Headgeek Harry Knowles has something to say about Patton Oswalt's Essay...

Some interesting read on the internet and, I'm really enjoying these articles on geek culture and how it has changed society.. I for one am not a hardcore geek/nerd.. I grew up around them, understand their passion and references but I don't take it to the extreme like dress up in silly costumes and go to a comic book convention..

If you haven't read Patton's Essay, read that first before reading this one..
I provided both links below...

Oh and I also missed the days when I would geek out about something and tell that certain someone about it and he/she would get excited from me telling them that.. Nowadays If I geek out about something and tell that someone, they already heard about it 2 weeks ago and could care less about my passion for something..

 

I get geeked out more on this stuff than I do with the ps3's and the wii and all that other new stuff that just came out... I guess it's built around nostalgia and I never had those things as a kid but always had awesome friends that do...
Nowadays you can just buy anything with a click of a button.. Everything is instant gratification...
