Being a geek is way more socially accepted now that it used to be just a few years ago. Unfortunately, there are still some people out there that have yet to embrace their inner geekyness and, instead, are stuck in endless denial. Well, to help these poor bastards come clean and release themselves to the shiny sea that is Geekdom, I have created a list of things that make you, without a Storm Shadow of a doubt (see what it did there?), a genuine grade A Geek. So, if you have done any of the following, relax, let go, and go watch a Joss Whedon show or something. And yes, I myself have done everything on this list at least once and am damn proud of it. So...
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A GEEK WHEN...
...you get pissed at "Hanging with Friends" for not recognizing "Jawas" as a noun.
...you answer "right after I get to a save point" whenever a friend calls you to hang out, but keep playing a little more anyway.
...you walk for longer in Skyrim than you have ever walked in real life.
...anytime "The Final Countdown" plays, you instantly have to stop whatever you're doing and either intensely sing along or start quoting Arrested Development for the song's entire duration.
...you hesitate spending over $15 on food, but you instantly drop $20 on a t-shirt with a hybrid Wu-tang/Batman symbol you saw online.
...you're mad about the ending to Mass Effect 3.
...you confide in other geeks about how much the ending to Mass Effect 3 sucked and bond over your mutual feelings.
...you actually know who would win in a fight between Superman and Batman.
...you have an hour long PS3 v. X360 debate on Facebook and actually bust out documented facts and charts to back it up.
...when someone asks you what you're doing tonight, you reply "the same thing we do every night", thinking you're clever.
...any girl that tells you she plays video games suddenly becomes 5x hotter. 10x if it's a shooter.
...you get ALL the jokes in Community.
...you go pay to see a movie you aren't too crazy about just to see the trailer for the movie you are excited for, even though it will be online eventually.
...you consciously boycott anything made by Joel Schumacher.
...you compile a list of things that make you a geek.
