jesshartleyI'm not a geek, but I play one on TV...
Not really, but it pleased me to no end today to take "geek points" away from one of my employers.
We were discussing whether a certain movie reference was too confusing for the book I'm editting for him, and he said that if I wanted to take out the reference to certain futuristic movies, Starship Trooper being the example I'd pointed out as possibly problematic, then I would need to remove references to Star Wars as well.
I got no end of glee in pointing out (to an independent game publisher/writer) that SW happens "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."
HURRAY for girl geeks!
He was mightily embaressed for making such a newb mistake.
