Newbie?
Not to computers.

I only have the practical, useable aspects of the nerd-spectrum. :-D

And I think that 'l337 h4x0r' speak rather unreadable, and for that, It does not seem to me to be logical to use it, since we already got a better readable speak.

Most questions seemed nonsense (on purpose) to me......

40-49%:  What's this, a well balanced nerd? Impressive.  

If they had asked more technical questions, I would have done better.
Yup, me too.

I've abandoned that fantasy stuff some 7 years ago now I think

Close :-)

but tis also about that ppl know about all games from all times.

like the rather unknown game 'Fade to Black'

and a question about it like: what is the graphic techniques used in this game?

(answer: the environment is made up of textured polygons, the character and the foes are made of gauraud shaded non-textured polygons, and some objects, are bitmaps)

now, is THAT nerdy enough?

First there was Another World (also know as Out of this World) Then there was Flashback and then there was Fade to Black. All used the smooth animation technique alike the one used in Prince of Persia.

And FtB ran quite smooth on a low end system back then.

Now another question: what was the other name of the game Blackhawk (made by Blizzard)?

And there's another question: did this game came out on the Amiga?
And did the following games came out on the Amiga?:
Prince of Persia 2
Test Drive 3
Green Beret/Rush 'n Attack

hmmmm, I wish, I wish I had drank less beer? Nononono, memorable were those times in the 'Biergarten', I wish I smoked less weed? No, or, yes, or, maybe, but I never smoked really much weed, or yet I did, but I dunno, I dunno anymore, was fifteen or so, had a bad period, so I think that smoking weed was inevitable.
Read less? NO! I wish I had some more rest, some more ease and patience to pick up some more books, I still have a bookshelf to read. :lol: play more games that'd be my death, I think. Watched more dodgy sci-fi? Well, yes, maybe, but at home, I didn't have cable telly, still Star Trek was on it every week :-)
Did more Role Playing games? Hm, yes I'd like to play that a bit more I think, I actually never played it.

In truth though, I wish I *had* smoked less weed - then I would have done better at university,

yes, I wish I had smoked less weed high(:lol:)school, but sometimes I wonder if it would have made any difference..... :-(

 I wish I *had* drunk less beer - then I wouldn't have got into so much debt at university.
ehm, okay, but... I can't forget many a time like that *sigh*

Other than that - MORE sex and MORE books! :lol: But hey, I'm only 25....!
Well, about that first thing, I dunno, probably, but I am not really suitable for that I think. About that second part, couldn't agree more,  Btw, Cyberus, WHAT kind of books? :-) (I can reccomend Gormenghast, actually)

But just an easy drink, not on purpose binge drinking or so.

Well, first thing to say, I'm impressed! I still have to read all these books..
I just read history and fiction, not yet books with ideas alike these.

Gormenghast trilogy is something I've been meaning to read - I've heard good things about it. I haven't ever been too keen on fantasy, despite the best efforts of some of my friends. I even have a signed copy of David Gemmel's first book.
David Gemmel? Gormenghast is written by Mervyn Peake I thought. Gormenghast isn't really fantasy, rather surrealism, everything is physically possible, no monsters, no magic. To me, the books are unlike anything I've ever read. The style of writing is sometimes chaotic and fast (in terms of happenings), then it is slowly describing every detail of the weird environment, it describes with many details the weird (yet recognisable :-)) characters.

and btw, I'll keep this one in mind:

By the way, EVERYONE should read Dostoevsky's 'Notes From the Underground'

I dunno how old I was when I read Gormenghast (20 or so, probably)... But sure I remember it was kinda hard to read. The last book of the trilogy I never completed reading it. It wasn't translated in Dutch yet and the style of writing in English was really uncommon and hard to read, according to me.
I continuously re-read parts that I thought I understand but later in the book appeared to be different.

though, heavy stuff for a 16 year old...
