Is this "has seen" or "is really into"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 minutes ago

Yes, also transformers the toys or the movies? I loved the toys as a kid and would love those toys still today. I lost interest in the movies after the first.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Either. Heck "follows written instructions" qualifies. I'll give ya a bonus point for "requesting clarification of ambiguities", nerd.

What happens in that "one episode of the thing"?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Walter and Jesse have unsimulated anal sex with each other.

It was the most graphic 235 minutes of the entire series.

A personal favorite episode of mine

Now here’s the twist, and there is a twist: We show it. We show all of it. Because what’s the one major thing missing from all action TV shows these days guys? …Full penetration. Guys, we’re gonna show full penetration and we’re gonna show a lot of it! I mean, we’re talking, you know, graphic scenes of Walt really going to town on this hot young Jessie Pinkman. From behind, 69, anal, cowboy, reverse cowboy, all the hits, all the big ones, all the good ones.

Can I get an extra box for "Doctor Who should never be written with Doctor abbreviated?"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Yes.

In fact, it works as a triple score bonus, as are all of the following: Quintessons, Shattered Glass, the Silmarillion, Babylon 5, putting DS9/Voyager above TNG, non-televised sport, Gojira, and "I'm not a fan of Anime/Manga I only like [Insert, odds on Gainax, title or studio here]".

I checked too many boxes. I guess nerdiness runs deep in me.

Adding additional boxes is in itself a secret extra box that you have to check now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well, I’ve already checked a few so one more can’t hurt.

If we need to ask whether something belongs on this list, the answer is yes.

Except Babylon 5. For Babylon 5, the answer is a new language concept called a triple-yes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

A friend of mine got fired from his old job by telling his boss that Babylon 5 was a big pile of sh*te.

And if you're a nerd, you'll know that that wasn't actually a friend of mine, but Tim Biseley, one of the protagonists of turn of the century TV show Spaced, played by Simon Pegg.

No early German expressionist cinema?

But they were all of them deceived, for another checkbox was made.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

but you told me to check the boxes! i'm a nerd for following instructions now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Correct, nerd.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do the options "Written Sci-fi" and "Written Fantasy" also apply for writers, not consumers?

Because I once wrote both a sci-fi and fantasy story, so I'd check those.

You get double marks for bring a creator.

TTRPGs are for jocks.

Um ahkshually this is a comic community and many of these franchises did not start as comic franchises and therefore don't belong on a list in this community. You're not a real comic book nerd unless your checklist begins and ends with Watchmen.

Boomer as fuck.
