  • I typed DFTBA into the AppStore,but I cant find it :(

  • The Yeti has a tumblr, my life is complete!

  • I have that poster

  • Please tell me you went to Blizzcon? It was epic!

  • I actually can't believe it. I was THERE at the convention center. I wish I'd seen you.

  • Carrying the book around school, it draws a lot of attention. When I show them that it's signed, they are even more impressed.

  • Comment removed

  • Well honestly I love the simplicity of the cover. I just think its nice, and it definately has that sort of timeless quality to it, and again as you say here, it is bold. if I didn't know what it was, and saw the cover in a shop. I would pick it up because its different, its unique. I have the current English edition of Looking for Alaska (the one with the heart under water), and everyone who I have shown it too, loves the cover, because it is different.

  • I don't like the cover. Too simple. There's nothing really going on.

  • dude, my teacher totally has that exact same hawaiian shirt.

  • "I'm being zerg rushed" was the funniest thing I've heard in a while.

  • He said good morning what? John?

  • *commence thick accent* Film Me! I'm at Blizzcon and in a limo!

    .... Thank you, funny Captain Obvious Blizzard lover.

    You made my day :)

  • I love how Hank and John always mention how people are staring at them when they film outside, but they shrug it off because they're boss like that (:

  • Hank, there's a conference center in Columbus, GA in the Riverpark Campus of Columbus State University that would be great for a future VidCon. It has been used as the statewide Thespian Conference gathering for several years, so you know it has housed awesomeness.

  • To be honest, I like john's book cover. It's not like, totally amazing, but that's just personal preference. It's a lot better than a book with random genericness all around. You know the ones.

    Objects on the cover that look like they're supposed to symbolize stuff but don't.

    Generics teenagers- not even all of them, just arms or hair.

    A girl in a dramatic dress and dim ligthing. always makes me think "Ew. Another vampire book."

    Or more feet for John's books.

  • nice poster

  • ohmyshitbeard

  • OMG I have that shirt O.o;;

  • yogurt day on 2.11 :D

  • At work, our brain crack is diet coke. Although, we don't throw cans at each other. We just purchase them out of the vending machines. ;)

  • FILM ME, IM AT BILZZCON IN A LIMO

  • When the guy walked by yelling "Selama ashala'nore!" you should have responded "Balamore shanal!"

    That would have made me very happy.

  • I've discovered that whenever I pause one of Hank's videos, that he always has the oddest of expressions.

  • Thumbs up If you Looked up John and Hank's Awesome Adventure

  • Heyy! My boyfriend done that for me, only cost me £2.50 xD

  • I'm probably standing for everything that the vlogbrothers wouldn't appreciate about being well known, but I just don't know how that group of people passed Hank and react in some way. >__> Like idk "We are next to an amazing human being right now. And he's filming a video for other amazing human beings to watch!"

  • please lose the beard, i beg i beg i beg

  • @whatstheverdict It's for Halloween, so monday will probably be the last time we see it :D

  • "Film me! I'm at BlizzCon and in a Limo!" Good lord, lol.

  • The dude abides...

  • .....adam savage... that is all.

  • I always dress poorly.

  • woooo i have that poster behind him ahahah

  • Hah.

  • I think it's not that the cover is particularly bad just that it's being made such a big deal of. It's an okay cover. Just not something I'd go on a rant about o.O sure the content shall be awesome though.

  • beard! coolness!

  • Can u ask them to put/remake the DFTBA game on the android market maybe?? I REALLY NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!!! PLEASE!!!!

  • Holy Shit! I just realized that JOHN wrote Looking for Alaska! My sister showed me that book months ago and I loved it, and I've only started watching the vlogbrothers. ALL THE PIECES OF FIT! Definitely going to buy the fault in our stars!

  • @AlwaysRi congratulations, you're on your way to becoming a full-fledged nerdfighter!!! :D

  • @FlargTheKitty thanks! :D

  • @AlwaysRi I kind of had the same epiphany. I read Looking for Alaska a week ago, and loved it, but I've been watching the VlogBrothers for almost a year.

