The Social Aspect
But just around the opposite side of these busy streets filled with cafes and restaurants, there is a little secret. Well, the Scorpio Geek Bar has been established, a safe haven to the technical hardcore gamers among us and simply those whom are nerds at heart. It's not just a bar, it's the social epicenter of kindred spirits, celebrating their love of technology science - fiction and fantasy.
The Vibe: Eye Candy for Nerds
Stepping through the doors of the Scorpio Geek Bar transports you to another geek-made universe. As you step in the door, the atmosphere hits you: irresistibly inviting and unapologetically geeky. Posters from classic science - fiction blockbusters line the walls like a gallery. Whether from the far - flung intergalactic tales of 'Star Wars,' the future - dystopian world of 'Blade Runner' (short for 'Query'). or the time - traveling fantasies of 'Back to the Future,' these posters evoke both nostalgia and wonder. Throw in some of the large vividly - painted murals of our favourite video game characters, from Mario the ever - reliable plumber to Hyrule hero Link, and the main visual landscape becomes a celebration of the gaming culture. Light reflected strips of every color of the rainbow through a neat frame of creative neon tubes, adding a small note of futurism to the otherworldly ambiance of the bar. The real bar, a thing of beauty, is designed to resemble a spaceship control panel. If it looks great - buttons and lights sparkle across its exterior, and not just to be aesthetically pleasing, but to make you feel more like a player in SimCity - that's all intentional. In the middle is a sheltered area with plush couches and chairs. The bits are clever-- some are designed to look like the dapper seats used by the astronauts aboard the USS Enterprises ship in the movie "Star Trek," so that patrons can feel at complete ease and wear fashionable styles amidst the ideas of high-flying outer space adventures. All around the bar display cases are cabinets filled with collectibles. Anime action figures, each a labor-intensive two- or three-dimensional rendering of a favorite character, sit on shelves beside limited - edition comic books, the covers of which are miniature works of art. It inspires conversations about the evolution of technology as vintage gaming consoles and one - of a kind - early - generation smartphones sit on glass cabinets alongside rare pieces of tech memorabilia. It's not uncommon to see groups of patrons gathered around these cases, debating the worth and historical significance of each item.

At the end of the hackathon teams will demo their projects on stage. Its a time of anticipation and excitement as they share their toil and innovation.
