As far as my house, I have a ton of video games and three or four old consoles.

I'm incredibly nostalgic for the '80s, because I think that's when Geek Culture really kicked in to high gear.

I burned through all of my extra lives in a matter of minutes, and my two least-favorite words appeared on the screen: GAME OVER.

Cops pull me over just to get a better look. They never give me a ticket, even if I'm speeding, but they will ask to take pictures.

I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.

I have to avoid things like 'World of Warcraft' or 'Minecraft', otherwise I'd never get any work done.

I've been invited to speak at about 20 colleges. There's always this moment when I'm having dinner with the college president: 'Ernie, where'd you go to school?'
