geeks versus nerds
Geeks versus Nerds Creator the Lord High Pig Monkey ... more or less anyway
|
Kirk vs. Picard ... Marvel vs. DC ... New Who vs. Classic. Y'all had these debates with your crew. I know it and you know it. But what if you and your friends took it one step further? "Borg vs. Daleks - Who's the Greater Scourge of the Universe?" (one answer must be in the form of a musical number), "Captain Kirk vs. Captain Jack Harkness - Which Captain Goes to Greater Lengths to Explore New Territories" (Must be made about sex as fast as possible) or even "Santa Claus vs. Superman - Who's Done the Most For Mankind" (Must make points without a Man of Steel reference).
For about seven years Geeks versus Nerds was a staple of both the Halifax Geek and Comedy scenes, bringing laughter and NERF darts to many a local event. While the live shows are currently on indefinite hiatus (unless you're in Vancouver, in which case you should absolutely check out the west coast edition of GvN), there's still regular content coming on the GvN youtube channel, most notably film review show "Reel Geeks" (hosted by my human!) and the crew's monthly Pokemon Go Community Day adventures as "Team Nova." |
#GVNLive
When the live shows ran, each show had an associated Twitter contest called "#GvNLive." Think of it as "Mystery Science Theater 3000" if they commented on live comedy instead of movies. At the end of each show, whoever produced the funniest tweet would win a prize, with a different winner crowned at each show. With one exception. I feel like you can guess who.
Greatest of all twitter
See, I sound like I'm bragging don't I? Like I'm all talk. I get that, but unlike most humans who say they the greatest of all time, I can back it up. I retired from #GvNLive as the winningest tweeter in contest history. There's a reason I have a twitter themed title belt, and this is it. I was the only multiple winner #GvNLive ever had! You free to not believe, but my resume don't lie:
