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 [...]

MTV’s True Life: I’m a Fan Boy/Girl

Posted by John Spartan on 08 28th, 2008 | 6 responses

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 [...]

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.

Rant Of The Week – Kimbo Slice

Posted by Cricket on 08 20th, 2008 | 11 responses

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 [...]
