    In retrospect, I think I should have mentioned the maps and fan fictions I made when I was young. I don't consider something like that which takes so much patience, knowledge, and intelligent at a young age to be nerdy but, apparently, some other people do. So, I'll add that. I equate nerdity with being socially awkward and abnormally obsessed with things for the purpose of escaping real life because that social awkwardness makes it difficult.

    I should also mention that StarCraft and Diablo were a major reason I was an academic retard in middle school which probably is pretty nerdy.

    Lol, well, you seem to have made up for it as a grown up.

    I'm kinda sad that no one has an embarrassing story like I do. Seriously, sending a story to Blizzard? What a noob.

    I once made a drawing of a Mega Man character I thought would be cool to be in a game. Was about five, must've been awful. I think I might've asked my mom to send it to Capcom or something. I'm sure it was never sent anywhere though, is that close

    Back in elementary school I wrote to K .A. Applgate, the writer of Animorphs. I also sent her a few photos of animals and aliens I made out of clay including Tobias as a Hawk and a Taxxon. She wrote me back a personal letter which my mother had framed.

    I happen to like that series, you know. Did you read the WHOLE series yourself, Demo?

    Of course I did. I read everything listed here. I love animals, always have. They're so much better than people. Pretty sure that's part of why I prefer Zerg and Protoss to Terran.

    No, I don't know. Why don't you make another post and tell me all about it.

    Ironically, you should have sent it. All of the Mega Man characters (after the first game, naturally) up to I think game 6 were designed by fans.
