Morgan Webb's Guiltiest Geek Pleasures

With E3 wreaking worldwide video-game havoc this week, GCD caught up with X-Play's gaming goddess for a check of her nerd license.

Star Trek: The Next Generation
Am I aware that this is a badly-acted soap opera with abysmal special effects? Of course I am. Do I love it anyway? Yes, and I wear it loud and proud. This show was my first real foray into sci-fi television and though modern nerds may scoff at it as cheesy (rightly) and full of plot holes (absolutely), it will always maintain a special place in my heart.

World of Warcraft
I am one of the 11 million obsessed. But, this game is huge for a reason: It never ends! You've spent 350 hours to reach the highest level you can attain? Well that's when the game really gets going with raids, dungeons, and player vs. player content that never gets old. World of Warcraft isn't a game, it's a part of my life.

FLCL
FLCL is a 6-ep anime mini-series about a renegade space alien, a young boy, and the robots that grow out of his head. It's sheer perfection and I collect anything I can find related to it. My prize possession? A shot glass with a pink portrait of the Vespa-riding guitar-wielding heroine, Haruko Haruharu.

Red Dwarf
If you haven't seen Red Dwarf, your geek credentials are officially in question. Red Dwarf is a BBC comedy about a low-class lout (the last known human in the universe), a prissy hologram, a depressed computer and a cat that evolved into something resembling James Brown. It's set on an empty mining ship millions of years in the future and is a must see for anyone who calls themselves a nerd.

The A-Team
While other little girls pretended to be princesses, I was pretending to be B.A. Baracus. I used to watch him create complicated mechanical contraptions with nothing more than a garage door and a welding torch, and I've been attracted to technology ever since. Thanks Mr. T!
