You Know You’re A Geek When…

1 – You find yourself consoling friends by saying “When there’s a widget, there’s a way!”

2 – Your friends are sat around talking about how they’ve gotta get home for the “big game”, and you ask if they’re watching “Fatal1ty take on Sir n00binator” as well. Oh dear. Oh dear.

3 – You sell out your real friends for those on Xfire, and miss your best-friends birthday party due to a “long-scheduled scrim”. Me figures he was born before the scrim was arranged. Pitiful.

4 – You know the price of the Optimus Maximus keyboard, know that it’s also Shakespeare’s birthyear, and worst of all… think that dropping $1,564 on it is money well spent.

5 – You’re more likely to give a girl your Twitter name than your phone number. Worse, you think that makes you incredibly cool.

6 – You give a crap what people think about you in forums, but not in real life.

7 – When people ask you about your accomplishments in life, you’re more likely to tell them you’re a level 70 on Warcraft, than the fact… well. Rather than anything else. I mean, nothing can compare, right?

8 – When people ask for your address, you assume they want your IP address, or website address – rather than… you know. Your address.

9 – You have SERIOUSLY accused people during sport (when you actually get round to playing it) of using aimbots, cheats and speedhacks. Not cool.

10 – It’s not unknown for you to give dirty looks to little kids asking silly questions. Once or twice, you might have even screamed “RTFMNOOB!” (particularly if you’re a Linux user).

11 – It’s easier for you to count in binary, and like so… 1. 2. 4. 8. 16. 32. 64. 128. 256. 512. 1024. 2048. 4096. 10192. 20384. 40768. And no… of course I didn’t just type that off by heart. *shifty eyes*

12 – You refuse point blank to use computers other than your own – knowing you’ll end up in a state of mental distress by the end. The speed, the way they’re administered, and the mofoing fact that they all use Internet Explorer tip you over the edge.

13 – You build your own computesr (and hackintoshes), but point-blank refuse to buy the 10-quid “guarantee” that Scan offers on your parts – even when they cost £10k, knowing that nothing will go wrong with you in charge.

14 – When you make a comment in class, or to a fellow employee – you always start it with “rem”, which you find more pronouncable than “//”.  You also “talk\ like\ this”.

15 – Dual-booting is for sissies. Your thing octi-poople-boots.

16 – Your USB-stick pen-drive (whatever the fruitcake you wanna call it) is larger than most people’s primary hard-drives.

17 – You discover yourself laughing at, nodding along to and enjoying this post. You also understood it all. Shame on you.

I wrote this myself. Rip them off without credit and I’ll kick yo’ ass. Rip ‘em off and linkback to this post… that’s cool. Claim them as your own and hell. If you aint paranoid, you’re dead already.
