PROVE YOUR NERDINESS!

[ReverendJ]

I turned down sex for a tabletop 40k game. I believe I win.

In math class, our teacher asked us to turn to page 404.

A friend and I then spent the next ten minutes proclaiming that the page couldn't be found.

Maybe my nerdiness isn't as extreme as other people here, but my friends generally acknowledge me as a nerd. I have gaming merchandise seemingly everywhere I look, like my Master Sword and Hylian Shield hanging on the wall, the Gears of War Lancer sitting in the corner and the Mirrors Edge bag which I use for shopping. I also have a couple of plush mushrooms, one being a power-up mushroom and the other being a 1-Up mushroom.

Probably the crowning jewel of my nerdiness is the trunk against my wall full of old games consoles like the NES, the iQue and several variants of the Game Boy. Collecting old/rare games and consoles is my part-time hobby as it does tend to get quite expensive.

I'm going to answer this in the form of a reply to a TalkRadar question of the week. (PS: It was read on the podcast)

I was in class, a life skills class in high school, one of those "don't do drugs and be yourself" classes. That is mandatory.

So, they showed us a video where a (I hope) made-up kid used his dad's credit cards to buy WoW (cleverly disguised as "Worlds of Warfare", thanks, lawyers) gold and weapons and it got stolen or something and the kid was confused. The kid was clearly dropped on his head or something, but that's not the point. The teacher then inquired as to whether "Worlds of Warfare" was a real thing, and someone in my class said that it was probably just World of Warcraft in disguise. My teacher then asked if anyone had actually played it, and I foolishly raised my hand, the only one in the room of about 25 teenagers.

Unfortunately, the nerd inside got the better of me, and I spent the remainder of the lesson (an impressive 20 minutes) talking in what I would call too much detail about World of Warcraft and it's various nuances. I discussed the currency, the auction house, player groups, guilds, you name it. At least, I tried to over the laughter.

So thar we have it. The question was "What was your nerdiest moment?", so I think it's fitting.

My school was thankfully much more nerd friendly, one student asked how many points a certain assignment was worth and my friend shouted it's over 9000!!! (mind you, this was before it was a popular online meme) and at least 40% of the class got the joke (class of about 35)

Didn't go to a single party/social event my entire high school career.

I collect replica swords, play video games all day, work with computers all day, cosplay at conventions, and other stuff I can't think of right now.

[TriggerHappyAngel]

I own a Cloud Strife coffee mug.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

I own 3 editions of the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird", 2 007 t-shirts, and a Darth Vader mask supposedly taken from the same cast as the original.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

"Frak" is an integrated part of my vocabulary.

 

[Sebenko]

I built my own PC.

And my boyfriend is a comic-book reading D&D player. I'm sure there's a joke in there. Something about penetration and rolling for damage. But it's late and I'm lazy.

 

[gigastrike]

I once corrected someone's pronuciation of a Final Fantasy character's name.

 

[unoleian]

An (almost) complete Adult Swim DVD collection, an obsession with Cowboy Bebop...uh, every Pink Floyd album evar(!) and about three shoeboxes packed with Magic cards.

Oh, and obscenely large stacks of fairly ancient PC games and a few dozen PS2/360 games...

A complete AD&D 2nd edition (the best, period!) manuals, with DM and Player's guide, full Monstrous Manual, a book with damn near every spell ever, Deities and Demigods, and two Encyclopedia Magicka, several campaign box-sets...

Uh...a small collection of plush monkeys...

That's all I can think of right now. More than enough, I think.
