what is your specialty?

[mcj metroid]

this seems like a risky thread,but it seems original enough anyway

ok everyone has something they are a nerd on.There are star trek nerds,gaming nerds,car nerds,nerds on tech and stuff which means they know a hell of a lot about it!What is yours?

i am a wwe nerd who can tell u the main event of most ppvs from 1994 to 2003ish(really after the name change)
,i know alot about the tv show red dwarf
,chart toppers in the 80s
harry potter books
and usually nintendo games but not as good as some of u:santa:

[Mr_Odwin]

I guess there are several things that I'm a bit nerdy over.
I'm a statistician so have a strong maths background. But having said that, the field of mathematics is so large that someone may well ask me a question that I know nothing about. And, if you don't use a certain maths technique regularly you tend to forget how to use it at all.
I like video encoding/decoding/dvd authoring. I don't know why, it's just interesting to me. I started because I wanted to know how to get downloaded stuff onto my tv; I didn't have the lead to connect my graphics card but I did have a dvd burner.

[Roostophe]

Whenever I'm bored I always go onto Wikipedia and look up the history of football clubs.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Good thread. :)

I think many of my friends would call me an Oasis nerd. 90's music in general is a particular strongpoint for me.
Some would also class me as an "Alien" nerd (the films). I know there are bigger (and worse!) fans than me out there, though. Scary thought. :heh:

[Haver]

I'm actually pretty good with Celebrity. Somehow, I'm able to digest and store that data better than any other information. Besides that particular talent, I'm pretty nerdy about History and Politics and Science and Dinosaurs, although I don't actually know that much and I'm frequently wrong, but I like listening to people who do know that much and are not frequently wrong.

And words, words in general. They're more like my friends, though.

[Noodleman]

Formula one :geek:

[The Bard]

I am a Chrono Trigger nerd, as almost everyone already knows. I am also a huuuuge music nerd, music of any kind is enough to get me ranting and raving for hours on end.

[Sarka]

To most of my friends I'm a complete nerd when it comes to gaming - however, I can't claim it on this board as so many of us have that speciality.

I really don't think I have one! I know the basics of loads of stuff (HTML, CSS, PHP, C++, movie editing, maths, etc) and I can learn things quickly - but (apart from gaming) I don't have one! This is as depressing as when my friend filled out a survey that asked "What awards and acheivments have you acomplished". She had none.

[Action]

Halo 2 nerd know story can say cut sence of by heart know the maps the guns ect.

[conzer16]

I know I shouldnt say it, but Politics......

Modern Irish Politics and to some extent UK and American too.

Im a news junky. Cant get enough news.

[demonmike04]

Pokemon
Animal crossing
How to fix a computer by fluke.

[mcj metroid]

oh yes i left out harry potter

[ReZourceman]

Comics
Roller Coasters
Lego
Pokemon.


Tis' about all. Im a partial Movie-nerd but not mental.

[Shino]

I'm a gaming nerd, and "the computer guy" for the family and friends, I don't like the hardware part that much, although I love programming. Photoshop is also one of my specialties but I don't think it's at a nerd level yet. People think I have a natural aptitude for drawing, but I only draw when I'm bored and after it I don't want to do it anymore. Also, a serious fan of Naruto and Stargate SG1.

[Eenuh]

Drawing I guess? Other than that, there's really not that much I think. Compared to my environment, I'm a bit of a videogame nerd apparently. And I'm also passionate about nature and animals. So I guess that counts, maybe.

[CVD]

World Wrestling Entertainment.

[EchoDesiato]

I play bass, but it's hardly a "specialty". I'm not bad at it, but I wouldn't call myself an amazing bassist. I used to draw a lot when I was younger, but now I just draw when I'm bored in class.:heh:

So, it seems I don't really have a specialty...

[The3rdChildren]

God, I don't know. I like to talk a lot about Neon Genesis Evangelion, but I don't exactly know a great deal about it. Most of my knowledge has been attainted by spying on forum groups. Groups of fans whose knowledge far exceeds mine and amassing their collective findings to keeping them for myself like a greedy troll.

I don't really have any specialities. Suggestions?

[Ginger_Chris]

The natural world, animals in general have always facinated me since i was a small child. But i probably know the most about Invertabrates (spiders, insects etc).

[Haver]

Evangelion
Pokemon
Figurines
gremlins
Kevin Costner
Primary Objectives

Etc etc etc etc.

