I played one of the last games made with the doom engine: strife.
Really cool game!

More geek qualifiers for me:

I have a CD recorder with a hard drive in it

I have a DVD recorder with a hard drive in it

I have a satellite radio with a solid state hard drive in it
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Come to think on it, I know a freakishly large amount of info about Doc Savage, Sherlock Holmes (they were distant cousins, for instance) and The Three Stooges.

Lol.

Yeah as the Simon Pegg quote said earlier: Being a Geek is never having to play it cool how much you like something.

Geeky regardless of homoeroticness lol.

I have a passionate, eternal love for The X-Files, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV show, not the movie). When I was seventeen, I attended a three day BtVS convention and entered a costume contest dressed as the 'Buffy-Bot.' [emoji851]

Holy Fucking SHIT, I am SO. FUCKING. EXCITED. Like....I can't even put it into words. If someone were to ask me which event I was more excited about: the birth of my son, or finding out that Mulder and Scully are coming back...I mean...I have to really think about, lol. Nice to meet a fellow fan, btw! [emoji1]

Passion without worrying about coolness, that's geekiness for me... I think it's beyond coolness, it's too cool to be cool. For example: Lady, I love seeing that kind of enthusiasm, it's cooler than cool. Geek passion kicks ass. I've never even watched the X-Files but I love seeing your passion for it. It's like, I have huge amounts of passion for some music you've probably never heard... I'm going to see Steven Wilson live with my brother in Newcastle on the 30th of this month, I'm so fucking excited it's unreal. 2nd time seeing him live, and holy fucking shit OMFG last time was fucking incredible and this last album??? He's touring his latest stuff?! Holy fucking shit it's going to be good.
