Sure, Uber Cool High Nerd is nice, but it's nothing compared to our local Nerd King.

Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I doubtless lose points for not going through the hassle of putting the image up[1], so my Uber Cool Nerd King title doesn't top either of you, eh?

[1] Tell you what though, I'm forever telling people that email is supposed to be a 7-bit medium, denouncing MIME image inclusions (save for plain attachments, UUencoded or otherwise).  So maybe I'm an Uber Cool Luddite Nerd King.

Yep, bout right.

I will say that its qualifications for being a History/Lit Geek are pretty low. "Do you like books?" "Do you read books?"

Also I believe that Linguistics is a science. so :\

I spend most of my day on the computer, have an unhealthy interest in anime and games, to the point where it interferes with my social life, have a sleep-cycle which is more in alignment with America than Australia, and can recite the first twenty-three digits of pi, just for lulz. I read. Novels. I have a lot of Authors I like, so it'd be silly listing them, although Pratchett is my current favorite. And have a gigantic interest in (Ancient) History. Also Chemistry. But that's mostly for the Fizz and Bang- speaking of which, my dream-job was pyrotechnics for most of high school.

I also split wood with my shirt off, go clubbing and get heavily intoxicated, know fifteen different cuss words involving sheep, can change the oil in a car, can run a few kilometers easily, if I have to, and am easily strong enough to lift the average child onto my shoulders, sweep the average female or Jackrabbit off her (Or his oh, so manly) feet, and win an arm-wrestle against about 70% of the people I know, non-nerds included.

I've played Rugby, league and union, CounterStrike, Cricket, Tennis, Hockey, Football, Volleyball and Unreal Tournament 2004. Not professionally, any of them, but at a local contest kind of level.

Some of my past and present hobbies are Kayaking, Rock climbing, Warhammer 40k tabletop (Tau) and Mordheim (Undead), Cycling, Parkour, and I'm currently building a scale Trireme out of matchsticks- although I had to leave it at home when I moved, so nothing has really been done lately.

And, of course, I'm one of the few people on this forum who still really like DF. But I just got back into it, so that's fine.

So i'd say I'm not nerd enough to be proud of it, or really bogan enough to shun nerdy things. So, seeing as there's no option for 'I have no damn idea', what am I?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Hah! You don't know. Only me, my diary, Jackrabbit, a few girls and one of my mates at school who I used to be Reeeally good friends with- honest... know that kind of information.
