Today is another one of those deliciously geeky holidays I talked about yesterday – Free Comic Book Day! Comic book stores around the country are giving away select comic books for free. Tony, the Dave’s (close friends of ours and equally in love with all things nerdy) and myself couldn’t resist, so headed to our friendly neighbourhood comic book store!

Timemasters, where I bought my first comic, my first pack of World of Warcraft trading cards, AND my first Dungeons and Dragons collectible figurine!

Lately I’ve been coming across tons of contests on Twitter and Facebook that actually involve you to do something to win them, and I really like them because A) they get you thinking and B) less people enter when actual effort is involved. A podcast done by @itsRadioPS has really peaked my interest lately, and I’ve been watching whenever I can (and you should too!)

A couple days ago I entered a contest through their site radioplaystation.com, where you could win a season pass to TellTale Games new PSN release The Walking Dead by sending them your zombie survival plan. Being married to a true zombie nerd, and being horrified of the idea of being unprepared for a zombiepocalypse, I had a pretty good idea what Tony and I would actually do in the event of a zombie attack.

double tap. always double tap.

EB Games lately has been having contests on Twitter (@EBGamesCanada) where you tweet them a response to a question. Naturally I never expect to win, but try anyway. Well shut my mouth, because a couple weeks ago I won!

the suspense ... is ... killing you ...
