Fill in the blank.

You might be a geek if...
When you see the name Starbuck you think of Battlestar Galactica not a misspelling of a coffee chain.

A corollary to that would be "...you ever put roadkill in your backpack because the skull was intact."

Funny, I never got asked out on a second date after that one. Curious.

In my bedroom alone (not counting the other laptops and desktops scattered throughout the house) I had 3 laptops and 1 desktop, which I also shifted back-and-forth thru my flat screen on the wall (along with the Wii, PS3, and 360). After my son's and my father's laptops both keeled over I gave some of mine away, so I'm down to 1 laptop and 1 desktop in my bedroom now. Still have the others scattered throughout the house though...lol

Not really into Firefly because my tv rarely changes from the Investigation Discovery channel (which may be a level of geek-ness all its own) but I do know what a reaver is. Creepy.

You might be a Geek if you snicker quietly when a friend announces proudly they just bought windows 7 and microsoft office!

You routinely compile software from source.
You think about replacing annoying coworkers with UNIX shell scripts.
You own a tee-shirt that reads "Go away or I'll replace you with a small shell script"
You try to figure out the largest square root you can do in your head.
The release of a new book by Dawkins, Pinker, Leonard Susskind, or Steven Weinberg is cause for excitement.

D&D wise - I played a Paladin most often (and actually in the screen shot above the character is a paladin), but I used to enjoy playing an assassin on occasion. I couldn't RP them that well - but man was it nice being an ass (chaotic neutral) to break outta the spell for a bit.

I loved Paranoia! The Computer *is* our friend. :)

I used to play monks a lot because, certainly in 1st and 2nd edition AD&D they were, pound for pound, the deadliest fighters at high level. Being able to *fail* a saving throw and only take half-damage was just too good a deal to pass up.
My other favorite character class was Paladin.

You get your Coyote Ugly Groove on while Playing Star Wars...

[Lady_Di]

You might be a geek if you play World of Warcraft and overwhelmed by the new expansion!

I am actually looking forward to the next expansion, this one just didn't do it for me~

but I will have all my toons leveled up and ready to rock and roll~


mebbe, cause I keep telling myself it is time yet again to just say no, stop already yet!

[thedivahrrrself]

If the release of this video game made you go EEEEEEEEE!!!!!

And, if you've ever considered donning the Leia "slave" outfit to keep a relationship alive!
:darthsmiley:

[thedivahrrrself]

If your dating application has a section on differential equations and/or quantum theory.

If you've ever dated someone only for their brain.

If you've ever used Bazinga! to indicate you were joking.

If Neil Degrasse Tyson and Stephen Hawking make your heart go pitter-pat.

If you would literally give your left leg to get on Richard Branson's spaceship.

If the word "exterminate" makes you think only of Daleks.

If you never miss an episode of Nova.

If you've seen the Chad Vader web series.

If you regularly quote The IT Crowd even though no one else around you has ever seen it.

If you feel vile repulsion for Jar Jar Binks.

Oh, I could go on for days.... This thread is making me smile!

[thedivahrrrself]

If you know that there must always be a Stark in Winterfell. :)

[Princess]

You might be a geek if you routinely find yourself in photographs with storm troopers, boba fett, or other random star wars characters. (including 3 or 4 different Vader's)

You might be a geek if you leave a convention, only to start the countdown to the next one, and refer to the time in between as *Convention Depression*

You might be a geek if you know who Codex is, and know all of the words to Do you wanna date my avatar?

You also might be a geek if you have extensive knowledge as to why playing ACTUAL dungeons and dragons is so much more fun then dungeons and dragons online (yet you play both)

p.s. i love this thread!

my favourite nerds ever!


http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/26/nerds-race-across-azeroth-irl-nearly-die-from-shame/


back in 2008 this was a written about my two fav nerds, by Justin Villasenor
*before wi, before kinect, before total immersion was but a dream held by a few of us, that wanted to get moving while we game*


"Apparently mice and keyboard controls just aren’t immersive enough for some people, as evidenced by the two guys in the above video. They show off the treadmills they’ve rigged up to control character movement in World of Warcraft, and for some reason they also decided it would be a good idea to cosplay as female Night Elves while doing so. Don’t ask me why.

Elijah and Aaron start off in Shadowglen and race to nearby Darnassus. Elijah narrowly won with a time of four minutes and fifty seconds. The two of them look pretty damn tired afterwards; maybe they should have used a more rigorous training regimen.

Once he’s able to breathe normally again, Aaron goes over how the treadmill controllers work: a mouse tracks a pad on a bicycle wheel that is spun by the treadmill. A scripting program then converts this movement into ‘W’ pulses, resulting in forward movement. He also mentions that while a WoW character has a running speed of 12 mph, they only needed to maintain a speed of 6 mph to get their Night Elves running. I guess a 1:1 pace was just too much for them to maintain.

Do you think a movement scheme like this could be a good way for some gamers to shed extra pounds?"


and most guys love to play female toons, at least over at Blizzard. My theory is because females are so much nicer to look at, especially kicking ass and taking names! And most guys are straight, if they are going to spend hours on end in front a computer screen, they would like to have something lovely to look at.

hot

[thedivahrrrself]

I might lose some geek cred for this, but I have actually never dressed up in character. And I've also never played WoW.

