Two of the ones in the first row are true for me.

I guess I win. Or lose.

(The entry for competitive StarCraft should be any sort of high-level replays. There's other stuff out there. And the MMORPG one doesn't need "paid." Or "game.")

Missing spaces have been compensated for by the pictures I used to fill in everything else.



Extenuating circumstances:
--I've dressed as videogame characters plenty, but I don't think Halloween counts. However, I am planning on cosplaying at PAX.
--As of this writing, I can't actually define cyberpunk as well as I can steampunk.
--By fictional language, I counted my understanding of "grok", "frak", "shazbot", and Newspeak, as well as general Klingon spelling. Too minimal?
--Does furiously hating on something count as a fanboy flamewar?

Only if you insulted its fans on a personal basis.

By your definition, I've never really "cosplayed" either. I've dressed as Mario for a Halloween party and a few themed dress-up days at school.

Can't make an image for myself right now, but how can anyone NOT fulfill row 2. You people are disgraces to nerd-dom.

I'm also very confused by the lack of people checking the flamewar box. Heck, I'm pretty sure I've personally been in flamewars with each and every one of you.

... flamewar box ...
It's the specifics - again, paid MMOs. Though I guess I could count the fifty dollars I threw at Kingdom of Loathing. I guess dreaming about fictional places happens, but I don't really want to go to any of these places, so I wouldn't count it. And yeah, we should all check the flamewar box. I've insulted Turtlekid more than enough about Kingdom Hearts to count. See updated image.

Oh yeah, I knew I was forgetting one. I have also been in a flame war.

Two bingoes easy, without even counting debatable ones (Does it count if I only have two Star Trek series that I can rank? Is 210 "seriously" overweight for 5'7"? Do OCRemixes count as "music from another country" considering most of them are based on original compositions from Japan? How vivid/frequent/well-developed do the dreams of fantasy worlds have to be?)

Fixed. XD

Here we go..



Huh. I guess I'm not as nerdy as the rest of you as I thought. :p

I guess I could also have checked off Watch anime, but only if dvds of shows that I think are no longer on the air count (Ranma, occasional Dragonball Z [when my friend gets obssesed with it again], and random others).
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

B1 Nope
B2 Yes, but mostly from the science fiction books a read right before going to sleep.
B3 I'm only active on two, but have dozens that I occasionally use. 
B4 Been to E3 twice.  Also, do science and/or education conventions count even if they are job related?
B5 I may be overweight, but I'm not very serious about it. 

I1 No, but I can rank Doctor Who doctors and even some seasons.  Since Doctor Who is longer running than Star Trek shouldn't it count?
I2 I don't think dropping in and out a couple of times counts. 
I3 Hmm, Lizard Dude, can you remind me of any?  I know I've posted in thread involving flamewars, but can't recall fanning the flames.
I4 I can't even name a single one.
I5 Can I get a triple score?

N1 Only if you count video game music that's in the games I play since I play very few Western develop titles.
N2 No.  I don' t even watch the mainstream films.
N3 N-Space (Bonus point to anyone that knows the reference.)
N4 Some yes, but not most.  Does starting one count?
N5 Maybe.  I can name cyberpunk writers, and describe what steampunk looks like. 

G1 I played D&D about two decades ago.  Does that count?  If so, I've go column G.
G2 This is not a nerdy thing.  Isn't Steam mainstream already?
G3 I don't walk for exercise, but have a pull/chin-up bar in the doorway to the computer/guest room that I'll some times do a chin-up on.
G4 Another triple score?
G5 Does dressing up a Mario twice a year count?

O1 No
O2 No
O3 No
O4 No
O5 I may be serious, but I'm not very opinionated about it.

bumppppp

blue = true 5 years ago, not now
purple = true both 5 years ago and now
red = true now, but not 5 years ago

I think I get an extra square for dividing them like this

Why doesn't Turtlekid have the Steam box marked off? He was playing Portal just the other day.

Yeah, but an active account?

I suppose if I play more Aquaria during the next few days, it could be defined as such...

Portal's only T-rated, though.
