Is gangnam style a SC2 anthem right now or what ? I hope it is, sick tune :D

quickly becoming one of, if not the most successful Kpop song from an international point of view, and organizers know it, so they expose it a lot

Yeah, they should get it right and say "Nerds get together to watch Starcraft"

Jesus, whenever I hear Gangnam Style and see people dancing now I can't think of anything else than the guy at the WCS Nordic Finals pulling his pants down and taking off his arm prosthesis and use it as a dick. Fuck.

With that said, gotta go to a BarCraft or an event and rock it to Gangnam live.

So true! Pretty freaking awesome how much exposure barcraft is getting ^^

Spread the good news ;D

Honestly both nerd and geek are pretty bad :/
Just because Nick and Dan have gone on trying to make 'nerd' something good, doesn't mean the public views nerd and geek differently. It's practically the same.

It depends on where you're from I think. In general I think it has been getting better but the meaning of those words definitely depends on the demographic and whatnot.

But yeah both nerd and geek aren't exactly fantastic haha. I think, technically speaking, geek is supposed to be better but I'm not sure; geek just meaning someone who is into computers/tech usually and nerd meaning someone who cares too much about studies (to use the more derogatory defintions).

I think both immidiately bring up an image of a pimply, pasty, white single man who lives in his mom's basement and spends all his time in front of his computer for a lot of people.
There's another definition for people involved in e-sports. Especially so after normal looking casters and interviewed members of the crowd identify themselves as 'nerds', but it's still a very derogatory term to use in a TV broadcast I would think.
This clip was really good though other than that! Gangnam style! haha ^^

God damn I love those accents. I'm glad they interviewed a good looking guy at barcraft and not some uber nerdy lookin fella. Just better for stereotype breaking I think
