    You know what, I nominate me... because I think I'm pretty damn attractive and I spent six hours raiding today on my druid and priest and paladin... and because I just spent 40.00 on eBay to finish up my modern Bant exalted deck. :( I can write you up an old-school website with HTML and CSS if you'd like.

    I'm the wrong kind of nerd.

    Sounds like you may have survived Diablo III , or my friend just chose a horrible server. The raid finder is overrated :(

    I have yet to buy DIII because I can't justify the money right now (I played the beta to death...), but WoW raidfinder is HAWFUL. The people are terrible. I was regular-raiding with my guild, thankfully, and then I did raidfinder, which is immediate grounds for "kill me now."

    I'm a sci fi/fantasy geek. GRRM, Orson Scott Card, Terry Pratchett, Niels Gaiman and Stephenson.... There's a lot of good books out there, and good television.

    Orson Scott Card anyone ?

    Boom - just got you nominated

    Please. OSC's only decent work was Ender's Game. The rest of his shiznit was virtually unreadable. Take it up a notch with some Gravity's Rainbow: "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now."

    Agreed Ender's Game was awesome - got lame for a bit, but then bounced back - did you hear they might be making a movie?

    I think you're the RIGHT kind of nerd. I bet you made all your friends cool myspace pages back in the day!

    It's been optioned for a while. But I predict a flop bc the reveal is too weak to bolster more than 60 min

    i think definitions of "nerd" and "geek" need to be laid out here. Because I would not have even thought of "gamers"...I think who's got the most books and knows the quadratic equation by heart, understands Einstein's theory of relatively, uses the word "mesopotamia" on the regular, and would rather study the latin names of plants than watch TV.

    ^^^ the math and science parts are in my court lol

    I just immediately identified as a gamer, but my nerdiness spreads through all fields: mostly my love of genetics and linguistics to the point where I plan on studying something completely useless like human acquisition of speech and language.

    A noble gas walks into a bar. The bartender says "sorry, we don't serve noble gases in here." The noble gas did not react.

    I'm a network administrator by trade, and programmer for fun. I play games (when I can) as well - and have been tearing up D3 co-op with friends. Loving Sci-Fi and watch documentaries about the universe nearly every night before bed. Bonus points: This is my bedroom... Anyone recognize? ;)

    It depends on the angle they will go for, if they are going to segway to Bean, they can probably get a good momentum/ending, or if they are going speaker for the dead, then it will probably not work.

    Hot damn, pick a topic and let me know the time and place so I could watch that argument. Fingers crossed that it's classic literature. SEXY!
