You said multiple haikus, so here's a series. Hope that's ok. It's based on The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe.

A midnight dreary
I youtubed, weak and weary
many a replay

that of starcraft 2
I nodded, nearly napping
'cause they were hacking

suddenly a tap
a tapping upon my door
"'tis just my mother"

I said, "nothing more"
trying to put me to bed
at this of late hours

I sought to borrow
to remedy the morrow
surcease of sorrow

for my lost amor
that of the forgotton lore
that of the Broodwar

"forgiveness I ask"
I pleaded with my mother
"just one replay more!"

to this she replied
"Not one! No damn replays more!"
and slammed hard the door

now I gieve and roar
for the saintly days of yore
for my lost broodwar

I fear evermore
I shall not play the sequel
to my lost amor

my soul lies floating
floating on the floor, unless
and, you, I implore

A key I can get
for this most awesome of games
this and nothing more

WARNING Intense nerd grease prepare to travel back in time to the ages of pokemon, godzilla, and Draaagoonnn Bbaaaallll ZZeeeeeee:

Aww, the days of real actor ninja turtles... I remember the splinter being the coolest thing ever seen on TV at that time. Yes, I did cry watching homeward bound, so fucking what?!

You've never really played Chess properly until you have played it with the justice league.

A fraction of my Spider-man collection. Of course I have the comic books and of course I have the movies, but nobody wants to see that boring stuff - and yes, that costume IS indeed for a build a bear kitty... Don't judge meeeee

Blockbuster never did end up charging me $10...

Tetsuo and Archie have a thing for each other, who am I to defy true love?

Best... Movie... Ever... Actually, not really... In fact, its a terrible movie, but being the greasy nerd I am... I must have it.

I pwn and yes baby, it takes D-Cell batteries.. you know, the ancient batteries you used to throw at girls.

Instead of showing off my video game collection like I see many doing on this thread, I have decided to think outside the box - or inside the box rather. Here is my collection of all my old video game instruction booklets!

You may close your mouth now. That isn't photoshopped, there is a N64 version of Starcraft and I rocked that baby out on Bloodbath everyday against computer on 'Fast' speed. 3 bunkers, 5 tanks, 20 minutes later, gogo!! Serious question tho, anyone else play Hey you, Pikachu??! You could talk (actually talk into a mic, which connects via hardwire to the n64 controllers) to pikachu and tell him to grab a kleenex or pick up a ball, or if you yelled at him he would cry. That game is soooo fun!

Goijira! Hashire! With some crokinole action in the background.

If it HAS to be one pic, I nominate this one. Full scan of nerdism. What goldens do we have here.. ahh yes, pocket monsters when pokemon was 151 and cool. Dragonball Z laminated poster. Couple sweet ass action figures. Nacho Libre mask. Some british comedy, Mr.Bean and Wallace and Gromit of course Pokemon the first movie - I did cry at the end when the two pikachus were fighting. Such senseless brutality, why Ash, why?! Uhhmmm, mario kart red Nintendo DS. Stack of comics in the back. Gantz season 1, and I have 2 but couldn't find it :|

I was almost to ashamed to show my subscription of Cat Fancy magazine, but... no nerd king can hold his crown proudly without one.

Speed racer collector's edition. If you said Mr. Chim Chim you are correct!!

Just a close up of the epicness pokemon once was.

Come on.... commeee onnnnn.... what a piece of dried turd stuck to your bum hair, pathetic, sexually violating your eyes, attempt of a movie that is. You could seriously shit in an old VHS box and sell it for more than that movie sold for - in fact, that is exactly what I did, hence there being no box for the movie. But it is mario brothers, so I must has.

Figured Mr. Bean deserved a little bit of a close up.

Ahh yes, the moneyshot - haha! Double entendre!!

Just wash it when you.... you know what, just keep it man - just keep it...

Alrighty then here we go:


Piled up picture, showing State/Regional/National/World Championship TCG trophies + binders and collections on the top. A huge amount of assorted cards infront and the drawer from which they came from, along with my $3,500 giant money award for my 3rd place at Worlds in 2005! Everything in between my room's 'library' where you can find anything from Pokemon cards to Chemical Engineering and Biochemistry books lol.


2nd picture, showing all my current deck boxes, storage and more current up to date cards which I use to compete in tournaments, alongside some plushes I've bought/earned and a Koopa Troopa just for kicks. All at the top of my wardrobe.


3rd picture is a more simple one, showcasing my City Championship medals, all from different cities throughout Mexico, and one has different pins attached to it earned at the local leagues playing more casual games.

I decided to include my TL screenname here because I think it's the least 'interesting photo' and so not to ruin the amount of things in the other pictures (editted earlier photo because of wrong phrase):



4th picture is a view from the top of my 4 drawers filled with even more Pokemon cards and other assorted Pokemon stuff, like freesbies, figurines and stuff. I didn't want to pull everything out as it'd be a mess, but all 4 of them are easily 1x0.5m and crammed full of Pokemon stuff.

And that's it . I've been playing the Pokemon TCG and GB/GBC/ADV/DS games ever since the beginning, and I've always been competitive in both. My interests are broadening now, and playing Starcraft alot more is one of my new main interests, which is why I would be ever so grateful if I were to be selected for a Beta key from you kind sir. Thank you for holding such a giveaway and even if I don't win I hope you enjoyed the pics.
