Nerdiest possession

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I own 100+ D20s, and I've never played any game requiring them.

I have bobbleheads of Joe and Viewtiful Joe.

I have a Gutsman action figure.

That's probably as nerdy as I get.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have a lot of little things as opposed to a few larger nerd items. In high school, I had a poster of the Enterprise-D with LED lights, and a bunch of Micro Machines Star Trek models. The fact that I didn't take them with me when I moved out tells how much I cared about them.

My large video game system collection (and the footlocker filled with old game boxes in my bedroom) not withstanding, much of my collection isn't all that nerdy. I've got several shelves of hockey pucks, and I spend about $100 each year at the annual marble show. The nerdiest purchase that springs to mind is the near-life-size remote control K-9 I bought in NYC this spring (and a 10th Doctor figure to go with it). I'm a big time Doctor Who nerd, and if more merchandise was available in the States, I'd buy it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Absolutely you will. You have an action figure of a woman with a dick.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Some Final Fantasy OSTs with Nobuo Uematsu's autograph on them. Got them by stalking him.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I must post for someone who no longer posts here that I know in real life. This is the trump nerd-possession. XerxesTheMighty owns storm trooper armor that he paid $1100 all together, and marched in the Rose Parade as a storm trooper with other storm troopers. TRUMP.

Posting newspaper article when I get home.

FELIPE NO

This thread's making me feel a lot better about buying and proudly using my Aperture Science mug from the Valve store.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Which is why I expected to get made fun of. But it's not technically an action figure seeing as you can't move the arms or legs or anything. Now if only they'd make a figurine of Flea from Chrono Trigger so I could put it next to her.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Fair.

I'd imagine Bridget figures are far easier to come by, though.

I own the first four Weird Al Yankovic albums on vinyl. Each one is autographed by Al. One album (In 3-D) is signed by each member of Al's band. I had to attend four different shows over a course of six or seven years and wait in line to get each one Hancocked.

I don't have them framed or anything (yet) but they're tucked safely away. It's my hope that I can get the first album signed by Dr. Demento as well someday.

I quite honestly envy you for that. I haven't even had a chance to see him perform live, as northern New Brunswick has pretty much squat in terms of concert tour dates. Now that I'm in Montreal I'll surely get a chance to go do that though.

Also, the reissues sound way better than the earlier CD editions. You should really buy them again.

[/rock n' roll nerd one-up]

I have to specify the fact that I collected the albums over the course of many months, constantly going back to one of the two record stores in my home town to pick up discs and order some more. I had pretty much squat for cash back then (hmmm... as I do now incidentally) and so to be spending a good chunk of my meager salary on a bunch of discs seems a bit nerdy. Once the re-issues came out, they were more readily available to me, first because they were actually carried by most record stores, and second because I had moved to a bigger city. It was all useless to me however, since I already had most of the albums.

As for that whole Dick's Picks thing though, all I can say is wow. I only wish I could say I've went to that extent of rock'n'roll nerdiness. Props.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

In elementary school, we used to have something called "Discovery Day" in which professionals from various fields ranging from politicians to apiarists would come talk to us about what they do.

One year we had the inventor of the Koosh ball come in for a chat. I still have his autograph (obtained on a whim) somewhere around here.

My Xenogears Perfect Works book is probably the nerdiest item I have. I'm a huge Xenogears fanboy and to own something like that is necessary.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've got Zelda: the Wand of Gamelon. No CD-i to play it on, sadly.

I'm so jealous... that thing is hard to find, and when you can find it, it's damn pricey.

FELIPE NO

Spoiler:

That's as bad as it gets for me.

I would've had myself posing behind the figurines with my Crash t-shirt but I couldn't find it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Sheesh... I don't know. My Tom Nook plush toy? I'll let you decide what's the nerdiest:

Spoiler:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Holy shit, son. Where was THIS treasure trove when we were there?

I also prop for Skies of Arcadia since I know a grand total of three people that have it; four now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thread over.

Jesus, Miles. That's some collection.

Original copies of Suikoden I and II? *jealous*

Most amazing jew boots

"PICK UP BOMB" "USE HOOKSHOT" "okay hurf gurf durf" like a fucking retard to get it. It was an event for little kids, too.

Also my Klax collection is quite nerdy nerd nerd shabadoo, with about twelve different versions. I actually put effort into obtaining a new copy of the Japanese Mega Drive one though, and got pretty excited while tearing the shrink wrap off.



I also have some Evangelion toys. And a calculator.

brb suicide.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ah, Skies of Arcadia. Got that one on both Dreamcast and Gamecube, but the nerdiest thing I've got? It's a tie between my AT-AT Walker Star Wars Miniature and my Halo 3 Legendary Helmet. Perhaps it's the Walker, seeing as I don't play that miniature-game, but fell in love with that damn piece of plastic...

I've actually got two copies of that for my DC. I'm considering holding some GFF-wide contest and using it as prize numero uno. Also, I lack Miles' Japanese swag, but I think both Skills and I are easily on pace with him for game collection.

*BUYS A TON OF SHIT*

BRADY IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A TON OF USELESS SHIT

I'M IMPRESSED

(PROPS)

Yes good, you wish you had my stuff, your envy makes my nipples hard.
