Reviewing 'Collectibles, Comics, Toys & More' Auction
Geek culture has undergone quite the renaissance in the past decade. The days of interest in Star Trek, Star Wars, and comic books being limited to only the so-called “nerds” have long ago passed and in today’s culture geek has gone mainstream. Billion dollar movies franchises, blockbuster television shows, and countless other signs that geek culture has attracted the masses suggest that this world is only just beginning to dominate the consumer market. The great thing about the geek genre, however, is that no matter how big it gets, there is always room for imagination both new and old.

Here’s a glimpse at just some of the hot items from the past and the present selling today!
George GottPublished 7 years ago in GeeksFamous Careers That Started On MTV's 'The Challenge'
What started out as a one time crossover between The Real World: Boston and Road Rules: Islands, has now become one of the most exciting reality competition shows on TV. The producers saw how high the ratings were for this small competition and decided to make a new spin-off show that would eventually be called the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge." The Challenge would pit former cast members from the popular show The Real World against cast members from its sister show, Road Rules. Over time the show has been opened up to cast members from the show "Are You the One?" as well as complete strangers on the seasons "Fresh Meat I & II." Over the course of 29 seasons, there have been hundreds of competitors on the show. Most of them have retired and live out normal everyday lives like the rest of us. However, some of them used The Challenge as a stepping stone for bigger and better things.

Alejandro Guillú MendozaPublished 7 years ago in GeeksDoes Black-ish Season 1 Stereotype African Americans?
Black-ish season one is like getting an MBA in Black-ish ideology. More than just Black culture, the issues of assimilation that Andre's family deal with are a part of every foreign culture's struggle to adapt to an ever changing society that tends to stereotype our differences. Ironically the battle to maintain identity, for Andre, is more often an individual and inward focused endeavor, than something that those around him see or feel.

Geeks were talking like Jedis log before George Lucas thought of Star Wars Yoda speak. Stereotypes aside, geeks often are people who have a hard time fitting in to any one particular category.
