MiscKlaire Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 ...when you're making up a trading card game featuring your classmates, professors, and possible newbies.(I'm in a theatre program, where the 21 of us take every class together five days a week, so we've gotten pretty close. Also have quite a few inside jokes. These cards are so much fun to make. Though making up a game is considerably more difficult than it was when I was 5)...when your first crush was on Edward Elric. And let's be honest: It wasn't a crush, it was true love....when you prefer the scientific Harry Potter fanfiction to the canon. (Methods of Rationality is gold. Check it. )...when you're a Nerdfighter and a Nerd Fitness-er and are excited about how similar the initialisms are.

MiscKlaire Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Unfortunately not as cool as a Fight Club of wits. Nerdfighters "fight to increase world awesome and to decrease world suck". Creating interesting, thought provoking, inspiring, and incredible stuff (like books, music, etc) while also donating to loads of different charities. Once a year the Project for Awesome occurs, where nerdfighters work together to make the front page of Youtube nothing but charity videos.Pree cool.It all started with two brothers who wanted to communicate textlessly for a year, meaning, through phone calls, videos, and face to face.

leadchipmunk Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Ooh, that sounds pretty cool.

KAllen Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 .... why don't we have Ewoks?!They look too much like Tribbles...so we Klingons killed them.

leadchipmunk Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 That doesn't make sense... The furthest anyone has traveled in the Star Trek Universe (outside of the Borg because nobody knows how far they have spread and the Traveler, who can span near infinite space because he created a new form of warp drive) was Captain Janeway and the Voyager crew going a measly 70,000 light-years from Earth into the Delta Quadrant. That leaves them in the same Galaxy as Earth. But Star Wars universe is in a galaxy far, far away. So the Klingons couldn't have killed the Ewoks because they haven't traveled that far.Would this be another way you know when you are a nerd?

leadchipmunk Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 He did bring them over 3,000,000 light-years away into a neighboring galaxy. But they were brought back and I believe since it was specified "a galaxy far, far away" the Star Trek universe takes place not in a neighboring galaxy but in a galaxy that is very distant even for galaxies. Right?Also, I don't believe his technology was disclosed to pretty much anybody but Wesley Crusher when he was taken in as an apprentice of sorts. So, I guess we can theoretically add Wesley to the list of people able to go to the Star Wars galaxy.

ICB Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 You know you're a nerd when you workout while playing videogames. A death equal 5 pushups!I did this with a deck of cards and Battlefield Bad Company 2. One death = 1 card = one of four workouts (depending on the suit of the card), with the number of reps to be determined by the value of the card. Never been so sore in my life. Link to comment

Never been so sore in my life.Ok, that makes me want to create a workout poker. Best hand is the exercise set you must do. Winner of the hand is exempt for the exercise. Royal flushes would be game killers. I could just see it now. Say Hearts are burpees (the toughest workout for me, so the suicide king (king of hearts) makes sense for it). A royal flush would be a total of 60 burpees (if Jack=11, Queen=12, K=13, A=14). Sounds fun. Mwahahaha...

You're all suspended, pending a hearing.Well, it hasn't been proven that the Q can travel outside of the galaxy because the Star Trek universe follows the Federation. But they are very pompous race, thinking of themselves as gods, so their claims may or may not be exaggerated. It has never been shown exactly how strong their powers are.

KAllen Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 And the Klingons got the Q to transport us over there to kill the Ewoks(because even Q hate Ewoks and Tribbles)...Since they can break all space/time continuum rules.
