Alexander Ovechkin(top) custom figure.  Original Ovechkin figure by McFarlane on the bottom.

I’m a technical person, so my creativity isn’t much.  Creativity is a talent that some people have and I definitely appreciate it.  I can analyze what looks good/bad but tell me to create a logo and I wouldn’t know where to start.  So why am I talking about creativity?  Because I’ve always appreciated what customizers do.  Customizers are fans who create/alter action figures based on what they want.  Mostly, they create figures that have not been released by toy companies.  These artists paint the figures, make head sculpts and …

It seems like MTV True Life is having a casting call for fellow nerds to be on a show called “I’m a Fan Boy/Girl.”  I’m trying to think if these type of shows are good for us or bad.  On the one hand, we’re getting featured on TV.  On the other hand, by being featured on TV, the show might have a different agenda and put fanboys on a bad light.

In any case, here’s the 411 from MTV True Life:
“TRUE LIFE: I’M A FAN BOY
Are you obsessed with comic books, anime, fantasy, or manga? Do you like to …

In the mid 1990’s horror was king for quite a while.  Thanks mainly to Scream (and to a lesser extent its two sequels), slasher films were back in vogue.  Kevin Williamson’s sharply funny and ground-breaking script for the original Scream film combined with Wes Craven’s stylish direction made slasher films cool again.  Williamson himself scripted the above-average I Know What You Did Last Summer, which became a sleeper hit due to some clever marketing and a popular young cast of Gen X favorites.  There were other decent slasher films during that cycle (Urban Legend comes to mind) but after that horror …

Ok, I finished the game a while ago and I finally got a chance to review this exclusive PS3 title.  After playing Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, I can say that it’s a fun solid game from beginning to end.

You play as Nathan Drake, a decendent of Sir Francis Drake, who is on an expedition to uncover his ancestor’s secret and the treasures of El Dorado.  You’re joined up with Elena Fisher, a journalist, and Victor “Sully” Sullivan, an old friend who’s in debt with the wrong crowd.…

 

Calling all cosplayers!

Has this ever happened to you? You’re getting ready to go to con.  You probably have an outfit ready, stored safely somewhere, let’s say in a little storage room in the backyard.  It’s pretty dark in there too, with spider webs all over the area.  Luckily, you wrapped your outfit inside a protective trash bag.  You take out your flashlight, and while reaching for your outfit, you drop the flashlight upon seeing the monstrosity you’ve just witnessed.

The outfit was a complete mess.

Kimbo Slice is all HYPE! He has knockout power and that’s about it. In his last fight, he almost lost to a crappy fighter named James Thompson. Thank goodness the ref was told by the promoter to help Kimbo at all costs. Thompson was punching Kimbo for about 45 seconds on the ground. Kimbo was taking the hits and unintelligently defending himself. But the ref let the fight continue and Kimbo got “saved by the bell”. Even Kimbo’s trainer, the legendary Bas Rutten, told the press it should have been stopped.

Look, I don’t hate Kimbo. It seems like he’s a …

Yeah, I know I’m behind on this, but I just played it, so sue me.  Now let’s get started shall we.
