Jonathan Coulton is the King of Geeks (and essentially, facepunch). He's most famous for writing the ending songs to both Portal and Portal 2, and for his Thing-a-Week, where he released one song every week for an entire year.

You left out his amazing older work, like I Feel Fantastic, Code Monkeys, and others. But yeah, I'm a fan.

I wouldn't go so far to call him king of the geeks, but Joco is so un-appreciated and so talented. He seems like such an approachable guy.

I fuckin' love this guy

[Checkers]

This guy makes me want to shoot myself

I haven't listened to him in a while, but started after first finishing Portal as I assume most people did. I really like The Future Soon and I Feel Fantastic.

He's good but I don't like his geek inspired style but that's just me.

This is like G4 in music form

[Chaotic Lord]

I Like his music, but I like his demos of Dance Soterious Johnsons and Skullcrusher Mountain bettder than the final product, Which are still great.

God damn it I miss that show so much! It inspired me. I wanna become a programmer when I grow up. I've started learning Python and soon I'll get into stuff like Java and C++. I really want to work for a company like Valve or Square Enix, because those two are my all time favorites. Love JoCo and I love Code Monkeys. I need to download every season (which should be easy, I think there were only 2 or 3.)

Music which is based around the singer/songwriter being a geek and singing about geeky things really irks me. A lot of my friends like YouTube artists like that, and I just can't bring myself to appreciate it.

Apparently he has his own band now.
