia used Winter!
It's Super Effective!
Germany fainted!

Felt like a nerd when at a party i just stood in the other room and played Devil May Cry 3.

 

[Fronken]

So far none, but im getting 2x tattoes in a couple of weeks, getting Megaman on my right arm and the Hyrule Emblem on my back to symbolise my love for retro gaming and my childhood playing video games

All that I can say about this thread is wow....

One time in class, someone said Pong was the first video game and keeped going on about it. Across the room I yelled "Idiot, Tennis for Two was the first!" That came out a lot louder than it should have.

I told my friends "two face shouldn't flip a coin, he should use a d20 for more flexible odds." We just keeped adding on to that with DnD jokes.

I was explaining to my brother how procedurally generated textures and inverse kinematics worked and how it may effect gaming's future... while at the beach. I carved images in the sand to illustrate my points.

Magic the Gathering joke I use whenever I see a cool card: "I'd tap that"

I threw a Frisbee and it hit someone(who I didn't exactly admire) in the face. I shouted, "It's super effective!"

Making random quotes from games or comparing them to situations.
Playing Halo on every difficulty many many times.
Going to a party with bout 14 people, 3 xboxs, guitar hero, cod4 and halo, and being pretty much invincible at the games. Or laughing at peoples attempts at COD4 on easy and not completing it within 5 hours

 

[Necromancist]

I'm pretty well known for my randomness, so here's a few.

I once gave "It's either shells or SAMs. Shells tend to miss more" (Psycho, Crysis) as an answer to a question, though I can't remember what the question was, who asked it and when...

I can perform a perfect Hadouken, and freqently does so against my friends. Or random people in the street. And yes, I sometimes yell "HADOUKEN!" though it doesn't happen often.

Watching my brother faceplant and yelling "FATALITY!" at the top of my voice.

I can sing Still Alive, but that's really more of a nerd staple than a ringing achievement.

I have finished most Space Quest games (You know, the really, really old AGI ones).

Aaaaand probably a lot of other stuff I can't remember. Non-game related nerdy stuff though? I can recite V's entire introduction speech (to Evey) from V For Vendetta. I memorised it in one night. I slept 2 hours...

I guess mine would be cheering quite loudly in the middle of GAME when I found a copy of Final Fantasy IX that was within my price range.

That plus my happy dance, which is busted out upon completion of any difficult task, be it game/exam/whatever. Some of my friends have been privy to this and were not impressed that it involves kicking and air humping.

I was explaining to my brother how procedurally generated textures and inverse kinematics worked and how it may effect gaming's future... while at the beach. I carved images in the sand to illustrate my points.

All I know about procedural generation is that computers really don't have much in the way of imagination, as Oblivion proves.

You've got that right....
On a similar note, I realized that I've unconsciously committed most of that procedurally generated dialog to memory (Damn you, Oblivion!)-not my nerdiest moment as a gamer, but it's moderately high up there

It was in Maths class a few months ago. We were learning about changing recurring decimals into fraction I think. Anyway, our teacher was giving us hints to the answers like 'It's over 99" etcetera. By the the 'over' is referring to the line in the fractions. So we get to a question and our teacher says "I'll give you a clue, it's over 9000". Me and a few of my friends burst out laughing, and we got many a wierd look from our class members.

Me and my friend constantly quote video games. Anything from "You will be baked, and then there will be cake", to "Cheeky Bastard", to "that was a lot of people dieing at once"

The nerdiest thing I have ever done though, was when I tried to explain the plot of Bioshock to my mom in detail...

 

[jackknife402]

nerdest moment, probably right now, as I'm typing this in my other tab is a forum based rpg....

 

[mjkthedarkrabbit]

I went into a game store and bought a PS3 for the sole purpose of getting Metal gear solid 4 the next day
