Geek Hierarchy

[Thorin]

I think this guy is spot-on with his geek hierarchy:

He also has a larger one here: http://www.brunching.com/images/geekchartbig.gif or a printable PDF here: http://www.brunching.com/images/geekchart.pdf

I think I might just print off that PDF and put it on my wall, see how many people look at it.

SFLF* for me... anyone else want to admit their geek level? (of which I will almost assuredly be looking down )






*of the SF TV I am a fan of, it's the writing that draws me in, and since I detest SF lit that is set in a "TV SF universe" I think the pure "SFLF" is a correct self-assessment. Now excuse me while I go visit Wee Book Inn to see if I can find another virtually-unknown Heinlein gem for a toonie...

I'm kind of in between "Insist on subtitles" and "Doesn't care about subtitles". I don't really insist on it, but I do /prefer/ subtitles.

But I'm also a Science Fiction Lit fan, as well as a TV SF fan, and maybe a future Amateur SF writer. Oh and I've seen every single TNG ep several times, not sure that makes you a Trekkie, but I do enjoy the show on occasion.

I sit in-between the subtitles debate as well.

I can watch subtitled stuff without issue but I would prefer to have it dubbed with well matched voices.

Ghost in the shell, Akura, princess monninokie etc have been dubbed well. To bad tv seems to get the same 4 voice actors and any character under the age of 16 has the most anoying kid voice ever.

Man, this chart is the truth! The scary, horrifying truth!
