I encourage you to go over to Stefan Blitz’ FORCES OF GEEK, where I am imagining myself on assignment for Hawk in the depths of THE PIT!
Thanks, Stefan - another fun one and right in time for the birthday of America. Yo, Joe!

Published by BearManor MediaA heavy flop. General Clayton Abernathy, aka Hawk, has dropped A Quick Look Inside Fighting for Freedom: The Unauthorized G.I. Joe Chronology – Volume II: Television & Film on my desk at 1700 hours on a Friday. “Our job… is never finished.”
James McFadden has returned with my new intel companion for the weekend. Sure beats KP duty peeling potatoes with Flash.
Thanks for reading I Think This Is Great! with Clay N. Ferno! This post is public so feel free to share it.
Check out FOG! for the latest and greatest, including a Supergirl review which I have to firewall until back from my mission to Krypton.
Forces of Geek is the premiere geek culture community with columnists and contributors celebrating their own obsessions.
In his book, Geeks: How Two Lost Boys Rode The Internet Out of Idaho, author Jon Katz defined geek as, “A member of the new cultural elite, a pop-culture-loving, techno-centered Community of Social Discontents. Most geeks rose above a suffocatingly unimaginative educational system, where they were surrounded by obnoxious social values and hostile peers, to build the freest and most inventive culture on the planet: the Internet and World Wide Web. Now running the systems that run the world.
Tendency toward braininess and individuality, traits that often trigger resentment, isolation, or exclusion. Identifiable by a singular obsessiveness about the things they love, both work and play, and a well-honed sense of bitter, even savage, outsider humor. Universally suspicious of authority. In this era, the Geek Ascension, a positive, even envied term. Definitions involving chicken heads no longer apply.”
Forces of Geek features columns and commentary on all aspects of geek culture including technology, art, television, comics, music, fashion, film, literature and video games.
Forces of Geek is your home to discover and embrace the unknown, the forgotten, and the beloved.
