Wondercon 2009: Chuck Is a Gaming Geek On and Off Screen

GeekSugar — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 06:00:42 -0800

On Sunday, Buzz got the chance of a lifetime for any Chuck fan: she hung with the cast backstage and moderated the panel at this year's Wondercon! Since I don't watch the show on a regular basis (um, where have I been?!), I totally geeked-out when Adam Baldwin took the stage. He plays super spy John Casey in the show, but of course I (and apparently the rest of the audience) love him from his time on Firefly. But that wasn't the only surprise of the day: BSG's Number Six, Trisha Helfer, will be guest starring on a few new episodes, and Chuck star Zachary Levi is a total gaming nerd.

When asked about how similar he is to his character, Zachary started chatting about his gaming skills, how he plays Fear 2, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and how excited he is for Resident Evil 5 to hit store shelves. He also went off about how the controls on Street Fighter IV were a little too wonky for his liking. With his previous displays of geekiness at the TCAs, and now knowing that he's also a gamer, Zachary Levi may just be the dark horse that swipes the crown of Celeb Geek King from Ashton! He better watch out.

Chuck's Zachary Levi: Aggressively Geeky

GeekSugar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 06:00:22 -0700

I thought I knew how geeky Zachary Levi was, what with stories of Wii injuries and video game devotion, but it turns out that there is so much more tech dorkiness under the surface. Get ready to drool, geek lovers.

BuzzSugar was at the TCAs for deets on the new season of Chuck and got a little more geekery than she bargained for.

Exhibit A: Zachary whipped out his spankin' new iPhone and pulled up the Light Saber app to show his admirers the whoosh sound.
Exhibit B: He then showed everyone his iPhone wallpaper: the Nerd Herd logo from Chuck.
Exhibit C: He confirmed that he is, in fact, still a Mac.

Do gush in the comments.

Gossip Girl: What the Boys Are Carrying

GeekSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 04:01:12 -0700

Pop may be concerned with who the hottest guy is on Gossip Girl, but I have yet another way to judge them beyond their pretty faces: What gadgets they've got! As I mentioned earlier this season, all the characters have new cell phones, like Blair's new LG eNV2 and Jenny's HTC Touch, but the love wasn't limited to the ladies. The guys have new cells too, and this season they're used for situations as scandalous as the girls get into. Check out what the dudes are dialing! Photos courtesy of The CW
