The House that Funk Built
This is a blog created by a person with too much time on his hands and too much love for geeky hobbies. We love movies, games, comics, books, arranging things into Top 10′s, ranting and other geeky passtimes, and we love being able to share those hobbies with anyone who’d care to listen (and those who don’t care)! Each contributor is here simply because of our passion for the material – feel free to browse our writings, leave a comment and subscribe so you don’t miss the next self-righteous rambling about whether Superman or Batman would win in a fight!
FYI, the answer is Batman. Always Batman.

JUST WHO THE HELL DO WE THINK WE ARE?
G-FUNK
My name is Funk, I am a geek and this is my house.
G-Funk (sometimes called ‘Gareth’) turned his love of geek hobbies into a legitimate career choice through a Media Studies degree that lead him into life as high school Media Studies teacher, which he considers to be possibly the best job ever as he gets to usher in the next generation of geeks. In between bouts in the classroom he works his hobbies around raising Funk, Jr., little geekling in the making along with his awesome wife.
Things I Spend Way to Much Time On: Batman, Scott Pilgrim, movies, PS3.
Random Fact: Hasn’t cut his hair since 1998. Never mind, I cut it. Still wearing that trilby though.
SUPER MARCEY
My name is Super Marcey (or Marcey on my days off), and I am a film addict.
Super Marcey discovered cinema around the age of 3 and hasn’t looked back. She watches films and writes about them (as well as for other awesome geek related stuff) as a profession. Marcey likes to get her views out there and hear back from people on them, whether they agree or disagree. She currently resides in Melbourne, Australia with a small nation of crazy geekdom. She also runs her film website (SuperMarcey.com) and writes for Arrow In The Head (News Editor/Columnist), Killer Film (Top 10’s/Features/Reviews) and More Horror (Reviews/Staff Blog), making her more of a professional writer than the rest of us put together.
Things I Spend Way Too Much Time On: Watching TV Shows, indulging in ‘awfully good’ cinema, collecting geek items, playing Super Mario games.
Random Fact: I have a collection of true crime documentaries and books.
DARKNITE 125
Random Fact: I was stuck on a broken elevator once with Ernest Borgnine.
APPA THE GYPSY
My name is Appa the Gypsy (or Corina, when I’m not registering accounts on websites).
Appa the Gypsy is a university student studying Arts and Media. She spends her days being educated on a slightly unhealthy mix of Film, Sound Technology, Theatre, Literature, and Creative Writing, and working at a supermarket in between all that. She plans to become a Screenwriter/Producer/Sound Editor/Novelist. It’s gonna be awesome!
Things I Spend Way Too Much Time On: Chairs, Youtube, Facebook, computers… the internet in general. And Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. And sleeping.
Random fact: I’ve never woken up in time to see a sunrise. I’ve only ever been still awake to see them.
RANDY
superheroes. She is the co-host of the video column WTF on
arrowinthehead.com and also writes for MoreHorror.com. She is very
excited to share with the House of Geekery and hopes people will enjoy
her contributions.
C. Aric Hanley, mostly known as Hedgie, is a seven-year-old trapped in a twenty-nine-year-old’s body. He writes the stories, draws the comics and teaches the children. An avid gamer and science fiction fan, he has a bedroom full of action figures, prefers Mac to Windows and knows way more Harry Potter spell names than anyone on the cusp of thirty has any business knowing. He’s also never lost at Pictionary.
Things I spend way too much time on: Lego, Minecraft, YouTube, Twitter, PS3
Random fact: My two favourite films are 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Breakfast Club
LEGENDARYSUIT
Random Fact: I actually have a degree in Criminal Justice
TheOriginalCinephile suffers from a severe case of having not seen anything. Having only gained an interest in film when turning 15 (two years ago) and being educated by G-Funk, he spent the last 2 years catching up. This has amounted to a collection of 300 blurays and hundreds more rentals, and no money left over. Currently studying Screen Production at university, Cinephile consistently pretends he knows what he’s doing while he balances really absurd scripts and really cliche’d ones.
Things He spends Way Too Much On: Writing scripts, collecting retro-gaming items and films, catching up to pop culture, pretentiously drinking coffee on campus.
Random Fact: He’s still never seen a Coppola, Leone or Scorcese film. This will be fixed soon.
Nathan is currently studying at degree in Film, and Video Game Design. He is a dedicated gamer whose life revolves around TV, Films and anything internet related. He spends most of his time working at a hardware store, procrastinating uni work and sleeping. One day he hopes to become a successful video game designer. His favourite film is ‘The Warriors’.
Things I Spend Way Too Much Time On: As mentioned before, TV Shows, Film, Video Games, The Internet, and of course sleep.
Random Fact: I still haven’t finished Portal 2.

Essentially spider man doesn’t have a weakness, it isn’t ever explored in the movies, he can only get severely low on energy. So hence Spiderman is invincible as opposed to the other superheroes. Allowing him to win any fight.
