The Rich Geek

Hello everyone, been awhile since I posted anything on here! I would just like to announce that Millionaire Geeks will be making a second convention appearance! This time we will be at Connecticon in Hartford Connecticut. This is by far the most anticipated event for us here at Millionaire Geeks. We love Connecticon and make it a habit to attend every summer! Located in the Convention Center in Hartford, you won’t find a more convenient spot for a con! Connecticon caters to anime and gamer fans alike with anime screenings playing around the clock and a HUGE gaming room. Also this year the dealer room will be located in the gigantic area downstairs freeing up a whole new area for activites and expanding the dealer room to nearly double what it was last year!

Both Drake and Mr.J of Millionaire Geeks will be attending and they will be handing out pins and fliers and of course information! So feel free to meet them, they will be more than happy to introduce themselves and love hearing from people who show an interest in our site. And like last time, we promise pictures! See you there =)

My girlfriend Jen and I went to see the Dark Knight yesterday (Friday the 18th) and right off the bat let me say it was really awesome. At the same time let me say any younger batman fans out there may want to wait a few years before viewing it. While extremely well done the movie was quite dark and (in my opinion) highly inappropriate for younger children.

I know everyone wants to know how was the Joker? Well Heath Ledger did an amazing job. His portrayal blew me away, and thats saying something given the joker is one of my favorite villains of all time. Ledger has created what I consider THE iconic version of the joker. Ledgers joker hearkens back to the twisted mass murdering psychopath the joker was when he first appeared in Batman #1 way back in the 1940’s (thats old school comic love baby). At the same time he manages to combine bits (the best bits) of the joker as he evolved through the years and create something new. No maybe new isn’t the right word. Ledger has managed to portray a pure realistic portrayal of the jokers core essence. In a way with the intensity and depth of his performance I would say Ledger didn’t play the joker, he BECAME the joker. Everyone always of course will compare Ledgers joker with Jack Nicholson’s portrayal. If I were to do that I would say I love them both but Jack was much more the over the top and flamboyant joker of the comics. I also would say when you watch Jack play the joker you can’t help but see Jack playing the Joker. When you watch Heath Ledger play the joker, you see the joker.

Now as much as I loved the joker and Heath deserves all the props I can give there was more to the movie. Harvey Dent was brilliantly played by Aaron Eckhart and of course Christian Bale again completely embodied Batman. Bale gave true emotion and depth to his role as Bruce/Batman and brought across the conflicted nature of his life in a way that no one else has managed to do. I have to say I feel really bad for Bale in a way. If Heath Ledger hadn’t died he and Heath would have probably been promoting the movie together and shared the spotlight even with ledgers brilliant performance. But with his death it leaves Bale somewhat forgotten by both the media and the public in general.

Now before I go any further I want to say I’m going to put the rest of my review under the cut so I don’t’ spoil anything for those of you who haven’t seen the movie.

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Millionaire Geeks is not a game company by any means but we definitely like to keep our members up to date on major events in the gaming community. Probably the biggest event this year aside from Blizzard announcing that there is work being done for a Diablo 3! But along with the announcment that a Final Fantasy XIII is in the works, which is not a surprise because it is a very popular franchise, Square Enix dropped a big surprise on everyone at E3!

Hello again! The rest of the pics are in and I’m ready to share the last leg of my journey with you all. I’ll also have you know that today is my birthday, so WOOHOO happy birthday to me! So anyway, without any further ado, here is the rest of my adventure at Port Con Maine 2008!

Well the pictures are in and as promised, we’d like to share them with all of you! Unfortunately Mr.J was unable to attend but in his absence I dove into the world of anime and gaming that was Port Con Maine 2008. I met tons of interesting and fun (not to mention geeky) people who loved our idea and thought it was great that we were targeting information on e-marketing towards geeks. If you attended, perhaps you saw our flyers or even ran into me (I had a name tag with “Drake” on it, go figure!) and had the opportunity to hear first-hand what we do. So without further ado, sit back and hear my tale of every geeks’ favorite pasttime, attending a convention!

Well, we came, we saw, and we conquered! Port Con 2008 was a lot of fun and I’m so glad that we got to attend! This was the first year going for all of us and we had a blast! I hope all of the fun and interesting people that we met at the con come and visit the site. Our flyers caught the attention of many a con-attendee and we were more than happy to answer any questions they had. It seemed to me like many people were eager to become geek entrepreneurs!

And as promised we will be sure to post a collection of pictures that we took while we were there. I hope you enjoy them and feel free to make comments, many many comments!

Next stop, Connecticon 2008! See ya there -.^

It’s been a real exciting few months since Millionaire Geeks made its first appearance on the web! I just love working with Drake and Mr.J and teaching fellow geeks how to make a successful living online!

Well this weekend it’s about to get even more exciting as Millionaire Geeks makes its first appearance at Port Con in Portland Maine! We’ll be handing out flyers to promote the site so if you make it there, keep your eyes peeled for my face on paper (I don’t know, these boys just really seem to like using my image to promote!), I myself am rather impressed at how they came out.

When it’s all said and done we’ll be posting pictures up of our adventure. We know how hungry the geek community is for pictures of great cosplay outfits and I’m sure we’ll see plenty!

Hope to see you there and the Millionaire Geeks Team and I would like to wish you all a Happy Independence Day!

Ok not much to say right now other than the last few days have been very exciting.  I mean all the excitement of the possibility and then BOOM Diablo 3.  Thats right baby it’s here and it’s real and it’s coming soon.  If you haven’t done so yet you should head over to Blizzards website and see the trailers.  They’re pretty sweet.

Also I would say you may want to look at the cool Cain’s Journal feature they added to the site.  It’s a decent overview of Diablo 1 & 2 from the perspective of Cain.  It’s also fully narrated as well as it being readable so if I were you I would Stay awhile and Listen.  Don’t worry we’ll keep you updated on any big developments and give a hardcore serious review of the game when it releases.  I know I’ll play it for a good 48 hours or so straight when I get it.  Hand me my caffeinated beverage baby I’m gonna get myself in shape playing Diablo 2 right now!