[conzer16]

World Wrestling Entertainment.


<snip>

Whats with everyone and the coloured text?

I thought that was the Bard's speciality?;)

[Haver]

Wow. This is great. I'm never going back!

[Dan Dare]

I know a fair ammount about Marvel Comics I guess. Although by some standards I'm strictly infant like.

oh, and I do love films. I don't watch them all the time but years of living near the best independent cinema for many, many miles + a great english teacher with a passion for european art house has groomed a great love of all things pretentious and celuloid.

finally, I intend to be a wine nerd one day. It just feels like something I should get into :)

[Hellfire]

I'm a gaming nerd, specially Nintendo and I'm a Star Wars nerd.

[conzer16]

This is all my fault.......:cry:

[Shino]

Do you not like Hellsing too?



I just wanna feel part of something.

[Monopolyman]

Mafia's and organised crime. Don't ask me why, but I just seem to know quite alot of stuff in this area. Have several books and movies on it and all, and, y'know just find that facinating


I'm also a bit of a film geek as well.


EDIT: Aw, feck. Are we starting a coloured text fad, now.

It's bound to piss me off at some point.

[CVD]

I also live being in charge when it comes to organising events, holidays and booking tickets etc. I'd say my other speciality is being the organiser.

Man, I can't wait for WWE in Manchester, 3 months left...

[Letty]

I know a lot about plants, and how they work etc.

[Sarka]

I also live being in charge when it comes to organising events, holidays and booking tickets etc. I'd say my other speciality is being the organiser.

I love organising things at school aswell! Me and Eilidh are the ultamite organising team! Though I suppose it's much easier organising a Eco Comittee picture board than a holiday...

[Fierce_LiNk]

Right, so what turned out to be quite a decent thread has descended into this?

[/Locked]

Edit: I've unlocked it.

I'm not petty enough to get into a stupid argument such as this.

[demonmike04]

YAY

Only kidding, thanks flink!

[mcj metroid]

yeah thanks.Still hate u though:D

[The3rdChildren]

It would seem one of my specialties on this forum is stirring up revolts against the mod/admin team.

[AshMat]

I try to know as much as i can about Futurama.

[demonmike04]

Quite true, but lets stop with the colour joke =P

[Jordan]

Specialities huh? Who knows. I guess i'm fairly good at fixing problems with computers. I like to help others and i like to help others in need who don't have a voice to get their opinions across. Apart from that, i'm a huge games player and i love to write... games stuff mind.

[mcj metroid]

...........what have i created?

I'm pretty obsessed with iPods too, people always come running to me when one breaks down (No Jordan, I'm not going to blow Steve Jobs).

[Shino]

It would seem one of my specialties on this forum is stirring up revolts against the mod/admin team.

Déjavu. Is it cyclical in this forum? I remember something like this before I regitered.

Anyway, I like to spend hours around wikipedia reading every bit of useless information I come across, the kind of thing that if was ment to learn in school I wouldn't care.

[Jordan]

I'm pretty obsessed with iPods too, people always come running to me when one breaks down (No Jordan, I'm not going to blow Steve Jobs).

Yes you are Colin ;)

[mcj metroid]

when did we move onto obession!?I thought this was about things u know a lot about aw well i don't care.Mu obsessions are

men,red dwarf,family guy,wwe,harry potter etc
or is there a difference

[The Avenger]

Can you refrase nerd? It seems a bit racist.

[Ashley]

Do I really need to say?

[mcj metroid]

it's a bit discriminating i suppose but not racist.I mean what county are they from?nowhere.........nah i like nerd

[mcj metroid]

that's ok we all made mistakes.i used to read sonic the comic!What happened

[Ashley]

I have to say, back in the day i was a big Buffy obsessive.

What are you talking about, im totally into poodle-balling. Thats my thing of course :p

[JonSt]

I am a nerd on the following things

. Musical Instruments
. Star Trek
. ER

[mcj metroid]

If there was pokemon quiz just for the 150 pokemon i would rule supreme.How come quizes don't happen on this forum that often.Anywhere wehere i can take ye on?

I am a nerd on the following things

. Musical Instruments
. Star Trek
. ER
do u know much about sythns?i'm looking for one but am a bit stuck at the moment.

[The Avenger]

Let's start it on my new topic entitliling 'Pokemon Pop Quiz'!

[AshMat]

Let's start it on my new topic entitliling 'Pokemon Pop Quiz'!

Let's not, you make too many pointless threads as it is.

