Escapist News Network: Nerd Flu

[FROGGEman2]

I really liked that! Although... every single actor but Graham had difficulty getting their mouths around the words. Annoyed the hell outta me.

 

[MeSomeGuy]

OMG LRR I love you. Make more of theses

 

[Nivag the Owl]

YES! I'm completey safe. No idea what 'ODST' stands for and I don't indulge in any of the contributing factors! Result.

Come now, I've seen pictures of you. Your telling me you've never indulged a fierce neck beard.

I have a nice tidy chin beard. I shave and keep clean around it and therefore don't have a neck beard

Great first episode; you guys seem to know your stuff. It did alot better of a job grabbing my attention than the first episode of Apocalypse Lane.

 

[Wolcik]

Neat, but it might be a problem if it comes up the same day as ZP. I'd rather have something awesome to watch each day than overload myself one day and have a painful hangover the next with nothing to help.

After seeing the diagram I know I'm safe because I'm alergic to cats XD

This probably been pointed out already but the link [http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/461] supposedly leading to Kanye interrupting the pope(on the twitter page) actually works. It doesn't lead to a meme, though.

World of warcraft character level? F%$#.....

Really funny i hope this becomes a weekley show

Good first episode. The girl sounded a bit nervous though. (unless she can't help herself in her pronunciation of Ninja Gaiden)

I think the intro needs some reforming though. Its pleasant, but after watching so many Onion News Network videos, I expect a much more awesome jingle when I tune in to watch some parody news...

Nerd Flu

The Escapist presents, ENN, "news you can watch," with exclusive coverage of a horrible pandemic - nerd flu.

Watch Video

This is awesome, well done folks! I'm not a big fan of the Reliable Source humor and I was fearing that this would be a video adaption of the same concept, but it absolutely rocked.

As a side-note: I know you're also the founder of Unskippable but I don't know if this series should also have the unskippable tag.

 

[O maestre]

fucking brilliant news parody's are always funny i hope this show prospers

 

[slipknot4]

Interesting... now there are 3 things i can regularly watch on the escapist =D

Darn it why is this on Wednesday? Tuesday and Friday both require some quality programming now. C'mon Escapist hibernating like this is really effecting my body. Can't you help a guy out?

I agree, Tuesday is in dire need of a good show and I think this would fit it wonderfully.

You know what this means right? Now we gotta start a boycott group until they either give in to our demands. Or they fly us to thier office so Graham can give us a full tour and send us home with Yahtzee replica hats and T-shirts. All we need now is a name.

All we need now is a name.

E.N.N.? ENN Not Now? Or is that to nerdy and recursive?

We are planning a boycott for a forum. I think the nerdy ship has already sailed.

The opening sequence reminded me of the Colbert report

Should have called it: geek flu.

Thanks! I like your avatar. Suits you.

Should have called it: geek flu.

We went with Nerd Flu for the entertaining rhyme with "Bird Flu".


Also:
The update schedule isn't our choice, but we're very happy with Wednesdays.
It's like having the time slot right after a hit TV show, people will be watching anyway, right?

 

[Orange Monkey]

Brilliant new Video Series, keep this one going guys.

It's just not quite right.
The nerd is a more brainy variant, while the geek is just very much into a particular geeky hobby.
The nerd flu would need something other than Halo ODST. Come to think of it, Halo isn't very geeky either.
Anyway, the nerd flu would work better among PC gamers.

this idea is sheer brilliance it like the onion only with video games fucking sweet... I love this.
