...Beverly Hills, 90210, the nerd character killed himself in Season 2. On The O.C., ADAM BRODY'S nerdy, comics-obsessed Seth is the show's heartthrob entering Season...
...stereotypical image of a black kid. My most tangible link, the one that repeatedly saved me, was the music. I had all the verses from LL Cool J down cold.

He can tell you how many extraterrestrial races have been featured on Star Trek. His latest hobby is collecting outdated Soviet space equipment. But his inner nerd is hardly humorless. Wright's cartoon-like sense of the ridiculous--familiar to all Sims players--is still much in evidence in Spore. The opening stages of the game, in which a player must eat or be eaten by other microbes, is a deliberate homage to Pac-Man. Later, after...
