Lowest Nerd Point In Your life
 

When was it? What were you doing?

I mean were you one of those guys dressing up in costumes to play dungeons and dragons?

For me, my lowest nerd point in my life was probably being really excited about joining Royal Rangers...it's a paramlitary spinoff of the Assembly of God church...basically an even more hardcore Christian ripoff of Boy Scouts.

Spill it.

Probably when I was in the 6th grade going to a Catholic school, and I wore my hair all spiked up with gobs of fucking hairgel.

NW4L = NW4L :thumbsup

I sometimes go to LAN parties.

We have Halo parties at my house about once a week. Lots of fun.

Man Eros I am starting to think you were my long lost bro or something. I was in that shit too lol. I was only in there about a month before I just couldn't take it anymore and refused to go. Mom wasn't too happy but oh well.

I don't consider nerdiness a low point. I'm proud of my nerdiness. I love AD&D, computer games, science fiction and I am a die hard Trekker-girl for life! Trek4L!! :thumbsup

Nerd-boys are soooo hot.

Now. Im on the computer all day and thats what nerds do right?

LOL I was a cub scount, webelo, and then boy scout as well as a Royal Ranger...so glad I got out of that shit eventually.

I was on the Price is Right with a mullet a LONG LONG time ago

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh COME ON DOWN!!!!

Weblo :1orglaugh that name is just so wrong.

I was always #1 in Awanas http://www.awana.org/about.asp
another church group

No kidding.

I was not just ON my highschool's "Knowledge Bowl" team.... I was the captain....

who knew cheerleaders hated geeks back then?

:1orglaugh


Who's laughing now, prissy bitches!

Steve Lightspeed

does everquest count?

I started playing Magic The Gathering again when the Mirrodin Block came out.
Havnt played since darksteel though. lol

We play Magic :)

Hmmmmm...mine would have to be when I went on a date and he took me to a Sci-fi convention and......I actually enjoyed most of it

did you win anything?

When I realized I knew more about building websites than most of my friends that were ACS majors in college. (I was an Econ Major). I felt smart, yet nerdy.

:1orglaugh Hmmm let me think. How about when my 17 year old niece says "Your such a nerd" lol. Actually she says I'm pretty cool most of the time but just that I'm just a tech head.

Only reason I stoped because no one I knew played anymore. Plus the people at the store are SCARY. They dont know what girls are I guess.

Yeah, we only have one store around here and the people here are so dull. I miss Atlanta. There were LOTS of shops there to play at and the people were so great there.

:1orglaugh awesome

2 words...

computer club :1orglaugh

I am proud of my geekdom!
Yes i played board role playing games (myneid was my first AD&D characters name)!
Yes i played role playing games on a BBS (LORD, Trade Wars)!
Yes i went to BBS meets!
Yes i was the President of the Science Fiction Club in high school for 3 years!
Yes i played magic when it first came out, even during lunch in high school in the hallways!
Yes in college my friend and i created a custom map for Doom that was a layout of our Dorm building!
Yes i carried around my laptop everywhere i went for years!

I am proud to be a geek!

i dont understand. why do you say lowest? should it not be highest? every nerd should be very proud of himself

I stood in line for an hour to see Star Wars Episode I on opening night. In my defense, I was there with my girlfriend and a group of college friends...some one those guys were fresh out of the basement, alone, and dropped off by mom's mini-van at the door.

When I called my best friend Rick in the middle of the night and woke him up to tell him that I had just completed my rogue epic weapon quest in EVERQUEST.

His subsequent excitement also created the lowest nerd point in his life as well.

(this was years ago, have since gone on to much nerdier endeavours!!)

me and my g/f get high and play mario 64 to see how fast we can get all the stars in / we alternate with the controller after every star

:1orglaugh :helpme

I would have to say my lowest point was in high school when I was running a Star Craft clan. Had a web page and everything.

I ripped off some other clan's logo and used it as my own :1orglaugh

We were the mighty "Eagle Squadron" and I was the head Eagle :1orglaugh

I played that game so much. I was even in the top 50 worldwide competing with all the Koreans.

Does buying two boxes of Ice Age booster packs when they first came out count as being nerdy?

Holy fucking shit man. I was in that shit from age 7 all the way to about 15, not by choice, but because my mom made me. I was never really hardcore about the awards and shit, i did the minimum so that I coul dgo to the camp outs. But my buddy was really extremely hardcore in the the Royal Rangers, he was like the first person in 15 years to win the gold medal of acheivement (the highest Royal ranger award) in Indiana. He even went to national competitions and one time the 2nd in the national Ranger of the year.

Now he's a hardcore drunk and drug addict. We got really fucking drunk one night, took all his ranger shit out to the woods. We stuck some limbs in the ground and made a dummy dressed in the full Royal Ranger get up, all his awards, uniform, ect, and fucking burned that shit. Even had the authorities out there asking us if we were from the KKK burning a cross, hahahaha. We filmed the whole thing so we just told them we were independent film makers and they left us alone, hahahaha.


And remember....

A Royal Ranger is alert, clean, honest, courageous, obedient, spiritual!!

hahahahahahahha

Usually when I get into a debate/argument on a board and the others give up because they can not disprove what I say........Or I post a tech article in a car forum about Volumetric Efficiency and its roll in more power per cubic inch/litre.


I stopped playing Magic the gathering when Visions came out, I was already mad that 5th edition had lowered the worth of all my cards but when I see newbs opening packs of cards and pulling out commons and uncommons that do insane amounts of damage and do not need other cards to set them up I said to hell with it. Still got binders full of uncommon and rare and boxes of commons in the closet. Dust them off from time to time to hand some asses out with my Stasis and Land Distruction decks with the older players.

I would play warhammer 40k more if I could stand the noisy geeks in the shops around here or cooler people could find the brain cells to actually retain the rules. They dummied this game down also to try to make it appeal to more people.

each passing second is the lowest point in my life

In grade 6.. someone asked if i was masterbating again.. I said, "I may jerk off alot, but im not doing it right now".

Everyone in the fucking classroom heard me say it. Worst. Day. Ever.

I never left the "Nerd" stage.

I still play Magic The Gathering with my Wife and some friends on occasion

:1orglaugh

Hmm.. nerdy. I don't know if I've done anything really nerdy.

I did once buy some star-wars magic-the gathering rip-off cards.. never played with them though.

Aside from computer geekiness, I don't think I have other nerdy tendencies.

yep...me too :( :helpme

We want pics!!! :1orglaugh

LOL ....that has to be one of those moments you recall while lying in bed at night waiting to go to bed that you just groan out loud about.

When I actually said 'lol' in a conversation :s

watching the weakest link. i was trying to beat the contestant on the answering the questions and cursing them for choosing the wrong ones.
