Bethesda have announced something that might be the best thing since someone went “bread is just so darn delicious, I want it pre-cut, so I can gorge myself on more of it’s carby goodness sooner!” This September they will be releasing an Elder Scrolls Anthology for a price that doesn’t mean I have to sell…
I have a message for my fellow geeks and gamers. It’s not new or revolutionary. It’s a Call To Arms and I want you all to join in on this PVP battle. A good friend of mine once said “Games are the great leveler It doesn’t matter who you are or what you can do outside…
Usually an ‘Undistressed Damsel’ is a character from a Geeky universe. They’re usually someone fictional. But this week, I’m making an exception. This week, the ‘Undistressed Damsel’ are a bunch of damsels (and a dudesels, which is the boy version of damsel that I just made up right then, I’M LIKE SHAKESPEARE!) who are taking…
As you may have guessed from title, Flash Point Paradox centers around The Flash, who manages to also vibrate through time and create a paradox. All number of hilarious things are said and done! Right? Because it’s a cartoon and cartoons are always funny. Right? No. You are wrong. This movie is dark. Lights out,…
I’m going to be honest with you, I really don’t care too much for the ‘good’ guys and gals of Geekdom. You may have noticed that all of the Undistressed Damsels so far have been at best ‘chaotic neutral’ or just plain old ‘evil’. But when it comes to Undistressed Damsels, they’re not all bad,…
A site that has been dedicated to everything ‘blaster’, has closed it’s virtual doors and now I have a sad. Urban Taggers has been put to sleep. But it’s a happy sad. Let’s start from the beginning. Urban Taggers Is Saying Goodbye. Urban Taggers is, wait, was….was a site that was dedicated to blasters, but…
There comes a time, in every grown up Geek’s life when the pitter patter of little feet are no longer just made by that tiny robot army you made. They may not be your own, but it’s your sworn responsibility to help your friends raise them properly. It takes a village and our part in…
We’ve all dreamed of it. It’s the dream you have when you’re stuck in traffic, stuck in class, stuck in a tiny room with your Inbox filling up with menial tasks. It’s the dream you let yourself have, the one you craft, where you have the magical ability to create awesome and geeky things. Indy…
Given that her special figure was announced during the San Diego ComicCon sneak peek, it seems only fair to dedicate this week’s Undistressed Damsel to: The Baroness The Baroness Before there was 50 Shades of reasons to reel back from the name ‘Anastasia’ there was Anastasia Cisarovna AKA Anastasia De Cobray. Or, as most…
Dear American McGee’s Kickstarter, SHUT-UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! Thanks. American McGee’s Kickstarter Brings Alice Back That’s what you already be screaming at your monitors if you’ve already heard that American McGee has a venture on Kickstarter, that aims to bring Alice back. If you didn’t already know, good news everybody, we get the chance…
With all the distressed damsels out there, it seemed only fair to focus on the women in Geekdom that are much more concerned with saving themselves, that with scoring Prince Charming. This week- Cersei Lannister. Creator: George R.R. Martin, or as we call him in our house “The dude that just needs to finish the…
It could have been the second game to be Refused Classification, it could have been remembered as the one we weren’t allowed to have. Now, they’ll be remembered for whatever meme the words “Stimulants Out, Supplements In” creates. Awesome. State of Decay has been given R18+ classification in Australia, just by changing the name of…
Remember when we had Zombie Friday on Geek Insider? Wouldn’t it be cool if you could pretend prep for the end of the world EVERY day? But, on your phone because tin cans take up space? There’s an app for that. Quite a few apps, but the one I chose came in the form of…
Remember in the ‘L Word’ where they had that map of their connections? No? Okay, did you see/read ‘Coraline’? You know how the evil ‘Other Mother’ was all spidery and had a web? No? Sigh. Alright, well….Just….Just think of what a baby would look like, if it’s father was 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon and…
If you’ve ever heard the word ‘Tropes’, you probably know what I mean when I talk about ‘Damsels in Distress’ in video games. While there’s plenty of room for video game developers and companies to broaden their definition of what a woman is in a game (Example- Not just the NPC that works the computers),…
