I thought the cats video was good.
Not a big fan of this video in particular.
I don't really feel it's funny,
I feel bad for the kind of character you're playing.
You're not playing a retard,
but it's close enough to the line that I'm not enjoying it.

Again, I don't see the point of acting like a complete super-nerd. At least the guys on the Big Bang Theory can do it well.

I appreciate the point of the character, but it's more insulting to gamers in general than it is 'funny'. The only thing that would be worse, in my opinion would be to have another American person come in and act the part of a 'Japanese' Charlie Chan while talking about pikachu.

It's probably my current setup. But, I can't view the video.
Yeah, flash is installed.
The player on the site loads. It's just that the video never starts.
I'll try again later on a different computer.

Sorry but the big bang theory has Hollywoods phony square glasses version of a geek. Real social awkward/ greasy/funcoland/lifelong gamestop manager geeks aren't like that.

The only real geeks were on freaks and geeks and Bill is a lot like Keith.

But you cant, like.. I dunno, say "hey this is Nathan Barnett. We're talking Classics and today we're discussing the Neo Geo" or what have you.

You gotta have the distracting, unfunny, annoying slurring?

I'm not sure you get it.

What's to get? The guy is playing a character that is odd, inarticulate and nerdy.

He gets it right.

It's just not funny.

I'm totally cool with no one liking it. I dont expect everyone to be into it. But you can't say something is funny or unfunny. Theres no one opinion. I'm getting paid to do it so someone must think it's funny.

People were also paid to be on Saturday Night Live in the late 90s early 2000s.

Doesn't mean they were funny.
