    Used to roleplay, play text based strategy games, play battletech, had ~1,000 sci-fi+fantasy books, learn java programming and keep up to date with all facets of technology(from the latest advances in TN and S-IPS panels to changes to pixel shaders in a graphics card).

    Now I'm boring and "normal" :/

    While I can't remember any of it, I used to be able to do far too much with DOS than your average 12 year old should have been able to do in those times...

    When my parents left me alone in the house when is was 13/14, I didn't throw parties or drink or other wild things, I took the pc's apart and tinkered with them...

    That's how you learn. By breaking stuff then fixing it before people notice.

    edit: this practice is also acceptable in the real world, so it seems.

    i'd suppose i better answer this for real.

    i study computer science.
    i build pc's in spare time
    i play video games.
    i used to play them competitively for money.
    i love QI and a general love for interesting but completely pointless facts.

    anytime i see numbers be it a price in the shop or a number plate i'll try and make a sum out of it. :o

    Christ, where to start.

    I have a degree in technolgy.

    I am involved in a video game related start up.

    I work for one of the top three software companies in the world as a sftware consultant.

    I love transformers, comics, and all things 80's.

    I used to roleplay and occasionally went to cons. Then I got a gf :)

    I have alot of solitary pursuits I enjoy (reading, especially pratchett and DNA, drawing).

    Thats offset by the fact I play funky bass though, I think. :)

    Also, I consider nerd a complement.
