For me, it would have to be staying up all night with my old roomate last semester with a few observers to play through the ENTIRE Silent Hill series. In order of 2, 1, 3 & 4. It was insane. And it all started with the Trailer to the new movie.

From 6 pm till... damn, around 10 in the morning. With quite a few breaks in between. We almost gave up. But lucky for us, I've beaten all of them before so I knew what to do and where to go. You might think I'm pulling your leg when I say this, cause we were freaking out ourselves. But when we stepped outside afterwards there was FOG.

Whenever I see fog in the mornings I always stare at it, waiting for a zombie to appear.

Me, too.

In specific I can program in Java, Scheme, and VB. I'm learning Perl and MIPS Assembler (one step above machine language! woo). I've had experience with HTML and I have a book on C++. I also got to implement a few features in PL0, a simplified C-like language used for teaching implementation techniques.

As far as spoken languages go, I speak English, a little Spanish, and even less Japanese. One day I'll be able to read Japanese at a kindergarten level (kanji and everything).

Haha some else knows how to program in Scheme, though I doubt no one knows how or has ever had to program in Squeak except people who go to GA Tech.

I also feel the same way, since I'm up to about 10 languages (Java, C, C++, C#, Scheme, Squeak, MIPS assembly, HTML/CSS, Lisp, BASIC) I know how to program in (some better than others. Also I have a nice collection of coding books now, and some game design ones. I remember spending many nights working on my QBasic programs, even made a simple paint program to help me figure out the coordinates to use in Line statements so I could use them in my 2 player vs RPG I never finished. Now I don't think I've had a semester yet I haven't spent all night working on something.

As for other geeky things I have lost count of the amount of all nighters, and late night code sessions I've pulled, and the number of times I've spent all night with my friends playing C&C and various other games. Not to mention the amount of times I have toted my desktop and CRT monitor to friends houses.

Re: Geek Achievements

I do not like the term "Geek", but I've about 400-450 MegaMan songs on my iPod, and rising.
