Airbrushing gundams. I put way too much effort into these things but not as much as others. I've also recently started to make lightsabers(yes light up with sounds and kaiburr gems and whatnot) from everyday materials lol.

The first thing people notice when they walk into my room are all the nerf blasters hanging from the wall. I modify them, paint them, and use them in an on-campus 'nerf tag' game simulating a zombie apocalypse. I helped found the organization that runs the campus game and it has since spawned a cult-like following. It's essentially a giant larp...

I'm constantly looking for both the most awesome and the most beautiful film and videogame scores out there. I also listen to a lot of new age music, so when people hear my selection they're confused since I listen to a lot of music without words, yet still find the same amount of meaning.

And then they hear that I don't watch watch sports, but professional Korean Starcraft and practice the game on a daily basis. Whenever I say I play a lot of starcraft one of the first questions friends ask is 'aww man, me too! do you use hotkeys? can you beat the computer?'. It's hard to explain that I'm D+ on iccup, so I'll usually just play a few games and murder them! One time a did a 4 player free for all and was hit with about 50 lings at 7 minutes and then mass carriers at 20. It's fun when it essentially becomes a 3:1 and you still win! It's also fun to see the looks on people's faces when they see my 130ish APM at work!

Programing in fortran differents problem i've encountered during my studies. And once i've finished a program, making it bigger and more complex so it can solve more problems.

More specificaly i am writing a program i want to be able to solve a vast array of thermal/mecanic/ fluid mecanic problems using finite differences. And later finite elements if i find enough courage.

I guess it is pretty stupid/useless since there are a lot of professional softwares able to do that which are way more efficient than anything i could write but it's fun and relaxing.

Depends on what you view as "nerdy". From the perspective of "normal" people, everything I do in my spare time is rather "nerdy". Play video games, read, watch anime, writing on a play-by-post RPG, listen to video game music...

I suppose watching Gundam would be about the most "nerdy" thing I am doing right now. Afterall, science fiction is still seen as purely a domain of "nerds" compared to video games, who are now a lot more widespread.

porn & masturbation

Seriously. I watch porn movies every day (I masturbate at least once every day, too. Sometimes twice). And I love it. Wouldn't it be socially awkward, I'd talk about porn with all of my buddies. "Ey Dude, you know who is hot? Annetta Keys, damn I'd love to fuck her. Go check out 4tube.com, there is a vid where she is sitting on a stair.. " "Oh you mean that with the purple dildo" "Yeah exactly, damn so hot"

But no. I can't talk about it. I mean, for me porn is not only random people fucking. After watching so many dicks being plugged into so many pussies, a man fucking a woman with his random 8 inch cock has become more or less an animalistic(?) act which amuses me. Of course it can and still does turn me on, but not so much like it did a few years ago. When I watch a porn movie today, I look at all kinds of different things like the ambience, if one can see the scars from her boob job.....

I used to collect a lot of porn, too. A quick look at my explorer tells i have 26GB of porn movies & pics which I of course never watch because there is too much new shit being uploaded every day. And I can't wank that much.

So yeah, now you know it. Other than that I think I'm quite boring. No strange manga/hentai/weird asian fashion fetish here

Er... I'm quite a normal guy. I'd have to say watching Korean progamers is as geeky as it can get, for me. (well, I code and make websites for a living so that's not just a hobby for me. But of course, coding is one of the geekiest jobs out there, or hobby if you don't make money out of coding, yet)

Magic: The Gathering. It just gets a horrible reputation when you go to a Friday Night Magic in a shitty store filled with fat, middle-aged people. I try to avoid telling friends about it.

You can DL decent enough HK subs from Veoh. Just install their Veoh player for free and look up Kamen Rider Kuuga. They suck compared to TV Nihon's, but they're better than nothing. I need to finish Dekaranger, but I keep getting distracted by bitching over how lame Goseiger is.

Either MTG or DnD, whichever is considered geekiest.

I've done that

It's either in high school when i saw we had a DnD club and went that is a cool idea, or the part where i joined the DnD club then stopped going to my cross-country after school that or the part where we had an idea to go about LARP in the park.

I find my obsessive MTG and joining the MTG club in school not nearly as bad.

For me, that would probably be modding. That kind of thing gets you into all kinds of geeky stuff. Voice acting, 3d modeling, scripting, writing, the finer points of game design and balance...

Don't confuse mapping with modding. You can't begin to put the kind of stuff you use in a mod into a map. Arbitrary size limits and all.
