I sometimes feel that I myself may be a sham-geek... I *used to* read comics. I still own comics, but it's only because they are somewhat valuable. I only play sports (specifically football) video games. I am not particularly interested in technology and the next tablet or smartphone or computer or apple bauble. I find Big Bang fantastic. dr who sucks. I can't understand the appeal of anime.
That being said, I currently participate in a tabletop (dice and pencil) RPG, I am a regular on a weekly (now every-other-week??) podcast, I read fantasy and sci-fi books, and met my favorite author R.A. Salvatore at D*C last year. I go to Dragon*Con and participate as a panel member on more than one panel every year. I met my best friend because of a RPG, in a comic shop. So...who's job/right is it to tell me i am a geek or i need to turn in my D*C badge?
