Oh yeah, just to show some of my geekiness, I've pointed out some high factors:

J.P. Morgan · 02-07-2002, 11:02 PM

That is some good shit maynard!!

I still say that remotes are a subspecies of tribbles, born pregnant

George McFly · 02-07-2002, 11:11 PM

at least we know 1138 isn't a "Neat Freak"

how do you keep track of all the remotes? i counted 12. I have 5 and I thought I have a lot!!!

***1138*** · 02-07-2002, 11:15 PM

Oh yeah, I should mention that this is also just my room in my parents house. Soon as I get a job, I move out.

As for the remotes, that big silver one on the bed in the last picture is what I use for just about everything. A couple of the remotes are also rarely used (one is for my Creative Labs sound card/break out box, seen in the front of my computer).

Heck no. Far from it. Though part of the problem these days is that I just got too much stuff for my little room. Must... get... job...

I think it has now been officially proven that 1138 is a geek.

way to go man.

You'd certainly know a geek if you saw one.

BobaFett · 02-08-2002, 01:59 AM

How old are you?

Proud to be geek!

So who here thought 1138 was much older? I figured him to be in his 30s. wow.

BeanBandit · 02-08-2002, 08:58 AM

Comic books? Star Wars and Trek novels?? Magic Cards???

...I've got the same thing.

No way you're 23. All this time I thought you were one'a them geezers.

BobaFett · 02-08-2002, 11:39 AM

yes i was thinking he was much older also, nice setup man

Marty McFly · 02-08-2002, 07:37 PM

Very cool, 1138.

It's pretty pathetic that most of us thought of you as an old fart, though.

Underpants · 02-08-2002, 07:50 PM

Damn. Why get a job when you're doing that good (equipment-wise) without one? Rich parents?

And I thought my room was cramped. It's kinda funny, I have a whole house to myself but I've chosen to move everything cool into my bedroom. I got my recliner in here right next to the bed

And I must agree on the age thing. I thought you were much older too.

***1138*** · 02-08-2002, 10:56 PM

"Damn. Why get a job when you're doing that good (equipment-wise) without one? Rich parents?"

Well, I've had some fairly well paying jobs between years in college (being an EE major helps with pay even before you graduate) plus I've lived at home the last three years (both to save money and because my parents are cool enough that it's enjoyable). So free room and board plus some good internships means I have more money to spend on extraneous things. Also, I've always been rather frugal with my money and so I allow myself to splurge on HT.

But then, I have squat for wardrobe (the only good clothes I have are for work and I'm a T-shit and jeans guy) and I don't spend much on other typcial things. No drinking, no smoking, no partying, etc. Just gEEk.

Oh yeah, no woman either.

As for the age thing:

. I find it kind of funny that I aparrently come off older than I am, especially because I'm such a kid at heart (I still watch cartoons and play video/computer games, etc.).

I guess it's easier to pull off with all of these damn Canadian teenagers running around these parts.

BobaFett · 02-09-2002, 01:03 AM

1138 you have all four x-boxes controls? You ever have to use them all?

***1138*** · 02-09-2002, 01:46 AM

Oh yeah. Me, my brother, and ours friends when they come over. And my sister somtimes plays with my brother and me so we need three for that.

BobaFett · 02-09-2002, 01:55 AM

ok i was just wondering

No, he Photoshopped them into the picture to make us think that he has at least 3 friends.

BobaFett · 02-09-2002, 12:16 PM

LOL

Wow, nice equipment! Being a CSE major I get to look forward to my first co-op next spring. Hopefully making enough money to start a good "base" HT.
