I’m your nerd host, Chris Hardwick
Nerdist is a place where we nerds come together and share the nerdery that we find. It's also my home to various elements of the Nerdist Empire. You might recognize me from TV. You don't realize that's where you know me from, but it is. You think you went to college with me or I look like your cousin's friend, but that is not the case. At one time or another you stumbled upon me on your moving picture box in such cerebral gems as MTV's "Singled Out" and Noam Chomsky's "Shipmates." and so much more...
Say hello to the contributors.
Seems like nowadays there’s no bigger joy for me than to get my nerd on listening to the Nerdist Podcast while getting my game on @ the same damn time!
Thanks Hardwick & Crew!
May I be “that guy” for a moment? Good.
OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, is an anxiety disorder, usually based on fear of unfortunate happenstance. “I need to wash my hands with a new bar of soap or else I’ll infect everyone I contact throughout the day,” and “I need to flick the lights on and off 20 times because I need to make sure the house won’t catch fire,” are just a couple of ways in which it may manifest in people. It is a disorder based on fear.
OCPD, or Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, is a personality disorder in which people are focused on orderliness, minutia, and control. This is more in line with what you mentioned in the episode, and it’s a common error to attribute these traits to OCD given the fact that the name of the disorder does fit extremely well.

Can I be a guest so Chris can slobber over me for an hour?
(wakka wakka wakka!)
Really with the creationist jab? You could have picked on the mutual enemy of the jocks getting all the money.
What a great episode! I love them all, but as a geeky dad, this one certainly hit home with me. Already playing video games and Risk with my older child, this opens up a whole new world of nerdy to share with my kids!
Thanks guys
I listened to the GeekDad podcast and I learned about oil patterns in bowling so I wrote about it…. now my brain hurts.

(not really, but it comes with Netscape Navigator so who knows, maybe I could.)
I may have missed something but are the podcasts no longer downloadable off the site? It’s not working for me.
Thanks
