Is this "has seen" or "is really into"?

[–] TeddE 11 points 1 month ago

Either. Heck "follows written instructions" qualifies. I'll give ya a bonus point for "requesting clarification of ambiguities", nerd.

Yes, also transformers the toys or the movies? I loved the toys as a kid and would love those toys still today. I lost interest in the movies after the first.

Edit: Oh, and I really liked the cartoons, especially Beast Wars.

What happens in that "one episode of the thing"?

[–] tourist 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Walter and Jesse have unsimulated anal sex with each other.

It was the most graphic 235 minutes of the entire series.

A personal favorite episode of mine

Now here’s the twist, and there is a twist: We show it. We show all of it. Because what’s the one major thing missing from all action TV shows these days guys? …Full penetration. Guys, we’re gonna show full penetration and we’re gonna show a lot of it! I mean, we’re talking, you know, graphic scenes of Walt really going to town on this hot young Jessie Pinkman. From behind, 69, anal, cowboy, reverse cowboy, all the hits, all the big ones, all the good ones.

Can I get an extra box for "Doctor Who should never be written with Doctor abbreviated?"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Yes.

In fact, it works as a triple score bonus, as are all of the following: Quintessons, Shattered Glass, the Silmarillion, Babylon 5, putting DS9/Voyager above TNG, non-televised sport, Gojira, and "I'm not a fan of Anime/Manga I only like [Insert, odds on Gainax, title or studio here]".

I checked too many boxes. I guess nerdiness runs deep in me.

If we need to ask whether something belongs on this list, the answer is yes.

Except Babylon 5. For Babylon 5, the answer is a new language concept called a triple-yes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

A friend of mine got fired from his old job by telling his boss that Babylon 5 was a big pile of sh*te.

And if you're a nerd, you'll know that that wasn't actually a friend of mine, but Tim Biseley, one of the protagonists of turn of the century TV show Spaced, played by Simon Pegg.

Adding additional boxes is in itself a secret extra box that you have to check now.

[–] KoalaUnknown 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well, I’ve already checked a few so one more can’t hurt.

No early German expressionist cinema?

My killy heal

But they were all of them deceived, for another checkbox was made.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Linux

PC gaming

Hyper-specific IT knowledge

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

but you told me to check the boxes! i'm a nerd for following instructions now?

[–] TeddE 4 points 1 month ago

Correct, nerd.

TTRPGs are for jocks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Um ahkshually this is a comic community and many of these franchises did not start as comic franchises and therefore don't belong on a list in this community. You're not a real comic book nerd unless your checklist begins and ends with Watchmen.

Boomer as fuck.
