    Today I'm a nerd because my profile pic is what I'm wearing to ComicCon tomorrow. Oh, and today I smuggled in a real (though not functional) chainsaw and got Bruce Campbell to sign it.

    You know, I'm still trying to figure out how you smuggled it in. My brain went to weird places.

    Today I'm a nerd because I made a list of amusing names today to name all the dinosaurs & other creatures I want to tame in Ark: Survival. I will shortly have a dodo named Miley Cyrus.

    OK: Today I'm a nerd because I just spent way too much time looking for ringtones/alert tones for my new iPhone (6, yay!)... including stuff from My Neighbor Totoro, Super Mario, Star Trek TNG, Doctor Who...

    Because I backed 5 kickstarter gaming projects this month including a super exclusive tier.

    This by itself doesn't make me a nerd but . . . I realized I love puns.

    I'm thinking of trying watch the entire Generation Transformers show in order over a few days, which is about 40 hours or so.

    I ordered a Captain Cold cosplay for an October con. This will be my first professionally made costume!

    (It is a former student of mine and I can't sew, so everyone wins)

    Wearing a Star Wars t shirt, I made a wand holster for my Harry Potter wand, I also worked a bit on my EVA Foam Death Eater Mask. I purchased two blank baseball cap hats to iron press Hufflepuff and the Punisher patches to them.

    Oh yeah and I also watched Doctor Who today and listened to my John Williams soundtrack track list...

    I bought, installed, and configured a wifi router for my son's karate studio because the 7.5/1 circuit is so hamstrung by the old WEP-only router they had they had that it would routinely only give 50 Kbps, when it worked at all. My $40 just bought me a much more pleasant three hours every week AND a free month of lessons for my son.

    Today I am a nerd because I am watching all of Angel, even though it's terrible. If it didn't have anything to do with Buffy I'd have been out of there!

    The Fantastic Four trailer looks like they strayed away from the original storyline.Nothing new these days I suppose.

    I'm a nerd today because I ordered replacements for those little foam blocks that came in sega cd/saturn, and original playstation games just to have them complete.

    Today I'm a nerd because I'm planning out my best friend's bachelor party, and the venue is Dave and Buster's (think Chuck E Cheese for grownups) because we'd all rather play video games than go to a gentlemen's club.

    I have never gotten a chance to go to one of those yet but I want to. After 5 nights at Freddy's I want nothing to do with Chuck E Cheese lol.

    Every time I'm bored and consider playing again, I remember the queues when a new expansion comes out... and the desire goes away, lol.

    I've been playing Witcher 3.

    I read Felicia Day's memoir yesterday, and tweeted to her this morning saying that I loved it and I could relate to a lot of it, and she FAVORED MY TWEET. And that made my day.

    I actually saw her when I went to Comic Con almost 2 years ago and it made me so sad reading her book to see that she was struggling so much at the time... you could never have said, she looked so happy then.

    I got tickets to an advance screening of the Attack on Titan movie! No one in my office understands why that should be so exciting :(

    Every time I'm bored and consider playing, I remember that they now allow you to buy a max level character, then I realise I can't be bothered.

    Love this.

    I watched last night's Geeks Who Drink episode and was glad to finally find a show I could have the answers to (well, at least a big chunk of them).

    Today I'm a nerd because I spent valuable time looking to find a Bell curve chart for wrist measurements.

    I bought Avengers reusable grocery bags at the supermarket. And got upset they didn't have any Captain America ones.
