GEEKING OUT! A places for nerds, geeks & freaks

...So my GM is going to run a RuneQuest game set in Pavis during the Second Age, for which the other two players are playing a bard who follows Nandan/Ernalda and a blacksmith who follows Gustbran the Bonesmith. I will probably be playing a young warrior who follows Vinga, after going apostate from the very patriarchal faith she was raised in to join the Storm Tribe.

If there is anyone here to whom that was not complete and utter gibberish, please tell me.

It is not gibberish. *offers secret handshake*

I'm unreasonably excited about this:

Not just because it is Star Trek, but also because he is in it:

I just realized that he is also in The Hobbit movies, as the Necromancer. I didn't even notice this (I'll just have to watch the first one five more times ). I was already totally jazzed that his co-star on Sherlock, Martin Freeman, played Bilbo. Then there is Richard Armitage...well...I cannot begin to explain how fun it was to discover that I get to watch multiple movies with him as Thorin...

I love bernard cumberbatch! Sherlock has to be one of the best things I have seen on the tv in years. Star trek comes out here on the 9th of may. But I have to wait till I am back in the states at the end of may to see it with my geeky sister and my brother in law.*mutters* I love how we had this convo after we talked about how great big bang theory is. Right back to watching last week ep of supernatural. Charlie is in it! Wish she had a bigger role! If her and Castiel were in a ep together that would be the best ep ever!

Canada unveils its sweet new space-themed $5 bill in space
With the help of Commander Chris Hadfield aboard the ISS, the Bank of Canada yesterday launched its new robot- and astronaut-themed five dollar bill.

The new polymer $5 bill shows the Canadarm2 and Dextre manipulator robots, along with an ambiguous astronaut meant to symbolize all Canadians who have contributed to its space program.

As someone who has never had:

1. An action figure
2. A Bobble head
3. Anything Star Trek (though I have coveted)
4. Any TV memorabilia

I may have to indulge, these could take care of all of the above all at once.

In the name of efficiency.
