Do any of you guys have Nerdy hobbies?

[ilyti]

Dungeons and Dragons: Satan's Game. I also do fencing (rapier combat), Archery, and use those two skills in the SCA (International Medieval/Rennaissance Historical Society). I'm also a History Major in University. I play in a metal band..that can be considered nerdy by some?

It all goes together! Especially considering your screen name. You have the potential for an amazing live show with all those skills!

I dunno if it's nerdy, but I've been painting abstract art for a couple of years now. It's enjoyable, but I have no friends that understand it whatsoever.

I like videogames a lot. Call of Duty is pretty much shit at this point imo but I love a good FPS like Team Fortress 2, Tribes:Ascend, Blacklight:Retribution, etc. I like RPGs and MMOs too, I played World of Warcraft for a year or two and started playing again recently and I also absolutely love all the Elder Scrolls games. I also enjoy the occasional Magic: The Gathering game with friends.
I don't let it consume my life though, I still have plenty of time for guitar, friends, etc. To me the gamers = no lifers stereotype has always made no sense.

I forgot to put Pokemon I have the first six hand held ones(u.s.) but yellow doesn't work and I want to get green even though I can't read japanese. and Liking cougars is nerdy? I just thought it was weird but eh if it is I guess I get more nerd points.

This 1,000 times for me.

Although since the patch, its incredibly difficult to get into a normal server with all the maps in cycle. Even if I select a DICE server I get put into "eNRAg3D k1llER DawG's SERVER OF AWESOME" with 600 ticket rush and Sharqi Peninsula, gulf of oman, sharqi peninsula, sharqi, gulf of oman, and operation metro.

I hate sharqi peninsula so much and every server has it in cycle like three times.

guitar. no seriously talk to someone who isn't a guitarist about the complexities of playing and they will stare at you blank faced and call you a nerd. I also play video games but then that's quickly becoming the norm so i cant count that as nerdy anymore.

I guess my nerdy hobby is being a clandestine chemist. I love nothing more than reading up on new techniques, doing my own experiments, collecting literature, etc.

Used to play Warhammer a long time ago when I was in grade school but didn't have the time or money when I got to high school. Had an Orcs & Goblins army for Fantasy and a Tau army for 40k. It was super nerdy, but I don't regret a thing. Putting together and painting those models was incredibly fun and relaxing for me once I got better at painting. I like to think that considering I was only 12 at the time I painted pretty damn decently.

used to be this, I had a ton of half finished Chaos Marines armies laying around, I had some pretty sweet plans going for them too, now the closest thing to "nerdy" hobbies I have is my addiction to diesel engines and the sort of culture that comes with it (sled pulling, drag racing, etc)

-Watching anime, reading manga
-Playing video games: Alice Madness Returns is just wow for me.
-Bonsai trees
-Reading sci-fi, mainly William Gibson and Philip K. Dick
-I am also fascinated by Warhammer 40k, but never had the money to start playing it

Video games
Magic The Gathering
Guitar

Those are my three main things. I take great pride in being a "nerd" if that means being myself and doing what I love.

I like to watch tv shows, some favourites are: The X-Files, The Twilight Zone, NCIS and currently Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad.

I like to read, most nonfiction with some exceptions like Catch 22, 1984 and At The Mountains of madness.

Playing video games, fps and co-op games.

Funny to see some people consider playing guitar to be nerdy. Guess it depends on what you play

I have some Nerdy hobbes:

-I work on PCs. Not as serious as I used to, but whenever people have a computer question, they usually ask me. Sadly I've forgotten most of what I learned in my A+ cert class back in high school, so nowadays I have to refer them to someone else. But as far as doing stuff like swapping RAM/CPUs/Peripheral cards, I'm pretty capable of doing that and doing so quickly.

-Xmen comics. My cousin is a huge X-men nerd and since she's my BFF, I pretty much am one too by default because that's most of what I hear about in a conversation with her.
Hell I didn't even know Wolverine's last name was Howlette until we started hanging out.

-Lord of the Rings nut. I kinda gave up on it, but I've always wanted to learn to write/speak in the High Elven/Dwarven/Orcish tongues. The linguistics part of the story intrigue me greatly.

-I've been a gamer since the age of 3 and I'm 26. Never been too much of a fan of online gaming (I hate people ), but my childhood was pretty much entirely dedicated to video games. These days, too much shit competes with my time to play 24 hours straight like I used to, but when I'm bored at home, you can bet that Skyrim or Oblivion will be playing on my computer.

-I haven't played it in years, but I used to (and still do) love playing Magic: The Gathering. I had a black deck that was themed around siphoning life points and creating bats/boosting them to ridiculous levels. The story theme of it was about fanatical, hypocritical church which I found both ironic and humorous. The vampire creature in it did some amazing damage too.
