One fateful Monday, a group of Rioters got together to go to lunch. There were a few new people in the group and the conversation came up of "the nerdiest thing you did this weekend." We were all pretty pleased with what we did, and what WAS a self-pity party became a competition. Throwing our nerd cards on the table, as we called it.

Nick claimed "I watched a marathon of Star Trek The Next Generation" and proceeded to explain the synopsis of which involved cyborgs, Wil Wheaton, wives and faked deaths. Or something.

Nerd Card, thrown down.

It happened to be the week that I got back from LeakyCon, a Harry Potter convention. Boy, did I have stories. I picked one, "My friends stood in line for 3 hours to attend a panel for the stars of a Harry Potter musical, moderated by a man who, from the waist down, had on a centaur outfit."
(That same fellow plays LoL, by the way. We're friends now.)

A new fellow to the team countered that he had spent $200 at a local nerdy bookstore on indie pen and paper RPG books. We almost let him win.

Our first game of Nerd Cards was successful. I ask this on my Twitter sometimes, and as it's a Monday, the time is nigh.

What was the nerdiest thing you did this weekend? Throw 'em down.

staying up late constantly refreshing the forums to track Riot Nikasaur's every post


the usual

Went down to local hobby shop and played lol till 4 in the morning every night.

Prolly not the nerdiest but still fun none the less.

200 on pen and paper books? I've got every 3.5 DnD book to date, plus about 6 white wolf books.

And this past weekend i played some DnD as well as got the hammer of the soviet hammer and sickle tattoo.

I think i may win.

The Nika creepers are coming, can you hear them?

Yu-Gi-Oh marathon with me and a few buddies. First 40 episodes.

Went and played Catan with my friends then came home to surf the LoL forums and play LoL

pretty weak but hey, we can't all have super nerdy times all the time

Reading a lot of X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor, etc

I played 40 hours of Fallout in 3 days.

After doing PT each of those days to get ready for basic.

I'm so bad at being anything.

I spent my weekend helping a friend find the perfect anime tattoo to go on his arm.

He's torn between the Scar tattoo from Fullmetal Alchemist, and one of the Dragon Balls.
