I was fully unprepared for how big and immersive this game is, but I'm ecstatic about it. I doubt I'm even halfway through and I'm already planning a second playthrough.adramaticpirate wrote: »This. Is. So. True.
Especially with all the side quests they have you do now. Holy crap.0 -

However, I'm a big tv/movie/music/book nerd.
I Love Lucy, The Munsters, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Doctor Who, STNG, ST Voyager, and yes - I love Star Wars even though I love Star Trek lol. Supernatural, Psych, American Horror Story (all of them), The Originals, Vampire Diaries (guilty pleasure - I judge myself for watching it), Being Human, Heros, Lost, Brooklyn 99, I'm going to stop myself before I continue with tv shows then start on movies. Classics to musicals to dramas to comedies to action to sci fi to fantasy to superheros...I think Lonely Island would call me a "cinephile".
*stops self from writing more* Good day.
Musicals! I'm a nerd for them. 7 bride for 7 brothers, all gene kelly, etc etc.

Love love love Being Human (US version, never watched the UK)...and I recently made my kids watch West Side Story with me They were not as thrilled as I was, although I have gotten them into Star Wars and they liked the newer Star Trek movies.
Anyone else like the Clone Wars and Rebels?
West Side Story is a tough one for first time musical watchers. I love musicals and I don't want to watch it more than once. Try a comedy musical. At least they like Star Wars!
My 15 yr old niece never saw Star Wars or Ghostbusters. We had a movie marathon weekend and now she is addicted.0 -

I've been enjoying Rebels, it's a bit like Star Wars meets Firefly0 -
SkinnyGirlCarrie wrote: »Anyone else like the Clone Wars and Rebels?
Yeah! Finished season 4 of Clone Wars recently. That show really gets better and better as it goes. Plan on wrapping it all up in the next couple months.
As for Rebels, I'm almost current. It's alright so far; hard to judge yet. Before the show started, I read the prequel novel which was a good intro to the characters:

PCS are awesome as well. I don't have many games on my PC though. Can never get us to the controls that way. It's like multitasking with my fingers and for some reason that is damn near impossible for me.
Quite a few PC games allow you to use an xbox controller plugged into a usb port.
I myself am an avid WoW and LoL player.
My boyfriend would love you.
I play WoW, not LoL (yet? I'm being pushed to try it) I love HP, A SOIAF books, the GoT show, The King killer Chronicles, and I can go on. I love reading, I just started a Japanese steampunk book I have high hopes for as well.
I play support so that everything is my fault till the end of time. And its free so you can download it and play with no money involved which is great if you hate it.
I also love my kindle and all the sites that let me steal ebooks and calibre to format them for my kindle.

I am a book nerd plus I did a lot of gaming, played Travan for a year, but I had to leave, just was taking too much time, that game will take 24 hours a day 7 days a week and each game was a year long, they have shorter games now. I have a Big Fish Game subscription so I get games from there often, It is better time management for me to play a game that has an end.
I love Si Fi books, all kinds, I am rereading the hobbit and lord of the rings right now, I loved all of Anne MacCaffery books, dragons are wonderful! so many books and so much to read, I have about 8 bookcases in my house filled with books I can't part with, I am a book re-reader.
I also love doing quilting and used to do a lot of cross stitch, not so much now because of not being able to see as well, I spin wool and knit, way too many things to do in this world!0 -

Yes!! Welcome to the family. I'm a consoler. I have 7. But I'm mainly on my 360 right now.
I'm a Sony guy, but I've had all of them except the xbox one... I actually still have my Atari (was my dad's), NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast, GameCube, N64. :P
Let's take a second to talk about the awesomeness that is the n64. I mean, it just doesn't die. All hail.
I have clocked in so many hours on HM64. Anyone else a bit of an addict on HM?

"Conker's bad fur day". a classic. "Perfect Dark" was pretty good too...but due to that wonkey controller, I had to learn to shoot left handed.candacefausset wrote: »adramaticpirate wrote: »jasonmh630 wrote: »adramaticpirate wrote: »jasonmh630 wrote: »Even though you can't tell by looking at me...

