God the second trilogy was so much better than the original

**Coolyo294**

Doctor Who really isn't that good.

**Gomericus**

Hey look a girl!

**AduroT**

You got the thread title wrong. These all seem like Great things to say in a room full of nerds. I may have to make a keep a list of these so I can throw some out next time I'm at the FLGS.

**Experiment 626**

Two things to never do in a room full of nerds:
a) Play the 'Escalation Game'
b) Play the 'Your-Team/My-Team' game

While entirely comical and hugely entertaining, these games go to very, very, extremely BAD places rather quickly!

But...Final Fantasy 7 does suck. Wouldn't you want the truth to get out?

**Shadowseer_Kim**

If you wanted to start a heated debate then yes. All great things to say.

Nerd 1 to Nerd 2: Joss Wheton stuff is so good.
Me: Who?
Nerd 2: he made firefly.
Me: Ooohh.. the cowboy pirates in space show, I didn't like it.

RAGE!!!

"Internet Explorer is legitimately the best web broswer out there at the moment. The others just can't compete!"

"I'm glad they canned Firefly. It had gakky writing and boring characters."

"Call of Duty is the most innovative videogame series ever. It redefined the FPS."

**Monster Rain**

Goku would beat the gak out of Superman.

I know no one likes a grammar Nazi, but I simply could not help myself. Is it really that hard to punctuate the end of a sentence instead of letting it crash up the ass of the next?

On topic of what SHOULD be said to a room full of nerds(if applicable)

"Dude, have you ever heard of this thing called a shower?"

There might be more girls here if you didn't leer uncomfortably/shout Monty Python quotes at them.

**Tannhauser42**

You probably shouldn't shout the words "Rapid Oxidation!" in a room full of intellectuals.

Nothing, and I truly mean nothing, will make me nerd rage like the Prequel Trilogy. It makes me so angry I actively avoid discussions about it.

I sat down and rewatched most of it. It was better than I remember, but not great.

The ending was pretty amazing for as big of a stick as Janeway happened to be carrying around in her backside the entire show.

**gunslingerpro**

Star Trek is the one with light swords and the guy with the breathing problems right?

**deathholydeath**

A trifle over the line, sorry. -Mannahnin

**Orlanth**

"Who cares, it's not important like football."
"This spaceship will clearly beat that spaceship in a fight."
"In ten years we will have fusion."
"Why don't you collect something useful instead?"

**Mannahnin**

Don't quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Just don't. You'll start someone off and then you'll hear all those once-funny-and-loved lines AGAIN, probably delivered badly, and your love and fond feelings for that fine film will further dissipate and diminish.

**Jihadin**

Brought my M4 to the group so they can handle a real one like in BF2,,,they brought the ammo

edit

three hours of comedy gold

**CthuluIsSpy**

Battlefield Earth is the greatest sci-fi film ever made. Much better than Star Wars and Wrath of Khan combined.

Anime is overrated

Frank Herbert is a horrible writer. His son is better.

J.R.R Tolkien work's are trite and preachy.

Rose is the best doctor's companion

The third fallout was better than the second and the first.

Burning a disc means putting it in an oven, right? (I gak you not, someone actually asked me this)

Loooooooooooool NEERRRRDS! Get a girlfriend and exercise, nerrrds!
