- incognegro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+114Sounds like someone forgot about the First Rule of Fight Club
- Vill4no, on 10/12/2007, -7/+41What no 360 power supply fights?
- gumby013, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31His name was Robert Paulson.
- chewbaka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21No, this is the Silicon Valley fight club.
Our first rule is everyone out before my parents get home from work. - Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20I think they're trying to stay non-lethal here. Those bricks could knock someone's head off.
- marnaq, on 10/12/2007, -10/+24Second too...
- spyro, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16No matter what people are doing there is always some panzy person whining about how someone could get hurt. I would rather get hurt having fun and goofing off than in a car on my way home which is probably more likely.
I say, FIGHT ON!!!! and maybe add a mat to make the cryers happy. - psylence, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17Anyone else notice they mention martial arts several times, but _all_ of the fighting they do couldn't possibly be any further from a martial art, except maybe Hamster Style?
- Lewisham, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Guy:"[My children] aren't able to understand when to keep going and when to stop..."
Reporter: "Are you?"
[Guy looks bemused].
I love that bit. It's like no-one has ever told him this *might* be a bad idea :) - SlappyMc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14Holy *****, Who knew software engineers were so badass?
seriously, I wouldnt want to get in the ring with any of them. - justinvt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10These dudes suck at fighting which is why its so cool to watch. They almost wanna get hurt and ***** themselves up. Everyone knows nerds have the most anger
- jimmyM, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12the guy that does the jump off the wall, that guy, he may be the coolest guy i have ever seen. jesus, who would try such an absurd move as that? i worship that guy.
- newmind, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14I wonder if they take requests. I'd love to see Ballmer in a hello kitty toilet seat match. :)
- tylerni7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I think if I was fighting a short Korean(?) software engineer in a spongebob shirt I would die laughing (now that we know that you can...)
- Overdose, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8But isn't their risk for any extreme activity? It is inevitable unless they want us cooped up at home.
- jimmyM, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10when i read the description i thought those guys were gonna be chumps. but they rule. those dudes are ***** awesome.
- devoinregress, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9If they are going to do something other than raw fist fighting then they need some Segway jousting. But it would be a lot more hardcore if they followed the rules and beat themselves up in front of their bosses.
- locojones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You obviously didn't see the real silicon valley fight club, which most likely goes more like this:
1) Nerd A announced intention to attack Nerd B.
2) Nerd A rolls 2d20 to hit.
3) Nerd A rolls 27, checks chart, scores a hit, rolling again to see which body part.
4) Nerd B rolls 2d20 to dodge, calling out bonus dodge stats on his boots of speed.
5) Nerd B rolls a 7, fails to dodge.
6) Nerd A rolls 2d6 x 10 for damage, noting his +5 to melee skill.
7) Nerd B takes 70 hit points in damage and is knocked out for 1d6 rounds.
8) Nerd C makes a Taco Bell and Mountain Dew run. - crapiolio, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9So this is why video game is violent.
- newmind, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Gates would get his ass kicked in that match up. Somebody needs to make a flash game out of this. Ballmer would finish opponents off with his "Chair Decapitation Combo". Sergey Brin could cause opponents to explode with his "Smirk of Death".
- rudolphdude, on 10/12/2007, -7/+11Dude I am thinking no chicks to be gotten, call me crazy.
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Steve Ballmer with his chairs!!!
- incognegro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention or correction of injuries or disorders of the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints, and ligaments. You heard the "ped" and assumed he works on feet....
- jimmyM, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8also the guy in the yellow shirt who is dropping nuclear elbows an the guy who gave up, that guy kicks ass too. this is the best thing ever on digg.
- fyngyrz, on 10/12/2007, -9/+12This is evolution at work. A beautiful thing. While they fight, the smart males (and females) can pick up their chicks. This is even better than spectator sports, America's previous #1 method for making the girlfriend or wife go hunting for a better situation. :)
- sapo916, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Because its software engineers in the Silicon Valley.
- tastypastry, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8That doctor saying that someone could seriously get hurt seemed like a pussy. You can get seriously hurt riding a frickin bike. Its their choice to fight, they know the consequences.
- Danarchy24, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wonder if Oprah would approve of the use of her magazine? I wonder which one of those guys has the copies of O magazine.
- alabare, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Clearly the best Dugg story on digg.com, lol. This made my weekend!
- pete10203, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3lives would be in jeopardy.
- JeffD, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@overdose
And cooped up at home is exactly where they want us. That way were sitting on the couch watching TV and acting like good little consumers. - DarthTurducken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2These guys obviously don't have any cage fighting or bow hunting skills.
- simpletech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3WOZ should join and try out those lasers!
- Galaeron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2oh ***** did you guys check out the one dude who tried to run off the wall and totally got owned by the floor?!
This ***** is great, neone wanna start up a Norfolk chapter? - Overdose, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8Martial arts is a lot different in real combat situations. They are not sparring or practicing in a dojo where you have rules.
- Galaeron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2sad part is I actually got that lol
- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7The weapons they use are such typical things that the stereotypical nerd would use. Plastic knives? Oprah magazines? Ha.
- solidcube, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Purposeless"... this is what kali fighting looks like-- a couple of these guys are doing that, and the lines on the floor are Kali footwork patterns. They definitely do know what they're doing. Real fights, and fights that are a close approximation of reality, don't look nice and smooth and choreographed. They look like this.
- Meshyf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is why I don't watch the news. Its entertaining but holy crap is that pointless broadcasting. It might as well be the Web Junk 2.0 show instead of the Channel five news.
- history1me, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I know one of the guys in the video. He's a very gentle cool guy that does screama? Philippino knife fighting. I'm taller than him by a foot but I would never mess with him.
However, he's not a software programer nor in the tech field. So, I don't think all those guys are "software" or techie guys. - jadacyrus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What implications is this going to bring with their current or future employers, now that their faces are all over the web. One could possibly argue that behavior like that suggests a violent streak and that might possibly hinder their business life. They definitly should've never broken rule number 1 of fight club.
But yeah the video was pretty ***** awesome. - Purposeless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That is got to be some of the worst fighting I have ever seen! ++dig for nerds who think they're fighters!
- lollerskates, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, it would suck to have Steve Ballmer find out and join in with a chair or something. Even worse if one of those guys works for Google.
- Burns, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5You have no idea...
- ShaolinTiger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'd mess em all up.
- superdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hahaha that was pathetic in the plastic knife video! they pranced about for a few minutes and then when one guy finally got kicked in the stomach they stopped. not very fight clubbish right there.
oh, but dugg, that was funny - neverender, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2all that's it is missing is the "lightning bolt lighting bolt"
- Funfetus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I saw a couple of legit jiu-jitsu moves, like one guy taking another guy's back with his hooks in, working for a choke. And in the extended cookie-sheet footage, one guys gets a reasonably effective double-leg. But yeah, mostly wild swinging.
They need to get some mats and some better protective equipment. I train muay thai and brazilian jiu-jitsu, so I'm no stranger to an ass-kicking, but I wouldn't do it without proper equipment unless I had to. Still, I understand the lure. That ***** is fun. - JimXugle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think these guys are a few letters short of a string variable.
- johnroth, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Thats Spongebob ***** was fiesty!
