Geeky Guilty Pleasures

We all have secrets, some of them geekier than others, but what if your secret would ruin some of your nerd cred?!?!  We put together a list of things we geek out over, but don’t tell people about.  Are you guilty of any of these guilty pleasures:


  1. As a serious gamer, still loving all the horrible sing-a-long games.  Especially if they heavily feature lyrics from the 90s.

  2. Legitimately loving Twilight.  You’re 45 and you own all the books/movies/memorabilia.

  3. You honestly can't name a  book you've read in the last 3 years that wasn't from the YA section….or even Middle Grades.

  4. Having a major addiction to fan-fiction, particularly overlapping genres and species and maybe even trains.

  5. Shipping characters so hard that your family schedules an intervention.

  6. You like the Star Trek animated series - it is just terrible come on!

  7. Pretending to have children to excuse the number of Lego sets that you are buying.

  8. You have action figures in your purse right now.  At work. Just in case.

  9. When Netflix suggested you might like Ghost Whisperer, you marathoned the hell out of Jennifer Love Hewitt .
  10. You were sorted into Hufflepuff.  Admit it.


You also probably learned "a second language" by watching too much KPop.

UPDATE: GameStop buys ThinkGeek out from under Hot Topic!
This is some interesting and surprising news! 
"Geeknet (parent company of ThinkGeek.com) announced that it has terminated its previously announced merger agreement with Hot Topic, Inc. (“Hot Topic”). Following discussion with both GameStop and Hot Topic, the Board of Directors of Geeknet determined that the GameStop transaction represented a superior proposal. Geeknet will pay Hot Topic a termination fee pursuant to the Hot Topic agreement, for which GameStop has agreed to reimburse Geeknet."

Do you think GameStop and ThinkGeek make a good pairing?

Have you heard? Hot Topic - everyone's favorite mall goth teen time kill - is buying Thinkgeek.com! I know Hot topic has been shifting its brand to nerd items over the last year or so, but this is a giant leap in that direction!

According to RTTNews:

Geeknet, Inc. (GKNT), the parent company of online retailers ThinkGeek and ThinkGeek Solutions, Tuesday said it would be acquired by Hot Topic, Inc., a mall and web-based specialty retailer and a portfolio company of private equity firm Sycamore Partners, for $17.50 per share.

The acquisition, which has a total equity value of about $122 million, will be completed by means of a tender offer to be commenced shortly.

If this means more quality nerd merch in a nearby retail location, I may have brave going to 'the Mall' for the first time in a decade to shop!
