bit of a nerdy one this....
...I used to work in a computer games shop and had a plethora of odd customers. One such guy looked like a cross between Jimmy Nail and Rod Hull (by christ, it's hideous!)...a very weird guy who would always complain about various games on his Playstation.
So Rod Nail went through a phase of nagging us about when "Final Fantasy 7" was coming out. I couldn't give a shit as I had it on import and already clocked it (the US version was out about 6 months before the UK edition was released), but Rod would continually ring up and nag for it.

The day came and he was first in the store. He legs it upto the counter, throws his pennies at us then legs it out again. That's the end of that we all think. Unfortunately not. He comes back down to us a few hours later, saying it's rubbish. I say "Well it's not your normal run of the mill type of game, as we've been telling you for months mate. Sorry". He answers "And it's bloody easy too, I did the first disk in an hour and a half."

To which all us nerds replied "YOU FUCKING LIAR!" and laughed in his face, much to the amusement of other customers in the store at the time. He said "What did you call me?", and I quite happily explained that it takes a good 9-12 hours to finish the 1st disk, and there's no way on earth he could've done that. He grumbled and then said "Ok, well I don't like it then." Sulking twat, NEVER START AN ARGUEMENT WITH A NERD.

Does it make me a nerd
that I laughed out loud at his claim of finishing the 1st disc in an hour and a half before I read your response to it?

Why
can't they ever lie about things that are believable? An hour and a half... classic :D

Hour and a half?
That's...erm...novel!

I did manage to nearly complete it in a day. Thanks to getting pissed the day before, falling asleep at 4pm, waking up at midnight, and deciding it'd be a great idea to start it again (i'd only stopped playing it a week before).

I only managed it due to -
6 Bottles of lucozade
3 Packs of chicago town Three Cheese pizza
1 Takeaway pizza
A friend who did the battles while i went the toilet.

Unfortunately, I wasn't quite as good as i thought. Being confident (and still a little drunk) I proudly announced "I'll complete this by midnight", to which my mate (who knew the game better than I did) responds "Bollucks, bet you £20 you won't!". I accept, go for it, and remember i've never won a bet for money in my life...

I still haven't.
