IT’S GEEK WEEK on Youtube and Dublin Comic Con rolls into town this weekend.
It’s a good time to be a geek, indeed.
Here’s just a few reasons why:
1. People always need you for tech help
You can always expect a phone call when things go wrong, like a geeky superhero.

2. Being a geek is ‘cool’ now
People are literally paying to fly their flag.
3. Geeks usually aren’t short of a bit of cash

Even if it’s just because of the valuation of your Star Wars figurines.
4. Geeks have a great sense of humour… and most of the time it’s intentional

5. All your favourite series are being remade
You’re trendy now.
6. Fantasy and sci-fi are huge again
Don’t even think about not being able to discuss the Red Wedding.
Sure you even know what’s coming before the rest of the world, you read the books.
7. You can feel smart when you get geek jokes
8. You’re always in demand for the pub quiz, especially during any science round
9. Geeks are just more imaginative than your average person
