Get To Know Your Geeks: Caspian
Who are the faces behind The Weekly Geek, you ask? This is a question left completely unanswered for too long. Welcome to a brand new Weekly Geek column called "Get To Know Your Geeks"! Over the next few weeks we will ask our staff various questions so that you, the reader, can get an idea of who they are before you lambaste their opinions in the comments. Fantastic, eh!
Mike Wiegand, better known as "Caspian", is the music editor and resident guitar god for The Weekly Geek. In this first installment of "Get to Know Your Geeks" we ask him a few questions to probe deep into his innermost thoughts and secrets. Not really, but it's interesting nonetheless!
When did you first discover you were a geek?
Probably in 4th grade when I brought my Captain Picard and Data action figures to school and acted out my own episodes of TNG.
What is the one video game you keep coming back to no matter how many times you've played it?
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past.
What is your day job?
Marketing Coordinator for a Mortgage Company (ah, corporate whoredom).
If you were stranded on an island with a dvd player and could only bring ONE dvd or dvd set, what would you bring?
Star Wars Episodes 4-6, I guess. /psh I hate movies.
Put your music on shuffle and hit play. What comes up?
"Scythian Empires" by Andrew Bird
How long have you been with The Weekly Geek, and what is your favorite thing you have done so far for the site?
Since last summer; 1 blissful year. If you judge by comments, inciting a riot of Modest Mouse fans was the best thing I've ever done.
What blogs do you regularly read?
Pitchforkmedia.com, Destructoid, Ectoplasmosis, Treehugger, Listening|Post, Game|Life and Boing Boing.
Do you have any non-geek related hobbies?
Recording Music?!? That's still geeky, isn't it?
What was the worst video game you have ever played?
Kung Fu for the NES. Snakes that you kill by kicking them? If only! And a final boss named Mr. X. Seriously, couldn't think of a better name? Try harder Data East!
Next Week: The Geek himself!
