  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt1 Review

    Every time a new Harry Potter movie comes out I go through the standard stages of movie nerdom.  Excitement, Concern, Extreme Anticipation, Fear, Joygasm. An explanation for those not accustomed: Excitement at the prospect of the movie itself and how awesome it’s going to be.  Concern that it’s going to be somehow lacking and not…

  • Final Fantasy: Challenge Accepted

    When it comes to video games, I sadly lose just a little of my nerd cred.  That’s not to say I don’t play video games. I do. It’s that I usually love the original and notsomuch the follow ups.  Sonic the Hedgehog = win! Sonic and Knuckles = meh. So when Chris, a frequent reader, did a…

  • I ain’t afraid of no ghosts!

    I know I’ve made a big to-do about how Zombies freak me out and how I’ve had to institute a self-ban of “The Walking Dead” and all that fun, f’d up stuff.  But they really are the only thing that freaks me out (ok, that’s a sort of lie, I’m a little freaked out by…

    I was sitting at my desk today and for some reason I started contemplating the Cold War and where we stand in our relationship with various foreign entities. Naturally, that made me think of Unicorn. Oh, Cold War, along with threat of nuclear attack you brought along a vast array of Superheroes and Supervillains designed…

  • Halloween costume winner

    It was neck and neck between the Star Trek Starfleet uniform and Rafael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but ultimately, Star Trek edged out TMNT.  Which is apparently a good thing after reading this article: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20021081-1.html I know I said I was thinking about getting the new/old uniform but, well, time is short and I…

  • I met Dan Aykroyd on Saturday

    This is cool for many reasons. It’s Dan Aykroyd Ghostbusters 3 is really starting to make headway My friend and fellow nerd, Hayden, is probably the biggest Ghostbusters geek in California, if not the country Ghostbusters 3 is really starting to make headway There’s a chance he’s going to put Hayden to work His vodka,…
