How's it going, Nerdies?

Sorry about not having a post last week. I was supposed to, but simply forgot. I hope you all enjoyed your past two weeks! Are you guys doing anything fun this weekend? Personally, I'm going to Chicago and then I get to see the band fun. on Sunday!

Anyway, enough rambling...on to the matches!

Last (the previous two) week's match was between two of the best blue guys we know, Sulley and Stitch! Sulley received two votes, while Stitch received only one vote, so the title of Nerdthings champion for this week goes to Mr. James P. Sullivan! Congrats, man!

This week's match is between two great games that I know my group of friends are big fans of. In one you race against your opponents in tiny go-karts that do not seem like they should be able to go as fast as they do. That's right folks, it's Mario Kart! The contender against Mario Kart this week is another great game for a group of friends that have slight anger issues when it comes to not getting enough stars. In case you couldn't tell, it's Mario Party! Two great Mario games, fun for all ages and any number of players, but which one will take home the title of Nerdthings Champion this week? You decide!

Mario Kart or Mario Party?

Just a reminder that this week's poll is between Stitch (the awesome little blue dude) and Sully (the awesome big blue dude) from Lilo and Stitch and Monsters, Inc, respectively. You can get to the post by clicking this link. Please remember to cast your vote and feel free to help spread the word^^ Have a lovely day!

HOLY WHAT? A POST ON FRIDAY?

Hello, Nerdies! I trust that you're all well and that somewhere deep down you missed this little blog of ours being regular. Well, have no fear, for here it is: an actual post on Friday!

Now, our last debate was between Hayao Miyazaki and Walt Disney. While we recieved some votes that asked for both, I'm electing to ignore those and actually see who got the most nods! Miyazaki: 1, Disney: 3, Both: 2. Now, Disney wins by merit of having more legitimate votes, but I thought it was interesting to see. Congratulations to one of the greatest cartoonists of all time! Give it up for Walt Disney!

Now that that's done, we can move on toward new business (yay)! In honor of Disney's victiry, I would like to talk about two blue and fuzzy characters from his company. First, there's the very energetic (and sometimes obnoxious, though still cute) Stitch! This little blue dude is in the hearts of a lot of people, living in the form of a slightly distorted little voice. The second blue legend is James P. Sullivan, better known as Sully from Monsters, Inc. This guy was huge and furry and overly nice.

Both of these characters mean a lot to a lot of people, so let's hear it, Nerdies: Stitch or Sully?

Okay, so the other post didn't have the answers enabled...

So, instead of asking you guys to send your answers to us in asks (simply because that would get very unorganized), I'm going to ask you to please give us your answers as a reply to this post! (If you have voted already, you can put your vote here [for better organization for us], but you don't have to, as we will make sure to have your vote counted).

So, the question is:

Walt Disney or Hayao Miyazaki?

[nerdthingsvsnerdthings]

Hey guys!

Hey guys, how's it going? I know this is a couple days late, but what can you do?

There's a couple things I must get done with this post, so let's get started!

First things first, I must explain why I was so lazy and didn't put up a new nerdthings poll for, what was it, a month?

Well, for those who don't know, I am a new-ish college student and, let's face it, college is a somewhat big thing. It takes up most of my life and what little time I don't spend in class or doing homework I, admittedly, usually use to goof off on the internet. Sometimes I get things done, but most often I'm just a lazy butt and doing things that are less important. Take right now for example. I should be working on my English homework. What am I doing instead? Creating a post for a blog I have been neglecting far too much. See how much I love you guys? So, yeah, mostly because I'm just being a lazy butt, and partially because I am still getting used to this whole college thing.

As for the second portion of this post, I'm sure you're all expecting a new poll, right? Well, that would be the case, except I have decided to make an executive decision and extend last week's poll by another week. We only got one vote and, honestly, that's just a bit disappointing. Especially for the match you guys were given! Now, I'm not going to reiterate what that was, so if you need reminding, or you want to vote (which you really should) ya'll should just head on over to this post and let us know what your vote is. If, for some reason, you can't vote from that page, shoot us an asking letting us know and we'll figure out some way to fix it.

Thanks for reading and (hopefully) voting!

Sorry for my lateness, Nerdies!

For the first order of business, I would like to announce that Heath Ledger won over Jack Nicholson unanimously for the role of the favorite Joker. Congratulation to our new Nerdthings Champion!

For the second order of business, allow me to bring up a few things. 1). If any of you have an idea for a matchup that you'd like to see, let us know! We will gladly credit you for your ideas! 2). Please don't cast votes on things that aren't actually options to be voted on. That kind of messes up our flow...You can find that, along with our other rules, on our blog. 3). If any of you want to help spread the word about Nerdthings, or just bring attention to a topic that you like, feel free to reblog so that more people can see the poll (:

And for the third and final piece of business, something has been on my mind lately. I don't really feel like it's a debate at this point, but I'm curious if I'm wrong as to what people seem to believe. So tell me Nerdies, Obama or Romney? Consider this an early opportunity to vote. I'm not going to fill this post with my opnions, but I very much know where Keydav and I stand.

Obama or Romney?

Hello, my lovely Nerdies!

I do apologize for the lateness. I've been without laptop since Friday evening and I'm actually working off of somebody else's right now. But that's not important! The important thing is last week's match!

It was a thrilling battle between two of John Green's most beloved books, but it seems that The Fault In Our Stars beat out Looking for Alaska, 2 to 1! Congratulations TFIOS! Enjoy your week as the Nerdthings champion!

This week's Nerdthings match up is a battle of the villains! Specifically, different versions of one specific villain. For those of you who enjoy a good, orphan-turned-superhero flick, I'm sure you've all enjoyed a Batman movie here and there. As you all are certainly aware of, there are several different movies, and many of Batman's villains have appeared in several of them, played by different people depending on which movies your talking about.

Well, today we're talking about one of Batman's most famous villains, The Joker! Now, if it was just the Joker against himself it wouldn't be very fun would it? I thought so. The real question isn't who is the Joker against, but more of a 'Which Joker do you prefer?' That's right folks, today's Nerdthings match up is Jack Nicholson's Joker (Batman, 1989) versus Heath Ledger's Joker (The Dark Knight, 2008)! I would say they're both pretty well-known, and if you haven't heard of one of them, now's a great time to familiarize yourself with the movie they come from!

So, who's it going to be? Jack Nicholson's Joker or Heath Ledger's Joker?

We are running very late...

and I apologize for that, my dear Nerdies; I do hope you can forgive us here at Nerdthings...

The last match-up that was held was the epic battle between the Harry Potter Series' late blooming heroes Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom. Luna recieved 5 votes to Neville's 3, making Luna Lovegood the new Nerdthings Champion!

This week's survey is taking a slightly different direction; rather than compare characters, you shall debate entire novels. In 2005 John Green emerged on the scene with his debut novel, Looking for Alaska. The book has been well recieved, allowing it to win awards and high praise among both critics and readers. Since then, John Green has written several things, but none quite as famous as his most recent novel, 2012's The Fault in Our Stars. This book sat on the top of The New York Time's Bestseller List for a good spin and has been one of the most notable books for young adults to come about in recent memory.

With all of that being said, is Looking for Alaska or The Fault in Our Stars the better read?
