Poll: We need a new Nerd 'thing'!

[AcacianLeaves]

I think pirates, vampires, ninjas, zombies, and Chuck Norris have had a good run. We need new material. Something fresh, something that hasn't been done to death. Let's revitalize nerd culture with a new thing to obsess about!

Once a winner is elected, we are all required to never shut the fuck up about it, therefore ensuring that dozens of games, movies, and TV shows are made using this new 'thing' as a theme.

Some of the listed members already have a smaller part, but wouldn't you like to see them reach the status of nerd obsession that pirates and ninjas have enjoyed?

EDIT:
My apologies for neglecting Vikings, vote other and explain yourself to have your voice counted!

Samurai. It seems like a logical choice.

But, then again, Scots are way more awesome...

 

[madcap2112]

An inanimate rod!!

 

[gRiM_rEaPeRsco]

Whys scots? we are a boring, depressing bunch

 

[RatRace123]

Scots, my heritage told me to pick it. (This is all more effective if you hear a scottish accent while reading this.)

WE ARE THE WILLIAM WALLACE!

 

[Spaghetti]

Wait, Scots? I'm not sure I can become a Nerd of myself, wouldn't that be like dividing by zero? And who's Allen Cumming?

But if I had to choose one on that list, It'd have to be Scots. Because we're awesome.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

I vote 'other', because I'm boring like that.
Plus, I see nothing about Terrans or Kittens up there.
Or robotic-enhancement.

 

[demoman_chaos]

Gladiators. Rome is awesome and there has yet to be a good gladiator themed game to date (that I know of).

 

[AcacianLeaves]

By 'Scots' I'm of course referring to the classic Scottish man in a kilt with his bollocks in the wind swinging a broadsword. Era of history doesn't matter. I want to see this happen in a modern setting.

Oh, they also must always be screaming.

 

[Enzeru92]

Come on Samurai its in League with the whole Ninja theme too so it's all cool

Where the FUCK is the "Viking" option?

Hmm...good choice.

 

[joshthor]

i voted alan cumming because he has a sexually suggestive name. no idea who he is though

agreed, vikings are like pirates with more beard, therefore better

 

[geddydisciple]

Gladiators. Rome is awesome and there has yet to be a good gladiator themed game to date (that I know of).

Gladius was a great game. I'd suggest picking it up and firing up the old gamecube for a play threw.

OT: I would be all about vikings.

 

[hittite]

Oh crap. I just realized that I confused Luchador with Matador (seriously, those guys have some cojones) and it's too late to change my vote!

So, I'll verbally add my vote to Scotsmen. And a neat video.

Spoiler: Alan Cumming:

Although technically he should be included in the 'Scots' category. Seriously though, I'd like to see some Alan Cumming related 'Chuck Norris' type material.

Groundskeeper Willie says it's the Scots who are ruining Scotland!

I voted Luchadors, because Strong Bad needs to make a comeback in geek culture.
