Outside of lame answers like my laptop, PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita, Gameboy Advance, etc., I'm not really sure. I don't have any collectible items. My dad has a few things, like a Garfield telephone, but you know, not mine.

So, disregarding all of that, I guess I'll just go for the thing I'm most proud of owning? Which would be this:



I guess to achieve the "geek" side of this, for anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's a left-handed Epiphone SG, G-310 model. A pretty cheap but meaty guitar, with a nice crisp sound.

Mmmm, I guess the easy way to do this is just list a bunch of stuff I have an let the reader decide because I don't think any of it is geeky at all. It's just cool stuff.

Warhammer 40K Necron Battleforce MKII.
Couple packs of Northern Forces Heavy Gears.
Hatsune Miku Nendroid.
Tohsaka Rin Unlimited Blade Works 1/7 pvc figure.
6 Miniature MLP: FiM figures.
4 Standard size molded MLP: FiM figures.
5 MLP: FiM figures that have brushable hair, I've only gotten around to styling 3 of them to look like the show.
Almost all the Nana manga.
All of the English released Dance in the Vampire Bund Manga.
All of the Rozen Maiden manga.
A Death Note.
A Slayers anime VHS box set that I haven't actually watched.
A Minish Cap.
Some old Crazy Bones.
Random Video Game Collector's Edition. Skyrim the most notable of. Yay Dragon statue.
A PSP go that I purchaced day 1? (I can be dumb sometimes, I have a right.)


I dunno. That's everything I can think of right now.

I own a lamp in the shape of a dragon perched on top of a mound of crystals with a badass looking sword stuck in them.

A slowly growing collection of science-fiction literature, currently working on completing the Dune and Foundation series, acquiring other titles and authors along the way.
Rather difficult to find them for a easily manageable price.

I'd probably have to say a replica sword from gladiator, the one in the beginning battle scene... that or a massive pile of retro consoles xD

Not sure what qualifies as "geekiest" since i don't have anything "hardcore geek" like replica weapons or stuff.

Let's try:

A pin-up style Raving Rabbids Calendar: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.de%2FRabbids-Wandkalender-2013%2Fdp%2F3833224770&ei=GTTtUNyMEejb4QTcnYC4Bg&usg=AFQjCNFPTWbRVJ962ef8Y45iwxKa_NF37w&sig2=jU-svekt67yKQNGERQXRhQ&bvm=bv.1357316858,d.bGE

A plush Vortigaunt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vortigaunt_%28plush_toy%29.jpg

A copy of The Sandman: Endless Nights, signed by Neil Gaiman

Figurines from various recent Limited Edition Games, like
- Black & White Arkham City Batman: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qfp2CGMdSnE/TiYsKeMml7I/AAAAAAAAD1M/TcxPKOANGrY/s1600/arkhamcitycollector_statue--article_image.jpg
- Far Cry 3 Vaas Bobblehead: http://p.twimg.com/A1EA1bFCEAAzywy.jpg:large
- A stylized Agent 47 Vinyl Statue from Hitman: Absolution (wich is pretty damn huge): http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t0n2cPuRTgI/T_WMs8BgmNI/AAAAAAAAAbU/TP2x7ApRuwg/s640/Hitman-Duluxe-Professional.png

A bullet shaped pen from Max Payne 3

A framed print from "Blade of the Immortal" (similar to this, but prettier: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/106/b/3/blade_of_the_immortal_wall3_by_amidau-d4wcr0t.jpg )

I like building stuff. I probably should have top coated the thing after I was done. Clear Red paint seems to still "flow" even after it dried. EIther that or I should use air brush or spray cans next time.

Hmmm.. where do I begin.

I have a talking portrait of Cave Johnson, an army of inflatable portal turrets and a little talking one.

3 A3x8 size posters of Vegeta and atleast 100 other figurines/doodads of Vegeta.

I have a custom made Masumane (6"1 long fold steel) aswell as a little sephiroth figure to go with it and a black materia.

There is a scale model of the Cerberus and Seifer's gunblade, I have 2 Kadaj replica double katanas aswell.

My adidas x star wars darth vader shoes, Swtor collector's edition, guild wars 2 collector's edition, the first 4 WoW collector's editions.

2 lightsabers, a death star planetarium (that shows the star wars universe), a lightsaber umbrella, the book of sith holocron edition.

Plushies of Eevee and all it's evolved forms, aswell as mew and mewtwo and.. well I think that's it, but probably not.

One of those things would have to be the nerdiest thing I own, I just can't decide which.

I suppose the geekiest thing I own is my little Ned Stark doll, who I have affectionately named Neddy. He's a parallel universe Ned Stark, who instead of going to King's Landing, decided he would come live with me. He's fastidiously tidy and honourable and I live in squalor and the only honour I have is sold to the highest bidder. We're a modern day odd couple, just with a lot more swordplay.

That quiz comment, reminds me of something from the other day (more like a couple weeks). I had a young lady come through my checkout wearing a Mass Effect hoodie, I asked her who her favorite character was and she told me she was sick of guys quizzing her. I replied to her that asking a favorite character wasn't a quiz, it's a conversation starter. She apologized and now whenever I see her come through my work we usually ask what each other has been playing etc.
I think there is a small group of guys who seem to ruin it for everyone else.
When someone asks me anything I have to try and figure out if they actually want to talk to me or are trying to determine my `fakeness` (and dudes who believe the fake nerd girl shit always think you are fake no matter what).
Sadly, I'm kind of automatically a little guarded when a dude talks to me about it.
chozo_hybrid said:
Does stuff like that bug you, like it did her? Because sometimes guys aren't quizzing, they just suck at making conversation. Mind you, mine was more obvious as a conversation piece as a test as there is no "wrong" answer to what I asked.
It bugs me when it's guys trying to trip me up, but I actually love talking to people about games IRL. Because I'm not someone who `looks` like they play games, my only real nerd-friends are usually my boyfriend's friends. However, I have to be careful when I reveal my nerd, guys have froze on me before about it.

Ironically enough, I had someone quiz me on Superman because I have a Superman shirt. He asked me to list a few enemies, what his real name was etc. Then I asked him if he knew the name of his birth parents and he got it wrong, put him in his place. Sometimes guys get it too, but nowhere near as often. This guy thought he knew everything about comics and was showing off to his friends, at my work, quizzing me as I stocked shelves... At my second job, a comic book store I work part time at. His friends laughed their asses off at him.

Wow, kind of went off on a tangent there, sorry ^^; I have two Arkham City shirts, the Riddler one is my favorite, I got one where the Riddler trophy glows in the dark, it's awesome.
Yeah, buttheads who think they know everything get really deflated if you turn it on them, but most of the time they're not worth bothering with.
I'll probably be buying more nerd-stuff in the future (after I finally get my new computer I've been saving up for), so I'll go back to wearing my interests on the outside and see if has improved.

If the Doctor had lead the ring party they'd have arrived at Mordor all together and only have taken one film instead of three.
EXCEPT when has the TARDIS ever bloody landed where the doctor wants it to go?
