I'm just curious to see if there are any nerdfighters on The Escapist. So, are you a Nerdfighter?

Yeah, I've watched all of John, and Hank's videos. But I wouldn't call myself a practicing Nerdfighter. I'm not committed enough :)

DFTBA

Could we get a definition as to what a "nerdfighter" is? Someone who fights like a nerd? Someone who fights nerds?

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 known to perform their Happy dances when they are joyful, and each Happy dance is unique to its respective Nerdfighter. 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.

Yay for google

No option for bored ambivalence.

Am I proud to be a nerd? Y'know, I don't really know or care. Nerds would call me a non-nerd, and non-nerds would call me a nerd. *shrug* *whatever*

It's Darling, but good attempt. I've seen most of the brothers Green's videos, and I have an account in Your Pants and on the Ning, but I don't interact with it much. I'm distracted by other things. I AM a Nerdfighter by definition if not in true practice.

Don't Forget to be Awesome
Danes Fear the burning Acropolis
Dandelions fly through blue air
Darling, fetch the battle axe.


And many others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0VnI1dI7zw

Oh and Hank... Best Wishes!

Yes, I haven't seen all the vlogbrothers videos but I think I've seen most. I've been considering starting my own vlogs actually, Charlie McDonnell style.

I used to beat up nerds in middle school if that's what you mean.
I'd say that a more beffitting term for you would be ****, as apposed to nerdfighter if you were being serious.

OT: Don't quite grasp what that is but I've been a nerd for 19 years so I'm not going to start denying it now if that's what you mean. "Outgoing, intelligent and awesome enough to accept nerd as a compliment" Well I'd say I'm fairly intelligent and as aforementioned I have no qualms about being labelled a nerd and in fact embrace the term as a description of myself. Though the words outgoing and awesome are the polar opposite of me, so I probably don't qualify as a nerdfighter. Oh well, nevermind.

The correct term by Nerdfighter standards is Decepticon. Hoo-ha!

I haven't seen their videos in months. I really liked those guys -- they are hilarious, imaginative and talented -- but I don't know for sure why I stopped watching them.

I better go watch them again, I suppose.

vlogbrothers

Vlogbrothers is a vlog about two brothers -- John Green is a rewarded author and Hank Green is a semifamous musician. They talk about nerdy subjects like books, politics, news, and other stuff, and they frequently release videos on their YouTube channel I linked.
