Geeky/Nerdy Guilty Pleasure

76tech

I've placed a calculus refresher book on a shelf in my bathroom. I've never even opened it, but I love fielding questions like "you seriously read that in your second office?"

of course i say yes.

other entertainment - terry pratchett and neil gaiman both pretty much rock. i'm sure there are others guilty pleasures, but i'm too much of a gentleman to list them here :laugh:

I circle typos in books.

I watch virtually no television, but the only show I *do* (or *did* - it just ended) watch is Chuck, which is pretty geeky/nerdy.

I miss Chuck already! :sad:

Oh, and my husband and I fought about Star Wars and Star Trek last night....lol (My hubby's game of choice is World of Warcraft, that I play at times too. My hunter is named Bufey....) Geek me!

i can sing every song from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. And do. Randomly. without much volume control.

I do this frequently, and at really weird times like while grocery shopping - people always give me weird looks.


While reading books, I highlight/circle typos in them.

I watch anime and listen to J-rock/pop and soundtracks at work.

Don't hate me cuz you ain't me.

This...well, the anime bit, not the rest.

Love me some romantic high school comedy romance anime! Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Ouran High School Host Club. Sooo funny!

I also like Dune and Dark Angel!

I've seen Kaichou wa Maid-sama. Host Club is a bit too shoujo for me.

Currently watching Another. :happy:

i actually looked up what jamie bamber, captain leland apollo adama in battlestar galactica, does for a work out, and have pretty much modeled mine around his.


yeah nerds, his characters full name is leland.

i just downloaded all four seasons of batman the animated series. i love cartoons.

I really like "Batman Beyond" I've had a thing for Terry" McGinnis since my late teens.... He is super hot.

i'll get batman beyond. i watched most of the episodes, and return of the joker was amazing.

I watch rerunns of old Frasier, Friends, Fresh Prince of Bel Aire, and Boy Meets World

ok, so i was watching the GI Joe movie this weekend (don't judge me, i wanted mindless and it WAS) and all i could notice was that the Cobra guys were wearing DS9 command uniforms. so then i had to watch some Trek.

i can sing every song from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. And do. Randomly. without much volume control.

i think that there is NO higher debate than comic debate. and i think i proved that point on here.

i do not judge you for Dark Angel. i do not judge anyone watching Jensen be pretty. thinking of, i need to order a copy of Ten Inch Hero... *wonders off to amazon*

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog is perhaps the best thing ever and I will break out in song and will quote it in staff meetings.

I have played World of Warcraft until I got bored with it.

Everyday before I get out of bed I have to see what the free app of the day is in the Amazon store.

Pretty much the only music I listen to at work is soundtracks to musicals.

I'll take my nerd card now

For me a little anime (love Ghost In The Shell, for one) and original BBC Being Human (like SyFy's too but it has a certain cool factor going for it) Would Game of Thrones be too mainstream now?

I love Boy Meets World. If it is on TV I am mesmerized.

I read the dictionary for "funsies" and can't finish reading something if poor grammar is used (I will circle all mistakes in red ink).

I've always been an avid gamer, opting for RPG's, and I religiously watch video game review shows.

Edited to include: I'm not sure if it's nerdy or not, but I own every single season of Medium and NCIS on dvd (along with several Adult Swim seasons), as well as ever since I was 5, if I can't get to sleep I'll run an entire Simpsons episode through my head (anything up to 2001 is worth watching, but it's all downhill from there!)

I put on my bowtie, braces, Harris Tweed jacket, and then sit at the piano with my sheet music of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer's musical episode, "Once More With Feeling" and "Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog" and sing to my hearts content.

I only wish that Firefly was on long enough for Joss Whedon to do a musical episode...don't care how it would have worked. It just would have...

Anyone laughs and I will so Sonic you!

I kind of want to date you.

You could always play Hero of Canton! I mean, there is a song for Jayne!

@nikolaim5 I belong to multiple "espresso brewing" forums.


Not seeing anything wrong with this!!! Coffee is damn important :drinker:

The devil is in the details. Brewing good espresso is a science, not an art.

A lot of guys ignore the laugh and that's about standards. I mean if you are going to get into the Evil League of Evil you have to have a memorable laugh. What? Do you don't think Bad Horse didn't work on his whinny? His terrible death whinny?

heyghoge

i roleplay. not the world of warcraft kind or the tabletop kind, but online text-based. second tier of fake shame: it's mostly fandom. i know more harry potter trivia because of this than should humanly be possible. third tier of actual shame: i'm in my twenties. (ok actually I REGRET NOTHING.)

PantalaNagaPampa

At least once a year I have to rewatch the same movies or series

Firefly
Black Adler
Farscape
Supertroopers

grimlen187

Anime, some jpop, star trek online (free to play now!), mw3, chuck, computer repair... no wonder why I need to workout
Currently watching: Another, Nisemonogatari

AmyM713

I play World of Warcraft and Starwars The republic, oh and am a complete Vampire/Werewolf junky whether its trueblood, twilight vampire diaries or the most recent vamp books I love house of night!!!

nikolaim5

I'm nerdy because I don't consider 90% of what I'm reading in this thread to be nerdy.

CSummers316

Dexter

Boondock Saints

WWE/TNA

Used to keep the boxes of Trivial Pursuit cards next to my bed as a kid, and would quiz myself late into the night.

Have only been beaten at the game by my mother -- the trivia geek master. I love her to death.

maab_connor

Video games are a biggie for me. We also just bought the entire series of Farscape and it's pretty frelling great. I find myself thinking about the characters throughout the day.

i fixed it for you.

Back in the day my warlock was legendary on my wow server. Seriously people would bow to me or Org because my gear was ridiclulous.

Its funny because I rarely got on vent except with my guildies..but before I did everyone assumed I was a dude.
For the Horde!

LOL you made me spit water out of my nose just now... my 7 year old niece has the entire thing memorized... she is so hilarious because randomly from the backseat of a car she will start quoting the movie.. the first time she did it she was 5 lol her dad was like "WTH is wrong with her??" I said nothing... she is just embracing the awesomeness of Dr. Horrible...

than she started singing the ghost busters theme... and her dad told her she could no longer watch movies with me because I was way to much of a geek lol
