So a question....cause people are asking...

I have a Protoss keyring and a diamond Blizzard t shirt and I keep asking for more....like plushies...

Am I officially a geek? Or do people out there have more than me?

Can you make me feel better about myself?

[FaDeKerrigan]

IMO, an SC2 nerd exhibits behaviour such as

1) Purchasing GSL tickets to watch VODs on demand and possibly study and emulate Build Orders.
2) Constantly updated with the latest SC related news via forums etc TL or SC2SEA
3) Purchse SC related paraphernalia or gaming gear.
4) Justifies to his family and peers that SC is more than just a game.
5) Engage in SC talk/jargons whenever the social situation calls for it.
6) Will squeeze in a couple of games even if schedule does not permit.
7) Balance whine to similar played race peers.

Cheers to all the nerds out there! I know you're one too!

I have devoted my life to collecting and researching xel'naga artifacts so that I could create a warp gate of my own for my front door.
When I walk through the door I am warped into another world, to my parents it's just called Ro-Town the suburb we live in.
For Aiur!

I bought starcraft comics at a comic store.

I wont even attempt to argue that I'm not a starcraft nerd after doing that and not even reading them.

(Why would I read them? No one, not even starcraft nerds care about the lore!)

Not reading them?? O_o Give them to meeeee

I suppose that a fine taste in females makes up for a poor taste in race

I have bought every premium level subscription for GSL, NASL and MLG. I enjoyed HomeStory Cup and Dreamhack for free!

I go to every local LAN (granted there's not that many), and nearly everyone in my Skype list is an SC2 player / personality. In fact the only people in my Skype list that DON'T play SC2 are my parents, and I'm workin' on that. Who wants to talk to anyone else? Not me.

I flew that one time to an interstate LAN to cast games all weekend, went straight from work to a plane and then Monday morning up at 4:30am with 3.5 hours sleep on my way to fly back home to not miss any hours at work! Planning to do it all again in a month's time.

I flew that one time internationally to Blizzcon, and basically imploded with excitement every 20 minutes at everything Starcraft. Spent ages looking at artwork, playing the new expansion alpha and loving it, and also telling WoW nerds they're ridiculous for not being SC2 nerds. Met some of the biggest Starcraft personalities and loved every second of it, would go again this year if the damned thing wasn't cancelled. Will probably go to the big tournament instead!

One time I was wearing my zerg shirt (I have 6+ SC2 shirts) at the super market with my girlfriend and was paying for groceries. I swiped my ATM card, and entered my PIN and turned to her to say "Holy shit did you see that f*cking apm? I totally understand if you feel the overwhelming desire to take me right here right now." She didn't, must have the will-power of a saint.

Sigh. Such an SC2 nerd it's actually really quite sad T_T

I'm so much of an sc2 nerd that i like making other people play so i can watch and be entertained (esl, seacl, Byrnsy gm challenge... probably more to come too )

[aLtMrFool]

Lol maynarde your story makes me happy but yet funny that I'd laugh at it( your girlfriend part where you told her about the APM shatz ). That's really some dedication to being an SC 2 nerd.

As for me I live in singapore so the whole community of SC2 isn't really that big.. Most of the time my friends just watch me play and go ' what in the ******* world are you doing/playing? I couldn't see shit' and the only people apart from my lovely brothers who play SC 2 casually that I know who play SC 2? I know them from SC 2 or WoW players (I used to play WoW) who now play SC2 like one game a month :| I wish I knew more people IRL that plays SC 2.. Would love to have blanters and chat about SC 2 with like-minded people! Sadly now it applies only to my brothers but damn.. I hit like 1-6 on kerrigan's post.. I'm a nerd now

Classic stuff right there!

Also, do you feel like quitting a game if your split isn't good enough?
