Us Geeks

I am a geek. I know this and I don’t care what others think about this. I am not the only one that is a geek, there are thousands and we are everywhere.  We are those people that some might think are strange, with all the comic books , computers and video games. These are some of the things that make us happy. These things are part of what makes us, us.

Most of the time  if someone is a geek they are not just a comic book geek or a computer geek, they like all of these things. This is true for me, I mainly like comic books but I am also a gamer, I love to play Assassins Creed and games like it. When playing these games you are able to take to the other gamers and geeks, yes I could just talk to these people on the geek communities on facebook and other social media sites but it is just not the same. I learned that the people on just the social media only want to talk about one think, weather that would be comic books ( which is my favorite), computers or games, it is just one thing why not combine all the things that make you happy that’s why I have found a group of people that games and are into superheros.

I found these group of people in a game called Order and Chaos. We are geeks it is pretty obvious, just by our avatars names I have a character named Kara Kent (Supergirl) my brother he calls his avatar, Clark Kent( superboy)( getting these characters names are kind of amazing because we thought for sure they would already be taken) and my sitter Barry ( like Barry Allen AKA the Flash). The group of people are bigger the the three of us there are people from all around the world that plays apart in our group.(IF playing games never give out any personal information)  As we play the game we will have battles over who is the best superhero and in the game we battle to see who wins( I do win sometimes) but most of the time are we game we debate movies or some of the things that we think should be created not only movies but books, Tv shows, and even other games.

I know that this could be considered a waste of time but sometimes when I get flustered with things that are going on weather it would be school or just all the homework that we get, gaming and talking comic books just clears my head of all the things going on. These people that I never or will never know help  with this we have common interest and they are just there and if the conversation just get my mind racing and don’t know what to do I can just turn the game off. If if this was a group of people that I was talking to in real life it’s hard to get away  from if they are just getting on my nerves. Even though they sometimes get on my nerves I still like having them there to talk to our little superhero geeks in the world of gaming were people just understand that what we do if fun and not a waste of time talking superheros and gaming.They just get it.
