Now there's a simple little plot line isn't there? You adventurously clicked on a link that somehow led you here and you reached this post. Then you saw that this is (for now), a simple little blog that wants to grow and somehow it not only appealed to that geeky side of you, it seemed quaint enough for you become a regular visitor. "Carpe Diem" you said to yourself, "I'll keep watch just to see how high these guys' geek flag can fly".
Except that like most "Nerds", "Geeks" and other terms blatantly abused by the media, we've been flying it for ages. Whether it's games, movies, literature or TV shows, we've always run under a banner that some people just tend to look the other way in order to not admit it exists. Luckily, in this day and age, society is way more accepting. Perhaps to an intricate degree. You know it is a victory for pop culture everywhere when the Doctor Who 50th anniversary is top worldwide news, The Avengers are recognized worldwide as a new standard of awesome and E! Entertainment covers the San Diego Comic Con.
But we wonder, what happens to that "Nerd" that wants to go beyond standard stereotypes? That Nerdette who wants to match her Dalek dress with designer heels or the geek who studied psychology and wants to psychoanalyze Superman? What about that literature student who wants to find the link between the Divine Comedy by Dante and its meaning in Assassins' Creed and that one guy who wonders every day in his waking life if Katniss Everdeen is a better shot than Green Arrow? That's what we offer you, fellow mouse clicking adventurer. A haven for these things and I promise, no one will judge you (unless you are disrespectful).
So here I extend a hand in welcome to you. Sit down, drink some hot chocolate on us (or tea if that's your thing) and let your imagination fly. We'll be right here waiting for you to click back and visit us again.
