Lou186000 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 So what is the nerdist thing everyone else does? You, Sir, have some serious nerd cred, especially re: larping and Batroc cosplay. Me: I'd like to say "read comic books" but I'm not so sure that's as nerdy as it once was. But that is high on my personal list. I also love to listen to science podcasts, and I'm something of a music theory nerd and for fun I compose small (so far) orchestral pieces. Dude, you're making me doubt my own nerd cred. I'm going on a Doctor Who binge watch immediately. 2 Quote Lou186000 Battle Log: Battling at the Speed of Lou aaaa42% Link to comment
Hardway Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 My highest claim to fame is that I am married to Dr Elena Strange, so as a comic book nerd I am married to Dr Strange Plus of course I lecture on Civil Rights and social justice issues as reflected in comic books http://www.contv.com/detail-movie/CEG10015249/comic-con-workshop:-civil-rights-and-social-justice-in-comic-books/ NERD CRED IS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 Quote Hardway Level 13 Half Orc ScoutStrength:8 Dexterity:8 Constitution:8 Intelligence:6 Wisdom:6 Charisma:7 Han Solo Challenge 20%20% Batroc Challenge Challenge 25%25% Malak Challenge 4%4% Link to comment
Oramac Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 mudruns and even crossfit dressed in cosplay That's something I've always wanted to do, but the cosplays I'd choose would be incredibly cumbersome for a mud run. ----------------------------- As for me, probably the nerdiest thing I do is actual martial arts training with lightsabers. Yup, I'm an Apprentice with the Terra Prime Light Armory. It's fun and [almost] totally realistic. 4 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment
Finisterre Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 All my rats are named after sci-fi/fantasy characters. I buy copies of books I never intend to read because they have pretty covers (so I have a reading copy and a display copy). Apparently these things are geeky/nerdy. I think they make perfect sense... 3 Quote Fiona - Assassin Horses ~ Circus ~ Rats ~ Genetics Four week challenges: 1 2 3 (Failed) 4 5 Current challenge: Here Link to comment

PMyrrh Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I once did a form of Larping called Dagorhir. There wasn't much ROLE playing in my group, just foam weapon combat. I also play table top games twice a week. It's usually Dungeons and Dragons, but sometimes Paranoia, Dark Heresy, and Pathfinder. 3 Quote Lvl 4 Dragonborn (Dungeons and Dragons not Skyrim) Warrior STR:8.5 DEX:3 STA:10.5 CON:7.5 WIS:5 CHA:4 MyFitnessPal (Looking for NerdFitness PPL) Current Challenge Completed:PMyrrh's Viking Winter PMyrrh's Path of the Persevering Paladin Brazen and Unabashed 5 minute Spartan Plank 50/50 SquatsCOLD ASS VIKING CHALLENGE: 30/30 100% 100% Link to comment

It's fun and pressure free I don't know about nerdiest thing I do exactly, it's just my life in general! Work on costuming from time to time, writing, hit up as many comic cons as I can, mostly into sci fi/fantasy/superhero genres for movies, and a serious gamer. Well, I guess I go through phases with the gaming, mostly when BioWare comes out with something new.

SomeGuyFromScotland Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Nerdiest thing I do, or did in this case (no longer have the time)... e-Wrestling. It's a combination of roleplaying and creative writing, I guess, but in a pro wrestling scenario. Handlers create their characters and write promos for them, and fed heads (people who effectively run the game/world) produce shows composed of promos and matches between characters. Back in ye olde internette days when I started playing (1996), there was more of a competitive element to it with very little co-operation between handlers - often it was as simple as best roleplayer would win. As the years went on, the standard and maturity of players/writing got better, and handlers worked together, generally under the supervision of fed heads, to create more interesting and engrossing storylines between their characters. Some of the finished products nowadays could rival actual wrestling tv shows, were they to transfer over, certainly in terms of imagination and quality. So yeah. Redface. 5 Quote ~~ VALHALLA, I AM COMING! ~~ Season 1 (2015): #0 #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Season 2 (2016): #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 Season 3 (2017): #16 #17 #18 Link to comment

I speak at a half dozen or so comic convintions every year (social justice and civil rights as reflected in comic books) I will be at Dragon Con this year, but just as a civilian and avid cosplayer \ I mostly go to the Calgary Expo, once to the Edmonton one, and now the Vancouver Expos. Calgary is hands down the best, but eventually I would love to make it to one across the border. Or to one of the gaming expos! So awesome that you speak at them! I really wanted to do Larping when I still lived in Edmonton, but instead got in with one of the Medieval sword fighting groups, which was totally different but great. After I left, I realized how many Larping groups were starting up there. There's definitely been a surge Quote Kilyra|Level 4|Gorgon|Adventurer Stats: STR 5 | STA 10 | DEX 8 | CON 8 | WIS 9 | CHA 6 "If all I do is try, that means I don't truly believe I can succeed.

Oramac Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 what would you like to cosplay as in a mud run, almost anything can be done, even full vader I'd love to do my full-on Sith costume. Cloak, mask, boots, armor, and all. But running a Tough Mudder in that after getting it all wet and heavy and muddy just sounds brutal to me. Also, I'm one of those guys that enjoys the theorycrafting behind games. I memorize stats for WoW, and I've started theorycrafting a one-roll system for D&D, because the separate attack/damage roll system feels too cumbersome for me. 1 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment
