Let's see..When I was 11 or 12, I spent from 6 pm till 11 am playing some soccer game that I was addicted to for the N64.

2 days before my ap test on 100 years of solitude(300+ page book) I played Mass Effect without sleep until' I beat it.

And just a couple of days ago, I played Ninja Gaiden 2 from 9 pm till 7:30am, went to sleep..woke up at 12 pm, and finished it(the game) at 1 am on the following day. Not sure if that makes sense.

Also not sure how "nolife" that makes me lol. I was really happy that my girlfriend understood Ninja Gaiden 2 was an early birthday present from my uncle, so she didn't mind me succumbing to a no life state:-p.

I have on a few occasions chosen to play video games instead of go upstairs with my girlfriend.
That's not necessarily nerdy, your girlfriend could be hideous :p

Um... I dressed up as Link one Halloween, Harry Potter the next, a cop from RE2 the next (Would have been Leon but didn't have the right hair), Tokai from Red Steel the next, and Blockhead J from Gumby the next.

I spend hours of my life testing KO percents for Falcon's KO moves.

I watched Cameron Banga and co. try to beat 4 Zelda games in 48 hours.

I tell people who don't game my TF2 adventures.

I reference video games and Internet culture in real life all the time.

You guys think watching speedruns on Youtube is nerdy? ****, I'm screwed! I've watched dozens of speedruns, but more than that, I did one. I was well on my way to beating the 18:59 Mario 64 speedrun, but then Myles (the king of all things Mario 64) went and pulled a RIDICULOUS run that destroyed the old record by a full two minutes. I was so pissed because I only planned on beating the old record by thirty seconds or so. There's no way anyone can beat Myle's run, ever. I'm still angry when I think about it, but deep down I'm so impressed.

I also enjoy competitive pokemon. You have to memorize so much **** to know what to do in all the situation that are presented in that game. You need to at least be familiar with all the movesets and base stats of nearly 100 pokemon from the boarderline and overused tiers. And then there's the EV spreads, different natures, and hold items that can change the situation completely. Copy pasting stuff from Smogon will only get you so far. Creating a team with real synergy is hard! Somehow I find all this fun.

I camped out for the Wii

I enjoy reading my college physics book

I can do a rubik's cube in under two minutes

I'm teaching myself piano so that I can play video game themes

Need me to come up with more stuff? I try to counter my nerdiness by being awesome in other categories, but I'm still a pretty big nerd.
