What is your Nerd Rating?

[Reeve]

I gave myself a 91. I may have overstated my involvement with some of the items though. I'm guessing I'm closer to a 70.

[roflatorlunde]

128... idk what to say, I'm way nerdier than I thought :/ (My interest in math/science/pseudoscience - ie every kind of science raised the score a bit though)

Well, I'm happy w/ my life - Let the nerd be free!!

[lolo855]

I am a Nerd hipster, I was nerdy before it was cool, and now suddenly I am the man !

So prob over 9000

on topic, I think i am over 100, just from movies alone I get like 40 points. and sci-fi books etc adds another 10-15 points.

I had pretty impressive 40k table game collection. and warhammer, but that's quite a long time ago. so that's around 10 points.

reading mange +3, +3 animation, reading quite a lot of comic's, The WD etc, +5, and games prob another 30 points, from console, gameboy pc and MMO and PRG.

I think I am already at 100 and not done yet. OMg I am nerdy !

What is space opera?(ill add mine up later and not in the dusk of night..or morning...)

[Gothicshark]

What is space opera?(ill add mine up later and not in the dusk of night..or morning...)

Essentially a space opera is a Fantasy story set in a futuristic setting. Star Wars being the most Iconic and literal Space Opera. Star Trek is also a Space Opera but it has actual Hard and Soft Sci-Fi elements in it one reason why Star Trek was so good. an Example can you take the Sci-Fi Story and replace Technology with Magic?

Example:

Star Wars...Fantasy Wars
The Setting is now a high fantasy world, replace space with Oceans, replace Blasters with Black Powder weapons. The Deathstar is now an Island Sized Ship with a cannon capable of destroying an Island in a Single Shot. x-wings and Tie-Fighters are magic powered flying ships. The Deathstar Weakness is the Powder Keg. Robots are golem.

Star Wars would be very Steampunk if converted completely into Fantasy with out a major rewrite, but last I checked Warcaft is steam punk and Fantasy.

It is actually very interesting to test the setting change on most Sci-Fi to see if it would work as a Fantasy Story, Most would. However many of my favorite are Soft Sci-Fi and remain Sci-Fi no matter the setting.

101 - I'm surprised. I didn't think I was that nerdy. Scored 0 in a couple of sections, but racked up some serious points in the games, fiction (many bonus points for having quite a big book collection I guess) and TV/film sections.

[Orby]

I am not a nerd, I prefer the term geek :P

I am pop-nerdy apparently... I am not even aware of the term, maybe I am not nerdy enough to understand :P

[JajaBongs]

So I am very nerdy with 67, which are ~10% of possible points....you know that is pretty dumb

I am extremely normal I guess

[Arvidor]
