I'm not really into comics, but I love the Marvel movies. I'm a die-hard tabletop game fan. Pathfinder, Catan, Dominion, just to name a few.1

Yellow was definitely good. The GameCube games were actually pretty good toohdrenollet wrote: »I'm not really into comics, but I love the Marvel movies. I'm a die-hard tabletop game fan. Pathfinder, Catan, Dominion, just to name a few.

Oldest system I got is a Vic-22 Commodore. Then of course NES, SNES, Wii, XBox, Xbox 360, XBone, mainly prefer PC gaming. EVE Online is my vice when my TBI isn't flaring up to the point of vertigo staring at the screen.0

Ooh I like this thread
I can't say I have any understanding of the anime/manga stuff, not that I'm opposed to it, I just never got into it. PC Gaming and science fiction are what I love, though. FPS, RTS, and RPGs for gaming. Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr. Who, Ghostbusters, bring it all on when it comes to Sci-Fi.
I've been fortunate enough to also attend DragonCon a few times. That's some crazy fun.2 -
Did you say Star Wars?0

WELL, I'M A DORK. GEEKS ARE SMART...lol!
comics (about to start The Walking Dead whisperer war), manga, anime...almost any animation really.
super hero movies and shows. Riverdale...go ahead and laugh.
games, obviously. currently going through Rise of the Tomb Raider (I think I'm close to the end) and The Last Guardian on PS4. Danganronpa 2 on Vita. Dead Head Fred on PSP. Blaster Master 0 on 3DS!
I love the walking dead comics! They are great, the whisper war story line is pretty good, it picks things up a lot because it's been petty slow every since the all out war ended. I am a few issues behind from being up to date. I have them here just haven't gotten a chance to read them.

Oh cool, I was struggling to find any groups I really like0 -
Love Stephen King (currently reading Dark Tower series again, always blows my mind), Terry Pratchett (cried at last book) and Wheel of Time. Also Robin Hobb, cannot wait for the Fitz and the Fool to be complete.
Love Dr Who, Xena, Battlestar Galactica, Anime (currently on Re:Zero and Kill la Kill and waiting with baited breath for Attack on Titan next series!)
Labyrinth, Willow, Princess Bride, Legend and Dark Crystal my most long running fave films, not in that order depending on the mood
Oh, and Joss Whedon is god!
Geek and proud!
Claim to geek fame for me is that I can pretty much name any Buffy episode from a quote/screen shot. I say pretty much as I haven't watched them through in a few years and may have had to learn more adult stuff regarding mortgages which may have replaced some of the more obscure knowledge. 
But twas always fun at parties to be challenged! geekery parties are the best!1 -

I'm an all around geeky sort. I have interests in comics (both traditional western and overseas imports, inlcuding manga), anime (used to be president of the club we had dedicated to the subject when I was in college), video games (I've been playing on some sort of game system since the Atari was relevant), television (sci-fi/fantasy/documentary are my favorite genres) and books (again, sci-fi/high fantasy/non-fiction are my favorites).
I've been a con-goer since around 2006, but have also served on some panels and have been staff at a few.
My "nerd" moments are more related to obscure and interesting trivia related to insects, history, music and crafts.
Nice to see other users on MFP who are of a more geeky persuasion. Was beginning to suspect I was mostly alone!0 -

Honestly I sorta thought I was alone too! I didn't know there were so many other geeks, nerds, etc here

Does owning a steel helmet like this count as nerdy/geeky?
Fun fact: it hurts if you try to head bang in it. I need to add padding to the inside so it fits more snuggly
Posted this in the wrong thread, wonder how it will go over there?1 -

I was considering buying a full suit of armour but that is way too expensive. Considered starting a Kickstarter/gofundme to raise the cash after hearing some of the silly things people get funded.
Heard of one guy who wanted some bats to salad for like $20, raised thousands and had a potato salad festival.0 -

It would be crazy and awesome to own a full set! Would you actually wear it out just display it?

Why stop at gauntlets? Go all the way out! If I ran into some guy dressed as the witch king just walking around day to day it would literally be the coolest thing I have seen. I would tell everyone I know about it and never shut up! Hahah
You guys have all the cool stuff! I don't really have any neat collectables, especially ones you can wear!
Best I ever did was dress up as Rikku from FFX for a convention one year but the costume is kind of lame because I didn't know about the con till a night or two before and then several hours before I found out I could get in free if I dressed up hahah (so he why not Rikku?)

any cosplay is cool! specially last min ones! I lack that kind of skill.
I did go to a mates comic book party as Spawn (complete with glowy green eyes) but that took around 4 weeks to make!
