of kids who, with youthful exuberance, love the sport but want to put
their spin on it.

Brian Posehn is a successful and instantly recognizable comedian,
actor, and writer. He also happens to be a giant nerd. That's
partly because he's been obsessed with such things as Dungeons
& Dragons, comic books, and heavy metal since he was a child;
the other part is because he fills out every bit of his 6'7''
frame. Brian's always felt awkward and like a perpetual outsider,
but he found his way through the difficulties of growing up by
escaping into the worlds of Star Wars, D&D, comics, and by
rocking his face off. He was a nerd long before it was cool (and
that didn't help his situation much), but his passions proved time
and again to be the safe haven he needed to persevere and thrive in
a world in which he was far from comfortable. Brian, now
approaching middle age with a wife, child, and thriving career,
still feels like an outsider and is as big a nerd as ever. But
that's okay, because in his five decades of nerdom he's discovered
that the key to happiness is not growing up. You can be a nerd
forever and find success that way because, somehow along the way,
the nerds won. Forever Nerdy is a celebration of growing up nerdy
and different. This isn't Brian's life story, just some bizarre and
hilarious stories from his life, along with a captivating look back
at nearly fifty years of nerd culture. Being a nerd hasn't always
been easy, but somehow this self-hating nerd who suffered from
depression was able to land his dream job, get the girl, and learn
to fit in. Kind of. See how he did it while managing to remain
forever nerdy.
