Geek Syndicate Issue 8 | Page 66

Geek Syndicate Deeper into the Lair … Moving upstairs, the first stop should probably be Storage Cupboard Two. This cupboard stores items that I (we) don’t use on a regular enough basis to keep out all the time. Along with a box of photograph albums, computer hardware and assorted installation discs are our LEGO storage boxes, loose but un-displayed action figures and NERF guns. This cupboard is also the home to our growing tabletop board game collection. Next, we move into the study. This is really my wife’s domain where she spends time marking course work, writing lesson plans or generally kicking the living poop out of mobs in Guild Wars 2. Here we see more of my wife’s geek memorabilia (some batgirl comic covers and her DC and Star Wars LEGO sets). What you can’t see is the stack of comic boxes she also keeps here. Oh and that Jessie Doll? It scares the living bejeezus out of me. I mean look at it… the manic grin, the staring eyes. *shudder* 66
