Editorial | Tips for Geeking on a Budget

Whether it is due to situational circumstances (i.e. being a college student) or just a personal preference, everyone likes to save money.  Let’s be honest, being a geek can get expensive.  Whether it is cosplay, shelf porn, comic book collecting, or hardcore video gaming, most geeky hobbies can quickly end up costing serious cash.  With this in mind, here is a list of Therefore I Geek’s favorite ways to save money.

10.)Avid video gamers know the drill already:  Steam sales are the way to go!  Steam is a gaming and digital distribution platform developed by Valve Corporation that has a little over 3,000 titles available and has blowout sales several times per year.  Although it is common knowledge that Steam’s biggest sales are in summer (June/July) and at the holidays (December/January), with a couple of smaller sales in the autumn and sometimes near Halloween, the exact sale dates are not released very long in advance.  The best advice would be to save a little extra right before these times to be prepared to stock up for the intervening months.2014-steam-summer-sale-day-2

Mikey Mason’s Dodecahedron Preview: a Therefore I Geek Exclusive Leak

dodecahedronRemember that HUGE surprise that I’ve been giddy about all weekend?  Well, it turns out Mikey Mason, our favorite comedy geek and an occasional guest blogger here on Therefore I Geek, has decided to let us leak a preview of his brand new, not-yet-released album, Dodecahedron.  The album officially drops on July 14, so you’re just about a week away from being able to pick up a copy of your very own, but you can preorder the album now and get three tracks immediately, as well as bonus content after the release that isn’t available anywhere else!

Needless to say, Andrew and I are incredibly pleased at the opportunity to share this exclusive preview–especially since we got to hear a few excerpts live at the Big Damn Shindig, Norfolk VA’s Can’t Stop the Serenity event a couple of weekends ago.
