final fantasy tactics WOOT (ps1) that game is the only game where i was actually hooked on the storyline and had a great battle system which i had not seen in a game before and could not stop talking to my mates about my super special awesome team that i had created

that game in my oppinion is the greatest tactical game of all time

After beating Oblivion, Shivering Isles, and Knight of the Nine with my one level 30-something character in Oblivion, I noticed I was missing one achievement that I needed another character to complete. So I created another character, leveled him up to 25, and got it.

And I was so excited when the DLC came out, I even bought the horse armor and thought it was the coolest thing ever. D'oh!

metroid i look it up on wikipedia. i own almost every game

I transformed into a magical super-geek with Star Wars: KOTOR on PC. I played through it about 8 or 9 times, each time learning the best possible equipment and stats upgrades.

Now, under D&D3 rules, changes to character stats only count on even numbers. So, on my final playthrough, having memorized everything I needed, I was able set my starting stats - right at the beginning of the game - such that, with all the upgrades from equipment, leveling-up and Force alignment bonuses, with all the many combinations of even and odd numbers, all my stats ended up on even numbers by the end of the game! It was a feat of statistical perfection!

Sadly, the Statistical Perfection feat was not one of the available options upon levelling-up in the game.

Once, I geeked out for a game so badly, that I went and made an account at Gamesradar's website.

@CAPST3R: It's actually because it was my first game, ever, and for some reason it's still amazingly magical. In retrospect it's pretty poorly done, but the soundtrack and art direction are great, and it holds a little place in my heart.

Im a complete nerd when it comes to the halo series. I practically jizzed when halo 3 came out. Ill prolly do it again when ODST comes.

Sadly, i geeked out over "Just Cause". It looked SOOO good, the huge open world, the incredible stunts,and the cool Che Guevara-ish cover. Its too bad it turned out to be a clunky, glitch-ridden game, and its story had no real depth. Hopefully Just Cause 2 will fix these problems.

if you hadnt noticed already i geek out over the zelda games

and omg zaphers i feel for you, i hated that race mission on vice city, i remember resorting to waiting by the malibu club with a rocket launcher until he went round the whole island so i could shoot him in the face... then it appeared he was invincible so i gave up :( bad times

I can't lie that for me it has to be gundam. I have gotten both the 360 games, watched several of the newer series and have just "a few" action figures.I always get so overjoyed when I see a robot from Japan or something and think I wanna make Deathscythe(Big fighting robot with scythe)! I guess thats why i'm getting into robotics lol. Just give it a few years and there will be flying death mechs everywhere.

Super Smash Bros Brawl.

I stayed up until midnight every night to check out its websites updates, I pre-ordered it(only time I've ever done that), camped in front of my local GameCrazy the day of its release, and won the SSBM tournmaent they had so I'd be the first in my town to get the damn game.

You know what happened next? I came home to find that my Wii wont read the damn disk, thus forcing me to send my Wii to Nintendo to repair the damn lens. And that happened twice.

To say the least, the game wasn't worth it and I actually sold my Wii a few weeks ago...

definately GTA:Chnatown wars. This one was also symblic for me as it was my first purchase witha debit card. I was so exictied, one the day it was released, i sat in all my classes just staring at the clocks willing them to go faster so oi could get the game. when school was out ,i rushed out down to road and shakily got the game. I was clutching it all the way home on the bus and spent the rest of that night in a dark room, playing it.

The game that makes my nerdyness show the most is the Ps2 Ratchet an clanks. Or Jak and Daxters. Those were really fun at the time and i had no other games cuz i was cheap as a poor person.

Well, this is pretty weird but...I was in love with Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater in middle school and every time the game got rescheduled and pushed back i'd take it way too hard. As a big MGS fan i just wanted to play it now, and getting my hands on the demo drove me even more crazy over the game. Sadly enough, one night i had a twisted nightmare about getting it. I dreamed i was running to walmart to get the game. I could see it through the case and everything then Freddy Krueger(yes, the Nightmare on Elm Street guy) threw me out of the was and broke the key off in the key slot, making it locked forever...I told my friends about it, they all thought it was pretty sad that i'd have nightmares about not being able to play a "lame" videogame. But several months later i finally got it and the pain of waiting was totally worth it. ^_^

My best nerd moment happened while I was at work, which at the time was Z Gallerie, and I was the person in charge of the art portion of the store. One evening in January of 06' I'm cleaning up the gallery, when a customer asks if we have a certain print in stock. I tell him that we don't have it but I bring out the ordering book for him to take a look at for the print he's interested in. As I'm taking the book out I notice that his jacket have Valve embroidered on it in the specific font that Valve uses for it's company logo. At that moment I'm trying to figure out in a fit of excitement if he just bought the jacket or if he actually works at Valve. I'm a little timid to ask him outright as I don't want my manager, who I had a crush on, hear me nerd out in front of a customer. I ask him if the jacket is for Valve and he replies yes, then I ask is he works for Valve.

As soon as he says yes I descend into nerd town and it now goes from me helping a customer, into a Valve admiration summit. I completely disregard any other customer in the gallery and just talk about Half Life 2, which I finally got to play when the original Xbox port came out in fall of 05', and just gush like a schoolgirl meeting Zach Ephron for 10 minutes about how great the game is, and then for another 10 minutes I go on about the glitch the game had when you played it on the Xbox 360, and then he explains in great detail that the game wasn't ported with the intent to be played on the 360. I want to sit and talk more with him about awesome the game is, but his wife finishes up at the register and is now ready to leave the store. I am such a Valve fanboy, and to be able to talk at some length with a Valve employee who involved with probably my favorite game of all time was unreal.
As soon as he leaves, I stand and stare into space for a few minutes in a euphoric haze. I put away the art book, and go back to cleaning. Just as I turn away from where I was standing my manager is standing right in front of me and just looks at me like I'm the biggest nerd she has ever met. Didn't talk to her for the rest of evening.

I have a Literature subject in college, and our professor ask us to discuss something about a really good movie or book or anything that we saw and has something to do with literature. I was called, then I said do you know Hideo Kojima. He wrote Snake Eater. And no one in the class can relate to me.

I told them its a story about a soldier that was betrayed by his mentor, but turns out his mentor was really helping their country blah blah blah. I told the whole story, and everyone was looking at me like "what is this guy saying".

My professor said, "I've never heard of such book or writer".

I said "oh! its not a book, have you not played Metal Gear Solid".

He then immediately responded "Ok! that's enough, sit down!, anyone else".

My classmates where now looking at me like "what a nerd". And I realized, "I just Geeked-Out in front of my classmates". I was so embarrassed that day, that I really really want to go home.

Mine would have to be the first day i had Canis Canem Edit (Bully) I just fell in love over it stayed up way too late playing it
Or Gta Vice City

@Shadsy:
well, can't blame you if it was your 1st game, I geeked out on my 1st 2 games. enter the matrix and the 1st R&C. completed every R&C apart from quest for booty to 100% and I'd already geeked out on the matrix, they're my favourite films.

I tottally geeked out for Prince of Persia but tottally got pissed at the second for beeing to dang hard.... Geeked out for PoP 4 but it was'nt all I expected...

This isn't really an excited sort of geek moment, but I had anticipated Halo 3 and all of the trilogy ending, life consuming goodness that was sure to come with it since that goddam Halo 2 "finishing this fight" BS. The release day finally came and guess what...I DIDNT HAVE A F****NG XBOX 360!!! All i could do was read about it on gamesradar and think about how awesome it would be if I could actually play it. I mean eventually I bought a 360, but you wouldnt believe the desperate amount of remorse I had at not being able to finish the fight myself.
