E3 2011: Brothers in Arms: Furious 4
Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 is a difficult game to describe. Thom took a shot and described it as Hogan’s Heroes meets Inglourious Basterds. Wait…that wasn’t very difficult at all. That pretty much nails it, actually. It’s gory, violent, and over the top like Inglourious Basters, and it’s fucking funny like Hogan’s Heroes. As a side note, I feel comfortable swea...[Read More]
E3 2011: Star Trek
I’m going to let you all in on a little secret: I love Star Trek. I’m going to let you all in on another little secret: Kirk is better than Picard. Picard has his merits, I won’t argue that. He’s #2 in the Captain rankings, after all. He’s just not Captain James Tiberius Kirk. Kirk and Spock represent one of the best dichotomous relationships in science fiction, and a...[Read More]
Review: Universal Gadget Wrist Charger
Mobile technology is, quite frankly, one of the scientific advancements I am most thankful for. We are living in Star Trek (minus warp drive and sexy green women), and when I sit back and think about that, I am simply amazed at how far we have come in such a short time. Now, for the love of Trelane, science me up a new battery technology to keep my devices running longer! As I await that next leap...[Read More]
George Takei for Spider-Man?
I love George Takei. Not only is he a legend, but he is absolutely hilarious. Regardless if you agree with his lifestyle choices or not (go George!), you really can’t deny the impact he has had on geek culture. While he will forever be remembered for his role in the original Star Trek as Hikaru Sulu, it appears as if George is wanting to take on a role where he can be a webslinger.
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 005 – “Mmm, beefy!”
A milestone has been hit! The fifth episode of the groundbreaking podcast Marooners’ Talk, titled “Mmm, beefy!”, is complete and available for your listening consumption below and, either sometime today or tomorrow, on iTunes! Of course, if you’ve already subscribed on iTunes, you don’t have to worry about continually checking!
George Takei is coming to Big Bang Theory!
I love The Big Bang Theory. Chris loves The Big Bang Theory. We watch it religiously every week when new episodes are on, and can’t wait for its return on its new Thursday time slot starting on September 23rd at 8:00. So far we’ve had Evil Wil Wheaton, the amazing Stan Lee, and others, but nothing could prepare us for the gloriousness of George Takei.
Leonard Nimoy Explores ‘Secret Selves’
Famous Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy has done it again. No, he has not been featured in yet another Star Trek film as pointy eared Vulcan, Spock. Mr. Nimoy has done it again by releasing a new photography series, long awaited by fans of both his art and film, to be featured this weekend at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
Lord of the Rings: Online is Being Set Free
I was never bit by the MMORPG bug in the way most people are. I tried World of Warcraft for a month or two, but eventually got tired of paying a monthly subscription fee just to grind a character. I only started World of Warcraft in the first place because there was a promotion for a free week of play, and I wanted to see what all the hubbub was about. Since that time, I haven’t touched a...[Read More]
Star Trek
I had a conversation earlier this evening with one of my mom’s cousins, who was born and raised in Iran. We were sitting in my mom’s office, working on a post, when he came in and sat down to chat with us. Mom’s office used to be my bedroom, and some of my posessions still adorn its walls, such as my original cast Star Trek sketch. Looking at the sketch, he brought up that some...[Read More]
