    Does anyone else consider reading text books entertainment? Into science art as well

    I'm a medical editor and would love to get into editing textbooks. My work involves keeping up with the major clinical trial publications and medical guidelines so my company can help clients with medical decision making.

    Oh also Hellboy, can't forget Hellboy, the library editions are a thing of beauty and look beautiful in my new comic book shelf.
    So are they going to make a Hellboy III movie or not? Please please please do!

    Also love Star Trek and Doctor Who, but my favorite is Babylon 5 (not sure about the 5th season though).

    Agreed wholeheartedly. I think the major part of the problem was not knowing if they'd be renewed for season 5 - they pushed the end of both wars into Season 4, and it threw the pacing of Season 5 off. Losing some of their actors didn't help either, particularly when there were no major departures since Season 2.

    Love Star Trek, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead and so many other shows that most would consider nerdy/geeky.

    I will actually be the terrible person to admit that I never could get into Doctor Who. I don't know why because it is everything up my ally. But the terrible acting of the 80s kind of turned me away. Other than the Van Gogh episode. Love that one.. For obvious reasons haha.

    No shame. I'm not a Whovian either. Get ready to clutch the pearls folks, but fantasy reading isn't my thing either. I have been attached to computers for 33 years now, and with my first professional IT gig at 13, I think I will still get to keep my nerd card. :)

    Such a nerd here that I run an MMO :P But I'm currently waiting for Blade & Soul to come out. Getting antsy for the CBT of that one. I only do computer games, not so much into console.

    As for Star Trek I own every episode of TNG, DS9, and Voyager (and the movies). As well as all of the Star Wars movies.
    OHMYGAWD YASSSS BLADE & SOUL. I've been waiting for it for so long. Thank god it is almost out! I can almost taste it but seriously. I CAN't WAITTTTTT! Currently playing perfect world ^_^

    Most of my books are medical text books. All different types. Also, I like reading the info packet that comes with prescriptions...I play a game that's guess what pathways and organs this affects/ or exactly how is this worse than the reason one might take it...etc. One of the worst/ scariest ones for me, was an antacid whose alternate use was causing miscarriage before iud implantation. With only 1 pill...

    I have shelves of psych books... that I started reading at 12, way before I went to college for it haha. I'm a Harry Potter fan and do a rpg for that. I love writing calligraphy, running, cooking, and scooping out the first scoop of a newly opened jar (of PB, mayo, jam, whatever...).

    I play Wow, have for years, but won't admit it. I played every version of Diablo and played Guild Wars too plus a few dozen others. I have worked in IT for 20 years. Everyone brings me their computer after they have it so filled with viruses it won't run ;-) I love SF/Fantasy. Not a Dr Who fan. It was just a little too quirky to grab me. I love most of the usual, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek & offshoots. So yea, I am a nerd!

    I like MMOs but I'm kind of retired now. GW2, WoW(since day 1) last one I tried was Wildstar.

    Mostly play quick sessions of Diablo 3 nowadays. Maybe play Heroes of the Storm again.

    Pokemon is wonderful! I wore my old Pokewalker into the ground. I'm currently trying to fill my Pokedex in ORAS. I'll send you a request. :) If anyone else wants to talk or play, feel free to add me!

    I'm not sure selfies are allowed in the nerd thread, but I'm hoping I get a pass for my HP shirt :) 😊6mlmcyvphh7m.jpg