Buffy and angel ROCKED!

"chaos bleeds" totally crashes when fighting Kokistos. pretty sure I might have probably spelled that name wrong. "the dude" Faith fights.0 -

I'm more of a book nerd.
But, give me a good platformer and I'm happy: Mario, Zelda, Sonic... it all makes me very happy.
I'm half way through Sword of Truth and starting Game of Thrones. I have so many books but just keep buying more.
SoT series is amazing. The tv series was ok. Season 2 was entirely too rushed and I disliked how they made Kahlan seem like a jealous whiny insecure girlfriend. But I liked the actress! I have yet to read GoT but I am enjoying the series (I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to the gore) but I have been handling it ok. I made some miniature dragon eggs a while back. They were so cute.
I have to add several things to my list of fandoms because everyone is mentioning theirs and I forgot so many until they got mentioned! Firefly, Marvel but Wonder woman is my spirit animal and I love Catwoman. I have a general love of fantasy and comic books but I also love retro styling so I often wear my hair in victory rolls and wear my superhero tees at the same time. I am a seamstress and clay artist so I am always making something geeky or retro or both. I have a thing about zombie culture even though I am highly afraid of them lol. Love the RE games. The movies are ok if you can separate them from the gaming universe. Also Evil Dead- old school. Because Bruce Campbell!
I'm sure I missed a ton though still...0 -
Ahhh fellow SPN fen! (And, for that matter, basically everything else.) Have you watched Sleepy Hollow? As much as I love Supernatural, the first season of Sleepy Hollow is basically everything from Supernatural done better.
Also, this whole thread is great. My son is named after Miles from the Vorkosigan series of books by Bujold. I definitely lean more sci-fi than fantasy, though I adore Game of Thrones. (Except the book that didn't have any of the characters I liked in it. Harrumph.)
Yes, started watching SH, got a bit behind, however will force myself to do a marathon. I have them DVRrd.
We have to agree to disagree on the bit about it being "done better"....
Maybe I should hit GOT books...That is what I need, more books, lol. I am trying to slog through Pride and Prejudice.
My anime genre is "demon anime".

if it's Stormdancer from the Lotus War series.... ugh I'm struggling. ive been trying and trying to get into that book. Such a great concept but i cannot keep with it, and I hate giving up on books. Let me know if thats the book, if it picks up later in it0 -
I am always amazed at the amount of "geeks" in this world that I can relate with. My view: everyone has a geeky side, sometimes you just have to find it. Haha!0

Hehe according to a quiz I did on brainfall I think it was I'm 78% nerdy. I'm definitely a science nerd (astronomy, astrophysics, quantum mechanics) I love to read and a bit of a gamer with a horror (if it gets my heart racing and I can't help but shriek then I love it) and elder scrolls addiction oh and also lego games, so much fun!
I love superheroes and I'm more a fan of the Marvel heroes but I also like a few DC ones too. I love the supernatural / paranormal tv shows and my favs are: Supernatural (the early seasons anyway not such a fan of the later ones), Dresden Files, Moonlight, Pushing Daisies, Almost Human, Sleepy Hollow, Once Upon a Time, Agents of Shield, Haven, Agent Carter, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Constantine, The Flash, I'm loving Gotham at the moment I adore the Penguin.
I also like a few animes my favourites are Death Note and Black Butler and my hubby and I have cosplayed as Ciel (me) and Sebastian (him) a few times most recently at Comic Con last October. I love steampunk too as 'adventure steampunk' and I got a very cool NERF crossbow that's been sanded down, painted and varnished so it looks like it's made from wood and it's like my favourite thing 0 -

I miss Pushing Daisies so much!! I was so sad when it got canceled.0 -
Oh me too. I was peeved when Dresden Files got cancelled, I nearly kicked the TV in frustration after watching the last episode of Moonlight and how they left it wide open for a second series and then it got cancelled. I didn't like how the end of Pushing Daisies was rushed and didn't feel right. I nearly cried when I found out Almost Human was cancelled (again leaving it open for an intense second series) and I'm really getting into Constantine but I know I'm going to be disappointed soon when it ends as it's been cancelled. 0
