You know it. You see it every year and it frustrates the crap out of you, just like me. The Golden Globes and the Oscars live to diss geek friendly movies. As good as Wonder Woman is, it did not get a nod at all. As Shakespearian as Thor was, it got totally ignored. To be honest with you, regardless of how phenomenal Black Panther is, I’m doubtful that it will get the recognition it deserves. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – Award Shows and the Geek

She Geek Critique – Expressing Your Geek
It should come as no surprise that I hang around with geeks. Yes, that’s how the majority of my friends would be classified, to varying degrees (though not my family – definitely not my family). But because of taking part in various events throughout the year, primarily attending cons or Oddmalls, I’m exposed to an even larger community of geeks. And it can be interesting to see just how some of them choose to express their loves. Continue reading She Geek Critique – Expressing Your Geek
She Geek Critique – Unconventional Geekness
Whether or not you’re a true geek, you likely know what it means to be one.

Irregular’s Intel – Geek Car Culture
K.I.T.T., the A-Team van, Baby, The Mystery Machine, the Mach 5…just the names alone bring to mind images of our favorite shows and cartoons. Not to mention the time we spent imagining driving those vehicles. It is safe to say that there is some semblance of a “car culture” in the geek world. How many of us have owner manuals for the Batmobile and feel pretty confident in saying which one is better and why? Or how many own the Marvel vehicle tech manual and have read (several times over) the specs for Cap’s motorcycle or one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s flying cars? I bet you’re reaching for it now.
