Nerdy gaming things you've done...

I just ordered this CD... just wondered has anyone else got anything similarly nerdy?

I dont see that as being nerdy, if you like the music, why not buy the cd. Its just like buying a soundtrack from a film i think.

I did an all nighter playing battlefield in some net cafe awhile back.

Twas early morning, nothing much about while I was waiting at the bus stop, when this fella came around the corner on a bike I jumped and nearly raised my arms to shoot him:D

Nearly said "lol" to someone on the street one time aswell:rolleyes:

the talon overworld 2 music from metroid prime is at the top of my most frequently played mp3's list.
nothing wrong with buying the soundtrack, i would have done the same if i had cash to spare

Celtic Tiger

I have the bf1942 main tune as my ringtone

Roller Toaster

Wow, you've got me really tempted by that cd... Phendrana Rifts is a beautiful piece of music thats been on my mp3 player for about 6 months now. Talking of game music I love the music from F-Zero GX, Customize and Big Blue are classics of our time. Also Sim City 4/Rush Hour has some great music, Epicentre, ElectriCity and the final track in 4 (17) spring to mind.

I had a nasty habit of resting in RPGs in dangerous areas specifically so I'd get ambushed and collect a little more XP. Am I going to Hell, daddy?

I also regularly listen to the CD music of Interstate '76, a gem of an old game with some awesome funk on it.

BKtje

I got doom and cnc music in my play list

I once said "laughing my ass off". i got strange looks before they started to "lol".

EDIT: i once left the pub early cos i had a clan match. The shame (especially when me m8's found out why ).

Squall

Can hum most of the transport tycoon tunes

Way too much time playing that game

ohhhh and tetris too

Retr0gamer

Have final fantasy ringtones, have a large collection of original and orchestrated game music on mp3s, had a few all nighters and lan parties and also payed over 80 euros for xenogears and suikoden on ebay. Please don't label me.

I have Tetris as my ring tone.

I bought a PS2 on the day of it's launch.

Not really nerdy...

simu

I have Mario and Legend of Zelda ringtones.

I made boards.ie skins for The Sims and put them in my member space for people to download. Look here

Anyone else think this guy looks kinda like devore

Well, if he does, it's only a coincidence. There is software that allows you to make Sim heads out of photographs but I don't think I'm quite nerdy enough to make Sim charaters with genuine boards.ie admin faces!

I didn't particularly like those Mario Ice-creams but still bought them out of loyalty.

Hehe, I remember them. I can't remember if I liked them or not...

Kold

I say lol on a regular basis

Seifer

Ive got FF7 ringtones and I imported the halo soundtrack cd. I also have all three halo books. Wouldn't say its nerdy but I suppose I wouldn't brag about it either.

Roller Toaster

Are those books worth getting?

Seifer

The first one "The fall of reach" is a prequel to the game and its really good.
The second one "The Flood" is basically a transcript of the game with only a little added and because of this is quite boring.
The third one "First strike" is again very good. It deals with the immediate aftermath of the events in the game.
Both the first and third books are written by a guy called Eric Nylund and he does them very well. Worth getting. You could give the second one a miss though.

Not only did i beat ruby and emerald weapon, I also beat Omega weapon from 8 and Ozma from 9. I've played through fallout 2 killing everyone I meet. I've even gotten eight of the twenty six dirrerent endings for Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. I own both tyrian and tyrian 2000 and have finished evry extra version of the arcade mode on suicide difficulty. Hell in freelancer i spent hours getting friendly/neutral with every faction except the Xenos.
