New Geek On the Block (Oh oh oh oh oh... The right stuff!)
« on: December 21, 2008, 01:06:24 AM »
Hi, my name is Ian, and I'm a geek.

I've gotten super bored recently... stumbled upon this site, so i thought I'd mosey around (and who can mosey around better than a geek) and see whats up.

My geeky interests include (but are not limited to):
-Vidjagames
-Movies
-Television
-Comics (MArvel mainly, but I'm branching out to some Indies, and non-DC universe DC stuff)
-Disney

So... yep. Fell free to ask any questions!  :-D

Welcome.

Would you rather walk a pirate's plank out into the open ocean or walk a ninja's plank between two high-rise buildings with no net?

I worked for DisneyTM. The company is nothing more than a profit mongering whore willing to back up to anything that might pay it.
Where as Walt might have had soaring intentions the moment he handed the company over to the board it went the way of flesh eating bacteria really quick.
As for the parks, where you see a glowing land of happiness and 'magic', I see several thousand oppressed employees working horrific hours at minimum wage for a company that couldn't give a rat's ass about them.

[/rant]

I still twitch every time I here that god-damned Tinker-Bell & Castle theme and I struggle with a desire to kill everyone in sight everytime I hear the song "Be Our Guest".

Remember this lesson, young padawan: whenever something looks too good to be true, it is.

The fiancee got stuck on the "It's a Small World" ride for 4 hours when she was a kid. Just the cart stopped, not the animatronics or the music. She twitches too.

And welcome Elias. I'm recently new as well.
