For Max it’s space exploration and engineering.
For me (Dee) it’s law, probability, Everest (though I’d never, ever want to climb it) and (currently) Stone Age monuments.
What’s your nerdy pleasure?

Oh, pretty much anything I find interesting I get nerdy about. If I like a band I track down all their obscure b-sides, or I try to watch all a particular director's films. I like sci-fi (ask me anything about Dr Who), black & white horror films...the list goes on. |

"We are massive marvel fans and stag is also a massive Star Wars geek "
I have to say I'm a lover of Star Wars. I saw The first one at the cinema Christmas 1977.. and loved everything about it since.
I don't think I qualify as a geek though as sometimes I'll be asked a question about it and I'll have no idea what the answer is.
I did have Star Wars wallpaper as a kid, and a massive Vader poster.
I don't hate any of the films.
My top two being Star Wars and Rogue One.
I despise bloody Jar Jar Binks.

I mean great you like volcanoes (me too visited lots). But it's illegal to take (and sand in many places). In Hawaii there's a legend that says a goddess there sets a curse upon those who take rocks as souvenirs. Good on her. |

I'm exactly like this. I get interested in something and it becomes ridiculously important to me for a while - to hear every song by a particular band or read every book by a particular author, or to explore a genre of film I'd not previously much bothered with. And then I move onto another one. |

I buy and customise model horses and then sell them !
I am also really into searching for unidentified British houses ! Usually from the early 1900s. It's a FB group I stumbled across a couple of years ago and solving something gives me a great buzz ! I think I'm officially a bit boring lmao. |

Great assessment of the games.
I'm hoping that when they do release the third one, they don't ruin it like the Farcry games have been by FC 6

That's interesting. What sort of stuff do you make?.. I bought a little sequencer box thing from an independent maker on etsy, a few months ago..for all the synths ive got.
I've got loads of instruments, I'm nerdy about recording/composing music.
I'd say I can play about 6 or instruments well, like piano guitar, drums and their derivatives..(like bass, ukelele & percussion etc.)
But then I have a collection of unusual instruments that I cannot play at all really. Like the kora I'm looking at the end of the room. It's like an ancient African harp..but I'm keeping it for recording samples with it. |
