Geek Zodiac

Apr 07. 2011

I don't put much stock in astrology or zodiacs, but I gotta give some cred to this geek zodiac, created by James Wright and designed by Josh Eckert. (Click to view large) And because the fine print is a bit difficult to read: † This is not to say that Ninja and Samurai are the same, only that they tend to appear around the same time and often in the same stories. And yes, Jedi Knight falls under this category (but depending on your reading, Han Solo would be either Pirate or Treasure Hunter). * Also includes those who hunt the undead. ** “Desenrascanço (loosely translatable as “disentanglement”) is a Portuguese word used, in common language, to express an ability to solve a problem without...

The second video is more lighthearted and humorous....
