I'm a Geek because:

1) I collect DC Silver Age comics. Have around 300 of them ranging from 1955 to 1969.

2) I collect sci-fi B movies from the 1950's.

3) I cry at the end of Rodan.

4) John Agar's life meant something to me.

5) I like going to sci-fi cons more than anything else.

I've loved the big bird and his mate for over 50 years! The ending gets me every time. But you're certainly more the Geek than I am Chris. Your knowledge and wide-ranged interests here prove that few are in your category.

When I was a little kid, I kinda cried at the end of Godzilla, though. It just seemed so wrong to kill him in that way...
*snif*

So did I. I saw all those wonderful 50's-60's monster movies when I was a kid. Others in the genre that I loved were:

Gidrah, The Three-headed Monster (best Japanses monster imo)
The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (the best of them, done by Ray Harryhausen)
The Giant Behemoth
The Giant Claw
Gorgo
Them
Cal-Tiki, The Immortal Monster
It Came From Beneath The Sea
The Monster Of Piedras Blancas
The Creature From The Black Lagoon
It, The Terror From Beyond Space

To this day the issue stands unresolved.

2. I own and play games on a working Commodore 64 in my basement.

1. I always keep 2 spares of the Firefly box set to give away when needed. Not to lend...TO GIVE. Like a missionary handing out bibles.



Browsing post, guess will list mine in a mo but on point 1, given that Warhammer Orc Armies can include a unit of black orcs, which are painted in darker, green/black ie Tolkien colours, I would go with Tolkein although he didn't exactly invent them.

That the first point I guess

Erm... I still hark on about doing my work experience at a computer firm and learning how to put computers together when you had to understand dip switches to get them to work.

I am freaked out by GUI motherboard interfaces, a mouse in a BIOS?

I am currently studying maths and physics for interest.

I regularly introduce maths as a basis of song arrangements in my band.

I am a member of the national trust.

I am a book obsessive.

I cannot let a problem go until I have solved it and I have a job surrounded by problems.

Erm ... I could go on but I think people get the idea

Ok, I don't own anything truly geeky except for my Star Wars (Eps. 4,5,6) DVDs and the Collector's Edition of Blade Runner.

1- But I get all gooey inside whenever I see River kick some serious butt in Serenity (somehow I got the notion that she was special when I watched the series when it first aired). I pretty much go gaga whenever I see a cool looking woman kicking butt - I especially drooled when I saw Watchmen (Malin Ackerman as Silk Spectre, Oh my!)

2- I was a Big Commander Cody fan (sort of like the Rocketeer), speaking of the Rocketeer - I'm still waiting for the follow-up sequel.

3- I'll watch just about any sci-fi film, even the bad ones (Ultraviolet, Aeon Flux).

Now, is that a geek or what?

Tawabawho?
