Title: Geek's Revenge on ARTE TV
Post by: eurotronic on April 30, 2012, 11:44:46 AM

Hi guys,
I just watch the Geek's revenge show on arte replay and it's big!
Not everything about videogame, it's the history of the Geek, from Dungeon and Dragons, to "the revenge", the Computer Era.

Available in french and german.

Enjoy! ;D

Just watched the entire film. Very 'interesting', thanks for the link.  :)
I know a lot of people who says that 'word' without really understand what's behind... I'm gonna sent them the link of the movie!  ;D
Can we consider us as 'Geek' because of our 'arcade' stuff?

Sure, Like one of the guys said in the movie: there are lot of different kind of geekness. :)

I love the part when Bill Gates show is last day of job. ;D

Of course we are.

As explained in the tv broadcast (very "US" oriented", thank god), geek nickname has changed during last decades.
From being hardcore associal engineers, it now stands more for people who are really deep in something, whatever it is.
Only condition : not being mainstream !!!

I really loved that broadcast. Very smart and instructive.
