Nothing much has changed really! I fall in love with fandoms easily, devouring everything I can get my hands on including games, spin-offs, and extra material. Although we already have two cats, Milo and George, I would quite happily have many more — even a zoo if I was allowed! My academic career has always been interwoven with fantasy and science fiction; for my Masters, I catalogued my video games collection, for example.
While studying Art History, I learned about science fiction-esque cyberia and psychobabble, the fantastic creatures in manuscripts and modern esoteric and surrealist art. Sharing stories and knowledge is a core part of who I am, and it bleeds into everything I do as a blogger. It is what draws me to write, and to share geeky products with people. Privacy Policy.

Victoria Tomis Contributor. Vicky Hearts TV. My days of writing Kingdom Hearts fanfiction are way behind me, these days I spend my time writing the first draft of my middle grade novel, writing book reviews and blogging about my favorite fandoms, tv, movies, books, and all things geeky. Pepi Valderrama Contributor. My passion for pop culture, fantasy books, comics, and Superheroes began with a Hobbit, a Saiyan, some dragons in a dungeon, and setting all phasers to stun.
Fairies and far away worlds from the next galaxy have always thrilled me to the point of wanting to go on an adventure. And so, I left my Hobbit-hole and enjoyed more than eight years in Tokyo, where my passion for discovering new cultures, learning on the spot, and exploring through popular culture increased dramatically. Despite all the thrill, books and comics still pull me into their fantasy worlds with extreme ease giving me the spark of magic and inspiration.
My hobbies include learning new languages, writing new worlds while high on coffee, and reading comfortably while the fantasy world in the book is in flames.
If not, it might be my ghost coding some masterplan for a new website, or my clone reading a fantasy book with drunk fairies and murderous mermaids. Andreea Voicu Executive Editor. If you were to look for me most days of the week, you would find me either in front of my laptop watching TV shows, or reading a book with my cats beside me.
I am a cultural studies MA graduate with a focus on American culture. I enjoy keeping up-to-date with TV shows and movies that strive to provide positive and accurate representations of different aspects of society and groups of people. Most of my other interests revolve around geekiness and popular culture as well. I am part of too many fandoms to list here, enjoy reading about cool products and gadgets, and try to write regularly about interesting and challenging topics in popular culture.
If at least some of these things appeal to you as well, I am excited to have you here and I am looking forward to starting a conversation in the comments or via e-mail. Alina Petcu Contributor. My fascination for everything geeky, be it science fiction or fantasy, began at an early age. Fast-forward 17 years, ten books, and ten films, my passion grew into more than the magic of J. These days, I enjoy collecting graphic novels and fawning over the mastery of Alan Moore and Frank Miller, reading anything sci-fi, watching the latest superhero film Marvel or DC as soon as it hits theaters, and arguing with my friends over what horror film to watch next.
Still, I always love rewatching old favorites and introducing people to the best the genre has to offer. Nevertheless, TV shows will always be my number one hobby. I like to keep up with the latest releases so I can binge watch them responsibly, of course. July 21, Let me set the scene…. Our Top 3 Choices. Imperial Settlers.

Taking the infiltration-based mechanics to an open world and then layering plenty more on top, Metal Gear Solid 5 is a toy box of gadgets, gizmos, and missions players can attempt a near-infinite number of ways. Of all the genres to have re-emerged since the indie revolution nine-odd years ago, Metroidvania has been the biggest benefactor. Hollow Knight feels like the pinnacle of the last several years of Metroidvania design, and it's certainly earned its place in this list of the best single-player games.
