Yeah yeah…there is no arguing that in one capacity or another we are all geeks here at GEN. That isn’t surprising. Having a geek side is not uncommon these days – even celebrities seem to be embracing their inner-fandom.
Here at GEN, we come in all flavors of geek. Some of us live for video games, others dish out dough every week for comics, and still others can’t get enough anime and manga.

Unfortunately, doing anything productive while in costume in a con is almost impossible, so I didn’t get too many people, and alas… I didn’t get any names either. I know, I know, while I managed to snap photos and share a bit of chitchat, I never carried a pen and paper with me and took no names! So if you see yourself, please speak up! Read the full story

If you’re like me and love the X-men, you’ve probably secretly dreamed of enrolling at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters (aka the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning). Dreamed of training in the Danger Room and learning physics from Beast … Well, so we’re not mutants. That’s no reason why we can’t boast our fandom by donning shirts that show our spirit for our favorite school we don’t actually attend. Erm … right? RIGHT!
