Nerdfighters ITP?

[Lioness]

I figure, with the massive amount of nerdy people we have here, there have to be some nerdfighters amongst you.

Anyone?

For the Nerdfighters out there...have any of you had a look at Your Pants (http://yourpants.org/forum.php)? It's a bit nuts right now, but I'm hoping it will settle down after a couple of weeks.

DFTBA :smallbiggrin:

Is it odd that when I saw the title of this thread, Yuichiro Nagashima (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcqr2h_otaku-kickboxer-challenges-k-1-2010_sport) was the first person to pop into my head?

[Mina Kobold]

What's a Nerdfighter? A type of Starfighter?

Or is it a ninja? I think it's a ninja. Possibly a robot-themed one.

[Lioness]

A nerdfighter is a person who is proud to be nerdy and intelligent, and who fights to decrease WorldSuck. Nerdfighters are not composed of cells and tissue, but instead made entirely of awesome. Nerdfighters are diverse in their hobbies, which can range from writing Nerdfighter songs to playing D&D. Nerdfighters have also been described as someone who is "Outgoing, intelligent and awesome enough to accept nerd as a compliment". The polar opposite of a Nerdfighter is a Decepticon.

Basically, nerdfighters are people who love being nerds.

[ghost_warlock]

My being a nerd is incidental. I'm much more enthusiastic about my being a geek.

[Mina Kobold]

Basically, nerdfighters are people who love being nerds.

I love being a nerd, a geek, an otaku and any other denominator for loving Anime, Video games, Comicbooks, DnD, WoD, Fantasy Litterature, Classical music, Science fiction litterature, Fantasy movies, Science fiction movies Manga, science and drawing any of the above.

Does that count? :3

Hi, I'm Fred, I'm a nerd and I'm damn proud of it.

[The Rose Dragon]

Darling, Fetch the Battle Axe!

I'm a Nerdfighter who is not really a nerd, mostly because Hank Green is awesome and so are his songs.

[Dogmantra]

I have been a Nerdfighter for not particularly long. Well okay I've been a Nerdfighter for freaking ages but I've only known it for like a month. :smalltongue:

[Prime32]

I know a Nerdfighter...

[Shades of Gray]

Dead Fish, Try Breathing Air.

I'm Shades Of Gray in your pants.

[Zaydos]

If all it takes to be a nerdfighter is to be proud of being a nerd/geek/otaku/freaky myth and fantasy nut then sure I'm a nerdfighter.

DFTBA.

If all it takes to be a nerdfighter is to be proud of being a nerd/geek/otaku/freaky myth and fantasy nut then sure I'm a nerdfighter.It's an organisation. Or club, or something like that.

[Shades of Gray]

If you want to be a Nerdfigther, you already are one. Nerdfighters, instead of being made of blood, flesh, bone, and other tissues are considered to be made of awesome. We fight for nerds, not against them (as the name would normally suggest.)

[unosarta]

This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyQi79aYfxU) explains it very well.

[grimbold]

as the only nerd at my school i am a very proud nerdfighter
also i am the nerd outcast
so as i get outcast more i become a greater nerdfighter
it has a proportionate relationship

[Teddy]

Am I proud of being a nerd? Hell yes!

In both my family and my current school, nerdiness is actually the norm, so there isn't much WorldSuck to battle in my life, but I'll keep my head high no matter what challenges will be put in front of me, because I'm a nerd, and therefore, those challenges are all beneath me. :smallbiggrin:

[Zaydos]

If I have to fight world suck then I'm not sure if I am one... my friends are all nerds/geeks and my primary social outlet is a board game club. I love being a geek/nerd and never stop being one... but I don't interact much with suck.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Good, now that we've drawn them into the open...

*throws net*

The power of their infinerdism will energize the world for years to come!

Nerdfighters!

I really do need to take a picture of my Giant Squid of Anger tshirt at some point. And thank you for the Your Pants link, I tried to register the day it opened but registration had already closed. I am now in Your Pants.

DFTBA.

[unosarta]

I wonder if Infinerdism Corp. is hiring.

By being awesome, and awesome with other people, and putting that awesome up on the internet, you are fighting world suck.

[Drynwyn]

I'm a nerd, I started a school D&D club, and tried to recruit everyone in the school to it, and k sound my weekends memorizing obscure rule minutaie.
And I'm proud of it.

I take the word "nerd" to mean Not Even Remotely Dorky, so thank you for the compliment.

Pretty much this, for me.

