[Putnam]

why are we attributing old jokes to this terrible show now

[kaijyuu]

That show is many people's first experience with geek culture.

Yes, but GEORGE TAKEI? God damn.

[penguinofhonor]

I really hate that show.

Did you know that rock/paper/scissors/lizard/spock, one of the things it's most famous for inventing, was actually taken from some website somewhere?

[kaijyuu]

Some website somewhere.



I've watched the first two episodes of that show and hated it. Don't see the appeal, myself. But whatever~ If people like it, I'm not going to whine.

[Putnam]

It's kind of like nerd blackface, really...

(though it's not quite the same, obviously)

[Flying Dice]

From what I've heard of it, it's nerd culture for the Baby Boomers, in the only format they understand. 

[penguinofhonor]

I don't really care about the stereotypes or anything (and blackface is a completely inappropriate comparison), it's just that it's not a very good show for how popular it is.

Frankly I much prefer Community. Abed is a much more likable aspie character than Sheldon. And Dan Harmon, the show creator, is probably the nerdiest to ever produce a (non-sci fi) tv show. One of episodes is just the main cast playing a game of AD&D (with a limited number of dice rolls shown to avoid scaring the straights). Well, that's not entirely true; more happens in that episode, but it all takes place during the session.

[MaximumZero]

I give both shows a solid 'meh'. I don't really see the appeal in either one, as they both just serve to make geeks/nerds the butt of even more jokes than we already are.

[Scelly9]

I never really like Community, but the Pillows Vs. Blankets episode was pretty damn good.

[Scelly9]

While we are on the topic, Battleground? Love it? Hate it?

[penguinofhonor]

May 10: "Out of stock! Back in stock est. May 12."
May 13: "Out of stock! Back in stock est. 1-3 weeks."

Why would you even tell me it would be 2 days? Was that ever really a possibility?

13.5 hours of CUDA debugging down; 8 to go before it's due. D:

All I know is somethings somewheres are broken. CUDA debugging is like debugging with breakpoints, but without the breakpoints.

You seem to be implying that a shows popularity is actually correlated in some way to how good it is. Sadly, it isn't.