[ducking to avoid the flying collectors items being hurled at me]

Maybe one reason I've never dressed up is because most of my favorite SciFi characters are male, and you can't really be a sexy Dr. Who.... LOL Although, I have thought of making a fabulous silver mod dress that looks like a Dalek. (must. learn. sewing!)

I love all things space-related, though. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut. I even went through the Space Academy summer programs a couple of times at NASA. Good times... Now, I need to have kids so I can go back with them!

And I ♥ technology, except Apple. I hate Apple. [ducking again] Mainly because iTunes is the stupidest music software ever made (REALLY?? You can't drag and drop? WTF?!?!?!) Linux is beautiful because it harnesses the power of freedom; open sourcing is like technological democracy. I will admit that Siri kicks Iris's ass, though. Android will evolve to be better. It always does.

So, I have no idea why I'm writing all this, except that this thread keeps me going through the whole workday. Oh, geeks, how I love thee!

[Tawse]

I might lose some geek cred for this, but I have actually never dressed up in character. And I've also never played WoW.

Me either! I'm not creative enough to make a costume - and DragonCon takes place on Labor Day weekend - which is hot as hell in Atlanta. Oh - and I'm a voyeur I guess lol

As far as WoW - just never appealed to me. :)


And I ♥ technology, except Apple. I hate Apple. [ducking again]

Me too - but mainly because everyone loves it. I call them Apple Heads. :) Lovingly of course since my wife is a communis... eerrr I mean Apple Hea.... err I mean she's a lovely woman who I sleep with and thus mustn't upset. ;) lol

[trixie]

I've also never cosplayed. Or played WOW. But, I have worked at comic books stores and own way, way, way, way too many comics.

Way to go Diva.... Welcome to Super Geekdom!

Thank you, thank you. I have always been there, though I've learned in recent years how not to LOOK quite so geeky, it is always there inside.

I have a dog named Newton (he's no Einstein) and had a cat named Quark. And my big dog's voice (yes, I speak for them in character voices, shuddup!) is Marvin the depressed robot from Hitchiker's Guide. There is no hope for normality at this point.

You should have told her that 0.2% is statistically insignificant. LoL

I loved that answer on the test! Ah, life, the universe, everything...42. I always knew there was something fundamentally wrong with the universe!

Gotta go listen to my Douglas Adams audiobooks again. I like them better than reading because he narrates them himself!

I believe the lizard is drawn from the perspective of looking at a lizard climbing away from you on a wall. The arm is outstretched but is more outstretched-looking in this drawing. Such a crazy cool idea...where did it come from? Thanks for sharingg :)

Okay sooo everyone knows Vulcans are the mega smart, intelligent race, but they can be wrong occasionally. Well, Spock is HALF vulcan, HALF human. Because he is half human, there is more of a chance for him to be wrong.

When disproving someone logically it is best to use paper..even if its just to organize thoughts...

Make sense?

It did to me.

also I scored a %41.68 (Mega Geek and prouddd) <3


ALSO you asked about the symbol for lizard, and I found this image that would clear it up.

You might be a geek if Schrödinger's cat is dead. ^_^

#1 And how will you know, exactly?
#2 The Big Bang people are cooler than me
#3 I am in love with just about everyone on this thread

#4 I ended up with a minor in math only because I took math classes as my electives because I loved them so. My goal was to work through all the requirements to get to "calculus-based probability theory" (and I made it).

#5 And my favorite movie in the world is "Wordplay" about the New York Times crossword puzzle competition. Because that is exactly me, but I'm too scared to actually compete.

#6 Terry Pratchett is cool, but Rudy Rucker rules. And Melissa Scott is the ruler of the universe.

#6 My other car is a Ford Prefect.

You might be a Geek if:

You can name all the 11 Doctors in order, and tell how they regenerated.

You know why Torchwood exists.

You have over 1000 Geek points at ThinkGeek.

You have taken countless Zombie survival tests and passed them all.

You have impassioned debates at dinner over things like Quantum Physics, String Theory, Chaos Theory, Shrodingers Cat, the reason Quarks have weird names like Charm, Up, Down etc, and actually understand most of what Sheldon talks about on Big Bang Theory.

People at work look oddly at you because they don't get all the wording and terms you use, because only other Geeks would know them.

If you know where your towel is.

That made Valkyries so much more menacing," and you counter with, "Yes, but the Valkyrie leitmotif was supposed to invoke strength and justice and the presence of divinity, not a sense of kill-your-ass foreboding."

LINUX!!!!!!

You also know you're a geek if:

1) You have a favorite Linux distro.
2) You have a preference for Gnome or KDE
3) You decided you would buy a Mac once they went to a Unix kernel
4) You use Terminal in Mac OS X
5) You create workflows using Automator and AppleScript.
6) You use grep as a verb. (As in: 'Honey, can you help me grep for my keys?' or 'I was late because I spent 10 minutes grepping for my keys)