    I didn't realize it was THIS John Green until I saw him in the back of the book. xD

  • That goatee makes you look bad-ass and sexy.

  • aaargl... beard! that was a shock :D

  • Press 3 for "Poop shooting Nintendo" =P

  • Wait, you grew a goatee and were in Anaheim this past week?? I KNEW I SAW YOU AT DOWNTOWN DISNEY!!! :D

  • you got zerg rushed

  • -sigh-

    Hank Green

    all at blizzcon. geez. So much awesome in one place.

    I wish i could have gone. alas....school is important.

  • I read the blog posts for why they think I should like the cover but honestly you cant say something to make me suddenly like a cover I don't find visually appealling. It's not that its a simple, bold and graphic cover, I often quite like that. I think it has to do with the way the clouds are just blobbed in the middle. maybe if they were shifted a little; the black one a little more to one side than the white so that they touched the edge a bit I dont know, I dont hate it. I just dont like it

  • @kaleidostar88 Cool story bro. Tell it again.

  • hullo Hank!...................just re-watching this and waiting for today's vlog. :( DFTV Hank (don't forget to vlog)

  • The only thing that got me about the cover was that it had no stars. Other than that I think it's a really nice cover.

  • Hank which glasses !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • I think the cover is gorgeous. People who don't like it are just crazy.

  • Hank is totes right. That is a book cover that I could see remaining relevant in the future. Perfect formula for a timeless classic. :)

  • EVIL ALTERNATE DIMENSION HANK HAS TAKEN OVER.

    .... and I don't hate it.

  • BEARD!

  • yeah...i was a bit disappointed by the TFiOS cover...

    but that dude in a limo was just hilarious.

  • We need awesome adventures on android please!

  • @jmthetank so true. i just love the non-pandering approach.

  • Just a random question: What's the zit's name? I've been wondering ever since you asked for suggestions!

  • I saw the text for your Vlog on Luke's channel

  • After reading both blogs about the TFIOS cover, my opinion hasn't changed, and I'm slightly disappointed.

    The most important thing about a book cover is that it make a passerby want to read it, a fact that was glossed over and ignored so far. If I saw TFIOS looking like this, and didn't know it was John's book, I would ignore it. It's a boring cover, unpleasant colors, and something you'd see on a child's book. No thanks. It'll still be a prized part of my library, but only despite the cover.

  • AHHH!!! Hank Green in my Anaheim!

  • Damn the app is only for the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. I dont have any of those, urgh now I'm depressed.

  • what a coincidence, tomorrow is dress tacky day so ill do it for my school and john!

  • OMG YES! MARVEL POSTER!! Got the same one ;)

  • HANK!

    Now, I'm sure we're ALL wondering this by now, and maybe you end up telling us in THIS VIDEO (which I am currently buffering due to a bad internet connection,) BUT ANYWAY! What is your Halloween costume idea? Am I psychic and is it Gordon Freeman, or is it Steve Jobs? Because EITHER ONE OF THOSE WOULD BE AMAZING OH MY GOBBLEDYGOOK. And now, according to this spell check, I know how to spell the word "gobbledygook".

    PLEASE REPLY TO MEEE.

    (Sorry that I'm so needy XD)

    DFTBA,

    Alan~

  • my dad has that shirt.

  • So.... I don't know if anyone else realizes this, but the 23rd was National Mole day. Mole as in 6.02 x 10 to the 23rd AMU Mole, and I think it would be great if Hank wrote a song for Mole day... Just a thought.

  • @homestar1996 i have chemistry and we celebrated mole day and we had cake and made our teacher gifts, and one of my classmates did in fact write a song about mole day

  • @homestar1996 I just learned about Moles today. :D

  • @MaruOhashi Yay for moles!!! :D

  • @homestar1996 Yup! :D

  • Hank, I has same poster :o

    

  • I dont mean to say that the cover is bad, because It's up to personal opinion. I personally am not too fond of it, but that doesnt take anything away from the book itself. I'm just slightly insulted that in the blog posts you suggested it's basically saying "you should like this cover" well i frankly don't, and it's not about it being too simple, i study history of art, I love Rothko. The cover is just not appealing to me.

