The semi-unintentional Sherlock Tour of London
Written by akajipster
The final episode of the latest season of Sherlock has certainly got the fans in a flurry of theories and debates. I found myself caught up in this madness but to then find that I was organising a side-trip (as it was then) to see the fake Baker Street was maybe taking my obsession to new levels. So now I claim to be reporting for Top G33k as I bring you my semi-unintentional Sherlock Tour of London! (with my fellow Sherlock fan friend 'Gem') in Telly Be the first to comment! Read more... -
To be a geek or a nerd, that is the question
Written by akajipster
A question I am often asked 'are you a geek or a nerd?' I will always answer that I am a geek, or a g33k if I'm trying to really scare people. The following infographic is one of the best descriptions of the whole Geek/Nerd thing I've seen to date, it seems pretty spot on and proves that I am certainly more geek than nerd. Thank you. in Lifestyle Be the first to comment! Read more... -
Sherlock Holmes - GOS - Review
Written by akajipster
The first Sherlock Holmes film, released in 2009, was a big hit at the box office, it brought a very new version of Sherlock Holmes to the masses - some people loved it, whilst others hated it. I was one of the ones who loved it - sure, it does also help that, for me, Downey Jr is the lead actor. in Filums Be the first to comment! Read more... -
I finally did it - Stargate SG1
Written by akajipster
I'm sure a lot of you have done this - there's this brand new tv show on the telly and you think, I'll watch that later, or at some point, it looks good and I think I'll like it but can't watch it right now. You may even buy the DVD box sets in ancipation of when you'll get the time to finally sit down and watch it, it's on your to do list, you have now invested money into this - so one day you will sit down and watch them. That was me with Stargate SG1, I ended up buying 8 seasons on DVD in preperation, that was nearly 8 years ago. Two months ago, I finally sat down and began to watch them. in Telly 1 comment Read more... -
Geek Vs Nerd
Written by parisindy
James Cameron’s Avatar, The New Green Lantern Movie, NBC’s Heroes, ABC’s Lost: heard of them before, haven’t you? Just once or twice? The fact is unless you are living under a rock, you have heard of them. (But if you do indeed live under a rock,that’s okay too!) All those shows are what I like to refer to as ‘Mainstream Geek’. Okay, you may be wondering “Am I a Geek?” Are there different types of Geeks? Well let’s refer to the gods of Wiki once more, shall we? in Lifestyle Be the first to comment! Read more... -
Gaming and the Big Bang Theory
Written by parisindy
When I was watching The Big Bang Theory the other night, I was happy to see one of the main plots was going to be about gaming. I was, however, a little disappointed when the writers portrayed the non-geek character of Penny as not having fun while playing a card game with her Geek friends. Why? Obviously the writers have to be somewhat geeky themselves or they would never understand the ins and outs of the Geekdom in the show.(Is it possible that they have a Geek consultant? Who knows?) But why would they think that a ‘Normal’ (aka non-geek) wouldn’t enjoy a game such as the one they played? in Telly Be the first to comment! Read more... -
G33king out with David Hewlett
Written by akajipster
Last year I was given the chance to interview Stargate Atlantis star David Hewlett. He played the geeky genius engineer, Rodney McKay, on the show and I discovered that it wasn't that much of a stretch for him to play a geek. With the internet giving more and more of us geeks a voice, I was interested to find out what his take is on 'fandoms' and the fans they attract. in Telly Be the first to comment! Read more...
