What's the nerdiest thing you've ever done?

I made an Excel spreadsheet to figure out what order I wanted to buy PvP gear in WoW. I calculated this by figuring out how much I valued one point of each stat (Strength, Crit, Resil, Stam, whatever), then seeing which were the best deals per honor point.

I know stats are calculated in Pokemon, and I've trained Pokemon to take advantage of this fact.

I said lol-a-coaster once when my friend said a joke...it just slipped out.

I bought the Yu-Gi-Oh movie on VHS.

I was 13 years old and I masturbated to Rikku from Final Fantasy X. So uhhhh, yeah............

And then I did it again the next week.

And then maybe once or twice more after that.

Maybe even more than that.

I'm a sad individual.  :(

P.S. Other than that I have typical nerd interests (other than comics which I don't read, except for Watchmen), except never to message-board fanboy excesses, as well as a deep like for such things as game design, movie cinematography, classic film and 70's and 80's sitcoms. So, there ya have it.

Everything I do is nerdy.

I haven't done anything really nerdy that I could recall, not saying that I'm super cool or anything.

Just my mind doesn't want to remember that I am a nerd.

Yikes, that's a tough one. I think I'll go with the time I decided to make my boyfriend's faux white brick wall a little more interesting. When I saw the white rectangles, my mind immediately jumped to Mario 3, hopefully for obvious reasons...

I've done alot of "nerdy" things in my life (all 20 years of it).

1. being a kid and trying to play Mechwarrior 3 (honest).
2. owning all five seasons of Red Vs Blue on DVD.
3. owning the Megazone 23 DVD (all three parts).
4. I've always wished to one day find a good old arcade.
5. and after having found said arcade, I would spend most of my time playing Street Fighter ll.
6. I own the soundtrack for the anime Gurren Lagann.
7. I own both the manga (still looking for volume 4 as of right now) and the anime for GhostTalker's Daydream.
8. My favorite videogame of all time is (even to this day) Descent: Freespace - The Great War.
9. I have seen all three episodes of the anime Bus Gamer via the internet.
10. I watch alot of anime online on the internet (both subed and dubed).
11. I'am a member of this site.
12. I have been playing videogames since I can remember (that means from 8bit all the way to today).
13. and I'am a member of steam.


So as you can clearly see, I have led a very "nerdy" life. But personally I think its entirely normal (for me, anyway).

" I did a report in the 8th grade on how to become a Super Saiyan....Yeah.  My girlfriend of five years (just a friend then) was in that class.  I'm surprised I still even know her, let alone the fact that I'm dating her. "

I once went to a medical lecture with a friend of mine who was a med-student at the time.
I didn't understand any of it.
It was about our bonestrucucture and calcium hydroxyapatite and stuff...

Yeah, whatever.

I held the top spot for off-topic forum posts for the couple of days or so of Giantbomb's existence. Other than that, I moonwalked a fun run-fuck yeah.

Well, I'm about to post some deranged Shift-JIS art right here, so that probably counts for something.

Piss mah pants on a meeting.

"Biggest Nerd things:  I used to play Magic:The Gathering heavily & paid quite a bit for a few cards back in the day. "

I used to play imperial conflict the online game. If you haven't heard of it I can't describe how simple but brilliant it was.

" post on a video game forum :D i have to say waited in line for GTA san andreas. really only thing i can think of that was nerdy. your story is pretty badass. i went to see the movie with a friend of mine. i felt kind of weird seeing as there were a lot of kids in the theater. i use to watch that show all the time. i didn't get into the card game though. i don't get the newer episodes, that are on cartoon network. yogi isn't in the show. the other day i was watching it and they were dueling on like tron bikes.

I use to play Magic the Gathering with a few guys before school and sometimes they didn't like getting there asses handed to them by a girl so then i'd  have to re-play them after school. "

"Nerds are delicious! What do they put in those candies anyway?"