[Ashley]

Listen yeah, its the same thing with pokemon, if we were to have a contest like 4 years ago, i would of whipped your ass at a Buffy quiz good. dont forget

1) Would have, not would of :p
2) Yes, you would have as I didn't watch Buffy four years ago
3) Do you know what poodle-balling is?

[Dan Dare]

Can you refrase nerd? It seems a bit racist.

if it had anything to do with race whatsoever, you might be on to something

[Ashley]

You poodle-balled when you were 15? You slut.

Anyway this is getting a bit silly and off topic.

Obviously my speciality is Veronica Mars, and a lot of things relating to it (actors, crew, music, merchandise etc)

[Jordan]

No offence Ash, but how the hell do you enjoy such a mincy show?
Wow, i'm in a bastard mood today ;)

[Ashley]

Murder, suicide, deception, crime, violence, arson, scandel, underage sex (as in like 16, not 12) and drug use. Its hardly Queer Eye.

[Jordan]

Murder, suicide, deception, crime, violence, arson, scandel, underage sex (as in like 16, not 12) and drug use. Its hardly Queer Eye.

24 has all that, only it has Bauer so theres no need for sex. Seriously, though I can't see the excitement in it all. I actually sat down and watched it only to think afterwards "What the hell did i watch that for again?"

[Ashley]

24 has all that, only it has Bauer so theres no need for sex. Seriously, though I can't see the excitement in it all. I actually sat down and watched it only to think afterwards "What the hell did i watch that for again?"

Different folks and all that. I watched two episodes of 24 and never bothered watching any more. Im sure its a fine show but it seemed like a stereotypical guys wet dream to me. I much prefer teenage angst and I care not what people think of that.

(By the way, that wasnt a list of how the show is manly, but rather non-mincy)

To be frank I've never liked action films or war films or anything like that. They tend to be shallow so the idea of that on a weekly basis puts me off. Plus the idea that someone has such a bad day once every year (or other year whatever) seems too unrealistic to me. Yeah yeah, suspend your disbelief and all that but at the end of the day I'd rather watch Bell than Sutherland.

And, more superficially but still important, its very pretty (http://users.livejournal.com/_jems_/157585.html). I repeat (with a different link), its very pretty (http://users.livejournal.com/_jems_/157780.html). I'll shut up.

(Rambling is also a speciality of mine)

[BeerMonkey]

Nintendo Nerd
Xbox1 Nerd
Nerd on World of warcraft stuff
Nerd on Cars - makes, models, prices etc)
Nerd on WWE - me and my bro talk quite abit bout wrestling since we have been watching WWE nearly every week for around 12 years now :)
Nerd on big brother


im sick to death of coloured text i dont even bother reading posts now unless in standard colour (so you can imagine how many of bards posts ive scrolled past)

[Aimless]

I'm not a nerd, I'm a geek.

[Meik]

The history of potatoes from 1955-1982.

(I'm quite knowledgeable about theme parks/rollercoasters, Metroid, videogame/movie soundtracks and obviously 24.)

[Supergrunch]

Science, especially Biology and Chemistry, as I expect people have noticed.
Japan, and Japanese.
Maths, though not at the same standard as Odwin (I'm halfway through double maths A-level).
Grammar and stuff.

[Hellfire]

I was also a Pokémon geek, forgot about that.

[conzer16]

I forgot to say Chemistry too.

(Chemical Engineer and all that....)

[Kurtle Squad]

Video games stuff and news..probably not more than a lot, but more than the average person:heh: The same with Dinosaurs I guess, but to a lesser extent.

[MoogleViper]

I used to be a Harry Potter nerd and an Artemis Fowl nerd but then I got out of it. I havent even got Opal Deception. :red:


Whats with everyone and the coloured text?

I thought that was the Bard's speciality?;)


Yeah it's really pissing me off.

[ipaul]

I suppose I know a fair amount about video games but not as much as some of the people on r-e. Apart from that theres a certain band I quite like.....

[mcj metroid]

I have taken it from the bard!haha he has been mentioned too many times for my liking

I suppose I know a fair amount about video games but not as much as some of the people on r-e. Apart from that theres a certain band I quite like.....
i like a lot of bands but i wouln't know a lot about them,just their songs

[link64uk]

transformers (as in the robots before anyone gets smart)
nintendo stuff but mainly zelda

[DanielTimothy]

Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Turbo, Space, Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, Space Patrol Delta and Mystic Force.

