Geeky Costumes for Halloween

Halloween is one of the most creative times of the year for the geeks of the world

. In college dormitories, comic conventions, and basements everywhere, geeks trade ideas and wonder who will be crowned Best Costumed Geek this year.

Geeks of little imagination may decide to dress as their favorite old-school video game character, such as Mario, Link, or Pac-Man. The more discerning may opt for a beast or creature from Dungeons and Dragons or Magic: The Gathering. While these options are not bad, gamer-geek costumes are heavily frowned-upon by geek purists.

Geek purists may instead choose to depict a mathematical theme with friends, such as wearing t-shirts with numbers printed on them. When they line up in the correct order, they could be prime numbers, pi, or Einstein's famous mass-energy equivalence formula.

Overly-inventive geeks may decide to go all out and create intricate costumes of various the gadgets, from iPods to Blackberries. Give a creative geek a refrigerator box, a roll of duct tape, and some markers, and they will be entering the room sideways as the latest hand-held device. Old-school geeks might also employ this tactic, arriving as a Tandy2000 or antique Compaq.

No matter what a geek decides to wear for Halloween, you can be sure he or she will not be vying for the vampire fangs or Elvira wigs. Geeks are loyal to their loves, those being technology, games, and mathematics. Of course, there will always been the geek at every party who dressed up as a can of Mountain Dew, preferred drink of geeks everywhere!
