What is the nerdiest thing you've seen today?

One of my mates brought into school, for a reason unknown to me, a Zombie Survival Guide. Kinda cool but odd...

This. Who the hell thinks a Zombie survival Guide is "Kinda cool" but a nerdy person?

Did you miss the "but odd..." bit? No nerd would say a Zombie Survival Guide is odd.

Today? It would have to be a guy in my history class who, I must say is a huge nerd, holds his arm up straight and starts waving it around to get the teacher to pick him. Everyone in the class laughed so hard.

I do that at times, I make hand signals and SOS kind of signals after awhile if the teacher doesn't notice me. Or if one of my (always) female classmates speak up for me.

My little brother training for Street Fighter, good lord.

The huge stack of un-used Magic cards that live by my bed. I should move them, but shuffling something can help me think when I'm working.

The guys painting warhammer in games workshop. I mean, why???

I worked on the campaign I am designing for WC3 today.
That is nerdier than just playing it.

Amazing. Playing people campaigns (especially when they are good and well thought out, is a lot of fun). I may hound you about that sometime.

I've been watching Street Fighter 4 tournament matches, ordered my copy of the game, and am currently looking for a suitable arcade stick for the PS3 to use with said game.

It's for my own enjoyment, really. I still don't know shit about triggers or skinning, so it's all very basic. If I knew or had the time to learn how to use the editor properly, I'd put in a good story.

Aha, I see. Well there are a fair few communities online that are dedicated to that sort of stuff. Some of the games I have show some excellent sequencing and triggering events. I guess it's all about practice at the end of the day. I certainly don't have the patience to learn it. Best of luck anyhow.

Either the Half Life "Full Life Consequences" video, or the several notebooks I keep by my TV to track gaming/achievement objectives.

 

[humpees]

Probably having Einstein quoted in my valentines card if I'm honest...

 

[new_age_reject]

Probably me scouring the internet for the correct bios to my emulator.

Watched Power Rangers Dino Thunder.

The contents of my Macs Hard disk as visualized in Grand Perspective.

This isn't my disk, just a picture to give you a rough idea of what I was looking at.

I wanted to move some of the larger, less used, files off onto my external Hard Drive to free up some room. In Grand Perspective you just hover the mouse over a nested rectangle and it gives its file path and disk memory footprint. The reason it was nerdy was the kind of files that I was looking at, lots of stuff on the design of obscure functional programming languages (Phd theses) and graphical user interfaces.

By the way I don't have my window controls looking like Traffic Lights, mine are a nice calm grey.
