About

Hi, there! Thank you for visiting NERDSHOCK HQ — a personal passion project dedicated to gaming culture & geeking out.

My name is Aleida Samallo (1984). I’m a Gamer, Geek & Digital Hermit. I live together with my partner and our two cats in one of the quiet northern provinces of The Netherlands. I love celebrating awesome movies, binge-worthy shows, delicious tunes & epic videogames.

I originally launched NERDSHOCK HQ at the start of 2013. Over the years the website changed from a lively blog to a static landing page. I always wanted to relaunch NERDSHOCK HQ. In 2024 I finally found the time to do so.

Be sure to check back in from time to time for fresh updates!

Love,
Aleida
