I built this computer about a month ago, and just added in the third screen on the left. Although, I got the wrong cord, I need to buy a Mini Display to DVI or DVI to DVI for it to work. Well here are some crappy pictures, I'll get better ones up when everything is fully done! It has 2tb of HD, 16gb of ram, soon gonna upgrade to 32gb, 2gb HD Radeon 7870 Graphics Card, quad-core 4.2ghz processor, pretty awesome if you ask me!

"Fun fact: if you say this every time a professor does something to a complex-number equation that drops the imaginary part, they'll eventually move the class to another room and tell everyone else except you."

+10 nerd points if you show up to school or a party with this pumping.

 
I got called a nerd last night playing LoL. I told a kid that I have steel skin and his insults could not penetrate me unless they were adamantium. And since he was Fizz, he is only a gay fish and did not posses adamantium.
 
Lololol such bullshit. You wouldn't be able to learn everything there is to know about even ONE of those languages in a summer, let alone all of those. (Besides C--, which doesn't exist)
 
+K for getting that joke. Probably flies over most peoples heads (like all this video game stuff is doing to me)
 
I'm thinking about getting back into WoW. I used to play about 2 years ago from burning crusade untill WoTLK but never was any good i'm pretty sure i had a level 30 hunter and that's about it. I've played a lot of vidya sense then and just have felt like getting back into it. Should i?
 
haha yeah like, i enjoy gaming but this is way out of my league.

i thought of that in my maths exam today btw, made me smile haha. some more nerd humour:

Yes! It's very fun now with Cataclysm too, plus with Mists of Pandaria coming out with the new monk class, that should be amazing I heard the monk is really fun!
 
private servers are a fucking joke. I spent a few months on some private servers and I was unable to find a large amount of skilled players; plus, 5k population is absolutely tiny.
 
Posting this from a Sager np8130 w/ GTX 670m, 128gb SSD, 8gb RAM, i7 3610QM @ 2.3 GHz

Shit loads quick as fuck and the startup is less than 15 seconds with the SSD and I
 
For character, the good thing about WoW is it's really whatever suits you and just seems awesome! Haha. I personally like the Alliance, but I know that I really want to try out the Horde sometime cause I think some of the characters are sick in it. I play a Worgen as my main, and a Gnome as my off character.

As a class I play a Unholy Death Knight, and a Rouge, both of which I like, personally I love being a death knight more, which that is what my main is. Onto your class though, Paladins are definitely good, they are also very hard to kill depending which talent tree you are in. They are also the only class that can, either, heal, tank, or DPS. This gives you a good variety of things, so it also depends on what you will want to be doing in game. I used to tank with my main spec which was blood, then I switched over to DPS, thats the good thing, you can pretty much choose two of those and dual spec for a few gold if I remember correctly. Also, choosing your class depends on what you want to be doing, do you want to run up and be right in the middle of battle? Do you want to have your pet go and attack while you lay back and attack with ranged weapons, or do you just love spell casting and like staying a little farther away from the crowd. All of these have to be taken into consideration. The choice is really up to you and what your style of gameplay is! Also, here are the talent trees which at the moment is best for paladins if you choose to stick with it.

Holy (Healing) http://www.wowhead.com/talent#sMIbzrkuufohbMZzb

Retribution (DPS) http://www.wowhead.com/talent#sbZRbMZcrGRbosdfk

Protection (Tank) http://www.wowhead.com/talent#sZGMhcRddRRucbu

Make sure you also really get to know the class you choose and make sure you know what all the different spells do, you want to be a good paladin, so you need to know your way around the class very well to do that! I hope this helped!
 
My list of why I am a nerd/geek:

- I started playing Morrowind and Oblivion when I was in 7th grade. I had PC and Xbox versions and modded the shit out of both of them. I waited like 5 years for Skyrim to come out and made the first Skyrim thread on NS back last July.

- I have read the Harry Potter series in English, French and bought and listened to every single audiobook UK and American version. Same goes for Lord of the Rings - I just haven't read the French versions yet

- I still have my PS1 and gamecube and play them both regularly. Last summer I spent 24 hour straight playing and beating LOZ: Twilight Princess to see how fast I could do it.

-My favourite sport next to skiing is dressage

- I haven't taken a break from taking school classes in over a year

- I taught myself how to write HTML in 7th grade

- I still have the majority of my Redwall books by Brian Jacques and I still like to read them

- I spent nearly every Friday night last year taking guitar lessons instead of hanging out with friends

- I am incredibly interested in history and bought 3 art history books in the Vatican

- When in Rome, I spend my free time going to Churches and admiring frescoes

- I corrected the tour guide in the Vatican and on Palestine hill.

-Taught myself preliminary Russian, German and Italian.

- Me and my grandfather enjoy trying to translate Tales from Herotodus in Greek when we hang out together despite the fact that we have no Greek background

-I used to subscribe to a horse veterinary magazine and volunteer at a vet's office for over a year

- When I was in 8th grade I was part of a WoW group with all the boys in my class

... okay this is starting to get humiliating...
 
I really like worgen too, i've nevery played one though. As for death knight, don't you have to already have a level 55 char to roll with one? I think I might switch over to alliance, i'm only level 8 right now. I really liked deathknights when they first came out but was never an high enough level to play one. Worgen are really cool i think i might wanna play as one, i only used to play alliance and i liked it. If i stick with pally i'm pretty sure i want to DPS.
 
I'm not sure about the server im on either. Someone wanna give me server sugestion? The server i'm on (I think ravencrest) seems pretty empty. You said you wanted to try horde make a char and level with me:)
 
Come to Mannaroth, roll a Alliance char, and message me ingame. Ill help level you, and also get you in a level 25 raiding guild (bamboozled) I main a MM/Survival Hunter, and also have a Pally that I heal on, along with a Worgen DK.

You can find me on Deleb, Galonis, or Strikerpaws.

Dont worry about the racial benefits, until MoP, because it is so balanced at the moment there isnt much of a difference. However, pandas racial benefits are starting to look key in the coming expansion for PvP and Raiding.

To the girl who posted, I still have every single Redwall book, and I want to cry when I think about them, and my destroyed childhood. Like literally a tear was brought to my eye in Nonstalgia in how life used to be.

Also, anyone playing Starcraft 2, wanting to get a 2's or 3's team going?

ANNNDDDD Go pre-order Counter-Strike: Global Offense, it comes out this month, and is only like $13 at the moment.

I hate being an adult nowadays. Life sucks.
 
Dude sick! I definitly will message you, your name nurgle in there too? As for CS:Go i got to tour valve yesterday and they were putting some finishing touches on it, i'm pretty stoked. Also i'm on dota 2 if anyone else is and LoL. Anyways message me with your WoW name and stuff and i'll roll a char right away, probably will go with night elf or worgen maybe something else
 
Dorkiness doesnt mean lameness. I had a girl who would quote starwars and had me make her a pikachu text tone. She was awesome
 
I messaged you.

And Ive been wanting to tour their offices so bad.. You see the news release today that they are going to start selling software through steam? Should be cool.

Nah, dont play LoL, just SC2, but my claim is that I goto the Cybercafe of Team Green Forest who was top 10 on the NA ladder, and watch their practices. Cool dudes, interesting game, just a lot of more fun playing SC2.

And Ive been watning to try DOTA 2... oh well
 
I had a Cuban broad who would be down to pound, play L4D2, make me pies/cakes/cookies, and then go to the bar to drink and dance. Oh and then she got the Hyrule symbol tatted huge on her hips... I miss her.
