# Geek-Culture
I'm starting a BSC (Hons) in Computer & Video Games in September...somebody must be able to recommend a good geek website I can start to frequent...
I will fully immerse myself in the life of a geek and play Counter Strike, Command & Conquer maybe even Team Fortress and talk about how games were better in the old days and complain about all these kids wearing Atari t-shirts nowadays...they probably don't even know who Atari are do they? DO THEY?

Dammit.
I've got myself all angry and frustrated now.

# you're joking mate
Atari? ATARI? They make all the latest games these days. Check out Neverwinter Nights. Made by Atari. ;)

(well, alright, made by BioWare and published by Infogrammes, who own Atari now)

As for communities to hang around in, I can recommend the forums at BarrysWorld.
