It sounds like a cliché but boy, time flies. We’re about to say goodbye to April and let’s be honest here, we hate it! Be that as it may, life has to go on. Even though we tend to feel bored to bits sitting in our office, it’s news like these (read below) that spruce up…
Does anyone else enjoy a carefree Saturday morning only consisting of eating endless bowls of cereal, pajama pants and, the best part, black and white television series, such as I Love Lucy (1951-1957), I Dream of Jeannie (1965-1970), and Abbott and Costello. While televisions made their first appearance in the late 1940s, William “Bud” Abbott…
Hey guys, remember last week when Joffrey died? How about that? I half expected him to reanimate this week as an undead version of his already unbearable self. But that didn’t happen… yet. After such an explosive ending last week, I couldn’t possibly imagine how the show would keep up the momentum. Well I heard…
There’s absolutely one thing a nerd cannot resist: math. Derivatives, y-intercepts and horizontal asymptotes are, just to name a few, characteristics of the beloved subject that some may find dreadful, tedious, and even more difficult than life itself. Although, is it possible to compare mathematics side by side with something that is, seemingly, on the…
In this age of instant gratification and rampant consumerism, it is we, the geeks, who suffer most. Because we are so hopelessly obsessed with our media, we are hit hardest by having to wait for new stuff to come out.

This tantalizing topic invites us to explore the thin veil between…
Jerks on the Internet, who spoiled the Game Of Thrones episodes for their friends, consider yourselves on notice. Game of Thrones is arguably the biggest television series that our eyes have ever wanted to kiss. It’s decadent, it’s expansive, it’s not as good as the books, but nothing ever is. The casting has been superb,…
Our tubby, honey-loving anthropomorphic pal, Winnie the Pooh, has had a place in every young child’s heart since its very first appearance in When We Were Young (1924). This Disney-adapted teddy bear, alongside Eeyore, Tigger, and Piglet, thrive in the Hundred Acre Wood, located in Ashdown Forest, Sussex, England, where they play and take life…
With all the reboots, remakes, sequels, and spinoffs finding their way into existence, it was only a matter of time before the already remade sci-fi classic Battlestar Galactica gets yet another treatment. Film studios firmly believe in sticking with what they know, and while I am usually appalled at Hollywood’s dwindling creativity and increasing focus…
Have you ever wanted something to happen so badly but then you were ultimately left unfulfilled when it finally did? That’s me with the end result of this week’s episode of “Game of Thrones,” titled “The Lion and the Rose.” Spoilers are on the way if you haven’t watched yet. It’s a classic whodunit, but…
Doctor Who, the 1960’s sci-fi TV show about a time traveling alien and his many companions, is a show that often sparks debate amongst its fans. Its scope is so wide and varied because over its more than fifty year run it has had dozens of writers, more than a few show-runners, directors galore, and…
The first issue in a comic book series is the most important. Yes, character development. Yes, intricate storylines. Yes, artwork that continues to amaze. Those are all important things that don’t happen in the first issue because you need time to develop, to grow and to continue. The first issue has nothing to build on,…
We all know the legendary Michael Jackson is a smooth criminal, leaving blood on the dance floor, but was he as smooth as we thought he was? Jackson has showcased his most memorable moves, such as the Thriller choreography and the remarkable moonwalk, in self-directed and self-choreographed videos (i.e. Thriller, in partnership with Michael Peters…
