Nerds Unite! Round 2!

My oldest had decided she wants to be the "Are you my Mummy" kid from Doctor Who for Halloween.

Awesomest. Kid. Ever.



Name: Himejii or Sabariel
Class: Physics
Rank: PhD Candidate
Goal: To invent a way to automatically log calories without all the... you know... logging. Oral mass-spec? Gastric calorimeter? I'll let you know when I crack that nut, I'll be retired on a beach somewhere warm but not too hot or humid.

Also love HP discussions, love Star Wars, Supernatural, Buffy and several more.

SUPERNATURAL. I found my people lol

I need some PC gamers here! I'm lacking decent friends to play DayZ and all with! I'm on Steam for sure and a few other sites. Tera Rising, Tumblr, GaiaOnline...you know all the great social/anti-social places.

I'm all for Doctor Who, Marvel, Hannibal, Batman (Joker x Harley), Comics, X-men...I'm trying to drive out the big stuff to hook some people here! Once Upon A Time, Sherlock, Orange is the New Black!

Still waiting on GTA V to appear on PC, along with Arkham Knight!

I'm AJ, 22! I play Dance Dance Revolution! I'm as much of a gamer as I can be!

You can also look me up on Steam. Just look up 'Hidden-Character' I'm the one with the Umbrella Corp Icon!

Agree completely, I love all the Zooniverse stuff, have taken part in many of the projects myself, I love the Galaxy Zoo one but the Planet Hunters is my fave, I love everything about exoplanets.

Yes I'm a science geek too (you have to be if you do a degree in Physics with Planetary and Space Physics)

Also Add to my list of stuff I love:
Charmed, Buffy, Firefly, Lost, Criminal Minds, CSI, Big Bang Theory, Merlin
Harry Potter
Sims

I totally have a complete base set and a complete jungle set (Pokemon cards) Kudos to anyone who knows what that means

ok so reading through the posts there is a lot of flexing of the nerd muscles so i reckon we could get a card game going with everyones strengths and weaknesses along with their nerd quota, like watching buffy gives you one nerd point but reading the Angel comics which shows what happened after the series end gives you 5 nerd points, and your total gives you your strength.... or something like that (im spitballing here)

just seems like people have a lot of info that they have shared which would lend itself to a card game to see who the ultimate nerd is......

I'm not a nerd.

Just here to see if anyone is on FitRPG. Will Wheaton approved. I just downloaded it last night and I'm looking for friends for my leaderboard and to battle with - need motivation. If you haven't heard of it - it turns your fitbit into a game - an RPG where you can level up, do quests, battle friends, earn gold, purchase weapons/armor/potions. My username is "Badger". Apparently they don't require usernames to be unique, so there are other Badgers. My profile pic is of me doing overhead press - grey t-shirt & pony tail.

I'm not a nerd.

I see some people with common interests - Hi! :drinker:
Since we're listing those.... I played (lived) FFXI for a while, loved it! Did WoW for a few more years...didn't love it quite as much as FFXI, but still enjoyed it. We have a weekly gamenight - MTG, cards, board games...we were playing games reviewed on Will Wheaton's Tabletop show for a while, but we started playing D&D about 3 months ago and put boardgames aside for a bit. We're playing Pathfinder now - the Ravenloft module. Haven't stopped completely with boardgames - just went to a gaming convention last weekend and tried out several new ones we hadn't played yet. Settlers of Cataan, Get lucky, Chez Geek, Build an Elder God, Axe Cop Munchkin. Had a good time, but missed the Star Wars themed LARP they had on Sunday...maybe next year.

Also see some Sci-Fi enthusiasts! Hello! I love Sci-fi. Firefly, BSG, Star Wars, Dr. Who, Star Trek, Stargate...even love the terrible ones like Terra Nova (I don't think it was terrible, but everyone else seems to) and...well, jury is still out as to whether it's terrible or not, but enjoyed Defiance...couldn't really get into the game though.

I also enjoy some Anime. Loved Samurai Champloo...that was probably my favorite one. Also enjoyed Afro Samurai, a bit of Bleach, HunterxHunter, Princess Mononoke & Spirited Away, Highschool of the Dead....

...not a nerd though.

Big Nintendo nerd and bowling nerd, on a Zelda kick lately, plan on finishing every game 100%, just beat Minish Cap yesterday, now working on Link between worlds and Wind Waker HD.

Hello, I'm Jennifer and a proud nerd :laugh:

Currently reading A Song of Ice and Fire, part 2 of book 3.
Have read Harry Potter several times, LOTR, Anne Rice...

Obsessed with the Harry potter & LOTR movies, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica. Another all time favorite movie is the Princess Bride!

I love gaming but don't have much time for it anymore. In recent years I've made the rounds of the various MMORPG's. I spent the most time on WoW, SWTOR, GW2, Rift and tried out TESO but didn't like it all that much. Oh yes, and I've also spent a fair bit of time roaming Skyrim...

Then there's oldies like Civilization III and the Sims 2 which stole much of my life.

I'm getting ready to start a new study year with the Open University (going for a Maths degree) so I won't have much time for my geeking habits but always love hearing and talking about it...so feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

Nerd,geek, dork....I'm all of those things! I love anime (tenchi muyo, trigun, his/hers, inuyasha, etc) , reading (used to work at a library), Star Trek, KPOP (that's right I'm a fan girl), I love supernatural, smallville, x-men , Superman (my favorite hero), LOTR, have read all the harry potter books and so much more....I use movies quotes a little too much in everyday life! I would love to go to comic-con one day!

Anyone on FitRPG? It's essentially the rough draft phone app that is the answer to all my nerd dreams. I spent HOURS on Kengo: Master of Bushido training my character...HOURS...maybe days, and that was for no tangible real world gain. With FitRPG, you link your fitbit to the app, create a character, and level up by doing "quests" (i.e., take 5,000 steps today, earn xx gold and xx experience points), fighting bosses - you can purchase weapons and armor and potions. It's free now and definitely in a beta stage. The three people involved in creating the app are trying to get funds to create more game content and expand the game. It's glitchy and light on content right now, but it's free and it's new, so that's to be expected. I find it motivating enough as it is. If they ever expand and add more content - this could be mind blowing. Will Wheaton uses it and approves, so...I mean...it's got to be awesome, right???

I don't have a fitbit but this makes me want one
