Fandom is argued, tested and intimate to many people. If you don't think so, just spend a day in the CBM comment section. Machinima's newest show FYI (preview below) analyzes the each of the geeky subcultures and what drives them. Such topics discussed are Doomsday, Internet Cats, Trolling and many more. Hopefully they'll delve into the DC vs Marvel arguement at some point and hopefully soon, as that is a topic that comes up almost daily on CBM and is never fully understood by those who just like a good action packed film with superheroes in it.
Comics isn't the only subculture that will be explored in FYI, as the first few episodes dive into Presidential hopefuls Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Don't understand how one geek could possibly be so infatuated with something...? FYI has got you covered.
For video game side of FYI. Head on over to the newly designed
GameFragger and see what makes gamers tick over there!
