8 Must-watch geek Valentine's Day videos

Valentine's Day is traditionally imagined as a holiday for romantics and smooth operators, and geeks are traditionally imagined as, well, not romantics or smooth operators. If pop culture is to be believed, only the cool kids were at the dances with their sweeties, while the rest of us were at home playing video games and avoiding love at all cost.

As with any stereotype, there's a germ of truth to this, but we know that geeks can reach the same heights of passion as anyone else -- sometimes, they just express it differently. And so, in honor of building understanding towards our community this Valentine's Day, we offer this collection of videos that will help you better understand the love between two geeks, or between a geek and a non-geek, or between a geek and ... some toys.
