    What's the nerdiest thing about you?

    Whether it's your opinion of yourself or what you think others would think would be your nerdiest attribute, I ask you, BGers, what is your best claim to nerdiness? '-'

    ..You have actively or formerly taken part in cosplaying?
    ..You own a collection? (movies, games, comics, manga, books, stamps, cards, coins, whatever; digital collections count too!)
    ..You have impressively custom assembled, or are assembling, something PC/audio/video/game-related? (Ben Heck shit, PC cases, custom stereo installs)
    ..You play those table-top RPGs where you create/paint your own figures/characters and roll dice for combat? (my boss does this shit; I think it takes the cake..)
    ..You have a well-above-average level of skill and/or knowledge in any computing language?
    ..You're a seasoned MMO veteran?
    ..You have a thorough understanding of all internet memes, as well as a willingness to display such understanding?
    ..You troll forums with unparalleled wit, vigor, and prowess?
    ..You've said internet acronyms, memes, and/or 1337-speak aloud in public? (I always find this amusing)
    ..Your skill in some video game would be seriously competitive against the global population?

    I'll assume most people here possess some degree of self-admitted nerdiness. Sorry in advance if no choice fits well.

    If choices 1, 2, 3, 4, or something similar, pics and info(?) please~
    If choices 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or anything else, I expect entertaining derails.

    (I don't know how to add my last 2 options to the poll >.>)

    My assorted miniatures collection is probably the nerdiest thing.

    Used to have a SM and Tyranid army like 10 years back, but GW prices really grab you by the balls and it got boring going up against the same few people all the time.

    Got rid of all my models and started collecting and painting random models that caught my eye. Worked on conversions too, always fun.
    Had a wee collection in Uni, I should really pick that up again.

    Fuck skin tones though, can't paint those to save my life.

    I have a collection of Skateboards mounted on my wall. <3 my Marylin Monroe Zero Deck, not to mention a 100% scratch built board, need to get more.

    I do the memes thing all the time in pubs and at work for comedic value. Nothing like watching their face contort when they try to make sense of what you just said.

    "Less QQ, more Pew-Pew" is a winner in any work environment.

    I still have no way to get people not to think "Nerdy" when I tell them I'm a computer scientist. So usually when a girl asks me what I do I respond with "I clean out the lion cages at the zoo" or something equally ridiculous.

    Selected MMO vet, though I don't know if 3-4 games qualifies me as a "vet". Only one I come somewhat close to, unless collection pokemon cards and pogs back in the olde times counts.

    I've been playing ffxi for more than 4 years, and been in BG for more than 3 years. I've outlived all the other whitemages now~

    Been playing smash competitively since melee introduction (never followed SSB competitively, go melee peach!), now i play a beasty brawl peach in the same pretty white dress from melee. I take haters down, and I've played in tournaments and do well~

    I completely lack a social life as of late, yet retain my social skills (so sad to interact with nerds that really lack good social skills). I attribute it to being gay. I spent my freshman year winter holiday (month? month and a half?) in my dorm room (instead of at home) because I wanted to play ffxi and not miss anything (im not computer-inclined, and it took me a month without ffxi after i moved into my dorm to get it back again, so i was afraid to lose it.) I think I was camping simurgh(sp?) and doing dynamis with BG's dynamis linkshell, Wiffleball.

    I misread the thread title and picked the wrong option. Eh, oh well. I get to pretend to be a Cosplayer now!
