Below is the definitive guide that any self-respecting nerd should devote their life to completing as much of as possible. Comics, sci-fi, fantasy. It’s all in here. Sorted by year of release, this is somewhat of a personal checklist for me to complete in life. If i ever become James Halliday, refer to this page.

This page is also still being constantly updated. Let me know what I missed. It is admittedly largely stereotypical male-driven ideas of nerddom.
