Any video game character you can create, I always create mine with red hair and purple eyes. I even modded my Sims game so I could get purple eyes. I am a little embarrased to say I haven't finished the Beka Cooper series. The last two books came out when I was in college and I was reading a lot less. Lately I've been catching up on some of the new releases of my younger years favorite series so those are definitely on the list. Next though I'm going to read the new Garth Nix books in his Old Kingdom (?) series. Sabriel was another favorite of mine. The Abhorsen series is my second favorite. I devoured them when I discovered them in college I forgot about Garth Nix! Such good books. I feel like I'm about to reread a lot of books after I get done with the current series I'm reading.

Has anyone here seen Westworld???? ETA because if not.... sci-fi/western y'all. Lol I'm currently rewatching it. It's on HBO and it is awesome. #highlyrecommend We don't have HBO but it seems like Amazon Prime gets most of the HBO shows eventually so I'm hoping it will end up there. It looks great and I've heard nothing but good things!

So happy that there is a place to geek out! Like so many others I love Harry Potter (I always get sorted into Gryffindor, although I usually identify with Ravenclaw).Also, A Song of Ice and Fire aka Game of Thrones. Other authors I like are Pat Rothfuss, Brent Weeks, and Brandon Sanderson. I like playing RPGs on the computer...Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls are some of my favorites. I used to play WoW, but I made myself quit... I can't play games like that or "just another quest" turns into all day. Board games, although I don't get to play them nearly as much as I'd like to. I didn't realize Disney was geeky until I started reading this thread, but I'll just add that to my list. I'm also a band geek. I'm a flute player and I love broadway musicals.

auri Another Brent Weeks fan!!!!! Hello! I feel like I'm always recommending him but nobody else knows who he is so it's great to find another fan! If we decide to have a third baby I told my husband it is going to be our Brent Weeks baby because the names we have picked out are Gavin or Alivianna.

loves2read, Those are some great names, although I didn't really care for Liv in the story. Me neither. It actually came up while we were reading the first book and I didn't mind her then. But I love Olivia and my husband doesn't like it so we compromised (for our fictitious third child obviously).

I haven't, I guess I didn't really consider it since, like you, my kid is who he is haha, is the sims 4 better? I loooove building houses and decorating them, it used to take me a week to build a house! Didn't think to make characters though, that sounds fun! It's better in some ways, worse in others. The (physical) customization is the shit because you can pull the body shape however you want it to be. But then, it doesn't have as many default options with clothes and you are limited in color choices. This is why I've downloaded a billion mods. Lol. My LEAST favorite part of it though is that you can only choose 3 personality traits as opposed to the 5 you used to be able to do with Sims3. Totally not fair lol. Another thing it is that the world is kind of sectioned into parts. So you can't really explore as much as before. I used to be such a hater but I have come to like it a lot now. Also it doesn't take a million hours to load it so that's a plus lol. I used to have to wait for fucking ever to load sims3. I haven't tried Sims 4 yet. I really want to. I did used to love making my sim jog all over the damn place though with Sims 3 (because I run soooo much in real life /s), so it would be a bit disappointing if I couldn't do that, but not a deal breaker. I just don't have as much time to play games on desktop anymore which gives me the sads. I had to cancel my WoW subscription for now because I couldn't play. When she gets older, though, game on!

Just saw this board and got super excited. My things are: 1) Harry Potter (Ravenclaw) 2) Whedonverse-Buffy, Angel and FIrefly mostly 3) Supernatural (but really, I watch so many different things, it's hard to pick one). 4) Comic books, not superhero ones, but ones like Saga, Paper Girls, American Vampire etc. 5) All Marvel movies, I'm really excited for the new Thor movie.

Oh hi!
My geeking started in middle school with the LoTR books. Actually earlier with Mario and Zelda on our old school brick sized gameboy.
I also love Star Wars (not the three terrible ones, just the original three and I'm liking the new ones), Harry Potter, Star Trek (Next Generation is my favorite), Firefly.
I used to read a lot of fantasy but haven't read anything recently. I liked anything by Terry Brooks and I loved Robert Jordan's Eye of the World books.
I also used to play video games more but not really since having kids. The last one I played was Oblivion, the Elder Scrolls.
Did anyone read Stephen King's Dark Tower series? I read the first couple and now I hear there's a movie (or a show?) coming out. I'm excited.

honeylemon It's a movie. Comes out in July and stars Idris Elba. chad we haven't watched Riverdale but when it went on Netflix I added it to our list. I've been really enjoying The CW's programming lately. I like that they have less obsession over ratings and more concentrate on building a solid fan base and telling them a complete story.

Well hello! My biggest thing is, well, video games. I grew up playing on my brother's NES. When I finally got a PlayStation in Jr. High, I was all about the Final Fantasy series (VIII is my favorite). I also love Portal (duh), Skyrim, and occasionally COD. That's the short version, but I could go on. I also love Star wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Stargate. Basically, I have a thing for sci-fi shows. Mystery Science Theater 3000 is also on the list, and I have to say, I'm loving the reboot as well.

Nerdlist: -Harry Potter - I've been sorted into Slytherin but when Pottermore changed things up, it resorted me into Ravenclaw. I accept that. -GoT -The Sims (if I had the time, I could lose days to that freaking game...) -Disney. Yes, whatever, but I just can't resist the charm of Disney.

Just going to bust in here guns blazing since this seems to be a good board for me. I still need to update my avatar once I can get to our desktop.
I'm a ginormous HP nerd, complete with tattoo for dedication. I'm a Hufflepuff according to every quiz ever. I'm also into LOTR, Sherlock, The Hunger Games, and I can really geek out over Pirates of the Caribbean too.
So, hi! *waves*

auri, have you been following the Kingkiller Chronicle development? Sooo stoked about a TV series! A little. The last I heard was the announcement that Lin Manual Miranda was doing the music. I really hope it's similar to A Game of Thrones... they are doing a good job with it.
