The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Create your own geek code...

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Heh...this whole thing is older than dirt (back in 1996), but still fun. It's basically a quick 200-300 character code that describes the nature of your geekiness. (I discovered it browsing Larry Wall's site.) It's basically a three-step process:

1. You can create your own basic code <a href="http://www.gushue.net/geekcode.php">here</a> (hit the executable of your choice).
2. Modify the resulting code with some of the extra rules <a href="http://www.geekcode.com/geek.html">here</a>.
3. Translate your result <a href="http://www.ebb.org/ungeek/">here</a>.

Here is mine:
