"Blessed are the Geeks, for they shall inherit the Earth…" A thread for discussing all things geek.

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

Well so much for telling us we're childish. All this thread did was bring us out of the woodwork and unite us. And we are a diverse, clever, witty bunch who have varied interests.

Whatever you're into, talk about it here. (Non passive aggressive )

I couldn't get ex-P on board with any themed names for my son. He did ask to call him Jon Snow as he's a "bastard from the north" according to his London centric geography...

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

tali that made me lol. What does he consider the North? Anything past Chingford?

Possibly a bit controversial but does anyone do colouring in? After the fact it was used as an "acceptable" adult hobby on that thread I'm a bit embarrassed to say I do. www.amazon.co.uk/Sherlock-Mind-Palace-Official-Colouring/dp/1785940430?tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21 I really want this and the Dr Who colouring in book.

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

I do occasionally steal my DD's colouring books. Just for fun.

[TaliZorah]

Jacob anything past Watford apparently...

I have a colouring book full of cats, I got into it when I was in hospital before I had DS

[Kacie123]

I do colouring in am in the middle of this one at the mo! (Secret Garden)

[Kacie123]

I miss Zelda and my Nintendo 64. Been thinking about buying an old one off eBay but wondering if it's just nostalgia....

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

I want to get a Megadrive. I have found memories of playing ToeJam and Earl and Cool Spot.

[MustBeLoopy390]

Checking in our copy of the Nathan Drake Collection came yesterday while we were out so we've been playing that last night and this evening, forgot how beautiful these games were we tried to get the Pipboy edition of Fallout 4 but after our local Game having 3 bloody allocations and going down after every one we've missed out and I refuse to pay £200+ on eBay as much as we want it. Fond memories of Nintendo 64 Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooee and Mario 64. Megadrive has to be Alex Kidd (enchanted castle?) James Pond Robofish and Altered Beast I kicked ass in those games!

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

Oh man I remember James Pond. I had Echo the dolphin too.

[MustBeLoopy390]

'Twas a good game. I got really frustrated at Echo the Dolphin, but did love Comix Zone if anyone remembers that one?

[MustBeLoopy390]

DH corrected me, it's Robocod not Robofish... Memory is going down the drain lol

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

Kacie That's lovely. I have millie marottas animal kingdom.

I thought about buying a sega game gear as I loved playing sonic on my brothers old one. I still play hogs of war and crash bandicoot on our PS1 and tekken tag on PS2. I hope Mortal Kombat X will have the magic that tekken had for me but i flinch a little at those OTT x ray bits.

My Nathan Drake collection for PS4 should arrive tomorrow or the day after. I had been playing the last of us tonight. I miss Ellie, I'm stuck with bloody Henry who's pretty useless.

[PreciousxBane]

I was temoted to get a PS4 just to play The Last of Us but too indulgent due to teo xboxes. I Was chatting to someone today who still has a commodore 64, felt very misty eyed about that.

[Tokelau]

I used to have a Commodore 64 and still have my ZX81.

It was a long time ago, but does anyone remember playing Rainbow Islands on the Amiga? I loved that game.

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

Morning geeks

Did someone recommend until dawn on the other thread? I've had a look on amazon and its looks pretty good.

[GeekLove]

I wonder if my old SNES is in the attic at my mums. The boys are old enough for Super Mario World. My brother and I spent many a fun our on the original Super Mario Kart in the past.

[Stormtreader]

Morning all! I was getting Dragon Age romance flashbacks from the other thread, I spent hours on that game listening to Alastair whinge on about his hard life, and then when he became king he dumped me because I was elven! I still remember the rage, I should have fed him to the dragon!

[CoteDAzur]

I missed the last thread but happy to have found this one

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

I had Alistair leave me for saving Loghain. Obviously loved Cousland that much then. Would rather have had his brother or failing that, his dad.

[TaliZorah]

Morning! My Xbox appears to have stopped working today... Right in the middle of playing

[TaliZorahVasNormandy]

Oh noooo!!! Maybe its a sign Tali to get that PS4.

[CoteDAzur]

Trills - I haven't seen The Martian (the film) yet, but the book is a very satisfying, fantastic geek fest. Whether or not you watch the film first, I really think you should read the book. There is no way all those calculations would all be laid out in a blockbuster film as they are in the book.

[TaliZorah]

That's what I was thinking Tali! I now have the perfect excuse. Although I was hoping to have both as my old 360 games are nostalgic discs of utter joy

[MakStout]

I have found my people! I'm not a gamer. I'm a comic book reader. Also Firefly / Serenity, MCU fan.
I am considering an xbox 360 at Christmas though.

[TaliZorah]

Make you won't regret it! I've had mine four years and I love it. Or did until earlier today!

What comics do you like? :)
