We are all ugly and alone...

I see no reason to have to choose between gaming and sex. Just combine the two.

Just try yelling, "NATURAL 20, BABY!!" and you'll see how fun it can be. Sex and Gaming: Two great things that go great together.

Just make sure you don't call out the name of someone's PC during sex.

To the above: "DON'T LABEL ME, DUDE!" poster above...

Can I borrow your stick? I want to poke a dead body with it.

As for me, geekiest thing I ever did? Rebuild my Vic-20 from the circuit diagrams in the back of the user's manual after the roof sprang a leak.

When I new I had a tendency to be a nerd? When I realized that Star Trek was kind of boring, and Star Wars was just a fun, imaginative movie, and not two things to define my life over (not that I ever did, the ludriciousness of someone dedicating thier life to one of those two things, to spend ALL of thier time in a make believe world, and then looking down at RPG players while whining that they don't have a life, just struck me as funny)

It's when I realized that programming wasn't fun any more, so I quit. It was when I found out I could build a crossbow, and finished taking metal shop to the point that I could cold-forge or sand pit my own weapons.

I realized I was a nerd when I realized that I wanted to know more than the spoon fed crap that the teachers were shoving down everyone's throat in rote memorization patterns while blathering on about uniqueness and using your mind.

I realized I was a geek when I discovered it was more fun to go gaming than to go to the drunken orgy/bashes at someone's house or out in the woods.

So yeah, I'm a geek, and a nerd.

I'm also much, much cooler than I ever thought I'd be. (I can go into a bar, by myself, order a drink, and hang out without feeling self-conscious, can you?)

See to me, that just sounds like having a mind of your own. I dont see what "nerd" has to do with it.

And that to me just sounds like having your own taste in activities, and having some standards and common sense...I dont see where "geek" comes into the picture.

You've got your gaming in my sex! You've got your sex in my gaming!

Reeses' D&D-Cups! You can't have just one!

-turned down sex for pursuit of geekly activities-

I've been there. I once turned it down to finish the fire level of Shinobi for the PS2.

Of my geekiest moment? I have several to date. Just today when browsing idly through the merzo.net ship guide, I commented "Ha. Halo is bigger than Unicron!". Just last weekend I was walking down the street after returning from purchasing a replacement power supply with my fiancee (whom I might add is the aforementioned turn-downee), and some kid did some flippy thing with a skateboard. I asked what the dex check for that would be, and she said, "No hon, I think that's a feat." Identifying the song in the bar scene of Team America as redone Star Wars cantina music, playing Star Wars trivia with the counter guy at the video rental, and much more. I wish I could think of some more.

my most geeky thing was that i flatulated during physics class and then to make humor of it i calculated the wind velocity, pressure, sound frequency, and moles and yelled the figures out loud, hahaha

In elementary school, I tried to build a working robot. That was nearly 30 years ago, but I still have some of the parts that I'm saving for my next try....

Just make sure you don't call out the name of someone's PC during sex.

If so, you'd better make sure it's your SO's character's name!

I recently attempted to impulse a pair of leather pants. I am so ashamed of myself. Also one of my life's goals is to name my first son Anakin.

You, sir, are a monster.
