Post the nerdiest/geekiest/dorkiest things you have ever done!

[Perfection]

I took 11. Scores of tests in parenthesis.

AP US History (5)
AP European History (5)
AP Macroeconomics (5)
AP Physics Mechanics (5)
AP Physics Electricity and Magnetism (5)
AP Calculus AB (4 )
AP Calculus BC (Haven't taken yet)
AP Chemistry (Haven't taken yet)
AP Statistics (Haven't taken yet)
AP Environmental Science (Haven't taken yet)
AP English (Haven't taken yet)

I wanted to take more (like AP Comparative Government), but they couldn't fit.

Ah! Well under your system (where the AP physics courses count separetely) I'd have 12!

AP US History (5)
AP Microeconomics (5)
AP Macroeconomics (5)
AP Physics Mechanics (5)
AP Physics Electricity and Magnetism (5)
AP Calculus AB (5)
AP Calculus BC (5 (including AB subscore))
AP Chemistry (5)
AP Biology (5)
AP Psychology (5)
AP English Lit (3)
AP English Lang (3) (English isn't my strong subject)
I also took Multivariable calculus correspondance through the University of Minnesota

So I am nerdier then you

I went to study Electrical Engineering.

EE majors rule!

EE majors rule!

I never understood the American system with all those majors and what not. My B.SC is 4 years of pure engineering stuff. I googled EE undergraduate programs for various US universities and they're all filled with crap. I think you need a graduate degree in the US to have the education equivalent to a B.SC in Europe. It's weird.

Anyway, it doesnt really matter. What's important is that three years are down and only one to go.

Well I'm not sure, you just have to cram a whole lot into the 4 years in America. Generally, few people can manage to pull off actually getting an American EE degree in 4 years.

Well... I'm pretty geeky.

• I've played quite a lot of boardgames (including day long marathons of Avalon Hill's Advanced Civilization).
• I've played RPGs (and I'm not talking any silly computer games here). Latest character is a mutated badger with a flamberge.
• I've gone to meets of people from different fantasy mailing lists (Robert Jordan, Terry Pratchett and Steven Brust).
• I've been LARPing.
• I'm making terrain and minis for table top games.
• I own more than 500 SF/Fantasy books.
• I'm making a Warhammer Mod for .
• I've been working on a LotR Mod for for more than two years.

Yeah, pretty geeky. I use to play with my girlfriend too.

 

[Jawz II]

i used to play warhammer, alot. i liked the painting and gluing the minature together part more than the game itself.

it was very relaxing and creative. i still have my brushes, my cans of paint and a couple of armies stashed somewhere, i might take that hobby up again, although its 10 years since i played.

You make me so jealous.

I've pretty much exhausted most of the APs in my school, and due to scheduling conflicts I couldn't fit anymore. However, I will give credit where credit is due, you nerd!

I could do a whole thread on why Advanced Civ is an unecessary expansion that really ruined the whole purpose of Civ, so I guess that's another proof of my geekiness

 

[Atlas14]

I made my own versions of Magic the Gathering cards and put them on paper, and played with them by myself for a week.

Bah, crazy Frenchman!
Trading gets much more fun if there's two commodities available.

Two commodities can really hurt the game with not enough players, because they will introduce an arbitrary and random effect on the game.

Graphing calculator by any chance?

No, this was back when they didn't have graphing calculators.

Thats a shame. That's still a pretty kickin watch though i must say.

It says I (heart) U-235.

I think the U-234 was much more badass.
