Witty Wednesdays - The Return

After a two week (?) hiatus, we're back!  And this time, with a topic some may find fascinating, and others may find irresistibly boring...

Nerd Confessions!

I'm a big fan of lists, since it prevents me from having to think as much, so we'll see how much info I can pump out before I get too embarrassed and back out. 

1. I grew up watching my older brothers play video games, hence I find watching people play video games a thoroughly entertaining activity.  It's probably because of this that I spent 4 hours or so a few weeks ago watching the DoTA 2 semifinals and championships.

2. I currently have 24.7 hrs played within the past two weeks on my steam accout. (although to be fair, a lot of those hours are when i go afk and just leave a game on.)

3. The longest I've ever stayed up was probably something around 55 hours.  We pulled one video game all-nighter (mostly Call of Duty and Warhammer) and then decided to do another one the next day.  I'm not sure whose idea that was, but we did, and it was terrible.  I slept for just a little under a full day afterwards.  Now that was glorious.

4. The notification sound on my phone is the Samus' appearance sound from Super Metroid.

5. I find video games with a good story more entertaining than most movies. Bastion, FF7, Half-Life 2, Starcraft 1 & 2, the Mass Effect franchise (and really pretty much anything by BioWare), FF3, and many others which I just can't recall right now.

6. I am constantly nostalgic for Super Nintendo games.

7. Sometimes I think I'm more concerned with my KtD than my grades.

8. My brothers and I idea of hanging out on a Friday/Saturday night? Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress, Starcraft 2. Seriously though, don't ask me what I did last week.

9. I am perpetually engaged in holding back nerdy comments and video game rants from leaving my mouth.  It's like the Hoover Dam people!

10. My high school laptop had an imprint on the left side where my wrist went when positioned over WASD.

And the list could go on, but I figure nobody can stand hearing about my nerd habits for more than a page, so I'll just sum it up with this...

Yeah, I own that shirt.

Forever embarassed,
