What kind of Geek are you?

blogosphere_56_geeks

Scott Johnson has created this great series of the 56 Geek types. it’s just brilliant and such a homage on modern day geeky lifestyle.

So here are all 56 geeks - check out which subculture you belong too - I have listed mine above (as much as I can find myself in there).

What is seriously missing is: porn geek, websurf geek, google geek, notebook geek, blog geek, art geek, green geek, nature geek and office geek.

The Big Bang Theory

THE BIG BANG THEORY

A screwball comedy about supernerds meeting a stupid blonde. I shouldn’t like it, but I do. That is scary enough for a 40 year old non-virgin.

But even scarier is that I understand all the nerdy jokes and references. I am seriously contaminated by Nerd culture. I am sick.

More? Official Site, Wikipedia and TV.com site.

Fear of Girls

(I know this is old stuff)

And another great Internet geek moment was born! ‘Fear of Girls‘ is a video about thirtysomething D&D players - and it is perfect. Way too perfect - it hurts! And the crowd at Slashdot went bananas!

I have been an early adopter of D&D here in Germany in the early 1980’s - so I know the crowd well. Yes, I did play D&D like mad (and many other pen and paper RPGs), I went to conventions, once again dressed up in fancy costumes, wrote my own adventures and campaigns, even published a role playing fanzine called ‘Maud Magazin‘ (fan magazin) and lived through the beginnings of the LARP madness.

The video is hosted by Google - so normally the link won’t work outside the US. Use this link if you live outside the Google Videosphere. Enjoy!

Lifesize Office Warrior Weapons

weird_office_weapons

Thinkgeek.com is my favorite Nerd Shop on da intranets. They always have the coolest and weirdest gadgets. So these rubber weapons really made my day. Just make sure to watch the painful nerd fight video on the product page.

Don’t forget to buy also a proper Chainmail shirt while you at it.
