Sucker for sports flicks
Jason
Saturday
10:32 pm
Maybe its just the culture I was raised in that led me to this point. You know the watched too much television and played too many sports culture. Which point is that you ask? The point that for some reason I cannot tear myself away from movies based on sports.
Sure if the movie is just stick out loud horrible I might only watch it once, but I will watch it. So yes I will watch The Legend of Bagger Vance without a thought in the world. Heck Tin Cup ranks up there as one of my favorite movies. And for some reason, any movie Disney has made that is related ..read more

Big Bang Theory Without the Laugh Track
Christy
Friday
12:43 pm
Josh and I agree on a lot of geekery, but the Big Bang Theory isn’t one of them. It’s one of my favorite shows currently on television. As Josh has posted before, it’s the laugh track that bothers him. I came across these clips with the laugh track removed. The scenes fall a bit flat and less lighthearted, but I’m wondering it it’s because I’m already conditioned to expect the laugh track when watching the Big Bang Theory. I wonder if there had been no laugh track from the start, would I feel differently? What do you ..read more
Valentines For A Geek Girl

That time of chalky delicious conversation hearts is upon us. Hold up! They used to be delicious, but Necco decided to introduce new flavors for 2010. No sooner did they touch my tongue than I had to spit them out. I may be forced to make my own conversation circles from a roll of Necco Wafers. In spite of my conversation heart woes I have compiled a Valentine’s Day gift guide for the geek girl in your ..read more

The big letdown at the core of Mass Effect 2
Josh
Thursday
1:11 pm
In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m kind of a Mass Effect fan.
Hell, I even added N7 armor to my avatar up there. (See him? His awesome manliness crowds out Christy even as we speak — but don’t worry, it’s only temporary.)
I eagerly awaited the sequel. I even went to my first and last midnight launch event. I’ve been thoroughly and completely enjoying submersion into the Mass Effect universe again. It’s a delicious and real world, complete with every bit of sci-fi goodness I could possibly want. The game’s production values and voice acting are both top-notch.
But something has been gnawing at the edge of my consciousness. Some piece ..read more
Star Trek sneakers: Boldly going on foot

Wednesday

Yes I’m a 31-year-old wearing Star Trek themed shoes and I think they are awesome. They are probably the geekiest clothing accessory I have owned since my magnetic He-Man belt when I was 6. Yes, I have a closet full of geek themed t-shirts, but that’s different. Today the average joe or jane can get away with wearing a geek shirt. Hell, it’s what keeps Hot Topic in business besides the goth stuff. But shoes, that’s different.
The Airwalk Star Trek shoes designed by James Staple and put out by Payless have been out since the DVD release of the movie in November but the lack of needing new shoes ..read more
Disney’s Club 33: Exclusive Geekery
Christy
Wednesday
1:15 pm
I quite often defend my geek passion as the equivalent of sports fanatics. I like conventions, comics, movies and such for the same reasons people are fanatical about sports. Not only am I interested in the subject matter but I love the camaraderie of being surrounded by others that share my similar interests. This comparison was most clearly illustrated at DragonCon a few years back. There was a pivotal college football game scheduled in Atlanta the same weekend as DragonCon. While there was some hostility from the geeks when the football fans got a hold of the DragonCon hotel rates and booked out the rooms in record time, ..read more
Why Disney Hates Smart People: Exhibit A — Winnie The Pooh
Josh
Tuesday
2:21 pm
Editor’s Note: Let’s get one thing out of the way: I’m not one of those “Winnie the Pooh” people. I’ve never read “The Tao of Pooh,” I’ve never owned a Piglet sweatshirt or sweatpants with Eeyore’s name emblazoned across the ass in rhinestones. But, as the dad of two kids, I’ve certainly watched a lot of it. And I seem to be the only one who’s noticed Disney’s dastardly plot to eradicate intellect from the Hundred Acre Wood.
Disney has killed off Owl.
Apparently, I’m the only one who’s noticed this. For the past 6 years, I’ve been subjected to every Winnie The Pooh movie (and resulting TV series). I’ve watched the ..read more
