Here’s a fun game I started last year just to amuse myself. I’d really like you to amuse yourself too. Wait. That came out wrong. Erg! Just play the game ok?
Are You an Über-Geek?
NB. You must OWN the following items featuring the above Marvel-ous Superheroes (and one DC dude) in order to add points to your score.
+10 points for every DVD you own.
+15 points for every DVD you purchased even though you disliked the movie, but bought it anyways, because you are such a huge geek.
+5 points for every DVD you ripped.
+1 point for every Marvel or DC-Movie CD Soundtrack you own. (That’s all I can give you. Frankly, I’m embarrassed for you).
+5 points for every mint-condition comic book you own. (Comic book must be in protective plastic sleeve to count.)
-5 points for every Marvel/DC comic book you have left unprotected against the elements, i.e., moisture, dust, cat fur, and wind/rain/snow. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Bonus Points: +2.5 points if you also own “The Best of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” DVD box set.

February 6, 2008 at 6:59 AMAlright, I have all of those movies (quelle surprise) except for “The Incredible Hulk” — because Ang Lee or not, that movie sucked — but I do have that soundtrack. What? The soundtrack was actually really good. Lots of good electronica.
And how many points for the hardbound books of comics? Like I have a few of those Spider-Man books that contain like a year’s worth of issues each, in a high-quality hardbound book I do not actually have any regular comic books.
Oh – and I get extra super-duper bonus points for having the Batman Collection box set, thus actually owning the Joel Schumacher schlock-fest, Batman & Robin. Terrible. He does apologize for the movie on the DVD commentary. Almost worth it. But not quite. I swear, Alicia Silverstone choosing to do that movie while in her fat phase (it was her equivalency of her freshmen year of college — even I gained the dreaded freshmen 15 — and that year notwithstanding, I have never weighed over 100 lbs in my entire life. It’s a biological thing that happens to 19 year old girls) is what contributed to the death of her career. Such a shame too – Clueless is no joke, the best movie ever.
And yeah, I count the first X-men as one of those sucky movies that I still own for completeness thing. X2 was good — I saw X3 in the theater but won’t buy that shit on DVD.

What about VHS? I have a few batman of those
I was passed on some spidey comics all in mint, not sure how many there are 5-10? and a rubbermaid full of other comics from the 60’s, not sure which of those marvel characters make up the collection?
hmm lets see how the math goes… I have just enough fingers and toes! 55.394
I dont feel so geekish though

February 6, 2008 at 11:07 PMDude, I have waaaaaaay too many points to even try to do it in my head. SAD! I have most of the movies, soundtracks and too many comics stored away to pull out.
Do I win a prize? Wait. Don’t answer that. I don’t think I would like the answer.
