Hey guys,

I am writing a new post for my blog called: "You know you are a Skylanders nerd when..."
I need drawn images or real photographs that depict Skylanders Nerdisms.

I will feature all relevant entries and all images will have a tag crediting the owner of the image.

I have already written quite a few lines, but if I see an image that tells a whole new nerd story I will write a line based off the image itself!

You can send your entries to skylandnerd@gmail.com

If you are interested in having an image featured on my blog but are not sure what images qualify as nerdisms, you can PM me on here for more information.

Thanks everyone =)

Images based on the punch lines below would be most helpful.

Also if you want to add a line post it below, if I get the DarkSpyro community in on this post at the bottom of the post it will say: This post was written as a joint effort by the Darkspyro.net community Contributors: "insert user names of contributors here"


You can't step foot in a store that carries Skylanders with out checking to see what is in stock even if you have no spare money.

You have thought about getting or already have a Skylanders Tattoo

You are on a first name basis with one or more employees that work in the electronics department at a store that carries Skylanders.

You get a job at a retailer specifically to have first dibs on chase variants. Who need that comforting high paying desk job when you could work with Skylanders all day.

You have ran out of shelf space for useless things such as books and movies. Make room for the Skylanders!

You purchase a starter pack for a console you don't own just because it has a special variant of a figure.

You refer to yourself as a Portal Master

You purchase a tri-pack for just one figure that you need for your collection.

You go to stores at opening on shipment days for the chance to score a chase variant.

You own a blog, youtube channel, forum or website about Skylanders... This one feels familiar 0_0

You check darkspyro forums every day

You buy ten thousand bags of chips you will never eat (number exaggerated) to get Skylanders sidekicks.

You scope out craigslist, ebay and other online auction/trading/buying/selling websites every day to be sure you don't miss out on a Skylanders deal.

You buy a bunch of stuff you don't need or is age inappropriate just because it has Skylanders on it.

Lol, very true, except the things about the tatto, the job, and the employe thing.

You go to the zoo, and claim that the animals are "new skylanders"

^ lol

When you see some shirtless guy running down the block, and you scream "HI LIGHTNING ROD"

Bring a bag full of Skylanders with you everywhere.

thinking too much about why sonic boom has so many babies

Too far..

When you dream about Skylanders and then wake up your mad and break your alarm clock for waking up

-When you create a list of who to buy first and in a specific order, and create a total amount of money you will need for them all... v.v

poor wallet, atleast those chips came with 10$'s of skylanders swap force and 1$ of skylander figures ^.^

Guys I love these! keep em coming =)

Does anyone have pictures they could draw for any of the lines? or photographs to contribute?

That will make this a more interesting and valid piece for super fans everywhere.

Sorry double posting, but i forgot to add...

If you can help me figure out which of my lines to scrap as well...

Tell me what your favorites are and which ones aren't that great.

-When taking a bath, you bring the water element skylanders with you.

-Displaying skylanders on the dashboard of your car.

-On your cellphone and on your computer or laptop screen is a skylander wallpaper.

-Buying skylander clothes, school supplies etc.

You suspect that everyone in the Skylanders section is a dirty, rotten scalper. :/

LOL, this reminds me of the other day when I was waiting outside of TRU before opening on shipment day, there were 3 others out there and I was SURE they were there for Skylanders. As soon as the door opened I made a mad dash for the Skylanders section to realize that those people were not there for Skylanders at all.

When you put Skylanders in your house's windows to scare away burglars.

When you visit the aquarium, you shout out "Hail to the Whale!!", scaring many innocent children, except the ones who know about Skylanders.

When you've seriously considered taking the five dozen Flashwings in your local Target store, and "relocating" them to various hidden places within the store, with the hope that Target might actually stock some new Skylanders then.

When you start seeing cloud shapes look like Skylanders

Okay, you asked...



Also,

- You know you're a Skylanders nerd when... You paint your own custom figure.

(I haven't done this yet, though I have plans for Goth Cynder, so I can't make a picture for this one).

-When you have a argument with someone, you try and point out things from a certain Skylander's point of view.

-When, if someone has a rare figure or a Skylander you can't get but want, you stay awake late into the nights scheming how to get it.

-When you try and convince all your friends how awesome Skylanders is to the point of driving them mad.

-When you begin to think that Maleficent was a take-off of Hex (and not the other way around).

-When you do hours of research before picking an upgrade path.

-When you put Stealth Elf and Flameslinger (among others) together, and make smooching noises.

-When you don't even wonder or worry why you just wasted a half hour or so writing "You know you're a Skylanders nerd when..." jokes.

-When your letters to Santa ask for the Toy Fair Purple Cynder.

-When you start going "What the hex?"

-When you put your other action figures on the Portal of Power, you know, just in case.

-When a good dream is one where you get a unique, one of a kind variant.

-When you think Spyro's Skylander design is the best one yet.

-When you tear up when you think of Sonic Boom.


Sorry 'bout the lack of pics. I just can't stand posting photos of myself.

More coming soon!

When your playing CoD Zombies and you scream "HOT DOG" when the Hellhounds come...

Your kids haven't played the game for months yet you still hunt for (and get excited to find) new Skylanders.

ROFL! These are awesome.

Okay so I have another Rough Draft...

These have not been arranged for order yet but have been edited. Niceguy1's Graph will also be included.

I am still in great need of images, so far we just have one. Even if they are stick figure drawings or photos with out yourself in them... Anything will do.

Thank you all for your contributions thus far, not all of them made it into this draft. But that does not mean they are not good, just not what I am looking for this time around.

When you name your dog Hot Dog!

When you become a moderator of a Skylanders (and Spyro) site after staying on it for hours a day.

When you seriously consider fighting the 7 year old at Walmart that has just unknowingly picked up a rare variant.

I once lost a pearl hot head to a mom who apparently has been looking for hot head for her "sick " son.
She also added that she didn't expect it to look like this.
Was about to grab it and buy it but she was quick and bought it in the blink of an eye

-When you see a castle, you immediately envision a massive portal or big eye ball sentries on it.

-When you place a chicken egg under a tree, in hopes you get an awesome leaf chicken.

-When you like to spin around your turtle like it's caught in a tornado.

-When you take your complete Skylanders collection with you on your honeymoon.
-And when your spouse does as well. :P

-When you begin to find dragons attractive.

-When you know all your Skylanders' statistics by heart.

-When you get angry at your dog for its distinctive lack of flaming awesomeness.

-When you see a scalper, your first thought is, "Shame on them!" and your second thought is "Wonder if I how much I can get if I snag that figure first?"

-When you begin to mistrust trees; if Kaos does there must be a good reason!

-When you grind a single figure from level 1 to 20 in a matter of hours.

-When you think that money is but a reflection of value, and not necessary. So you spend it all on Skylanders.

-When you scream out loud (in joy) when you see a variant in a store.

-When you scream out loud (in sheer agony) when you see that they still only have Flashwing.

-When you worship Jin Satome.

-When you worship Eon.

- When you nickname all your skylanders

When you can identify your Skylanders blindfolded...

I do this on my youtube channel...

How about....

When you cry a little bit inside whenever you see somebody that has opened a rare variant?

How about..
You collect EVERYTHING, even variant Triples and Singles, ALL merch (Even junk), Mega Bloks, and EVERY game?

Leave GameMaster out of this :P
