Whats the neardiest thing you've ever done?

The second one aside, I don't think they make you nerdy as much as troubled...

I often think that I must save before I cross the road.

I guess the nerdiest thing I can come up with is getting up really early for HL2's release and playing the game in one sitting. Jeez was my mind disoriented after the ~15 hours of play...my state of my mind was fading in and out of reality/HL2 reality or something.


It was awesome :-D

one time i posted on gamedev.net

At university, I used to wake up late for class but think "I'll just reload later and get there in time" and go back to sleep. My flatmate apparently did the same thing.

I also woke up once very hung-over and found we had built a working intercom system out of a dismantled hifi and linked up 3 of the rooms in our halls of residence to it. We never found out where the hifi came from.

Time for the most obvious pun:

I JOINED GAMEDEV.NET! HA HA HA HA!!!11onehundredandelevnthousand

Actually, quite a few times when I have stuffed something up, just for a moment, just for a teeny moment in time, I have thought 'shit, I'll have to use undo for that', and then realise that I’m an idiot.

Oh, and I tried to hit someone with a mouse cursor who was standing near my monitor when they took my coke. I don't know why, but I just assumed that it would leap out of the monitor and hit him......it made sense at the time....

I got my copy of Halo2 at midnight when it was released, and finished it in one sitting. Two days later, myself and a friend clocked co-op on legendary mode in 21 hours straight of gameplay (only stopping for toilet, we had drinks/snacks with us). After that, I kinda passed out, and had Halo dreams. [lol]

I've also tried to hit someone with the mouse cursor, so you aren't alone Boolean.

Playing D&D seems to be a nerd stereotype. Especially since in conversation I sometimes refer to "failing a [whatever] check."

I once introduced myself as 'Dark'... [help][looksaround][embarrass]

i used to skip class to play Diablo 2
occasionally i blow off family/gf/friends to stay home and program
stayed up all night to buy a new hard drive on black friday
actually said el-oh-el or dubya-tee-ef

all i can think of so far...

I was seriously into Halo 2. I even made my friend a masterchiefmas card. On the night of its release, I queued up at midnight with my friend (who was buying it, since he has the X-Box). We approached the shop, it seemed all dark like it was closed- then a guy came up to the door, opened it slightly and whispered "Halo 2 pre-orders?". We were then quickly ushered inside where it was like some secret geek club; the air was thick with anticipation (and sweat). We bought the game, took it home, and played it until 5 pm the next day, at which point my friend had to go to work.

Another time I played Counterstrike on LAN with my mates all night (with the aid of some foul tasting energy drinks), to the point where I was hallucinating in the morning... every time I started to fall asleep I'd hear "fire in the hole!" and suddenly wake up.

I played Max Payne for 2 days straight (it was the best £35 pounds I had ever spent) and ended up trying to quicksave during friends.

Finally, there used to be a shop near by called Kwik Save which made me burst out laughing whenever I saw the sign.


edit: thought I may as well point out that I traced the grunt outline off a pic drawn by someone else. Not trying to pass their work off as my own or anything [grin]

[lol] And at the time, it just seems so right! Like there is no reason it should not work!

I was in such a hurry once I ironed my shirt while I was wearing it, which burned my nipples pretty badly. Although that might fall under the "stupid" category rather than the "nerd" one.
