It's been about a year since I commented on this site, but I could not let this day go by without coming back and saying goodbye. Videogum has honestly meant a great deal to both my wife (Baby Friday) and I, more than we would probably be willing to admit. We met some awesome people because of this site and made some actual real life friends as a result of it. I know that may sound weird considering this is just another website that makes shit of pop culture, but, least be honest, Videogum made better shit than most -- maybe the best shit. Big time shoutouts to both Gabes, Kelly, and Scott. Thanks for the memories!
So, being a teacher I, obviously, come across a lot of nerds and I have to say I do feel like things have changed. So long as they can maintain their nerditude (TM) through the first year or two, the high school nerd is now the equivalent to any alternative group.
I teach this one girl and, who boy, she does not give a FUCK! I mean, she runs the gamut: Latin, Magic the Gathering, ComicCon, DragonCon, fan fiction, the works. And the kids really seem to like her for it. And if they don't, she's going to Yale so they can suck it.
Made it to 0:16 and then shit myself to death. R.I.P. Teach. You died doing what you loved -- watching a terrifying video of partially finished robots singing vaudeville.
I wanted to let you guys know that I got out. There's football out here. I could probably get you out too. No promises though -- Julie Bowen looks like she means business.
