Wil Wheaton on what it means to be a Nerd.

Unread post by Silivren »

I saw the article of Wil speaking of what being a nerd was. He was delivering this speech for a newborn baby girl. Let me just say no matter what anyone says about this man he is amazing. When you watch the video you'll see why he should be King of the Nerds and something all Nerds aspire to be like. Be warned, there are slight onions. :lol:

I'll agree that that was a good speech but I'll have to disagree on the "King of the Nerds" thing as I don't think he's good enough for that title.

I don't think it matters(to me personally)what he's been in. I say King of the Nerds because he is a nice and genuine person and to me his personality qualifies him. :)

And I will disagree with that. There are heaps of people like that in Nerd culture so I don't think it's a title that should go to him. I don't think it should go to anyone really.
