    OK ok.. I'll step out of the Nerd closet.

    I've got an Ironman Bob Head.. I bought for me but gave my SO cause he's the one in an open relationship with his nerdiness.
    I've got a R2D2 statue I also bought for me but gave him
    I've got a Darth Vader led lamp I also gave him but is really mine
    I've Cosplayed and no, I'm not sharing pics.
    I've played dungeons&dragons

    I've been to not 1 but 6 gaming conventions.
    I've played WOW for more than 300 days in total.
    I've read almost every Orson Scott book
    I've read almost every Star Wars book
    I've watched Star trek so many times I can't even count it
    I've read almost every Douglas Adams book

    I actually own a bloody gaming company and we've released 2 mobile games so far. The third one is on it's way and I'm currently trying to find the motivation to finish the story for the fourth.

    And I bloody hell know that the answer to the life, the universe and everything is 42

    So there.. I'm out.

    You've read the star wars books? <3
    What's your favorite series?

    My current

    m4slxjbiijag.jpg

    It's like I've known you my whole mfp life lol...
    Your favorite, just current or both?

    Just current, I had one as a kid that was all about Boba Fett and his background but I don't remember the name but that was my favorite

    I've called my 5yr old son Boba since birth, probably never going to change...

    He's real names Jesse like me

    Aside from the cannon ? I haven't read much out side it but I like the Aftermath series and then I kinda loved Tarkin and Lords of the Sith :blush: what can I say, I'm into bad guys :P

    Bloodlines was interesting and it ties into the movies, which I enjoyed...

    Off the legends series...
    I've read all the Thrawn books
    The fate of the jedi series
    Crucible
    And bloodlines

    So 15 total...
    Although the entire foj series was on audio books :#
    Atleast they were unabridged :blush:

    Catalyst: A Rogue One Story was a decent read.

    The Thrawn Trilogy is in my queue. However the convert to Legends vs Canon really killed any desire to read more of the Legends material.

    If I could find unabridged audio versions of the new jedi order series... I would so go for it...

    I didn't like what they did with the legends series either but I understand why... What's the fun of watching movies where everyone already knows what happens

    That's it for star wars...

    But I've read all the Harry Potters

    And have listened to over 50 audiobooks
    Most are nonfiction but of the fiction...
    I loved the Night Angel Trilogy

    I haven't tried those yet...
    I did get the first book in the Wheel of Time series but just haven't gotten into yet... Gonna give it another chance though

    I'll try name of the wind... That sounds good..

    I also read the first book in the Age of Myth series... There is supposed to be 5 with the next coming out this summer... It was really good, can't wait for the next one...

    The night angel trilogy is pretty graphic but the story is epic...

    I absolutely loved Harry Potter too... The movies just don't measure up... Don't even want my kid to see them before reading the books

    idk her destroying the hammer was prob the stupidest thing i've ever seen and I watch Troll 2 on purpose every quarter.

    In the comics it was destroyed a few times but always reforged. Maybe he'll go to the axe?

    What do you mean, "make up for Thor 2."

    I really liked that movie. Much better than the first.

    Wasn't a huge fan of it. It wasn't awful though.

    I felt this way about the captain America movies. Could never get into the first one but I did like the second one.

    I really liked the first one..
    The part when he threw himself on the grenade was great writing
