You know you're a Nerd when.......

[Musette]

You know that you're a nerd when over 85% of the songs on your media player come from video games, 10% come from percussion music, and the rest is just miscellaneous.

I've definitely felt like a nerd when I've said phrases like "I have a vibraphone/marimba duet stuck in my head," or "this timpani concerto is just so damn catchy!"

Oh, and not to mention that I can discuss a 17 minute Chrono Medley for considerably longer than the actual duration of the piece.

(This medley, to be precise)


Oh, and I'm also infamous among my friends for knowing an obnoxious amount of information about the history of the video game industry.

 

[triggrhappy94]

...Feel an impulse to download and install Speccy onto every computer you touch just because you're curious about the rigs specs.

is that a thing that finds out the computers specs?

cant you just do that by going into "run" and entering Dxdiag or somthing like that? (please dont yell at me if Im wrong)

Haha nah I'm not gonna yell.
I actually just ran Dxdiag because I've never heard of it before.

From what I can tell Dxdiag tells you:
BIOS, OS, RAM, and DirectX version, along with some other information that isn't very important.

Speccy along with some other programs like it tell you:
OS, the name of you CPU, the number of cores, the number of RAM slot you mobo has, how many RAM cards are plugged in, the name and size of your RAM cards, name of your mobo, the name of your graphics card, etc etc etc. It goes into great detail.

Half of you guys are weaksauce.

...When you can't play Game of Thrones with a certain group of friends anymore because you all know each other so well it just becomes a very complicated game of rock, paper, scissors.

...When your Munchkin deck can overpower a 6-deck shuffler and needs two Boxes of Holding.

...When your favorite movie is Armageddon and you can defend it.

...When you have a custom Battlestar Galactica Loyalty Deck.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think I'm a Geek as determined by the Venn Diagram of Nerdiness. I don't really have a problem with social ineptitude... Lotta dorks in this thread.

 

[krazykidd]

You know you're a nerd when you define being a nerd though a Venn diagram.

Yeah...

Awsome i'm just a dork . Wait ... Thats worst no? Dammit , i better start gaining intelligence , anyone has a +10 to int t-shirt they can lend me?

OT: you know your a nerd when , you can recite your world of warcraft toons rotation by heart and on the fly , and able to explain what each of them does.

 

[El Dwarfio]

I'ved had several dreams about what im going to do the next day in Dwarf Fortress...

 

[game-lover]

You know you're a nerd...

when you've memorized the theme songs to plenty of popular shows... past and present.

or when you write fanfiction and participate in Cosplay--visit cons.

when you make it a point to compare the movie version of books and vice versa to pick out changes and get pissed when the changes are bad.

when i 'm late for something, i will audibly cry "keelah!" (mass effect)
when i'm given a difficult task i'll have to restrain my self from saying: "in the name of kane!" (command and conquer, tiberian series)
i say "frak" as an alternative curse

and that's just the start

edit: i know the march theme to the brother hood of NOD. all 3 mins of it.

Keelha? Im not sure what it means but it sounds like part of their greeting thing "Keelha sah-lie" or however its pronounced

I think "Boshtet" its like a stan in for bastard.....which seems more apropriate

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

When you Tell Call of Duty and Battlefield war stories with friends at lunch.

(Which is weird since I eat lunch with the group some people call "Jocks" even though I am openly nerdy.)

 

[Korak the Mad]

When 75% or more of your music library is composed of videogame soundtracks and remixes.

When you can discuss political or religious issues, and use movie and game references to prove your point.

When you can discuss on how to beat a videogame or how to achieve 100% before the person who introduced it to you to game has.

When you spend over a half hour trying to figure out which Magic the Gathering card in your deck perfectly describes you and your friends.

When you discuss with your friends which videogame character each of you would be, based upon your personality.

When you bring over your entire Magic the Gathering collection with you to school or college, just to trade for a few cards (I've actually have done that a few times).

 

[michiehoward]

When your tenants come into your office and asks you how you Skyrim save is coming along.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

You know you're a nerd when:

You know who voiced a certain character in a cartoon/anime/video game, and what other characters they've done.

 

[Lord Kloo]

When you realise you can explain the entire Horus heresy from the beginning betrayal to the death of Horus.. and can also explain the entire back-story and explain the idea of the warp to someone who has never even entered the Warhammer 40,000 universe..

+ when you get royally riled when someone suggests that some other universe could possibly beat the 40K universe, except maybe MLP..

keelah on it's own is a stand in for "dammit!"

 

[Knusper]

You've actually tried to use Jedi mind trick to get out of a sticky situation.

 

[Von Dean]

Draw MTG cards on the noticeboard in the kitchen...but change them so all the cards represent your shopping list

 

[Lederin]

1) When you sit with your boyfriend and his brother's having a 'Houses of Westeroes' quiz (Name, Sigil, Colours, Words, Seat etc) and win by knowing the sigil and words of the Westerlings...Saddo

2) THIS!

you can pick out obscure references and charachters to stuff you havnt even SEEN before

3) When the sight of D20 with a tiny D20 inside it makes you happy for a wekk, and you pay £1.40 for one dice http://www.gmdice.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/r/p/rpg-battle-dice-double-d20-d6-in-a-circle.jpg

 

[Carl The Manicorn]

Seriously: You know you're a nerd when the girl in your class asks you for help on the art project you have that revolves around movie posters. Primarily Indiana Jones, Star Wars, etc.

Also, I once had a girl in my class tell me I was too old for Batman. I asked her if she was too young to be spreading her legs.

Win.

You know you're a nerd when you catch yourself singing the Firefly theme randomly throughout the halls of your school.

"Take my love, take my land, take where I cannot stand..."
