when you bought a 700 dollar laptop just to play games.

When you buy every mouse (sorry I aint for sale), keyboard, monitor, and addon for a game

...you are capable of making an obscure reference to some part of pop culture at any time.

... you see a midget and call him a gnome, you park your car and wait for it to disappear, you don't like the selection at the vending machine and look for a reset button, and you think Obama should convert our currency into Platinum...

...you know to answer "Your overconfidence is your weakness." with "Your faith in your friends is your own."

Actually it's "yours," not "your own." Hmm, case in point. You know you're a geek when, you correct quotes without having to look them up. :p

...you rewatch a trilogy of movies to redeem yourself for misquoting.

... you and your friends get together and perfectly quote the whole trilogy of movies, reenacting the scenes as best three fat guys can in their mom's basement.

you press your Jedi robbes for trick or treating during halloween...

...you know more about the history of a fictional universe than the real one.

People come to you for computer help -- and you give it for free.
"You didn't have the right drivers",
or "dump your preferences folder",
or "dad, your finger is on the camera in FaceTime"

...you go to a fantasy/sci-fi convention and realize you put more time into your costume than anyone else.

...you go to a fantasy/sci-fi convention and you are wearing a costume.

...you react with pride rather than shame or indifference if you are called a geek.

...you obsessively check RPoL for updates.

...you have been known to eat light bulbs and cockroaches at a circus sideshow for fun and profit.

...you can recount every Legend of Zelda title from memory... including the CDi games!

...getting a third tattoo on your face and another dozen studs in your head seems like a good idea.

you have given up all claims of coolness, except for having cool new gadgets.

...a tabletop roleplaying game is the highlight of your week.

...you regularly bite the heads off live poultry for money and your name isn't Ozzy Osbourne.

...you think there a difference between geeks and nerds.

it's hard to answer a question without getting confused yourself ... and then, um, not knowing where to go with it ... you know what I mean?

...you keep hammering nails up your nose even though the thread isn't about geeks any more.

...you mix up dreams with reality and arn't sure what defines your assistance.
