NERDSCAPE for Kevin Hearne's Contest

Current Music:
Final Boss - MC Frontalot
Kevin Hearne is having a contest over at his blog for a signed copy of his first book Hounded.

You can either do a Nerdscape (It’s a digital photo of 1) a book 2) an action figure and 3) junk food) or a Beerscape (beer and food).


title or description





In my Nerdscape we see Kimahri playing World of Warcraft as his guild's GM (not to be mistaken for the other
GM). His guild is named
Bad Wolf. Out front of his laptop is a cope of
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on DVD and a copy of The Sword of Truth: Faith of the Fallen. Why those two? Well The Two Tower's Battle of Helm's Deep (Battle of the Hornburg) is one of my favorites and Kahlan is just phenomenal at pulling her soldier's asses out of the fire. Great inspiration for a GM leading a raid in WoW. Off to the side my stuffed Jackalope from the birthplace of the Jackalope myth (Douglas, Wyoming) is rocking out to MC Frontalots' song "Last Boss" (MC Frontalot is the godfather of Nerdcore Hip Hop) getting himself pumped up for downing the bosses in the WoW raid.




This Youtube copy seems like a bad copy >.> seriously check out his stuff it is great.



Behind Kimahri on the 'wall' are two maps. One is a map of Middle-earth with the Eye of Sauron drawn on it. The other one is a map of The Midlands from SoT with a X on the Old World. There is also a fan made poster for Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series) and one for Dumbledore's Army based on the Uncle Sam poster. On the laptop there are two stickers. One is Calvin and Hobbes spoof of Han Solo and Chewie on a mini Millennium Falcon and a spoof on the USPS logo with a Owl Post of Hogwarts.

Sadly I did not include a solid junk food but, if you are a geek/nerd/gamer I think you will agree that you gulp, glug and bleed Mt. Dew.




I think I over did it a lil and yet missed the solid food part. lol When I think nerd food I think what all WoW players joke about which is Mt. Dew and Hotpockets and since I had no Hotpockets ready to use I just used the Mt. Dew. I honestly had a blast with this and it was way fun. Winning would be beyond Uberly awesome but this was fun none the less. And yes I did over do the links in the post but that is for the people that don't quiet get all the things in the pic.

Either way I'm excited to grab a copy of Hounded when it comes out. :D
