Geeky/Nerdy Guilty Pleasure

I've placed a calculus refresher book on a shelf in my bathroom. I've never even opened it, but I love fielding questions like "you seriously read that in your second office?"

of course i say yes.

other entertainment - terry pratchett and neil gaiman both pretty much rock. i'm sure there are others guilty pleasures, but i'm too much of a gentleman to list them here :laugh:

Oh, and my husband and I fought about Star Wars and Star Trek last night....lol (My hubby's game of choice is World of Warcraft, that I play at times too. My hunter is named Bufey....) Geek me!

I watch anime and listen to J-rock/pop and soundtracks at work.

Don't hate me cuz you ain't me.

This...well, the anime bit, not the rest.

Love me some romantic high school comedy romance anime! Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Ouran High School Host Club. Sooo funny!

I also like Dune and Dark Angel!

I've seen Kaichou wa Maid-sama. Host Club is a bit too shoujo for me.

Currently watching Another. :happy:

i actually looked up what jamie bamber, captain leland apollo adama in battlestar galactica, does for a work out, and have pretty much modeled mine around his.


yeah nerds, his characters full name is leland.

i just downloaded all four seasons of batman the animated series. i love cartoons.

I really like "Batman Beyond" I've had a thing for Terry" McGinnis since my late teens.... He is super hot.

i'll get batman beyond. i watched most of the episodes, and return of the joker was amazing.

ok, so i was watching the GI Joe movie this weekend (don't judge me, i wanted mindless and it WAS) and all i could notice was that the Cobra guys were wearing DS9 command uniforms. so then i had to watch some Trek.

i can sing every song from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. And do. Randomly. without much volume control.

i think that there is NO higher debate than comic debate. and i think i proved that point on here.

i do not judge you for Dark Angel. i do not judge anyone watching Jensen be pretty. thinking of, i need to order a copy of Ten Inch Hero... *wonders off to amazon*

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog is perhaps the best thing ever and I will break out in song and will quote it in staff meetings.

I have played World of Warcraft until I got bored with it.

Everyday before I get out of bed I have to see what the free app of the day is in the Amazon store.

Pretty much the only music I listen to at work is soundtracks to musicals.

I'll take my nerd card now

For me a little anime (love Ghost In The Shell, for one) and original BBC Being Human (like SyFy's too but it has a certain cool factor going for it) Would Game of Thrones be too mainstream now?

I read the dictionary for "funsies" and can't finish reading something if poor grammar is used (I will circle all mistakes in red ink).

I've always been an avid gamer, opting for RPG's, and I religiously watch video game review shows.

Edited to include: I'm not sure if it's nerdy or not, but I own every single season of Medium and NCIS on dvd (along with several Adult Swim seasons), as well as ever since I was 5, if I can't get to sleep I'll run an entire Simpsons episode through my head (anything up to 2001 is worth watching, but it's all downhill from there!)

@nikolaim5 I belong to multiple "espresso brewing" forums.


Not seeing anything wrong with this!!! Coffee is damn important :drinker:

The devil is in the details. Brewing good espresso is a science, not an art.

i roleplay. not the world of warcraft kind or the tabletop kind, but online text-based. second tier of fake shame: it's mostly fandom. i know more harry potter trivia because of this than should humanly be possible. third tier of actual shame: i'm in my twenties. (ok actually I REGRET NOTHING.)

Anime, some jpop, star trek online (free to play now!), mw3, chuck, computer repair... no wonder why I need to workout
Currently watching: Another, Nisemonogatari

I'm nerdy because I don't consider 90% of what I'm reading in this thread to be nerdy.

Used to keep the boxes of Trivial Pursuit cards next to my bed as a kid, and would quiz myself late into the night.

Have only been beaten at the game by my mother -- the trivia geek master. I love her to death.

Back in the day my warlock was legendary on my wow server. Seriously people would bow to me or Org because my gear was ridiclulous.

Its funny because I rarely got on vent except with my guildies..but before I did everyone assumed I was a dude.
For the Horde!

i can sing every song from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. And do. Randomly. without much volume control.

I do this frequently, and at really weird times like while grocery shopping - people always give me weird looks.

Um... I love... air!

A lot of guys ignore the laugh and that's about standards. I mean if you are going to get into the Evil League of Evil you have to have a memorable laugh. What? Do you don't think Bad Horse didn't work on his whinny? His terrible death whinny?

LOL you made me spit water out of my nose just now... my 7 year old niece has the entire thing memorized... she is so hilarious because randomly from the backseat of a car she will start quoting the movie.. the first time she did it she was 5 lol her dad was like "WTH is wrong with her??" I said nothing... she is just embracing the awesomeness of Dr. Horrible...

than she started singing the ghost busters theme... and her dad told her she could no longer watch movies with me because I was way to much of a geek lol
