Teen/Rocker/Geek Activities in Dublin

Hi everyone, I need some recommendations.

My little brother is coming to stay with me for a few days in the city centre from today until Wednesday evening. I know there's loads to keep kids happy around Dublin but he's now hit that age (13) where kids stuff is most definitely NOT cool anymore.

So I'm looking for ideas on what to do with him while he's here. He's into metal and rock music, video games, nerdy/geeky stuff. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Science Gallery / Museum in Dublin (Trinity) is pretty cool.

There's a couple of cool small shops in Georges St arcade that he might like.
Skateboard parks. There's a couple of them around
Movies? Not sure if anything is on.

Throw him some cash & push him in the door of Sub City, maybe

If he's Studio Ghibli geeky - Spirited Away is on in the Lighthouse (and you could go for BBQ next door or to Jo'Burger).
