What's your biggest nerd claim?

I used to rock out to the Nintendo 64 soundtrack

Is that nerd enough?

Death star planetarium, my bookshelf pretty much only has science books and comic books. periodic table shower curtain.

I don't fuck around when it comes to being a nerd.

also I don't personally play pokemon (besides gen 1), but my room mate, and my old room mate are two of the top pokemon card players in the country.

I don't get that though...

oh if you mean NERDCORE as in the music genre (which I suspect after talking about the n64 soundtracks) then I am NOT AT ALL.

2x gladiator and top 50 us raider in the world of warcraft for a while.

i got so good at cod: black ops that i would go like 100-5 regularly with like pistols and all of the garbage guns. my best kill streak was over 60 and best game was going 128-2.

i will always embrace my inner nerd - i still have nostalgia moments when i see clips from sailor moon, dragon ball z, and all that older cartoon japanese shit, and still play games.. just thankfully i've learned how to moderate and play for a couple hours once in a while and that's about it. when i was younger, i'd fall into that teenage nerd trap and just forget about life for a while while i obsessed in my fantasy world.

Going into Chemical Engineering for my major

I actively crack chemistry and physics jokes around my non nerdy friends

I have a NaCl diecut sticker that has yet to be used
NaOH

Im almost gold ranked in League of Legends

I had over 100 days played on my WoW characters back in 7th grade.

I have a completed pokedex on OG pokemon red

My dream job is to be an astronaut and repeat the science experiment to explain how stars essentially form in space

I'm pretty nerdy.
Almost gold ranked in LoL.
Can solve a rubix cube in 30 seconds.
I made the mecha from Code Geass out of Lego and posted them on a Lego sharing website.
I watch anime, but don't like to tell people I do.
And lastly I have the biggest nerd crush on Winry from FMA

For some reason i find this very attractive.

I don't really have a nerd claim to came other than I can solve a Rubik's cube in about 45 seconds, I read history books for fun and i kept my old Xbox around and still crack out Star Wars Battlefront II when I have some free time.

im ashamed i had to look that up. thats pretty good though haha

i dont go nearly as hard as any of you kids, but whatever:

studying chemical engineering
got unconditionals to study physics or chem eng at three universities (they didnt care what my grades in my final year were, they let me in anyway on the strength of my earlier grades)
level 50 on skyrim, played about 150 hours, at level 100 on most things
played well over 100 hours each on most zelda games, completed all of the n64/ gamecube games at least once, some two or three times
done the same with quite a few other games (100% completion on RDR, played Fallout 3 to death, played halo 3 an insane amount blah blah blah)
probably other things

actually im not that bad. whatever

it's rugged shit and stuff, but if you look at the average highschool xc team, they're a bunch of lanky nerds. one of my good friends is one of the fastest in ontario and all he does in his spare time is work out, physics, and chemistry to maintain his 90 something average.

I went out for this running club once because they asked me to come to one of their practices and they were the dustiest group of nerds. all super fast, but they had nothing to talk about but times and stats.

I hope you still have them, they're worth hundreds if not thousands of real $.

Also I played the original kingdom hearts and cried at times. That was in my emotional nerdy pre-puberty stage
