    I used to be a punk with an inner nerd. Now I'm a nerd by profession (chemist) with an inner punk rocker.

    I have seen every Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and every episode of Doctor Who since it came out, (I'm talking since the 60s) There's nothing INNER nerd about that.

    I have a very specific GoT tattoo planned. Just waiting on GRRM to finish the last books so I can make sure my theory is correct before I get it inked on my body.

    Is it gonna say "love no one cause he will kill them" lol :grumble:

    what ya got!?!?!

    I'm a video game developer. I'm expert level at nerdy.

    My devices are named things like HAL, and Bishop.

    I make beer, and will spend this summer, if time works out, trying to crossbreed two different strains of yeast for brewing use.

    When I do normal stuff like curing meats, I go overboard and research the hell out of it to find the most archaic, artisinal method to do it, so I can geek out on the information available, or lack of information, which allows me to experiment in a semi-controlled uncontrolled manner.

    I don't really play video games anymore though. Go figure. ;)

    ETA - oh and i'm drawing up plans for the creation of a long range quad rotor copter with long range capability and a packet sender that will give me a real time feed from the two mounted cameras, one regular, one IR. I'll be using it out in the mountains to scout locations for this fall's deer hunt, if I can get it done in time.

    Dude those are awesome hobbies!!! A do it yourself man!!! love it!

    I fix my cars myself..............I have NEVER taken any of my cars for a brake job. I once took a car apart just for kicks in summer. browke it down all the way to the block and put it back together. using a CHILTONS!!!!

    I also brew beer.....But I kinda suck at it :bigsmile:

    When I was 10, I trimmed hair off my dog and glued it to my face so I could be Obi Wan Kenobi for Halloween.

    I have gotten started watching Continuum this season and am liking it. I'll watch and/or read pretty much any science fiction since I took a sci-fi class in college. Favorite authors would be Philip K Dick, Dean Koontz, Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert, Arthur C. Clarke. There's a distinct shortage of sci-fi shows right now but I do like Warehouse 13.

    I'm also thrilled that the science channel bought Firefly because I often happen across a marathon. I have the DVDs but there's something nice about just running across it and watching it all the way through.

    I'm speaking on behalf of my husband but here it goes:

    - We have 800+ pez dispensers
    - 3 LOTR's swords displayed
    - He has a Cobra tatoo from GI-Joe
    - Our cats name is Tomax (also from GI-Joe)
    - Approximately 50 boxes of Star Wars paraphenalia, plus 20-ish more of other various collectables.
    - He is working on constructing a Storm Trooper costume
    - Up until he finally tossed them, we owned every issue of Toy Fare
    - Has a couple binders full of Garbage Pail Kids cards
    - I once found a box full of empty , albeit in perfect condition, pop cans by Coke and Pepsi that he considered rare (ie. Star Wars, sports, movie related).
    - He had a shirt made with the Mike Tyson Punch Out code on it
    - He and his buddies made a movie called Video-Bot about a killer VHS tape.
    - Played Magic (and has been known to bust it out when his best friend is in town)
    - We cannot go into a store with a toy isle without him checking if they have any new SW's figures.
    - We own the entire X-Files collection
    - We also own the entire Buffy the Vampire Slayer collection
    - We own all of the Disney Saturday morning cartoons on DVD.

    Needless to say some of this has rubbed off. I love LOTR's, Star Wars, X-Files, BTVS, and Roswell. On my own I'm a HUGE Harry Potter nerd, but my husband takes the cake in our household.

    I saw someone say they also named their 'objects' after things... yeah I do that too on top of my gaming (I have had nearly every system ever... even still have an original NES lol)

    My internet service I call the Batcave and that is also where I store my files, I happen to be a big batman fan, not gonna lie. I love comics and movies/tv shows made about them.

    I really want to finish my ME2 insanity play through tonight, finally found some awesome tips yesterday to help me get the reaper IFF which I thought was going to be a killer part of the game up until the last mission and that happens to be the next main line story step for me. I have nearly finished all side missions thanks to Mordin and Kasumi.

    It's actually going to be a blue rose surrounded by the phrase "Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris"
