It’s amazing how a little bit of news can get all of fandom angry. When it was announced at Comic-con that the next Superman movie will actually be a Superman and Batman team-up film, people got extremely excited about it. Well, maybe except for Superman fans who wanted to see another solo adventure of The…
While my hobbies have generally taken a bashing by the public because they are harmful to children (ie. video games cause real life violence, objectionable images in comic books, etc.), there are some who have acknowledged the positives that they offer. While that’s all well and good, I think a lot of us don’t see…
While geek culture and fandom is still relatively niche to the mainstream, a lot of people are slowly embracing it. We’ve seen it with the recent popularity of superhero movies as well as television adaptions of geeky literary works such as Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. People like the late Steve Jobs are…
Everyone has things they want to do before they leave this world. We don’t want to have any regrets and, well, we want to feel like we achieved something in this lifetime. Hence, the bucket list was created. For those that don’t know what this is, a bucket list are the things you would want…
After almost 5 years of faithful service, my old Fat Playstation 3 is starting to die. It’s actually kind of depressing really. But, for most people, I’m pretty sure they don’t really get why I feel sad. I mean, it’s just a piece of plastic and electronics, right? And it’s pretty easy to just go…
Before I start off, I’m going to give myself a self-imposed “Teen” rating on this post because of violent and suggestive imagery and strong language. It’ll make sense as you read on. I’m a pretty easygoing guy. But if there’s one thing that irks me is when news outlets, lawyers and, well, the general public…
This year, we are finally starting up the 8th generation console wars. Nintendo started it with the release of the Wii U. Sony and Microsoft are joining the war later this year with the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, respectively. For some gamers, they think it was about time and the 7th generation should have…
The Evolution 2013 (EVO 2K13 for short) fighting game tournament happened over the weekend. And, honestly, this was probably one of the best tournaments so far. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, EVO is a gaming tournament that exclusively features fighting games. While there are other smaller tournaments out there, EVO…
Remember the 80’s? Yeah, I know I’m dating myself by saying that but the 80’s was actually a great time to be a kid. Not a geek. A kid. One of those reasons was the numerous cartoons that were showing during this time. He-Man. GI Joe. Transformers. MASK. Thundercats. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That’s just from…
Even though being a geek is kind of “cool” at this point in time, I find it hard to believe I still have to defend my geeky pastimes to a lot of people. Right now, my main hobby is playing video games. I do have a pretty healthy interest in toys, movies, sci-fi, fantasy, comics…