[Demuwan]

DRAGON BALL Z
and NINTENDO

sad i know *and ARSENAL*

and "The meaning of life"

[Zell]

I am known amongst my friends (and generally my year) as being quite the boff. I like haven't done any work this year, yet I'm still going to get all As & A*s. Also I am known as a games nerd a bit, I'm especially a Smash Bros nerd but thats the only game I'm truly obsessed with. I can also recite every line in the south park movie.

[Supergrunch]

I used to be very good on that cutscence in final fantasy, just before you fight seymour for the second time. I lost against him so much and had to go through it again that for a while I could recite every word.

[The Bard]

I always write in Dark Red. Does that make me special? Guess not.

My specialty is getting rat arsed on the steps in picadilly gardens and pissing off my mates, so they have to carry me to the bus, even though they love me really. Don't they?


I Suppose you can call my the Alcohol Nerd.

[Platty]

I guess you could call me nerdy on the following:

Star wars
Nintendo
Oasis
Brit pop during the 90's (was growing up and just starting to get into bands and going to gigs when it was all happening, loved it)
Blink 182 (seriously obsessed with these for years after my brit pop days)
probably many others that i cant think of right now or dont wanna tell you about :P

[Zombie_Fan]

1. I'm a horror movie nerd
2. I use to be a Pink Floyd nerd, but now I'm into old school punk.
3. I'm a George A. Romero nerd.
4. I use to be into anime in high school, but now I don't like it.

Im a nerd and damn proud of it.

[Bluejay]

Uncontrollable falling down is my speciality, or Simpsons maybe?

[knightendo]

Knight Rider and Nintendo nerd to my friends lol, hence my online moniker! :D

also war of the worlds, and sharks! love them! "careful now..."

[gaggle64]

My nerdiness, analysed:

38% politics, 34% F1 racing, 19% Nintendo, 4% Warhammer 40k, 4% PC, 1% Star Trek

[Blue_Ninja0]

People think I have a natural aptitude for drawing, but I only draw when I'm bored and after it I don't want to do it anymore. Also, a serious fan of Naruto and Stargate SG1.

He really draws some crazy stuff.

Me? Well, just videogaming knowledge i think, specially nintendo.

[Supergrunch]

If anyone wants to analyse their geekiness, take the following test (without lying :wink: ):
http://www.innergeek.us/geek-test.html

I got 41.8146%, making me a "major geek" and something like 5th geekiest on animesuki.

[The Lillster]

Im a bit of a geekazoid.

Pc's (as in fixing problems, i.e keeping things working, technical stuff, etc...) And Nintendo, I'm a very big fan of Nintendo.

I'm the only Nintendo fan out of my friends, altough they are slowly starting to like them a bit more, now that psp is getting it's ass kicked. BASTARDS! How dare they, Being a Nintendo fan is my speciality! :mad:

[weeyellowbloke]

I tried that test and only scored 16%. There were just not enough questions that involved music or film, if there were that score would be a lot higher. If I came across a bundle of £1000 lying in the street, would I use it pay off increasing student debts? Would I buggery, I would head to the nearest record shop and spend spend spend.

Other things I'm nerdy about.... I suppose song lyrics (I just have to correct someone if they're singing wrong lyrics, just irritates me) and Simpsons quotes (one for any occasion). Does this annoy other people? Hell yeah.

[The3rdChildren]

Most of that test doesn't really apply to me, but I'm still going to wager I'm a geek. Or a dork, or even a nerd. Perhaps a combination of all three I'm going to deem a neerk.

[Haden]

19th century history. Yep I'm a preeeety cool guy.
Oh and Pimms!

[Supergrunch]

Most of that test doesn't really apply to me, but I'm still going to wager I'm a geek. Or a dork, or even a nerd. Perhaps a combination of all three I'm going to deem a neerk.
Someone called me a dweeb the other day. I forgot about them... Actually it annoyed him because I found it funny.

[Roostophe]

I got 5.32544% - Poser

I checked the box for "have been called a geek" because that's one of my dad's nicknames for me and my brothers.

[spirited away]

Use to be s simpsons geek but grew out of it.

Not much apart from Nintendo.

[AshMat]

Oh, also, css, though im not majorly fantastic at it, i know plenty about it.

[Blue_Ninja0]

If anyone wants to analyse their geekiness, take the following test

That test is too big, only geeks have time in they'r hands to answer it.:heh:
