...28/50, 56% Nerdiness for Gin's Friend!

I personally felt like only answering the questions where unexpected* answers are possible, but that felt a little pedantic and/or mean... :unsure:

And also, I'm not sure how accurate my assessment would be if I did it seriously; you've only tested for a subset of geekiness, after all, possibly because they're the ones you score highly in? Though, it's probably not possible to add questions for ones you wouldn't, so I'd have that concern for such a test if it was written by most people...

But in any case, that's why I've not really felt like doing it. ^^;

@bara:

I tried my best to spread out the quiz on all forms of geekiness, though I know that I didn't cover a lot of topics...

I covered:

Cult films (but only a few)
TTTBS (you need to be a geek to understand that anyways, and it only covers one game)
Cult Sci-fi (a few only)
Computer basics
Certain games
Net-speak
Certain, cult or famous anime
One question on guns (big hint!)

I know I need to cover:
Dungeons and Dragons
More Anime
More cult games
More cult books and films

I'm pretty geeky, but if you feel like adding some topics, I would love to hear it, and I would add it on...

Well, by working alone it'd be pretty hard to cover much. There are a lot of areas one can be considered geeky in, after all.

Shouldn't you be asking advanced stuff, considering this is labelled as a geek test? =P
And I personally think you could do with some unix/linux based questions.

Eh, D&D is pretty popular. I'd personally ask more obscure questons, such as what game you'd think someone with a bag full of d10s plays. =P

Name the source: "2+2 is... 10. In base 4, I'm fine!"

Let's say you're a certain dude with a Ph.D in theoretical physics. What tool would you use on a rogue headcrab?

...And such?

I'd suggest memes, since high internet familiarity is potentially something you want to test for.

Also, it'd be nice to specify how many answers you're after. I mean, there are questions to which (as far as I can tell) there's not one right answer to, and I'm not sure if that's intentional or if they need fixing...

Anyway, I decided to do this, though I warn you in advance that a lot of them triggered pedantic responses:

Unless there are cunning word tricks involved, any of them, though the last one only works in base 13. Also, potentially none of the above if you're referencing the DA story.

I dunno what link you're getting at here. IRC's the only communications protocol, though, and I'm guessing you're after it because the rest make even less sense here.

You probably want 'a' here, on the basis that it's not an OS. Technically I think you'd need "Mac OS" for c, though, since "Mac" on its own isn't one either?

I'd guess a, though I could easily have looked it up if I cared. =P

I don't really like this one. "Voodoo", to me suggests the old brand of graphics cards, not "VoodooPC, who make computers" - so though I think you wanted d for not making computers (specifically laptops, if Asus doesn't do more than I think), I could argue b for them not being active any more, or not being a maker of final appliances, or something.

C lacks roman numerals. You were probably after it for being an FPS, though? =3

I think b.

I'll only acknowledge b or (less preferably) a as an answer here; though some people probably use c or d I would require proof of it being widespread before believing it's not just a small group like "the fellow players of the person who made it up".

You probably want c, but they're not exact opposites, so I dislike this one.

You probably want a, but I kinda dislike how this one's phrased for some reason. Maybe because one could argue "b's the only one that's not a HP spell, so it's more opposite"...

No idea, and I don't feel like looking up Warhammer stuff to find out. =P

I'd probably have known this if you didn't put the version number in. As things were, though, I didn't recognise the non-man-portable one for what it was until I was checking the question, so can't answer fairly.

You want b, but nobody would actually make you listen to the １８歳以上. =P
I guess it can still be b because I think it's not fully translated yet, though.

Interesting fact about unix-based systems: apparently any of those could be executable, due to how it doesn't really care about file extensions.

On windows, though, only a and d. command.com is still around on XP, actually. ^^

Any of those could be, potentially. I mean, the definition of a N00b is heavily dependent on context, and people do stuff like speak like a in irony and such.

I'm guessing you're after a, though.

All of the above! Or probably actually d.

n, in theory. In practice it'd depend on what the implementing hardware could do and network conditions.

I guessed c. Google suggests that "And" shouldn't be there, though?

None of the above, and you cannot claim otherwise because I have all of them on this computer. =P
I'd guess you wanted a, because it's the traditional floppy disk drive, but... no, people even still include in some new computers, because they are useful for BIOS flashing, disk controller drivers, and the like.

"items" suggests b. a also works, though, because it includes, for at least some time, India.

Not going to answer, because I saw this when checking whether there was an EA Warhammer game. =P

Also, I like this question. See, I'm not entirely negative. =P

Probably that Douglas Adams story I didn't like much. I never found his "42" joke funny...

One of the Matrix films.

HP.

US military hardware?

300, probably the film.

Not answering because google told me earlier. =P

Not answering because wikipedia told me earlier. =P

PKMN

You're after "otaku", but as a translator I feel a little odd about that. ja.wikpedia.org says there are different cultural connotations, for example, at the article for ギーク...

I don't like this one much either. Firstly because there's no way to tell which'd be the official list if there was significant branching, and secondly because the answer I'd guess it is (43 on the list I picked out of the top google results) is not very memorable, and would thus potentially bias the test towards people who looked it up rather than having known it in advance.

Something-something no uchite (the Wikipedia entry has the full name, I think). "Shana" was just what that guy calls her, if I remember right...

I guess you want Tokyo?

This strikes me as highly culture-dependent. I guess the statue of liberty, though?

I have no idea what you're getting at with this question. If by Toad you mean the Mario character, then I know all three of those, but it still seems to have no apparent logic there. O_o

Over 9000Probably some multiple of 7, depending on classification.

eheheheh...It looks like the geek quiy that works so well on mortals fails when facing the wisdom of bara-bara.

To face the truth, my computer skill sdon't involve anything other than basics...although this is enough to scare most people and make them call me a geek.

I don't play D&D (yet), so I'd need help here.

Question 1 is an very obvious (to those who read it) reference, all other answers are not applicable, even if they may seem right.

q3 requires changing, but not until I mark maronkins (which will take a while since I need to get hold on the answer document on some piece of storage device I threw somewhere)

If I put "OS" on Q4, it would be a bit too obvious tho...

Changes about to be made on q 9, 11,15...

For q16, all of them are spells from the ****** universe, including b. ¨

29, 27, 25, 21 wording needs changing.

44, 48 are references to the Laws of Anime...I think I should give the website, but IIRC, most sites with the laws of Anime on it have in the approximate same order for at least the first 47.

49 is a movie(s) reference climate change makes it obvious because of the famous ads. Since most geeks posting in English watch holywood, I'd say it's a fair q.

If you have any questions you could think of, post it here or pm me and I'll change the original post.
