Steampunk... Yay or Nay?

I'll admit I'm a fan of Steampunk. I know. I know. It condemns me to the bowels of Hell with all the other terminally geeky losers who enjoy neo-victorian fantasy, gears-to-nowhere and imaginary steam powered vehicles.

Steampunk Cake = Good











Steampunk R2-D2 = Awesome
