A great interview has been posted of our very own Vic Sage (pictured below in the Tron legacy trailer) at the website Random Acts of Geekery. In the interview, Vic talks about his love of comics, retro gaming and of course blogging. This is part of RAoG’s ongoing series, “The Way of the Geek” and perhaps I am a bit partial, but I think this is their best entry on the series so far.

Very cool interview.
And a great wedding present you had there!
Great article Vic. I especially enjoyed the part about the Fisher Price movie theater. Those Fisher Price toys were made to last.
Thanks all!
