I are teh winner
Well, for one, the greatest triumph of recent months was hooking my Xbox 360 and double-monitor PC up through the same home network, with a program on the 'puter to convert any and all media files on the fly to the Xbox's awkward WMV/WMA DRM-waving formats, then controlling it all via my colour-changing Chameleon remote control.

Or, the other day, meeting a stunning girl, who came over for a visit, and spending the time raving about Transformers on HD-DVD (which, thank feck, she was as into as I was. Who knew?)

Oh, and shedding a small tear when Blu-Ray stamped the frail life out of a dying HD-DVD and swearing to leave the player to rest with my Minidisk player.

God rest them both.

Oh, I also own books about the making of the Doom games (IDDQD, IDDKFA etc) and I have a print of the cover of an obscure Warhammer 40K book framed on my wall. And a chaos star tattoo...

Oh, I've had over 60 different mobile phones in my time. I can list them all. I also know pretty much everything about mobile phone operating systems, data protocols and the wireless networks.

Oh, and I have pet scorpions. And a snake. And I have a pair of ornamental Stargate mugs in the shapes of Horus and Anubis.

Oh, and I hunted eBay until I found a model of Minas Tirith for sale. And I'm going to make a Witch King of Angmar helm out of steel. I've made three scaled down models from paper, card and plastic.

Oh, and I'm known as Wikipedia by my friends because I apparently (so not true) know everything. Although I do browse wikipedia at lunch for fun. Did you know that the top Ace in WWI was....and so on.

Whoops...
I still have an army of WH40K Chaos stuff in a box in my loft. To my credit, I haven't opened the box in over 5 years, and I always preferred the art to the game mechanics.

Agreed
The games were fairly shocking and the clients were scary. The literature and art was, and still is, top notch, though.

I do remember one time in the shop, a young lad named Justin got banned. The staff were pincering in to grab him and 'invite him to leave the premises' when he piped up with "I'm banned, am I?" and grabbed a pot of paint (Ultramarines Blue, old-style white lid pots) and drank it to the horror and surprise of everyone present.

He took a few sprightly steps towards the door, stopped, staggered, moaned and stumbled over to a postbox for support.

Naturally, everyone in the store walked out in silence, desperate to see if their eyes had lied to them.

The sight of a fourteen year old geek racked by sobs and intermittently crying out for his mother as he vomits blue paint into a postbox slot will stay with me forever.

Paint
Fortunately GW paint is Non-Toxic. (Maybe thats why ?)

nit picking!
t'was IDKDFA (ID Killer Fucking Ammo).
The best Doom cheat though was the noclip cheat; IDSPISPOPD (ID Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles Of Putrid Debris). I remember actually being disappointed when they changed it to IDCLIP in Doom2...

Also, what's a Chameleon remote control when it's at home?!

we knew it as
I Don't Know Fuck-All

P.s.
Ooodles of Tyranids, Sisters of Battle, Undead, Chaos and various similar things in my room, all half-painted and converted, almost never played with. The painting was the fun bit.
I keep meaning to make room for it and do more painting, even if just so I can finish them off and sell them.

Got loads of Confrontation stuff too.