[Zaydos]

-snip-

That made me lol, thanks.

[RabbitHoleLost]

You better believe I bought the Chewie/Solo 2012 shirt.
And also half of John Green's books.
And also Hank Green's cover of Tom Milsom's Can't.

Haven't watched the vlogs as obsessively as I once did, but, ah...
DFTBA.

[Shades of Gray]

I want the pizza shirt.

I've bought all of John Green's books, and am currently reading Zombicorns.

[Coidzor]

Who decided on the name anyway? How could they forget how weak Fighters (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/fighter.htm) are? :smallconfused:

I clicked this thread hoping it was about nerds who like fighting. :smallfrown:

Apparently they got it from an arcade game by the same name which made them come up with the idea in the first place.

I think I just added another qualification for becoming a nerdfigher by knowing that. :smalltongue:

I just finished Looking For Alaska, and An Abundance of Katherines, but my local supplier (I.E. my friend) doesn't have any others. :smallfrown:

[For'Ninniach]

Basically, nerdfighters are people who love being nerds.

Nerdfighters, are, instead of being made of regular human things, like, bones, and muscle, and water, n'stuff, are made of awesome.

This.

I DO, TOO.
they're in Ely.
And I'll get them by Tuesday next week. Cause I'm going to Ely.

[Andraste]

I'm not, but I know that my cousin who's sometimes on GitP is, so I have some exposure to them.

[Azuyomi244]

Hehe thats me lol :smallbiggrin:

Anyway yeah
Nerdfighters!!

[Necro_EX]

Sounds like some sort of marketing ploy, to me.
Hmmm...GitP's lack of a skeptical emoticon distresses me to no end. :/

Regardless, I am quite proud of my personal levels of nerdiness.

[absolmorph]

Ah, yes. I just got in Your Pants and have begun posting.
I forgot to register before, when it wasn't 4 AM.
Well, I got it done. Now that I've completed by task, I shall retire to my recuperacoon 'til the morn.

[Necro_EX]

Ah, yes. I just got in Your Pants and have begun posting.

You know, taken out of context...

That's dirty. :D

[Lioness]

You know, taken out of context...

That's dirty. :D

That's the point :P

I'm glad that Your Pants have settled down a bit now...not so many people in there at once. It's easier to keep up with things.

[MartytheBioGuy]

Hoo-hah! Nerdfighters! |V|n (>.<) n|V|

[absolmorph]

You know, taken out of context...

That's dirty. :D
Oh, no, I've been caught :smallamused:

Regardless, I am quite proud of my personal levels of nerdiness.I can't tell if you're being serious or not. If you are, and to everyone in this thread who doesn't really know what a Nerdfighter is...
These guys are John and Hank. They make videos. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyQi79aYfxU)
If this is a marketing ploy, it's been going on for four years.

Also, Youtube videos don't cost money to watch.

Not a very good ploy when you could earn more money by looking for pennies on the street. :smalltongue:

[Necro_EX]

Well, I had seen talk of shirts or books or such earlier in the thread, which is largely where that stance came from.

Now, after watching that video...
It seems like a word constructed to create a sense of solidarity, but that just seems superfluous to me, as I'm fine with being called a nerd and don't need to tack onto it for that to be meaningful, but hey more power to ya if you're into that, I guess.

Idunno, just a little...odd to me.

[Dogmantra]

Well, I had seen talk of shirts or books or such earlier in the thread, which is largely where that stance came from.

Those are just things made by nerdfighters. I get where the confusion came from, but you don't need to buy any of John Green's books or Hank Green's music to be a nerdfighter. Lots do, but that's because they're good books and good music which they were introduced to by other nerdfighters. There's a correlation, definitely.

[Necro_EX]

Alright, well at least I'm not confused so much about the whole deal, anymore. :D

[Recaiden]

I know of them, but I don't think I am. I don't want to be a nerd; it just happened. I'm definitely not proud of it, I'm just not going to change that for anyone.

[grimbold]

I clicked this thread hoping it was about nerds who like fighting. :smallfrown:

awww
its going to be okay

[Moff Chumley]

I'm the wrong sort of nerd, I'm afraid. :smallfrown:

Also, those guys. I remember those guys. Haven't seen that stuff in a while, man...

[absolmorph]

There is no "wrong kind of nerd".

[One Tin Soldier]

DFTBA!

So last semester one of John Green's videos was used in my Econ class. It was awesome.

[Raistlin1040]

I convinced my statistics teacher to let us watch Hank's Probability 101 video.
