Clique involving people in the film, television, video game, comic book industries as well as several geek/nerd personalities. Has been around since the mid-2000s.
Originally exposed by game journo Nick Monroe (@nickmon1112) on their twitter.
"Nerd Poker is a collective of creative individuals from the film, entertainment and game industries who all share a love for video games. Formed in 2006, Nerd Poker began as a group of friends who regularly played games on-line and shared an affinity for identifying progressive entertainment properties. The network has since cultivated a new and unique platform for creative projects, collaboration and business to take place between Hollywood and game creators.
House of Game presented by Nerd Poker will be the first official showcase of its kind that will bring the leading professionals from both Hollywood and video game industries together.
The founding members of Nerd Poker are Kevin Chang, Justin Marks, Ben Fritz and Derek Douglas, with partners Tom Ham, Zach Schiff-Abrams and Ford Gilmore."

It's another leftist rat nest busy trying to shit up entertainment and turn it into a propaganda pulpit.
But remember goy, VIDEO GAMES, nothing to see here, games are not politics, remember that.
Kayden Diaz
So 2007 wasn't really when it all went to shit after all.

2007 was the initiation, 2006 was the preparation.
Nolan Davis
This is effectively their way of setting up an even worse version of Game Journo Pros. But they're all friends and working in different fields, so it's not collusion or groupthink or forcing an agenda! No no! It's different!
Keep an eye on these faggots. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of them each popping up at conventions and expos to preach the same shit.
Blake Morales
I wish some pro poker player would just go there and fleece those SJWs out of all their and the studios they work for's money.
