[QUOTE="s/LaSH, post: 784976, member: 6929"] From my perspective? Probably when I calculated the breakpoint at which Santa Claus (Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Pere Noel, whatever you choose to call him) would have to break the speed of light to reach every person on Earth. It was somewhere around 60 billion, to memory, but I've forgotten. (Several other amusing memories swing to the surface, like figuring out how long it would take our planet to move its own radius along its orbit (1 minute almost precisely, I figured) - while I walking down the street with no calculator or even a pen; or when I came up with a patently impossible quark bomb that had a circular explosion, not a spherical explosion. A pity quarks can't exist on their own.) From someone else's perspective? I had a good moment tonight, when my sister's friend said, "Hey, you're listening to Age of Empires music!" Which was true. "Have you paused the game and alt-tabbed out?" To which I replied something about CD audio data tracks and the different implementation of proprietary soundtracking technology. That's pretty geeky. Probably the second best one would have to be my homebrew RPG system, Twilight (the child of Nocturne). It's currently at 90 pages, and aaalmost complete and ready for playtesting. I personally think it's THE best system out there, but developing it for 10 years probably distorts my perspective. I should finish reading the Ars Magica rules and laugh quietly to myself, I suppose (as a geek moment, I saw the question in the FAQ about using a ritual to levitate a mountain - and immediately went for the calculator to determine how to do that in Twilight. Because I could.) The biggest geekiness is probably my scifi universe. When I can recite basic, public history for five hours straight I know I've gone too far... to stop. Mwa. Mwaha. Mwahahahaha!
