Huuuuuge vidja game nerd here?

Anything from FPS to RPG, I'm game (no pun intended). Started with SNES, and probably won't stop till I'm dead, haha!

Interesting stories...hm, there's a bunch from XBL in high school. Halo 3 custom games/forge mode, GoW 2 private matches going on for hours, FO3 while in a party and we're all running the same quest...the list goes on. Most recently been on a BF1 kick with work friends. Plenty of good times with that!
 
Good idea here! My nerdiest would have to be comic books. Also do some gaming as time allows, just modded a raspberry pi and been rolling through the classics.
 
Marvel or DC?

Wait that might get violent
 
I'm a stat nerd and fell in love with dfs bc of it, (FanDuel, DraftKings etc). I spend pretty much all my time outside the gym reading in depth status statically data regarding everything sports related. Pretty much concentrate my efforts on football and hoops as they are my two favorite sports but I dabble in hockey and golf from time to time too.

Also if this didn't make me nerdy enough I'm a crazy sci-if nerd, doesn't matter how bad it is, see some of Netflix selections, I'll watch and enjoy
 
I love RPGs. Anyone remember runescape from back in the day? I had a paid subscription to get the fancy "premium members only" servers lol.
Hmm a few of my other favorites:
Elder scrolls: oblivion, All of the fallouts since 3 came out, Star Wars KOTOR 1 and 2, and of course skyrim. I also love FPS too. I was 10th prestige on modern warfare 2 when it was still the hottest cod.
 
Geeze. Where do I even start. Video games is obvious. Pulled many all nighters playing games. Went to several midnight releases for halo games.
Did the whole comic book scene through out high school. Loved reading those. Huge Star Wars fan. Kids name is Luke. Love me some Harry Potter too. Went to every midnight release of the books when I was younger. Saw every movie the day they came out. When I was in college the first time it was for computer programming.

Even though I'm grown up now I still get my nerd on. My friend and I talk comics, Star Wars, marvel/dc, all the time. We get into arguments about it too. Lol. When on bike patrol we would stop atleast once a week to the comic shops downtown. You know for public relations. Lol. I still watch my anime shows, read the occasional comic book and any time Harry Potter or Star Wars is on I'll watch it. I love being a nerd at heart. It's nice to act like a child sometimes and argue who shot first, Han or greedo.

So much in common.
Everything mentioned minus COD:MW, I stopped after COD 1-2 and got into faster paced shooters. I do very well under pressure, best level in every online shooter I've played is the free for all playlist.

I even enjoyed Unreal Tournament back on original Xbox, explosions and madness everywhere

Runescape was a colossal waste of my life in retrospect but it was fun as hell at the time

Kudos if you can share a picture of your collection, or one favourite thing

But also be mindful of sharing images of your valuables online... Internet intelligently

I collect Funko Pops too. Mine stay in boxes tho. My wife and daughters put all their Disney ones on top shelves, and mine go on bottom :(

I'll post pic later
 
I have an original artwork from the hobbit somewhere. It's from the good hobbit not the new ones. It's a picture of Bilbo in smaugs den. It's cool. I'll have to see what nerdy stuff I can rummage up. Do original power ranger or tmnt action figures count?

Dude, are they the giant turtles from the 90s?
 
Let's see. Haven't really played video games since Forza 3, just kind of lost the interest to make time.

Started playing Dungeons and Dragons at 13 and played for years. Recently started playing again with my gf and another couple we like to game with every couple weeks. Or play Magic the Gathering, or a random board game. Always enjoyed RPGs to some degree.

I love learning more about training, and PED usage, and I definitely get off on strength programming to a nerdy degree.
 
Pokémon + Ninja Turtles:

I'm a big Pokémon fan. I play GO, and still have my Pikachu/Pichu GBC with the Gen 1 & 2 games.

I'm also a DBZ fan, and watched some of Super. I think it's being dubbed in English soon, which is better than subtitles. I drew this a while ago:

Also a big Deadpool fan, but don't actually have any comics (I mostly just go online). Here's a pumpkin I carved for Halloween:

I love my super nintendo.

I just got a raspberry pie which is a credit card size computer and its used for retro gaming so i'm probably going to sell my collection so i can use the money to build an arcade with it.
 
blueline438 said:
No. I only have the 6" ones. what are you talking about?
Click to expand...

I remember playing at my cousins with like 14" Ninja Turtles from the early 90s. Exact same joint movements as 6" just huge... They did the same thing with the Animated X-men figures, but those were like 10" or 12".

The pie is amazing. It's more work to make it a cabinet but would be totally worth it

Yea I was obsessed as a kid!

Every Christmas so far Dylan has gotten me something (or a couple somethings) Sailor Moon related. Last year was a pack of socks of the Sailor Scouts and these little pendants from different series'.
This year he got me a Luna sweater with the ears and face on the hood! ☺ (#adulting?) Tuxedo mask pop figure, and coffee mugs. My mom even got in on the sailor moon gifts this year haha.
Was not complaining!
 
My few biggest nerdy loves:
DBZ
Pokémon (especially squirtle)
Any of the Gundams (especially fundamental wing... death scythe hell was my jam)
Everything dinosaurs (raptors ftw)
Star Wars

Some items from around the house:

I used to have all the dbz action figures and gundam build kits but I got rid of most of them when I moved from my old 3br house into a 1br apartment... now I wish I still had them cuz I've got the space again... guess I'll have to acquire new ones ha

Pffffftttt forget being an adult. It's too much fun to enjoy life ;)

My mom wants me to have kids like last year (literally begs me and my gf at holidays... it's kinda awkward ha). The last few weeks I've sent her pictures of the baby Pokémon I hatched.

My dad and stepmom waited until my step sister and I had both moved out...then they went to the Harry Potter park without us.
I'm still not over it
 
Broad spectrum nerd here. Really used to be into WOW but got out of it after Cataclysm. Love everything comic book related. Used to be a major Marvel buff and not care a ton about DC but I really love DC now, with Iron Man and Flash being my favorites from each side, specifically Barry Allen. Have so much comic stuff in the house it's kind of crazy not to mention 90 percent of the clothes I wear have some super hero on them. My father in law hates it and always tries to convince me to change my wardrobe which makes me a thousand times more determined to keep it. I'll try to get up a few pics tomorrow of some things if I remember.
 
Im a total comic nerd and proud of it i love marvel avengers and x-men are my favorite i have 2 young sons kaiden thor and axel hulk they're bedroom is all avengers i also have 2 tats Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
That represent my sons
In also a huge thunder cats and g.i.joe fan i record and watch g.i.joe still to this day
 
That thunder cats comment made me remember two other great loves:

Voltron and transformers.

I burnt through the new Netflix voltron (next season might be out by now too or very soon if not) in two days after work in my hotel ha
 
Here's some of our Funko Pops. We have more scattered in kids rooms, game room, etc.

I don't care what anyone says. It truly is a great game. Everyone needs something to turn off their brain and unwind each day.

Well when you go to sell hit me up. I'd love to get a few more games. Especially those dbz games!!
But you are missing some of the hardest games ever. Lion king and Aladdin. You haven't lived until you beat the wait to be king level or hakuna matata. Plus flying the magic carpet out is a b!tch too.
