Penny Arcade Theme Lyrics

I hit the L shift-O to the quote and then dollar
If you know the dir of the nerdcore rhyme, you holla

nerd-ho! warm the mic up (yo)
we ?bout to strike up
this band of nebbishes
who cultivate nebulous fetishes
the FPS, RPG or MMPOG,
any obsession to blather over by blog
or BBS. Step and possess, hone thy geekishness
your frame rate and frags to date both impress
and yes, your affinity for a certain site of some amusement
(a classically adorned parlor of fun where you let loose pent-
up cent pieces to partake of flicker-dramas)
gets you branded a sniper bitch or rocket mama-
humper, (oh no!) they said you?re cheating
but with coins in hand you got more game than wil wheaton

when's this MC ?bout to get funny? I'm losing patience.
wanna know how the pants contain one wang & two next stations
and a tandy hole, where he plays whack-a-mole with the toilet paper
frontalot can rock the PA song at the lowest common denominator
not as a hater of culture or lacker in class
but an expert at math
accounting how the Penny Arcade 0//nZz j00r aZz.

(that is the way we play...)

Hmm. What do ye s'pose lO"$ is, or what directory of nerdcore he's talking about?

re: lO "$

On the ol' Commodore 64 (the first machine I really discovered video games on), to get a directory listing, you'd type

load "$",8

Commands could be shortened by typing the first letter, then shifting the second letter, thus:

lO "$",8

It's extra-nerdalicious!

A fitting Nerdcore tribute to the ultimate gamer culture staple.

Wow, I remember that and it kills me I didn't catch on right away. I remember ours was Load "$",8,1 for some reason. I think the 1 had to do with loading from a disk drive. Ahh, I was like 6 when I taught myself how to use our C64 and it seemed so easy to me but looking back it was pretty involved. Memories.

Additionally, "dir" refers to "directory". He's basically saying, if you know the location of the rhymes, holler.
