A great many people think geekdom itself was spawned directly from science fiction films and comic books, but believe it or not, the true roots of geekdom go deeper and further than that. There were often indie ‘zines’ put out by local writers and artists to try and get their work featured and exposed to […]
Not sure if any of you recall, but last year, HBO worked out a deal with some rappers and had them drop a mix tape based around Game of Thrones. For the uber-geeks who don’t know what a mix tape is, it is basically an underground album, in this case, with all songs being based […]
Valentine’s Day is already here, geeks. For some of us it’ll just be another night spent crying into our Star Wars pillowcase. A lucky few will probably get laid. But for the rest of us, with just the right mix of charm and alcohol, we might actually convince someone to do the tongue tango. French […]
Considering that tomorrow is Valentine’s day and that 50 Shades of Grey was just released on the big screen (and apparently sucks big time,) here is the “Geeks are Sexy” version of the movie, one that should amuse you rather than… arouse you. rgb(39,39,39) => #272727 rgb(40,40,40) => #282828 rgb(41,41,41) => #292929 rgb(43,43,43) => #2b2b2b […]

Many have wondered, many have spoken about it, but few know. Can sleep deprivation get so bad that it actually kills someone? All I can tell you before you read the article is, if you have sleep deprivation, stop reading now. This is NOT going to bring you any peace of mind (which might be […]
There was a time when you could Google search something and related, topical tweets would come up in your search. Over time, this stopped (for business reasons far too complicated for my feeble mind to understand). But recent news that the two giants have met up and worked out their differences has resulted in some […]
How can anyone forget The Mountain from last season’s Game of Thrones. We’ll post no spoilers, so no worries, but we can say that the man lived up to the name. Played by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (no, I didn’t just sneeze), the actor is pretty much a mountain in real life, which he proved recently to […]
Did you know that Zachary Quinto can’t do the Vulcan salute so the crew from the recent Star Trek films had to glue his fingers together for the scenes where he used the iconic gesture. This is just one of 30 stories from behind the scenes of blockbusters featured in the most recent episode of […]
Breakups suck. That is something most people can universally agree upon. In our current world of social media it is even worse because, often, we wear our relationships on our sleeves through the photos and statuses we share. One man named Matthew Swarts had a bad breakup recently and found moving on difficult, so he […]
