You may have added pumpkin spice to everything you’re eating and drinking, but I’ve got some geeky spice to add to your weekend! (Not my strongest opener,  I’ll grant you. I just got back from the dentist. I’m traumatized; cut me some slack!) Edgar Wright screened test footage for his finally confirmed Ant-Man. Thanks to talented Deviantartist Samurai Jack, who [...]

I am a concert goer, a ticket purchaser, and a live music supporter. I have been to numerous concerts. Some by bands you have heard of; some your parents have heard of; some only I have heard of (those shows were kinda weird). I have seen groups and artists from a large number of genres. I have been to various venues– some [...]

Google is turning 14 today! I don’t remember what I got for my fourteenth birthday. Let’s see, I was in…um…9th grade? Or about to go into 9th grade, I guess. I was probably too cool for My Little Ponies and Barbies by that point. So, what will Google get for #14? I’m guessing the Space Time Continuum. I mean, it’s already a [...]

Gamers and DMs are constantly looking for ways to make running and facilitating their games easier. As a DM, I love focusing more on plot than mechanics, so tools that can cut down on time spent building characters or looking up rules can be invaluable. I’ve been using Hero Lab by Lonewolf Development for a couple months. I’ve bought the [...]

[Writer's note: In honor of the approaching spooky holiday, I thought it fitting to write a Halloween-themed article. More than likely, you're gonna see a lot of these from me as my favorite holiday gets closer. Get ready for some sweet, sweet, Halloween goodness!] By “Halloween” Families, I mean the celluloid families that embody the spirit of the season (and [...]

Last week I had some words about what we can take away George R. R. Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire series concerning political power. Read Part 1 That’s what these books are really about after all. It occurred to me that in the first two books (and most of the 3rd and 4th) King’s Landing is the only city where [...]

By the time I’d finally gotten around to watching the music video for Korean rapper Psy’s surprise hit “Gangnam Style,” it had more than 270 million views. I usually consider myself a tastemaker (For the two people that consider me cutting edge. Those people are my mother and grandmother.), but when it comes to the YouTube and the videos thereon, [...]

My house has one TV, and my laptop isn’t the greatest gaming device in the history of mankind. So when my wife is watching TV shows, I generally depend on flash games on the Internet to help me scratch my gaming itch. Here are a few of my current favorites: 1. Hero Mages (heromages.com) Hero Mages is a strategy miniatures [...]

Bob Dylan. The king of song writing. For five decades (just professionally) this guy has been basically musical God. With trillions of fans, an uncountable amount of awards, and 37 albums- that last one wasn’t a joke- the baby born Zimmerman is one of the most accomplished performers alive. His latest album, Tempest, is just one in a long line [...]

This is a movie. And it has the best trailer ever. If you love kung fu movies, do yourself a favor and watch it. That is all.

It feels like autumn. The pumpkin beer is filling my Kroger, the pumpkin lattes are filling my hands, and the movie theaters are devoid of anything I’d remotely want to see. To fill this empty space in your entertainment hearts, I’m back with a week’s worth of Internety goodness. In a gift only Sheldon Cooper could truly appreciate, The Mary [...]

I think I probably watch too much television. It’s kinda hard not to, though. With so many good and promising new shows on TV these days (even on the networks, shockingly enough), it’s difficult not to pay attention…or, at least not to pack up the old DVR like a fat kid at a cake buffet. (What? They don’t have cake [...]

While scouring the Internet for awesome stuff, I ran across this neat little thing, Loot Crate, and if you have a dork in your life that you can’t ever seem to buy the right gift for, or if you’re a geek looking for something awesome to drop that extra cash on, this might be the holy grail. Here’s how it [...]

Illustrator Kerrith Johnson wants to use art to remove obstacles to cultural understanding. It’s a pretty giant take for pen and ink and pixels. But his recently viral “Believe Series” has inspired, excited, and seems to prove that the artist’s reach doesn’t exceed his grasp. Taking up where the tagline for the movie Superman left off, “Believe a man can [...]

Three years ago, Gearbox Software introduced gamers to the world of Pandora in the first person RPG Borderlands. Two days ago, I went back to Pandora in Borderlands 2, and I don’t think I want to come back from it. The opening cinematic of the game introduces players to a little bit of plot background and the four new Vault Hunter [...]

I’ve been rereading George R. R. Martin’s epic A Song Of Ice and Fire (ASOIF) series for the last month or so. My current job puts me in 12 hour days with little spare time to speak of, so when I’m not working, I’m either reading George “Deuce Rs” Martin or listening to it on Audible. I’m sure this is why it’s [...]

Defeated the Daleks? Clobbered the Cylons? Who really needs a reason to make a cocktail? Instead of watching a sci-fi marathon alone with your dog/cat/lizard, invite friends over for geek inspired cocktails. Doctor Who, Firefly, Battlestar Galactic and Star Trek are my favorite sci-fi TV foursome, and I picked these four cocktails to inspire your next sci-fi themed party. Sonic [...]

A new trailer for the upcoming The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has been released! It really doesn’t need any kind of introduction other than: WATCH IT! The release date is scheduled for Dec. 14, 2012. (UPDATE) Also, check out this sweet “Create Your Own Version” feature on The Hobbit‘s website! In the comments, tell me which ending you chose, so [...]

I know that it’s not exactly cool to be a fan of Angry Birds or casual gaming in general, but I don’t care; I’m a fan. For a quick game anytime I need it (like waiting at the doctor’s office), Angry Birds Space is probably my go-to game. However, that might be about to change with Rovio’s newest game, Bad [...]

I LOVE The Voice! And if you would’ve asked me a couple of years ago, I don’t think I would’ve said the same thing. I didn’t really think anything of this show until last season when my girlfriend convinced me to watch it. Despite what some might think of it, maybe writing it off as just another lame competition show, [...]
