Nerdiest possession

I suppose for me it depends on what nerd you want. The comic book nerd? (although admittedly, that one hasn't been around for a while) The anime/manga nerd? The book nerd? Or the orch dork? Because I have a little something for each.

I guess I'll go with my collection of Violinist of Hameln manga, in Japanese, in addition to the art book, the postcard books and the drama CDs from my anime days. I headed myself off at the pass before I started buying stuff from Rinkya, like toys and shit. It's all in Japanese, and it's not like I can understand it. But I can stare at it and love . For regular comics... I still retain my collection of Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics, from #0-125, plus all the mini-series and super-specials in between (Knuckles, Tails, Princess Sally, etc). Almost all are NM condition. I also have a shit-ton of anything to do with Venom or Carnage... and some Dawn stuff. No variant covers or anything, though.

I don't think I'm that nerdy with music. Granted, I manage to get all the CDs from Kaizers Orchestra from Norway, but they're my favorite band. If I had all the singles in the various vinyls, then I'd be being a nerd about it . I also have autographed CDs from Dax Riggs, Andrew Bird, Muse and the White Ghost Shivers (local ATX band). I also am working (apparently) on a collection of Vaughan-Williams music for viola. And viola music in general.

And books...well... I have around 400. I suppose for some people that's not a lot, but for the amount of space I have it is. My library is here, although it needs some updating. I have to renew my membership.

Aside from that... I dunno. I own a Dreamcast? And a Sega Nomad. All the old Sonic games. That might count for something.

How ya doing, buddy?

All the figures aside, probably my nerdiest possession would be the X-Japan Virtual Shock 001 for Sega Saturn. Being a huge fan of X, I HAD to buy it even though I didin't have a Saturn at that time (bought one a year later).

Well I cosplay and thats probably the nerdiest thing a white tiny girl could do. I like doing it, makes me feel like a different person or I'm the character all along or something @_@!

I also have a collection of anime plushies (gintama, nana related) and even a Toro plushie and those are just for plain awesome or cuteness. The toro plushie alone was 30 bucks :S and you know Toro is fuckin awesome.

Oh, besides that also own the first shin megami tensei games (genesis and snes versions). And thats just for "HAHA I HAVE THEM" quality. Not that I'd play them since they are in japanese and I have perfectly good ROMs, but heyyyy they are awesome

I was speaking idiomatically.

2 5-shelf bookshelves of manga. The shelves go to the ceiling. There is almost no space left. I'd post pics but they wouldn't be recent.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Now you mention it, I have a couple of others, though not that seriously nerdy:

Spoiler:

They're taking the hobbits to... Minas Tirith?

Spoiler:

There are only 150 :madface:

Spoiler:

Erm.... boo!

Spoiler:

You name it, we've got it.

Spoiler:

I've also got Gon stashed away somewhere.

How ya doing, buddy?

An R4DS. Being a Nintendo pirate is nerdy.

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

I have Yamato Macross transforming toys of the VF-1S and YF-21. Plus the strike armor for the former.

I also have 8" figurines of GlitchBob and Matrix from Reboot.

(I have Skies of Arcadia... for Gamecube)

This reminds me that my father still has R.O.B. and Gyromite.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Even I've got that. I've never played it but I do own it.

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

I have Skies of Arcadia on the Dreamcast (a white-label disc direct from Sega no less), so what? I didn't realise fairly common games made it onto the list of overly nerdy things to possess. If they do then I've got a whole load of things to be classified as nerdy possessions.

I collect alot of figures. It's just the amount of is nerdy not so much as collecting figures itself. Well that is.. but.. you get the point.

Shelf

Spoiler:

And 1 shelf(6 level) that is not shown is solely dedicated to Touhou doujins which is now full. Another part of the shelf is artbooks. 2 for mangas and 2 for anime. But if I had to say the truest nerdiest item I own is my Yuyuko Saigyouji Dakimakura. Heh.
