John Reviews Twilight and New Moon

In which John discusses Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga in both its book and film form, discussing the Twilight phenomenon in a way that will surely anger both Twihards and the series' detractors, thus infuriating everyone and pleasing no one. Also discussed: vampires; Edward Cullen, his hotness; Jacob Black, his torso; romantic relationships, why adults shouldn't have them with teenagers; reading; books; and true love, a beautiful lie.

Dailybooth Awesomeness!

Later tonight there will be a special Friday video by Hank, but while we wait, I'd like to take a few moments of your time to talk about the joy that is FakeJohnGreen. It is, without doubt, the funniest thing in the history of Nerdfighteria and Dailybooth. Just look at these pics...

John's true

Final Picture Blog.

Hey Nerdfighters!

This is probably going to be my last picture blog here on the Ning. The Ningmaster applications are coming in, and I'll be able to find someone suitable for every position. I hope to get the picking done on Saturday. Then I can brief the new Ningmasters and get all of them up and running by the end of next week. So now, for the final time, I present you this week's pictures:

LOOKING FOR NEW NINGMASTERS! (And a special Friday video on a Saturday)

Senior Executive Ningmaster¹. I like that title. :) I just hope I can live up to the expectation. Some of you have noticed that it's been over six months since the Ningmasters were appointed. And you may remember that the original idea was to replace (at least some) Ningmasters every three months. But, as John pointed out in the video above, they have been "failing so epicly"² at stuff. That's why they decided to offer me the position of Se… Continue

Huge Picture Blog!

Hi Nerdfighters!

It's been God-knows-how-many weeks since I blogged, and I don't really have an excuse. I'm just terrible with deadlines, even more when I'm not particularly enjoying stuff. Not to say that I don't enjoy watching pictures and talking about them, because I do. But writing this blog is always a surprising amount of html and copying and pasting picture links and picture locations and D

Pictures!

So I didn't get round to blogging last week. It was late (GMT+2) and I was going to blog. But then news surfaced that Michael Jackson has suffered a cardiac arrest, followed some time later by the news that he had passed away. The internet came to a halt, sites crashing because of the traffic. It was a weird evening, to say the least. And blogging about pictures just didn't come to mind anymore.
How will the world manage without Michael Jackson? I do… Continue

Pictures!

It's picture time!

I finished my exams, and now I'm free at last! (At least for a month and a half or so, after which I'll have to start studying for the exams I'll have to retake.)
But anyway, again it's been two weeks since I blogged about pictures, so without further ado:

Blogging again!

Good evening, Nerdfighters!

It's been a while since I last blogged. (Well, not really, I blogged back on monday. Which reminds me, sorry for assuming anything, Amber.)
But anyway, it's been two weeks since I last blogged about pictures, so let's not waste any more time.

Evening the odds.

DFTBA Records is handing out missions. The first mission is to get as many people as possible to sign up for the DFTBA mailing list. Whoever gets the most people to join by the end of the week (June 6th) will win a free iPod Shuffle preloaded with DFTBA Records music! Awesome! Read more about it HERE. While I do think it's a good idea to feature the DFTBA Records Stree… Continue

Redesign, Spam and Pictures...

Hello, Nerdfighters!
It's been another busy week. Last weekend, Hank gave the Ning a fresh look. It still needs improving though, so if you have any suggestions, we'd love to hear it. Also, if you run into bugs of any kind, do tell.
Things that we're aware of/working on:
-The wiki doesn't work very well.
-The "report" and "feedback" forms are unreadable because of the red banner in the background.
-The "NF Projects", "Reading", "… Continue

What would you do with a Poe bust? (And other pictures)

Hello, Nerdfighters!

Another week has come and gone. Time really flies. Only two more weeks before I have exams. I'm not sure whether I'll be blogging every week during the exams, but I'm sure I'll manage to blog at least once or twice in those three weeks. Anyway, on with the pictures!

Birthday pictures!

So this blog post will be a bit useless. As I am sure you have all seen, I featured birthday pictures for Hank on Tuesday. Obviously, I'm not going to feature other pictures this week because 1) these pictures are awesome and 2) it's much, much easier for me. :) The pictures speak pretty much for themselves :) (Enjoy the fancy mosaic thingy)

Too Tired To Think of a Title Today...

Hello, Nerdfighters!

It's Thursday again! The end of the school year is approaching. My schedules are messed up and I have loads of work, but tomorrow is Labour Day (which we ironically celebrate by taking the day off) so I found time to feature images this week.
And here they are!

And talking about pictures...

Good evening, Nerdfighters!

Another Thursday has arrived and this week I reached the end of the archives. I found more images than I will feature this week, so I'll have plenty for next week. The week after that will become more difficult.
I'm still a bit sick, but I'm almost done taking antibiotics.
Anyway, on with the show!

Picturific!

Good evening, Nerdfighters!

As, I'm sure, you're all aware, it is Thursday which means I have to blog about pictures. I've been a bit ill lately, but nothing is going to stop me from Ningmaster-blogging. (Not even if I have to do it at 3 am).
A lot of DFTBA visualisations popped up this week after Hank asked for them. I decided that, seeing as Hank was going to use the best ones in his 'project' anyway, I don't really have to feature them.… Continue

Happy Easter!

Greetings fellow Nerdfighters!

Once again it's time for pictures. I'm not sure what happened this week because I spent a couple of days in London with loads of sunshine and little internet, and I'm not completely up to date yet. And this evening, when I remembered that I had to blog, John decided to do a live show. And then when John had finished and I was looking through images, Hank decided to do a live show...
Can't a Ningmaster work in… Continue

DFTBA Pictures (Didn't Forget To Blog About ~)

Hello Nerdfighters!

It's Thursday (yet again!), and a lot happened in the past week. John didn't eat any peeps because his doctor told him not to, Hank dressed as Carrie Bradshaw and watched Sex and the City^* and Secret Sister Maureen Johnson successfully started this thing called… Continue

Do I need to draw you a picture?

Good evening!

It's Thursday again, and this week I don't have the excuse of being abroad. :) I could claim that I'm still overwhelmed by the Awesome of last week, but honestly, that has only given me more energy for this stuff. It was bloody Awesome! More about the NEA later in this blog.
Look at me still talking when there's ~~science to do~~ pictures to feature!… Continue
