I first heard of GeekFight about a year ago. Some guy named Paolo Cruz had put together a sort of trivia contest about all things geek. Being no mean purveyor of things geek, I scoffed. âThis guy probably isnât even a real geek," I thought. âI bet the questions will be all about the JJ Abrams Star Trek movie. Jeez, watch one sci-fi movie and you think youâve got credâ¦" You must understand my apprehension. Iâve been a Star Wars geek since I was five years old. I wear costumes. My husband is a clone trooper. We got married in a grand Star Wars wedding, complete with a lightsaber parade as our recessional. You know those sci-fi and fantasy conventions? I not only attended themâI helped organize them. So as you can see, I have every right to call myself a full-fledged geek, and I had every right to scoff at this challenge to my geekness. Fast forward to August 2010: Iâm screaming my head off, arguing with Paolo about chaps and boots used by prospectors during the gold rush in the United States. About an hour later, my friends and I are cheering because weâve wonâagain. So who is this guy and how did his GeekFight turn me and my friends into competitive raving lunatics?
