Ever heard of a Bin or Cue file? Maybe not! What about ISO? That’s definitely more common, but what are you supposed to do with these files?

If you ever looked for video game through a regular Internet search engine, you realized that the results can be quite numerous. Instead of using something like Google or Yahoo, why not use a search site that covers only video games?
Gamepublic.com is designed with exactly this angle in mind. Simply type in your search terms and choose a platform (PS2, XBOX, PC, etc.), or leave the All Platforms default for a broader search. Your results will include items like reviews, cheat codes, and links to other websites. If you are the gaming type, this website is worth a test drive.
I’ve always been a big fan of comics since I was a kid and used to read stuff like Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, and Dilbert all the time. If you like comics, you should check out xkcd, a website that has lots of geek-related comics. It’s mostly just stickmen with text, but it’s pretty funny.
My last post was about cool pumpkin mods you can do for Halloween. Since I’m geeky, I also like to check out fun, interesting, and super geeky Halloween costumes.
Here are a few links to some really geeky people that have costumes like Transformer, Lego Geek, Borg, and the Facebook Profile guy! Enjoy!
