Haven't been called a nerd in a while, but my wife calls me a dork regularly for my corny sense of humor. Does that count?

I looove Doctor Who, Torchwood, Supernatural, Firefly, Mystery Science Theater 3000, and so much more. I play a lot of Sims, Minecraft, Don't Starve Together, RimWorld, Banished, and Diablo III. I read books and comic books when I can, but it doesn't happen often because I have a 5 year old that interrupts every 30 seconds.
I love the sims. I have lost count on how much I have spent on the sims 4. I have loads of PS2 sims games also.

Seeing a lot of Star Wars on here, which begs the quedtion: Favorite Star Wars movie, and why?
Mine is Return of the Jedi, mainly for the space fighting scenes and the fight on Endor. Thought my all time favorite scene is Kenobi and Qui Gon against Maul.0 -

I agree with Jedi, partially because it’s cool to see Luke as a Jedi Knight in Jabba’s palace and partially for the three story weaving of the climax.
I’ve always felt the prequels could have gotten from A to B in a much better story involving Anakin fighting for justice in the Galaxy at a dark cost and his love for Padame being fueled by their ideals0 -
Skyrim, Dragon age, Miyazaki, Labyrinth, and many others. I like music, art, video games, Movies, graphic novels, and all things fantasy. Trying to lose weight and get skinny again! And make some friends along the way!!2

Am I still a nerd if I haven't seen one all the way through? 1 -

Have you seen any of the Harry Potter movies all the way through? If you have, then yes, you are still a nerd.1 -

Does reading all the books count? I can't remember ever watching the movies. I'm beginning to think I may really be more a geek than a nerd.1 -

Reading all the books counts. You might be a geek if...that could be a whole new thread. It's the dork version of "you might be a redneck".1 -

As a kid I was a huge ROTJ fan, as I got older I could appreciate the character arcs and plot twist in empire more and more. No doubt I'm a bit of a hipster when it comes to Star Wars but the prequels don't get enough credit for reaffirming the franchise's place in mainstream culture and providing the best on-screen lightsaber duels to-date.
For those who've not seen them, I'm a big fan of what's known as the "Machete" order. It effectively portrays the prequels as a flashback between Empire and Jedi, improving the story-telling. I tacked on the recent four movies in the appropriate order as well but they're not crucial to the complete story told by the first six. Bonus points if you have access to the theatrical cut of the original trilogy, most readily found as a special feature on a certain release of the DVD, unfortunately not part of the BluRay set:
- Solo (optional)
- Rogue One (optional)
- Episode IV
- Episode V
- Episode I (quasi-optional)
- Episode II
- Episode III
- Episode VI
- Episode VII (optional)
- Episode VIII (optional)1 -

and my dog looks like dobbi
Of course Harry Potter stuff is cool - who wouldn't buy it? Is your dog's name Dobby? If it is that is totally worth bonus nerd points. Tell me about your science fiction knowledge.2 -

he does respond to dobby, I do it to him all the time lol. but no that's not his name, though its easy to change it
im a casual sci fier- I like lots of movies like pacific rim, Prometheus, transformers, etc etc [/quote]
Ummm, I would catagorize those at BroScience Fiction movies. Those don't really count. But I'll give you one nerd point for a dog that answers to Dobby and an extra because dogs are awesome.1 -
Will_Workout_for_food wrote: »loool so what counts?
"Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" counts. "Star Trek" counts. I'd even throw in "Star Gate". Lord of the Rings Trilogy - not science fiction but definitely nerd worthy. There was a time when anything Marvel or DC would count but now they're too mainstream.
I might give you a few points for Pacific Rim because, well, Charlie Hunnam - not a geek but such a beautiful specimen. In fact, I would give you points for Thor because, well, Hemsworth - how does one family have such amazing genetics? They count because if I met them in real life, I would act like a geek.2 -

omg is that the light saber VR game u play? if so I saw it at best buy and I wanted to buy it just because. but im also sure I would destroy my house with that from swinging everywhere
Yes!!! You don't need much space. Probably 1.5-2 arms length in any direction. It's so much fun and it's done amazing things for my processing speed. I seriously get a really good aerobic workout with it because I use my whole body and a lot of effort. My son takes the lazy way out and just t-rex's it and only uses his wrists. The official game only comes with a handful of songs, but you can download tons of community made songs through a site called Beat Saver. Someone did the Star Wars Cantina Song and Bad Lip Reading's Seagulls song - two of my favorites.
Edit - I actually started a thread about it, but no nerds heeded my call.

Well I love Harry Potter and excel but I think that's about the extent of my nerdiness. I really don't like most marvel movies, and I HATE Star Wars. Annnndd I'm leaving this thread now.0
