History Tropers / CountDorku

15th level Australian geek with 18 ranks in Knowledge (Geekery). If you got that, you at least possess a fraction of my geekiness.

I'm prone to pointing an invisible gun at TV screens with a cry of "[[{{Warhammer40000}} Heresy begets termination]]" and remarking that [[SummerHeightsHigh Chris Lilley]] will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

If you read "[[BrainBleach I didn't need that]]" anywhere...sorry, that's probably me.

Philosophically, I am an atheist with slight NayTheist tendencies; politically, I am Vaguely Left; sexually, I'm a straight CelibateHero (although I would sleep with Kamina given a chance.) I'm also TheNicknamer to a degree.

Alignment-wise, I am LawfulGood; in ''MagicTheGathering'' terms, I consider myself blue with a small trace of white.

I have a [[http://onlysanemadman.wordpress.com/ blog]], for reasons even I don't fully comprehend. I also run a [[http://yourphysicsiskarkatrocious.tumblr.com/ tumblr]] in-character as Karkat from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', in which I answer science questions and dispense personal insults, so if you want something explained with extra shouting, go ahead. I am also the official [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCId2RFqN9bkha7DoetapW8w/videos?view=0&flow=grid Misadventure Gurus]] advertising director, which means basically putting links in sigs occasionally. And I have a [[https://twitter.com/CountDorku still embryonic twitter]].

* BerserkButton: You can believe in whatever deity you want, but if you buy into HollywoodAtheist or claim intelligent design theory is better than evolution because LOL STRAWMAN, I will give you a dressing down you will not forget. (Generally this applies to the letters page of a local newspaper and the dressing down takes the form of letters to the editor that will point out, numerically, in what ways you are wrong.)
** I also tend to flip out when "realism" is brought up in a context where nothing works according to the premises of the real world, such as most cartoons and some tabletop games.
** More recently, I've learned that most of the things AynRand has said really, really piss me off.

Other Nonsense
* This troper's father has just thought of the first decent reality TV show: Australia's Next Prime Minister. And it's how elections will work from then on.

* ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' (thankyou TV Tropes! Now if only the [=DVD=]s were cheaper in Australia)

Philosophically, I am an atheist with slight NayTheist tendencies; politically, I am Vaguely Left; sexually, I'm a straight CelibateHero ([[EvenTheGuysWantHim except]] [[IfItsYouItsOkay if]] [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]] [[StupidSexyFlanders is]] [[TroperTales/PerverseSexualLustAnime involved]].) I'm also TheNicknamer to a degree, with a large entry on the [[TroperTales/FanNickname Troper Tales entry for Fan Nickname]].

[[strike:I feel inordinately proud of [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=l9wpw3bgltrihcobo5zljvqs&page=20#495 this]]]] Crap, it seems to have been deleted. OK, stuff that survives, recorded on the {{Funny/TVTropes CMOF: TV Tropes]] page: enhancing the verdict against the [[StargateSG1 Ancients]] to [[UpToEleven teraguilty]] on the NeglectfulPrecursors page, and the phrase "ARRRRRRRR MY BRAIN HURTS" that has since been removed from NoSuchThingAsSpaceJesus but is still on the CMOF page. Also, I helped drag the {{FATAL}} rape football over the line at the end of the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=7ixhxjqoe9swz1xv4bxgw5h0&page=1 forum thread]], starting about [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=7ixhxjqoe9swz1xv4bxgw5h0&page=34 here]].

* ''TopGear'' (despite not actually possessing a driver's license)

Philosophically, I am an atheo-agnostic [[NayTheist misotheist]] (basically "it's a good thing God probably doesn't exist because if he did he'd be a bastard"); politically, I am Vaguely Left; sexually, I'm a straight CelibateHero ([[EvenTheGuysWantHim except]] [[IfItsYouItsOkay if]] [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]] [[StupidSexyFlanders is]] [[TroperTales/PerverseSexualLustAnime involved]].)
