x1yyz Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I am a nerd. I love science and medicine, I still play D&D, and I listen to Rush. I read all the time, usually fantasy stuff or nonfiction. I'd much rather spend time in a bookstore than at a sportsball game. I have no idea who most of these celebrity people are. Intelligence is sexy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 D&D/Tabletop gamesScience Fictioncomic booksFormerly, (for the brief period it took me to realize a heroin addiction would be cheaper): Warhammer 40 000Robotics (you'd be surprised how easy this is to get into financially and knowledge wise)Video games. Now more than ever I'm into strategy games ranging from mindless DPS games like Starcraft to grand strategy games like Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings and Civ. For a second I thought I might have posted this except for the robotics and the video games you played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was a nerdy child (now a nerdy grownup) who had plenty of time on my own. When I reached my adolescence I turned away from it, because being a geek didn't attract the girls. I'm going to have to call complete BS here in regards to your self proclaimed nerdliness. A true nerd would never forsake his nerdocity for something as nonsensical as chasing tail. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikenrooster Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Maps. I could look at an Atlas or globe or trail map or subway map all day. I can't remember anything, but I have found myself looking at streets in towns and cities across the world, on Google Maps that I'll never see. I think Big Bang Theory is cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I have no nerdy interests. All of my interests are bloody brilliant! :) Bloody marvelous, sir! :cheers: ;) Well, OK, I think I may have thought of one. Genealogy. I don't know many people under the age of 70 or so who know much or care much about their ancestry, family history, etc...I'm fascinated by it, myself.

Blue J Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Maps. I could look at an Atlas or globe or trail map or subway map all day. I do that, too. All right...this thread now has me coming to terms with the fact that I am still, in fact, a dork. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another nerdy map thing I sometimes do it check out neighbourhoods in cities I used to live in, and "walking around" in street view. But, totally, from staring at our family's atlases as a kid to losing hours poking around Google Maps for no specific reason I wholeheartedly agree. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anima Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I tried translating "1-0-0-1-0-0-1" into binary code to see if it was an interesting number, but it only adds up to 73 which is not significant as far as I know.However - if the android said "1-0-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-0-0" it would be saying "2112". Just thought you nerds would like to know that.Or maybe Rush would like to play the song next time with a few extra zeroes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesomeness!! :) http://i59.tinypic.com/126bjiq.jpgI had friends that were really into it. I played a couple of times, but lost interest. These guys did things like actually stop the game and rest because their characters were tired, or actually meditated to rebuild their cleric's strength. That just felt weird.

Steevo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) ^^^ Well that is plain weird, sorry about that. Thankfully I fell into a great bunch who were perfect - Uni types who treated it professionally but liked a laugh as well and made time go very quickly. It was good they were like that or it might've given me the wrong impression at a much younger age. I never felt I had enough of it. When that chapter drifted away I never found the same dynamic again. It broke up all too soon, at least for me.

Just thought you nerds would like to know that.Or maybe Rush would like to play the song next time with a few extra zeroes.73 73 is the twenty-first prime number. Its mirror, 37, is the twelfth and its mirror, 21, is the product of multiplying 7 and 3…. In binary, 73 is a palindrome: 1-0-0-1-0-0-1, which backwards is 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Check out this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/73_%28number%29 I am fully aware I'm a geek. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in a way it still says 2112, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