  • Yay! Anaheim is my home town!

  • yay

    

  • You are far braver than me.

  • flower shirt hank? really?! i mean i understand john's fashion situation but not you too!! haha

  • 4 glasses adjustments.

  • I don't need a curator to tell me that bad typography is unclear typography that seems to say "the fault in your stars"

  • why is stubble so sexy looking when it feels like kissing sandpaper. It doesn't make any sense. What is wrong with you, brain, why do you seek out discomfort.

  • wow, way to get defensive about Jons' book cover. obviously beardy Hank = angry Hank.

  • You lucky son of a duck. You got to go to BlizzCon.

    Well, okay, you got to get NEAR BlizzCon.

    Can you tell us more about the Mists of Pandaria?! <=D

  • I like the cove.r

  • 2:41 is now a meme!

  • Zerg rush = win :)

  • Couldn't stop looking at Hank's giant pimple.

  • I can't even wait for the fault in our stars to come out.

  • This video has a glorious thumbnail.

  • I just thought you should know that im doing an assignment on you and I decided to use this quote “What you should be doing is watching us while you poop. Multi-tasking!”

  • it's just an opinion no need to get angry

  • Is your job just doing things?

  • are you aware of the 'signingpsychosis' blog on tumblr? yah.

  • If the game sells well can you see about porting it to Android.

  • So i DID see you there, i accidentally shouted "JOHN GREEN?!?!?!" at you. I don't think you heard me though.

    :)

  • FILM ME

    I'M AT BLIZZCON AND IN A LIMO

    Watch as this becomes some sort of famous internet quote.

  • @nnHorizon From this point on I'm going to say "Film me, I'm in a limo" randomly all the time.

  • @nnHorizon I like it because it has surprisingly good grammar for a comment shouted from the window of a limo.

  • @nnHorizon PATIENTLY WAITING. *Chinhands.*

  • Holy crap Hank! I saw you there but thought "That can't possibly be him." So I didn't say hi! You should have announced you'd be there!

  • alright, hated the cover at first. but you have reassured me it is THE COVER. happy now^^

  • I LIKE THE HANKLERSTACHE

    KEEP IT PLZ

  • SHAVE YOUR FACE XD

  • The Anaheim Convention Center! I love that place so much.

  • I think Hank is in the process of becoming an evil mastermind. The process will be complete when his facial hair. Those Marvel Superheroes should watch out, he's obviously been studying them.

  • I love love love the cover. By the way.

  • I can see why they chose it as a cover and people have made good arguments saying why it is a good cover. But I still don't like it. Either way I'm very much looking forward to reading it.

  • you took your Zerg rush quite well my friend. LOL

  • "I'm being zerg rushed" SO NERDY.

  • i do online school so i dress badly everyday :-)

  • Lol. Blood Elves.

  • I'm enjoying hank's explorations in facial hair these days haha

  • "Selama Ashal'anore!"

    ...Fuckin blood elves.

  • An epic thing Nerdfighers do without you knowing: PUNISHMENT PARTIES!!!! We are filming us doing all of the punishments which we will compile into a segment of short videos and share with you... eventually.

  • The book cover for TFIOS looks like a 5th grade power point project!

  • Were are your new glasses?!?!?!?!

  • French the Llama! I'm on Youtube on a laptop!

  • I dress poorly all of the time...

  • HANK!! This doesn't have anything to do with the video, but could you make a song about the amino acids? :) I'm totally not expecting anything to come from this comment, but if you saw it, and wrote a song that would help me and my classmates remember the names of the 20 amino acids, it would make my year.

  • @shutyourmouth2

    Excellent idea!

  • I would totally do that.

    Except I where a uniform to school every day D:

  • Get in your PANTS!

  • I'm surprised to hear there was a negative response to the cover, I absolutely loved it, definitely my favorite cover of all John's books.

