QuoteReally, really awesome. D&D geekdom meets commentary on the standard rise, fall, and humbling of today's Top40s Pop Star. Nice work.

well put.

I'm surprised you hadn't heard of him before really

Not all nerds are "into" nerdcore

btw apparently this (just-released!) video = yet another Kickstarter Success Story!

Embarassing death? I dunno. Wasn't that his take on tortured-soul rock stars committing suicide? He's playing a D&D adventure where his character is a pop star, so...

Also, nerdcore became mainstreamish with White & Nerdy.

Nice vid... gave me laughs.

Ummm... I guess you didn't notice that yes he had a belt around his neck but also he was reaching for the hand lotion right next to the kleenex box. :cough:

nerdcore ... in a jingle for a cloud product! (the tune is actually good)
