🤮UNDERSTANDING THE NERD: THE COMPLETE SERIES

We went looking for answers. Instead, we found a bunch of nerds willingly talking into a microphone made from a stick of RAM.

Every interview. Every questionable conversation. All the nerd behavior in one video.

Welcome to GadgetBoy ARENA, Columbia’s #1 video game tournament spot!

Stay tuned for bloopers at the end and there may be an Easter egg......

Got an idea for a tournament? shooters, Smash, retro games, or something completely unhinged? DM us or give us a call! We're always looking for new events and collaborations.

Oh, and we fix your broken crap too.

Phones, computers, laptops, tablets, game consoles, cracked screens, diagnostics, software issues, data transfers, and more.

GadgetBoy: We fix your tech and give nerds a place to fight over pixels.

Thanks to everyone who participated in Understanding the Nerd. This documentary was an absolute blast to make.

Stay nerdy, Columbia. We're just getting started.

💅UNDERSTANDING THE NERD: EPISODE 4

Our groundbreaking investigation comes to a disturbing conclusion. This time, the man behind Cola Breakers takes over the interviews, giving us a rare glimpse into what happens when the nerds begin studying their own species.

We also witness the crowning of our Beyblade champion. One nerd rises above the rest. Society remains unchanged.

All happening at GadgetBoy ARENA, Columbia's #1 spot for video game tournaments and competitive nerd behavior.

Oh, and we repair tech too.

FINAL SCIENTIFIC QUESTION: Is winning a Beyblade tournament something you put on a résumé, or something you hide from your family? Let us know in the comments.

This concludes Understanding the Nerd. Thank you for participating in this completely unnecessary research.

🚿UNDERSTANDING THE NERD: EPISODE 3

Our investigation continues as Fox ventures deeper into the natural habitat of the common nerd. This time, we're interviewing Beyblade enthusiasts in the wild, studying their strange rituals and trying to understand why grown adults are screaming at spinning plastic.

All filmed at GadgetBoy ARENA, Columbia's #1 spot for video game tournaments and questionable competitive behavior.

SCIENTIFIC QUESTION: Are Beyblade players misunderstood athletes or just nerds with aggressive fidget spinners? Defend your species in the comments.

Stay tuned for Part 4. We're dangerously close to understanding absolutely nothing.

🧃UNDERSTANDING THE NERD: PART 2

The investigation continues, nerds. We're diving even deeper into the fascinating and mildly concerning world of Beybladers.

Armed with nothing but a microphone connected to a single 1GB stick of RAM, I ventured deeper into the ARENA, where I managed to corner the masterminds behind Brick Box Toys in the GadgetBoy bathroom for a highly questionable interview. No scientists were involved. No actual journalism was conducted. Just two grown men discussing the important things in life.

🫴UNDERSTANDING THE NERD: EPISODE 1

In this groundbreaking four-part documentary, we venture deep into the natural habitat of the common nerd to study their strange behaviors, questionable social skills, and unhealthy obsession with spinning plastic.

Armed with nothing but a microphone connected to a one gigabyte stick of RAM and absolutely zero qualifications, Fox infiltrates a Beyblade tournament at GadgetBoy ARENA to ask the questions nobody wanted answered.

GadgetBoy ARENA is Columbia's #1 spot for video game tournaments, competitive gaming, and observing nerds in captivity.

IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC QUESTION: Was Fox speaking too close into the microphone, or is the loud, choppy audio simply too much for your fragile ears? Let us know in the comments.

Stay tuned for Part 2.