I see what you did there. "

"Posting on a Video game forum is pretty much me surrendering to my nerdy fate.I was seeing a girl a few years ago and I really liked her and I tried to get her to Watch Cowboy Bebop.... she got a "Real" Boyfriend soon after... She probably made a smart shoice"

You know what really sucked is going into a comic store to play a sealed booster tournament & having your ass handed to you by these kids who do nothing but play Magic all day long, all summer long.  That was back in the mid to late 90's when the expansions really sucked too. "

Shit I don't know, I do know that I've done way nerdier things than I remember having done...

I graduated four years of college with an almost perfect GPA. Got a damn B+ in wood shop.

I waited in line for Star Wars Episode 3, then fell asleep in the theater. :)

" When I was sixteen years old, I went alone to the movie theater on a Saturday at noontime for a showing of the Yu-Gi-Oh movie. Not only did I get a student discount for being in high school, but I also got a free promo "Pyramid of Light" Trap Card. To top it all off, I was by myself in the theater until these two moms, each with a son, walked in late during the movie. "

I did almost the exact same thing.  But I ended up going to the first Pokemon movie with a friend (we were both 17 at the time) on opening night to get the free promo thing and the theater was filled with kids and their parents.

I was also the sole videogame reviewer for my school newspaper.

Talked to my friends mum how my lifes amibition was to grow four arms like Goro and then rip her sons head off. I then showed her the movie 'Mortal Kombat'.

Not the best idea.

I was in a 14 day trial of Star Wars Galaxies and i wanted to join the empire.  i got into town but could find the recruiter so some guy ended up helping me find him.  After that the said something like "welcome to the empire, we don't get a lot of non human recruits"...  Then he wanted me to come see this "house" i said "why not".  As I rode with him in his land speeder to his house the shame of seeing a real role player set in.  I went and seen where he made ships and "pet" things... he said those tie fighter wings are not for sale, I looked.  Starting to feel uncomfortable i said i have to go to the starport for a mission (maybe i could get the role play off of me but blowing up some ships)  so he offers me a ride and i take it.  I get to the starport feeling weird I say "later" and jump into my ship and i see in the chat box "I launched my ship on accident" which i think was a lie. (you have to click through a few screens)  anyways that was the creepiest and nerdy thing ive ever done.  Dont go to a MMOers in game house!

" also referencing the endurance run, like in real life

"

I bought a Cloverfield T-Shirt, from Hot Topic, and wore it to school. Yeah.....One of the best reactions I remember I got was "Steve....are you wearing a Cloverfield shirt?" Me: Yeah... Friend: "Well stop it. Now."

I've also bought a Watchmen shirt and have worn it to school, but the Comedian looks badass so I don't care. I got compliments on that one.

I've also referenced memes in real life, and I know that makes me a horrible person. When one of my friends was trying to get me to smoke weed for the first time one of his tactics was telling me it was "For teh lulz". You could say it worked, but not right away.

When I was in 6th grade we had a project to make a kingdom or world of our own and make it out of anything, I made midgar.

While I'm pretty much a big nerd, I have the feeling that attending those anime and furry conventions might have been the top most nerdiest things I've done.

Urgh.

" When I was in 6th grade we had a project to make a kingdom or world of our own and make it out of anything, I made midgar. "

I have a rediculously huge collection of Pokemon, Yu-Gi-oh!, Duel Masters, Yu-Yu-Hakusho, and Magic the Gathering cards.

I'm still fucking pissed at how much money I've wasted on these things over the years. Nobody within 1000 miles probably even plays these damn games anymore.

The nerdiest thing I've done, at least on public, is making every single Economics class projects about videogame companies such as Sony or Activision-Blizzard. 

When I visited my friend in New Orleans, she and I named the species of dinosaurs in the box of dinosaur sprinkles she bought to put on our ice cream.
 
That's the most recent nerdiest thing that comes to mind.

Did you know the word 'nerd' wasn't invented until Dr. Seuss (sp?) wrote the word in one of his books for lack of a better word.

I guess building a computer is pretty nerdy. That and going to college for Computer Science.

I would say for me it was probably learning c++ for fun, on my own time.