  • "Im being Zerg rushed....."

    I just crapped my pants laughing.

  • Ok, the cover is definitely bold, but not in a profound or groundbreaking way, in an obnoxious, in your face way. To call it "iconic" and "timeless" is an exaggeration. It's two quirky looking cartoonish cloud thingies. Bold colors were Andy Warhol and Never Mind the Bollocks. I'm not saying this to be mean or hurt your feelings, I'm saying it because I honestly do care about what happens to you and the book and if there's a chance that I'll be heard then I think that it's worth trying.

  • you are LATRONZ (pew pew pew)

  • Are you being Jayne for Halloween? I know you have the hat and now you have grown the facial hair. Just a theory

  • I'M GOING TO VIDCON! :D YAY! SEE YOU THERE!

  • I happen to own that poster.

  • GORDON FREEMAN GOATEE ENGAGE.

  • dude, not even blizzard goes to blizzcon.... yes they do but if they had a choice they wouldn't...

  • FACIAL HAIR - I LIKE IT

  • You had to film him Hank. I mean, he was in blizzcon in a limo.

    Also, to be honest, I found those clothes cool. And I'm being serious, no sarcasm intended!

  • its made by John Adams? thats awesome

  • oh...we were supposed to stop wearing our clothes from signingpsychosis...oops

  • Hey! That guy was at Blizzcon in a limo!

  • I feel like your beard is for Movember, which is an excellent cause.

    But I'm looking forward to December 1st. :)

    I still love you though, Hank, though your beard does rival John's creeper 'stache.

  • Marvel poster!!!! = )

  • KEEP THE BEARD!

  • SHAVE THE BEARD

  • isn't it mass-hypochondria if we all "suffer" signingpsychosis? or is it just solidarity?

  • Who else saw "CONTEMPORARY"??

  • FAVORITE POSTER SO FAR

    

  • @overratedname tis alright my child....tis well.

  • Oh Anaheim, so many memories of Anime Expo...now I feel nostalgic...I'll never be able to go to another convention...or at least it's very unlikely. Sadness.

  • I already dress poorly XD

  • YOU NEED TO SHAVE!!!!! It's gross

  • Hank, are you doing No Shave November?

  • Hello, I'm overratedname, and I am one of the 28 people that have disliked this video as of this writing. I'd like to let you in on why I did, so you don't have to speculate: my finger slipped. I am terribly sorry, and for as long as I take breaths on this Earth, I will make it my vow to never again dislike a vlogbrothers video.

  • @overratedname It will be alright. Here is an e-hug.

  • Did anyone else see that guy in a limo at blizzcon?

  • buy new glasses

  • Sorry Hank, the cover for Fault in Our Stars is an awesome idea.... but it's not the first time it's been done... Penguin Classics released blank covers so you could design your own. They also selected some of these Fan-Created designs and re-released them .

  • I want to get a shirt that just says "I'M AT BLIZZCON IN A LIMO!" Just that. Nothing else.

  • @BentheBassPhish Agreed. Someone at DFTBA, get to work on that shirt.

  • speaking of groups of nerdfighters I recently found out that the people in one of the clubs I'm in at school are almost all nerdfighters. I've been in the club for about 3 years and I just learned that.

  • John and Hank's Excellent Adventure on Android plz???

  • Does anyone think that Hank's attempt to dress badly actually makes him look adorable? I love that vintage Hawaiian shirt!!

  • 0:15...Good Lord! I have those same pants!

    Hank stole my pants! :o0

  • Sufferating IS a word -- because Hank said so! :)

  • Lovin' the facial hair, Hank! :)

  • omg. omg omg. HANK WAS AT BLIZZCON??? At the same time as me- and I didn't see him?!?

    So sad. D;

  • Holy crap. He filmed me!

  • im so mad i didnt know he was at blizz-con AMG the hotel i was in was gonna charge us 10$ a day for wifi, i opted for the horde fuzzy blanket instead

  • the goatee looks good on you Hank
