The video above will be met with some controversy because on one hand it denounces the fake “cool” nerds of today who are obviously using the term as the newest trend; while on the other hand it paints nerds into with a narrow brush as a monolith. I felt the need to post it here however is because it almost feels necessary to remind people daily that “nerd and proud” is bull crap. If you grew up in the time... 

Do you ever find yourself nerding out over the most mundane thing that reminds you of a game? Awhile back we did an article on the things that we find ourselves doing day to day that directly correlates to video games. Well every day at the salt mines (read: work), I take the stairs up and I see these red pipes that immediately bring Mirror’s Edge to mind. I just want to run along the walls, grab em and scurry to the ceiling... 

  What happens when you take a silly little internet fad, try it at work, and then post it on Twitter? Um you kinda get fired. Well at least if you are a supervisor at Gamestop. Apparently former Gamestop employee John Mazzocchi thought it was a cool idea to get his “planking” fix while on the clock. He would then later discover that tweeting his feat ended up costing him his job. The funny part of this story is the... 

Editor’s Note: Re-posted with the permission of W.Carpenter (thank you sir)! Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser” and I eat the inferior one... 

For as much as we play down the influence that video gaming has on our everyday lives, the reality is it becomes such a part of you that you cannot fully disassociate reality from the games. Do you think I’m wrong? Then consider this list of real things that we do everyday that reveals our reality as gamers. You Know You Play Too Many Video Games When… You look over the edge of rooftops and hope to see a bale of hay. You... 

This week the awful game Duke Nukem Forever came out and was lambasted by game review sites all over the internet. One spaz by the name of Jim Redner who owns The Redner Group that once represented 2K Games (the company that released Duke Nukem) took it upon himself to commit Twittercide through the following tweet: “Too many went too far with their reviews… we r reviewing who gets games next time and who doesn’t based... 

I don’t think I have anything to say to Tron Guy except “good try sir”. The e-famous fat man in the Tron suit tried to up his stock by appearing on one of those fake, washed up celebrity judged shows for supposed “talent” that appeals to America. His talent I am guessing is that of storytelling but to be quite honest I am not sure… is it comedy maybe? Anyway he gets on America’s Got Talent... 

From Kotaku.com: …Japan has a long history of cross-dressing, and these otokonoko are geek-infused modern incarnations. Otokonoko are not necessarily gay. They might be bi-sexual. They might be heterosexual or even asexual. Sexuality can come into play, of course, but otokonoko is about costume and expressions of femininity. And nerds… Infused with an otaku sensibility, otokonoko eschew brands for geek street cred,... 

In the basement rolling dice I’m a wizard… No doubt many of you have heard that annoying song ‘Like a G6′ by Far East Movement well there’s a new nerdy spin on it that you’re sure to appreciate. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons fans this one’s for you… complete with pasty nerds and real goblins! I dedicate this to Shinzo who goes to the Club and dances up on strangers to this nasty song...
