I want to thank Uncle Yo for coming up with the Otaku National Anthem, something we live by at OOC.
We are the geek, without us pop culture is obsolete. We are the geek, hardcore gaming is all we seek. We are the geek, praise the Otaku, those anime freaks. We are the geek, without our dice rolls we’re incomplete. We are the geek: we are underestimated, underpaid and under-medicated.
All kids side with either Sith or Jedi.
Get your sci-fi fling on from Wookie to Klingon.
Light sabers and photon torpedoes ready to go and give a lickin
‘Till it ends up parodied on Robot Chicken.
Live long and prosper, run your course
When geeks die they enter the Force.
We don’t fear invasions from the Martians or the Borg
Because these aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
From pwning noobs, woot dings, leet speak button-mashing, Rock Band thrashing.
From the roots of Nintendo to Mario, to Sega Genesis, one nation under Playstation.
We’ve had our iddy-bitty Wii Mii’s on the TV, see?
Get a load of the invincibility cheat code – it ain’t game over ‘till epic fail – you’ve lost the game.
No evasion of the zombie invasion, we’ve had our training from Left 4 Dead Rising, that is a must, and all your Grand Theft Auto are belong to us.
MMO’s like Everquest, oh WOW, cross my Halo, hope to die
Unless you get shanked by the Team Fortress Spy.
Magical school girls and harems are shojos, Shonens will ever increase.
Mechas will wreck us and ninjas will win ya, for everyone else there is Bleach.
Naruto pins on their backpacks
Manga buttons on our cat-ear hats.
From Project A-ko to Xenogears, Vampire Hunter D Grayman, Darker Than Black Lagoon, from Trigun to Sailor Moon. Let them glomp, let them cosplay, let them have their yaoi schoolboys and fan dubs, Fansubs, fanfics, fan letters for worse or better.
Every Winter-een Mas Day, we LARP, tabletop role-play.
Earning GP, HP and XP, drowning in our mana pools with 2nd edition old school rules.
It’s D&D: level up or shut up.
Spell-casters and tanks, clerics and rogues adding up skill ranks.
If you’re not gonna enjoy yourself, don’t get out of bed.
If you won’t live your dreams, you’re better off dead.
You bet we own the Internet. No longer freaks
No longer meek
But each unique
In their own way sheik
We cannot be beat:
We are the Geek!
