Winter has hit us hard this year. Right now, we’re trapped in our house with 8 inches of snow outside, and more coming down every second. Luckily, our friends all live on the block, so we’re heading to their house later for a round of games by the fire place. With so many bad games…
Are you stuck at home, unable to attend work or school because of two inches of snow your city knew in advance was coming but still made no effort to prepare for? Did you total your car in the strange fluffy white stuff you’d heard rumors of but had never before seen in your sunny,…
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and with it comes both the anxiety of having to plan a romantic and memorable night with that special someone and the dread of having to find something to do by yourself.

This song was actually written and performed in 1965 as a b-side single which failed to make the charts. The song was re-recorded in 1981 by Soft…
As film, television, music, and video game lovers we tend to collect tons of memorabilia over time. Action figures, cool gadgets, DVDs and the king of all geek stuff, our posters. For many, the poster was our first tiptoe into the world of obsessive collecting. Maybe it started with an Animaniacs poster as a child…
Food. It’s great, right? There’s really nothing better, unless you count sleep or maybe how it feels to beat a new video game for the first time or discover a new favorite TV show. Logically, then, food when combined with favorite video games or TV shows will be even more awesome. Here are ten recipes…

If you’re anything like me, you often find yourself seated in front of your television, craving a tasty snack following a long day of phone calls and paperwork.

Another gift-giving holiday approaches! For the geeks out there, finding that perfect present can be a torturous endeavor, often ending in failure. I find loads of awesome things I know my friends would love, but they are just way too pricey for my shallow pockets. In my searches, I have stumbled across a good collection…
Do you remember in high school, all the extracurriculars we had to put ourselves through just so colleges would pretend to notice us? Remember those few after-school activities everyone fought to be part of? Those were the really fun ones that got you out of school for a day (or even a whole week) and…
Diligence, discipline, and self-control; all qualities I lack, for the most part. I work best in heady chunks, urged along by my desperate fear of failure and the rumbling momentum of oncoming wordy outpourings. Indeed, once my brain gets up to speed and my fingers start punching the keys, it’s dangerous to stop. Still, it’s…
