Okay, which one of you photographed my desk?
*click!*
That. Is. Epic. Even by my standards.
Someone’s got a serious case of agoraphobia.
It’s not the gore that is so scary, it’s all those people out there.
But I wuv g33ks!
that is a lot of coca cola!!! i am a geek. a greek geek. eimai ellinas
Anthropophobia.
*polishes Star Track-type sword*
Who the what, now?
Thems fighting words, missy.
*Skypes Klingons, requests a flotilla of X-wing war birds of prey*
*orders them to use the Swartz*
*flashes all of the above*
*flees while they are stunned*
You flashy-thinged them!
I use supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Its super effective… since it has no effect!
*Unleashes a fleet of coralskippers*
Let me guess, the plant creatures from the New Jedi Order?
You win the nerd point
And you win a bag of nuts
You’re my boyfriend? I didn’t know you were on this site!
WTH?? Why hasn’t this person RECYCLED all of those bottles???? LOL Apparently they are single.
I presume it’s a nerd fail, because it’s Coke and *not* Mountain Dew empties piled up in front of his Marvel bedsheet curtains?
coke is better than mountain dew
liar this is my room
Who would throw a working computer on the rubbish dump?
lolwut?
Obvious nerd fail. I mean who still uses a CRT monitor?
- @ supermatt -
Those who care about contrast ratios and color depth and higher refresh rates. CRT monitors can scale resolutions better than an LCD – but this is changing.
You’ll find most graphics designers prefer CRT monitors over LCD panels.
Dude, that is to much nerd win to belong on Failblog.
Hmm, so this guy is a graphics designer, eh? Never would have guessed from the mountain of coke bottles in the background.
Well if it was Mountain Dew it’d be a programmer
also, programmers use LCD screens cuz they’re easier on the eyes, which is important if you are going to be staring at it for 14 hours a day
It’s almost like that Warhol painting with the soup cans. There’s a critical mass beyond which not cleaning up requires more effort than cleaning up.
He must have it cranked up really high if there’s no flicker. CRTs photograph like crap.
even worse, who uses windows O.o
all the smart people have moved to Linux
No, only people who THINK they are so smart (S-M-R-T!) move to Linux. But in reality they are just a bunch of fat and stupid nerds.
uhh dude theres a LCD next to it.
seeing theres a PS2 game and he is running windows xp its just an old pic
and it’s Final Fantasy X, which came out in 2001.
Star Track!!?!!
You mind your place, mister, or you’ll be wearing concrete galoshes.
“You mean… cement overshoes?”
That mess is not a nerd fail…it’s a disgusting slob/ I prefer my own company to that of any other living creature fail.
Not really a nerd fail – it should be Mountain Dew.
Hahahahaha! The first one happened in the town I live in. I never even heard about it! That. Is. Hilarious!
*quietly puts out recycling bin for plastic bottles and trash can next to desk*
Please put the stupid guy on the bike thing at the END of the video. We don’t want to watch it.
or hear it!
I agree about putting it at the end, but don’t mute it!
And display the witty comment longer!
Wow… Someone has no life… That desk is ridiculous.
Why would you spend that much time wasting your life away on a freaking computer. That person has no life…
And yet here we sit, talking about it.
Since people like you shun nerds away from humans if we decide to go outside, so we decided staying inside was better.
trek, track sounds the same to me…
Fail times two when he brings a girl (?) and she sees those sweet bedsheets.
Now that is a darn shame! lol!
That is indeed a fail. Final Fantasy X? Really?
The atrocity is that the supposed “nerd” is still using CRT’s and not flat panel monitors…
did it ever hit you that this picture might be from a few years ago, and that’s why he has CRT monitors and FFX?
FFX is still loved by certain morons all over. They should’ve stopped at VI. As for the CRT monitor, once again, people have preferences.
And even if this was taken a few years back, do you see ANY indication that the individual who lives here would have gone outside since?
FFVII
coke addict?
It saddens me to see a Bauhaus CD on that desk…
What happened to the goth kids? How have they come to this!?
The Best Buy one is funny, but in their defense that case was probably on a different piece of software that they would offer to install previously.
