Two big announcements to make today. First of all, happy Pi Day to everyone. Please celebrate accordingly by stuffing your face with pies in multiples of 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288.

Secondly, I'd like to extend a warm birthday wish to our own SG. Happy 50th SG, tell the wife and kids I said hi!

Hopefully it's not like Eric Massa's 50th birthday (“...tickled a guy till he couldn’t breathe and then they all jumped on me. It was my 50th birthday. It was ‘kill the old guy.").
Bobdole just likes to hear bobdole talk about bobdole.

How could you not be man enough to use the Pokewalker? Just put it in your pocket! No one has to see it!

EDIT: Plus, man, I just caught me a Wobbuffet this early in the game! I can use this!

Y'know, it hasn't been mentioned enough, but I don't think enough has been said about how much I love the fact that everything is controlled via touch screen. About time, considering how lame touch screen features were in DPPt.

What do you mean by "already"? You've been there seven months and I'd bet your pituitary gland secretes frivolity. Perhaps Stonybrookers are even less observant than we?

Somewhat back on topic, this is somewhat late, but The Geek Test has released version 3.14 in honor of Pi Day. Huzzah!

Gotta do that again!

EDIT: 37.08487%, which I think is higher than before. I can't check back on Facebook, though, because I have to update my webcomic.

You can see why I scored highly.

34.50185% over here. I'm pretty sure both of ours went up, Evan.

Also, Leone, that's a rather intimidating score you have there.

Yeah, see that's my problem with the test. No offense, Stranny, but I know every Pokemon, most of their movepools, evolution levels, locations in every game (as can others of you, I'm sure), etc, plus can name every Muppet (and who puppeteered him or her) from The Muppet Show, Muppets Tonight, Fraggle Rock, vintage Sesame Street, and most side productions, have 50 or so posters in my dorm, play Sporcle daily, spend my Fridays and Saturdays checking people's grammar for the Press without even being an editor, draw World of Goo fanart, quote Monkey Island, have read the complete archives of at least four webcomics twice, etc.

But I never saw much Star Trek and I suck at computers, so I am less of a nerd.

Man oh man, being hopelessly geeky isn't so easy these days.

My biggest problem with it is that real nerds should start finding technical errors that would actually lower their score. Nerds are generally known for over-analyzing things, at least in my experience. For example, I own what most people would call a ton of gaming books, but I didn't check the box because I doubt that my collection weighs anywhere near two thousand pounds.

I wonder if it's possible to create a more accurate version of this thing. Take heart, though, brethren; we're bigger nerds than geeks anyway!

Of course. And I still can take comfort in the fact that Stranny's the only one beating me right now.


EDIT: I'm fairly certain my gaming books don't exceed 2000 lbs in weight, but I'm wondering if my full collection of novels, nonfiction, textbooks, old notebooks, sketchbooks, gaming books, and comic books exceed that weight...it's worth pondering indeed.

Well, Google tells me that a sheet of paper is about 1/100th of a pound, but that accounts for neither the smaller than 8 1/2'' x 11'' size of book paper nor the extra weight of the dust jacket. However, it should give you a general ballpark if you happen to know how many pages of media are in said collection.

All right, go ahead and weigh them all only to find you were an easily predictable amount short.

No, my guess is I am short. It's just an interesting question--how much does my book collection weigh?

I'm good for about half of that. I play bejeweled, though. I can also find where you are in RBY just from the music.

I also assume those 50 or so posters came with game/comic books or their special edition counterparts, so bonus points to The King (aw sheet, I gone done made a NASCAR reference!).

I think putting in the effort to make an exam would definitely give automatic bonus points.

Youtube works on Linux, though it's not as easy as click, download, and run. And for Steam and games, generally you'd use a Windows emulator like WINE anyway...
