Ever since our primitive ancestors first walked the earth, man has gathered in groups. They shared the light and warmth of fire. They shared food. They picked lice off each other. They shared stories. A few days ago, fellow Geekcentricity writer Jason shared his view of MMO’s and online gaming as being the next logical [...]
Friendship is Rare Once Again… I believe MMOs are the natural progression of social gaming. Much like snail mail, Scrabble, or even phone books, social gaming is something that is quickly losing its need for a physical medium. It’s happening everywhere! Many of my gamer friends remember all-night frag-fests with your friends playing split-screen Goldeneye [...]
Divorce – for lack of a better term – sucks. Anger, frustration, fear, sorrow, anguish, bitterness, hatred, and regret are just a few of the emotions that come up during and after a divorce. The person being divorced starts questioning their value as a person and as a mate. They start thinking and saying “If [...]
As a musician and an avid reader, I have never had much use for podcasts until just recently. On a sunny day I was frolicking, yes frolicking, back from the dog run, puppy in tow. I frolicked too much and my iPhone 3G fell from my happy little pocket amongst the happy little trees. Luckily, [...]
I usually try not to write about heavy or depressing subject matter. I mean, hell, that’s no way to get people to want to keep reading, is it? Still, this post has been sitting on my brain, squeezing it, for days now, begging to be written. Last summer, I stumbled upon an excellent piece by [...]

I’m not a virgin (BOING!), I have a job that sucks but pays the bills, I moved out [...]
Top 3 days of my life: 1.) The day my son was born. 2.) The day BEFORE The Phantom Menace 3.) The day my wife used the world “teleport” in a perfectly legitimate sentence in the company of many non-geeks. Seriously, without any actual force or structure, my darling missus has been Nerd-Adjacent long enough [...]
Let’s face it…hobbies are expensive. New card sets, the latest sourcebook for all seventeen of your favorite RPGs, not to mention all the phenomenal video games that rain from the sky every Tuesday at $60 a pop. It’s so sad…the only way to afford ALL of the nerd-gasmic goodies we want is to work so [...]
Hi, my name is Jason, and I am a nerd. I’ve done it all, I’ve painted little men, jumped on turtle shells, and memorized the works of one R.A. Salvatore. I’ve run the gauntlet of tabletop games, I’ve played vampires, wizards, jedi, mercenaries, shapeshifters, railroad conductors, healers, rangers, and even warriors, all of varying races [...]
