What makes you geeky?

[Acquana]

Personally, I just matched my academic geekery with my gaming geekery.

33% of the way through a PhD in Gaming with more on the way...

Yeah, I get ya. See ... unfortunately, I'm not joking. My classes in sequential art included a history class about comics, Penciling and Inking 1 & 2, Character design, cartooning ... I'm currently paying off the government for loans for loving comics that much. Several of my Professors have done work for WotC.

Other than that, practically every movie my friends and I watch goes through the gaming filter. Some of the best gaming media we've ever seen? The Goonies, the Secret of Nymh, Last Exile, and Big Trouble in Little China are great D&D storiess; FFX-2 somehow is Cyberpunk, and Full Metal Alchemist is Cybergen. The list goes on, I just don't know 'em all off the top of my head.

My cat is named Remy LeBoots (Remy LeBeau, Gambit).

I once knew every line of Return of the Jedi, including the phonetic alien languages.

Speaking of college ... For my 20th century history class I gave a ten minute presentation on Alex Ross, and for my History of Sequential Art class I gave a 15 minute one on "the Effect of Roleplaying Games on Fantasy in Comics." My professor, also being geeky, was quite impressed.

LOL! Actually I spend way more money on sci-fi/fantasy DVDs and D&D and d20 "crap" than on clothing, and furnitures / household appliances put together.

Otherwise:

At 42 still spend 90% of my free time thinking about rpg some way or another (and usually on Enworld).

I am planning four D&D/d20 campaigns, while I will probably run none...

I have three computers at home.

I still live alone mainly because a wife would probably go against my obsession for geeky interests.

You live alone, yet you are married??

I aspire to gain friends as geeky as most of the posters here.

The license plate on my car - XWING.

The license plate on my wife's car TIE FTR.

The fact that our longest discusion when buying a new car is what to put on the license plate.

He left her behind when he moved out of his parents' basement.

If you like. His theories are decidely non-mainstream, and have some serious weaknesses (in my opinion) and he plays up the "put-upon martyr who's really speaking the truth" card a bit too much. But, he's got his supporters, so I can't say that it's not worthwhile to read him.

Good enough for me!

I am married with my d20 books. (Where the Hell did you see me saying that I am married?)
