You Know You're A Hypernerd When...

There's nerds and then there are hypernerds.  On the surface, they seem the same, but of course there are differences.  These are ten things that separate a hypernerd from a plain, average nerd.  So, without further delay, you know you're a hypernerd when...

10. This is your first kiss...

Clean your TV well before making your move.

9.  You pick up loose money and say, "Oh, I can do that."

Loose change turns you into Rannie the Thief.

8.  You can name 100 hot women and none of them are real.

One down.  99 to go.

7.  You think your teddy bear is going to hold you hostage and make you kill people.

Don't worry.  He won't do anything to you directly...except kill you if you're caught by your classmates.

6.  You learn more history from the Civilization series than you do from a history book.

Before Civ 5 I didn't know what the Songhai Empire was.

5.  You learn life lessons from an RPG instead of your parents.

I learned a lot from Squall and Co.

4.  Your music playlist 75-100% videogame music.

You better believe I "selected" a lot of these selections for my playlist.

3.  You think you can date at least nine women at once and expect none of them to get pissed.

Need I say more?

2.  You check your bank account to see how many gil you have.

Well...looks like it's time to get a job.  I'm broke.

1.  You think you're qualified to be a mayor because you've played SimCity for twenty years.

Cities Skylines is good, but SimCity 4 is still the king.

And there you have it.  10 things that let you know that you're not just a nerd, but a hypernerd.  It's also the 100th entry on this blog.  It's been a long journey to get to this point.  The journey isn't over, though.  There's a lot more good reading on the way.  I'd like to thank those of you who have been with me this long and hope you'll stay with me for the next 100 or perhaps even more.

So, are you a hypernerd, a regular nerd, or one of those lame cool people?  Make your voice heard.  Comment.

Hilarious DOA 6 Finishes

Dead Or Alive.  Perhaps the most underrated 3D fighting game series of all time.  The reason for this is simple; T&A.  Hot girls kicking ass in skimpy outfits is the calling card of the series.  For this reason, the series has often been written off as soft-core porn, an unfair assessment to be sure.

Those who do are missing out on several things.  Of course there's all the polygonal hotties, but there are other things that DOA fans get to enjoy that detractors don't.  Blazing fast combat, simple but satisfying combos, and hilarious finishes.  Those sweet, hilarious finishes.  These are just a few of these finishes, in video form.

This first vid in titled "The Mauling Of Mila", which chronicles Mila's journey from back alley brawler to auto mechanic.  Sadly, she failed at both careers...within seconds.  That has to be some kind of record.

The second vid is called "Bashing Bayman", a tale where Bayman loses twice; once to a man and once to a giant octopus.  He does ultimately win, though, as the ass-whuppin' allowed him to stumble across hidden riches.  No more mercenary work for him.

The third vid called "Neutralizing NiCO", in which Jahn Lee sends NiCO bungee jumping...without a cord.  You just have to love NiCO's death scream.  The falling upskirt is dessert.

The fourth vid is called "Eliminating Eliot".  In it, Eliot falls victim to some voodoo and gets kicked through some barrels, breaking them.  The girls from the Atelier series aren't going to be happy with him after this.

The fifth and final vid is called "Helena's Goes Through Hell", which depicts the worst day of Helena's life.  In it, Diego shows good aim, launching Helena across a rooftop and into a barrel, which then explodes, sending her careening off the roof, to her death on the concrete below.  Man...when they called this game Dead Or Alive, they meant it.

And that's just five of the many hilarious ways fights in DOA 6 can end.  You can deny the game is good.  You can deny the girls are cute.  However, you can't deny that the series has some of the most hilarious finishes in fighting games.  You can create moments like these and more in Dead Or Alive 6.