The real fail would be the idiot customer asking “how much to install this?”
In all actuality, Xbox 360 does allow installing games to the hard drive to reduce load times, energy consumption, and noise.
Touche Officer
portion size of food fail
nub
It would be a win if only he was eating with chopsticks…but alas. A fork. Details, my friends, details.
It’s Star TREK.
Oh, sorry, that was the fail. I think I just failed
Look at all those cola cans lol.Say goodbye to your teeth and hello to expensive and painful dental work.Have fun with that!
bottles bro, bottles
I have to wonder whether the desk in the photo belongs to the submitter? I get sad just thinking about it.
What a life. I see that, and I think “this is why you’re fat.”
Geek Squad one isn’t fail… you can clearly tell it’s on the plastic security case, not the game, and those get reused over and over and over again for many different things.
I agree with wmike145; kinda halfway chuckleworthy to think about but the real fail would be if someone actually thought that was necessary.
Seriously, huge fail! Nerds drink Mt. Dew, not Coke!
Oh I get it. Its a joke saying that whatever the ad is on, that is what they are advertising to install.
Ha ha. Ha. Ha ha ha. Ha.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a mouse around that computer that had nothing to do with electronics.
How is this a Nerd fail? This is da win! Ouch – damn forks…
OMG! That’s my son’s room!
Yes, Jeremy, . . . THIS MEANS YOU!!
There’s klingons on the starbord bow, starbord bow, starbord bow
*sings*
On the plus side, that dude has “Incredible Hulk” curtains.
Win.
coke madness
what a looser
I am surprised that no one has noticed the ancient floppy disc sitting on the desk. I can’t tell which game that is, but PS2 came out in 2000 so this picture could be 10 years old. I am pretty sure that floppies went out a long time before that.
…Final Fantasy X…..
i’m not proud that i can spot that i just used to work for GAME.
anyway, it’s the badass Marvel curtains in the background i’m after
WOW, the female anchor in that star trek video is a chick I went to high school with …
Obvious nerd fail. I mean who still uses a CRT monitor?
Failblog fail. The “sword” in the video, although not a sword, is a close combat weapon _from_ Star Trek.
Diabeetus Win!
Silly nerd, doesnt he know French Press coffee is the new nerd fuel?
I have that chair.
I dunno about the second one, Steam can be quite a pain.
haha video = win. I live in Colorado Springs and caught that on the news. Hilarious.
Can you imagine how many farts have melted that poor pleather chair.
That last one has to be WoW. WoW creates piles to the right. Other games do also create piles but typically the piles are different – piles to the left, piles to the front, piles under, etc, but the trademark of WoW is piles to the RIGHT.
hey, who took a pic of my bedroom?
EPIC FAIL!! He actually plays FFX.
This is probably my friend’s bedroom after one day of substituting his heavy caffeine energy drinks for coca cola.
Well at least the nerd listens to good music. Can see a Bauhaus CD amongst the Chinese foooood.
Looks Like an episode of hoarders
Question : This might be stupid of me but does anyone else notice that whenever theres a video posted on failblog theres a chosen comment at the end? Why are the chosen comments never remotely funny. Sorry if I worded this bad.
You see, me, being a total clean freak, was grossed out by this gigantic mess… That is, until I saw the Bauhaus CD. Then I was just turned on, because all I could think about was Peter Murphy ;}
That last picture…. you know that guy plays wow. no doubt about it.
The same way that there is no doubt about you being an idiot for using stereotypes?
this is called dedication to true hard core gamer life!
Didn’t sound like he said “track,” just “trek” with a weird inflection that made it sound different.
Final Fantasy X FTW
agreed
this is more of a nerd/geek win than anything, showing the utterly complete devotion to geekdom!!
lol.. i see Final Fantasy X!!!
It’s like the Where’s Waldo from hell. Also, is that a 5 1/4″ disk hiding conspicuously underneath that blue comb? If so, automatic WIN.
that fat computer screen looks like on of those cardboard ones in the stores
A life. this guy needs to get one… Also I have the same chair.
