Counter strike.. there's a game I haven't played in years. How nerdy was I in CS? I went by the tag [AC] Psyduck. HAHAHA!

My telescope is in VA, with my model rockets, Legos, G.I. Joes, Transformers, Star Wars.. ACTION FIGURES! THEY'RE NOT DOLLS! THEY'RE ACTION FIGURES!

Did you ever play on the Llamas On Fire server? I seem to remember that name. If you did, I was -{LOF}-Huk. Somehow my gaming just completely dried up when I hit 40. At that point, paintball took over.

As far as geeky, I was a 240 pound power lifting orange belt (almost had my purple) in American Kenpo who worked out 5 days a week and surfed and rode motorcycles (BMW for the most part). Marriage ruined me!

Is it nerdy to shoot prairie dogs from 400 yards? It may not be nerdy but it sure is fun......I also collect 1/43 scale Ferraris....that has to be nerdy.....yes?

I've done ground squirrels at 200-300 yards. We couldn't find any pigs that day.

I used to play CS. My SN on there was [Mr.]Preacher. I was on there most of the time with my buddy [Mr.]Agent. They've been trying to get me into WoW but they're wayyy ahead of me and I don't have the time to catch up.

Before the golden age of the internet and 9600baud was king... I played a BBS game called Barren Realms Elite. Did anyone play that? My empire on there was the Draconis Combine.

Wow, G.I. Joes, there's a blast from the past. I used to have more GI Joes and Star Wars toys and action figures than anyone else I knew. I was heartbroken when I moved a few years ago and found the box with my old action figures. The rubber bands that held the tops to the bottoms had all dry rotted. It's not a pretty site to see your favorite action figures all in halves.

I favored GI Joes because they were more articulate. I hated the fact that the Star Wars guys couldn't bend their elbows or knees. Plus, their Kung Fu grip was not as strong as the GI Joes... Well, except maybe Darth Vader.

Glad to see that 20Ducks from Z4um is still the same old weird 20Ducks...hasn't changed a thing.

I can't answer this question cause I wasn't a nerd until more recently...lol!!! I think 5 years of hard time at cisco did it to me.

Ahhh - a young convert to the ranks. I have been tweaking IOS configs as a part of my life for 22 years now.

ZEEFOUR · 05-23-2007, 01:27 PM

Driving the Z4?

Vroomer · 05-23-2007, 01:44 PM

what's the DOS command to flush your DNS settings? ipconfig -reset

is that it? I don't want to google this. I know I'm better than Google!!! :P HAHA

AlanL · 05-23-2007, 02:04 PM

If you are using DHCP ipconfig /reset

help ipconfig would have been faster than asking here

Vroomer · 05-23-2007, 02:43 PM

trying to be super nerdy....

ipconfig /flushdns works well

Whoa, whoa... you guys aren't nerds.

You're GEEKS!

AlanL · 05-23-2007, 08:24 PM

Better be careful or we will flog you with our pocket protectors.

ovrkll · 05-23-2007, 08:41 PM

Just as easy to do ipconfig /?

Vroomer · 05-23-2007, 09:12 PM

OK, but you must wait for the next melee, as your turn is up.

Yal · 05-23-2007, 10:55 PM

I used to come in on mondays and demonstrate the latest joint lock or submission hold and my co-workers would be discussing their raiding party and how intense the battle was.
