    Oh me too. I was peeved when Dresden Files got cancelled, I nearly kicked the TV in frustration after watching the last episode of Moonlight and how they left it wide open for a second series and then it got cancelled. I didn't like how the end of Pushing Daisies was rushed and didn't feel right. I nearly cried when I found out Almost Human was cancelled (again leaving it open for an intense second series) and I'm really getting into Constantine but I know I'm going to be disappointed soon when it ends as it's been cancelled. :(

    I still don't understand how Almost Human was cancelled. It was a great cast, budget, writing, etc. It was a good cop action show with robots!! Come on!

    Urgh don't get me started :# I know right. I've signed petitions to bring it back and forever hopeful I loved the banter between John and Dorian and the stories were great. I just don't get it.

    Hey! Any Horror fans?!?!

    yup. seems a lot of horror lately has been nerfed to be suitable for 13 year olds though. eagerly awaiting horror's eventual return.

    ughhhhhhh so true!

    I'm a huge fan of the old slashers, but love a good zombie flick :)

    My fingers are still crossed for Trick 'r Treat 2...it needs to happen!!!!
    Trick 'r Treat ROCKED. we need more Sam!! I heard it wasn't a matter of "if", but "when" we get part 2. though we had to wait for the first.

    I looooooooooooooooove Sam!!! Trick 'r Treat is one of my favorites. I ran out of time for Halloween this year, but I was working on a Sam costume for myself. My Mother-in-law helped with the jumpsuit. It came out great :) I will be ready for 2015 Halloween.

    It's awesome to see so many geeks on here! I'm a big gaming geek (PC, consoles & portables) and have been getting back into Pokémon for some old school nostalgia haha Also love comic books, novels, anything zombie (Walking Dead ftw!) and firmly believe that light sabres make EVERYTHING better.

    I need to find time to watch movies! I was a soccer and hockey coach for years, so that always took up my free time. Maybe I can find some now somehow.....

    I may belong here :)

    My cats are called Tiberius, Ezri and McCoy :) I read Game of Thrones way before the tv series (and I'm concerned that Mr Martin will die before he finishes the books!!!) I'm a Stephen king fan - love the stand and excited about the new film!
    Anime - I love FMA old version, not caught up on the newish one yet.
    Supernatural I love (despite the dodgy season. My next cat may be called Castiel :) )
    Getting back into Skyrim and looking forward to the next Uncharted and the Last of us.

    I'm a huge nerd too! Don't own a console though, since I'm mostly part of the PC master race.

    PCS are awesome as well. I don't have many games on my PC though. Can never get us to the controls that way. It's like multitasking with my fingers and for some reason that is damn near impossible for me.

    Quite a few PC games allow you to use an xbox controller plugged into a usb port.

    I myself am an avid WoW and LoL player.

    My boyfriend would love you.

    I play WoW, not LoL (yet? I'm being pushed to try it) I love HP, A SOIAF books, the GoT show, The King killer Chronicles, and I can go on. I love reading, I just started a Japanese steampunk book I have high hopes for as well.

    I play support so that everything is my fault till the end of time. And its free so you can download it and play with no money involved which is great if you hate it.

    I also love my kindle and all the sites that let me steal ebooks and calibre to format them for my kindle.

    He mains ADC so he's probably the main person complaining about you haha he actually wants me to learn to play support so he'd always have one. I have been thinking about downloading it since it is free but it seems like such a time sink, or at least the way he plays it, it is.

    I have a nook but I still prefer to hold a book when I'm reading. Something just doesn't feel right about not having one in my hand.

    It is the biggest time sink in the world. I have wasted hours and countless dollars on this game.


    I still have shelves and shelves of paper books but I will take free over actually paying for things any day lol.

    I don't know if you'd call me a geek or not. I work in IT and read a lot of science fiction. Oh yeah, I do like Doctor Who, but I think Moffet needs a spanking, just sayin'. Man can't write a good female character to save his life.

    Geek-in-training here! Not much into gaming, although Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past holds a special place in my heart. Voracious reader, loves LOTR/Hobbit, GoT, Sherlock, Outlander (Bueller? Anyone?), Vikings.

    Geez, that reads like a bad personal ad, doesn't it?

    Any of the horror fans here played P.T. on the PS4? That game is SCARY. It also made me super excited for Silent Hills. Starring Norman Reedus and directed by Guillermo del Torro? I need it.

    Huge Who geek! Well, actually, a huge geek in general. Gamer (right now Rift, though I have experience with almost all the MMOs,) avid book worm (Orson Scott Card, Tamora Pierce, Mercedes Lackey, etc) SciFi/Fantasy movie enthusiast... And the Holy Trinity of SuperWhoLock, of course.

    All geeks welcome to add me! :D

    So much this. If he does, he may go down as the biggest troll in literary history.

    Oh, and your cats are awesome.
