I have a variety of fandoms – Doctor Who, Supernatural, Marvel comics, Deadpool, Wonder Woman, steampunk (to name the primary ones). This does not include the broader geekdoms (books, scifi/fantasy, the paranormal, etc.), just a few of the more specific areas.

The Gamer Geek Blog – A Slow Week
Hey Geeksters!
This week was pretty slow in terms of news.
Twitchcon was last week, but was just a meet and greet for streamers and their chats to meet.
So because I couldn’t find anything really interesting, here’s something that bothers me.

I’m not a programmer but I am an *editor* (video editor for a Let’s Play channel) so I know it’s not hard to scale the text down and add another number. So that’s what’s been bothering me this week.
Next week I should have some real news for you guys and gals.
That’s it from me. See you in the next level.
