Is 3D technology a gimmick presented by the film industry to make more money? Well the answer to that question would depend on who you ask. The glasses wielding technology has definitely cost us at the ticket counter, but in terms of the technology itself, there is not one definitive answer. When “Avatar” took the…
The Walking Dead, despite internet squabbling, is an incredibly intense show that is unlike anything else on television right now. Main characters die constantly and no one is safe. This makes hardcore moments that much more meaningful. Here are some of the most hardcore and intense moments from The Walking Dead. Obviously, there are spoilers…

Comic books are a medium, not a genre. Just like movies or paintings, what may seem popular to some may be completely foreign to others. Trying to find books that nobody’s heard of is difficult; if they didn’t have at least a small cult following, we probably wouldn’t be hearing about them. The best way…
Back to the Future Part II sent us to 2015 for a glimpse of what the future would hold. In 1989, when the film was released, all these fancy gadgets seemed so crazy and off the wall they could only happen in a fictitious version of the future. Now that we are approaching the real…
The first commercial Android handset, the HTC Dream (also known as the T-Mobile G1) paved the way for what came after it, yet by current standards it seems comically non-functional despite only being a little over 5 years old. The smartphone and tablet industry advances so rapidly that a flagship becomes a mid-range option after…
These games appeal to non-gamers because they have simple premises, low pressure, easy learning curves, and don’t require a huge time commitment. Another good feature is fun co-op for parties or hangout time. Most of these games are either puzzles, party games, or platformers with a few sandbox games thrown in. It’s possible that if…
Netflix is the ultimate way to catch up on all of your Geekery! For anyone who has been resisting getting Netflix (why are you here?), I should point out that you don’t need to watch on your computer. You can use a mobile device and on your TV with a game console or a streaming…
Obviously, if you’re reading this, you are one of two things: one half of a geek couple looking to spice up your usual hum drum geeky Friday night routine OR you are trying to woo a certain special geek with hopes of settling into a usual hum drum geeky Friday night routine. Here are a…
For years, we’ve seen a wide array of bags and cases designed especially for console gamers to transport their consoles and gear. While consoles are more portable and are taken from place to place more often than a PC and its accessories, there has never been a really high quality way for PC gamers to…
The castle rests on a distant hill, as it has for centuries. Balefully as you approach, you mouth its name – “Hamson.” Standing there in front of the gate is a figure your family has come to know well – countless ancestors have died on these grounds, trying to lift the curse that befell both…
For those of you who have been living under a rock, Batman: Arkham Origins recently swooped onto shop shelves and into disc trays bringing us the prequel to the Arkham series that no one really asked for. So without further ado, let’s take a look into the game. (Spoilers! Duh!) Gotham’s Savior or Bad Joke?…
Anodyne is sort of what I’d imagine The Legend of Zelda would look like if it were designed by Sigmund Freud. Players step into the shoes–and the mind–of Young, a bespectacled protagonist in a white coat. Young has been tasked with exploring the far reaches of his subconscious mind, traveling to a wide array of…
If you have an extra $20,000.00 to spare, feel free to buy the entire Invisible Man Kit, available from Optics Planet. The video “advertisement” on the Optics Planet website made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. Think of the acting from one of those upside down tomato basket commercials, and then…
