Geek Ink: Steve Peterson

Geek Ink: Steve Peterson

When I asked people to submit their tattoos for my article, I underestimated the response I would receive.  I now have a full inbox waiting to be posted up for the next 3 or 4 segments.  One submission that stood out above the rest was Steve Peterson’s.
I intentionally sought Steve out, after scouring the internet [...]

Tekken Japanese Trailer Looks Better

Tekken Japanese Trailer Looks Better

Yes, I’ve abandoned all expectations for any low-budget videogame-to-movie adaptations, but this little flick looks like it will be at least entertaining and fun. It’s looks to be more on the lines of Mortal Kombat and Dead or Alive compared to The Legend of Chun Li and Dragonball: Evolution.
Looks like most of the cast has [...]

Game Review: Heavy Rain Will Damper Your Spirit, But Is A Breath Of Fresh Air

Game Review: Heavy Rain Will Damper Your Spirit, But Is A Breath Of Fresh Air

There’s no doubt that Heavy Rain is an adventure game/interactive movie. If this isn’t your cup of tea, then I’m sorry to rain heavily on your parade. It is an involving, as it is intense, psychological thriller about the mysterious Origami Killer. You play as four different characters, trying to figure out clues and save [...]

Tech Review: Apple ipod Touch 8G

Tech Review: Apple ipod Touch 8G

Getting an ipod touch was probably the best gift I’ve ever gotten in my life. It’s advertised as a touch screen Mp3 player but it does so much more. If you have a wireless router (you can get a good linksys router for 50 bucks or so), you can get online with it [...]

Review: Michael Jackson’s Captain EO 3D Adventure Returns to Disneyland

Review: Michael Jackson’s Captain EO 3D Adventure Returns to Disneyland

I guess it is appropriate now to reopen Captain EO at Disneyland as a tribute for Michael Jackson after many fans have been asking Disneyland to bring it back. It reopened February 23, 2010 for a limited time, but I’m not sure how limited. For those that don’t know about Captain EO, it had a [...]

Geek Ink: Tattoos for the Nerdy and Geeky #1

Geek Ink: Tattoos for the Nerdy and Geeky #1

There is nothing more permanent or public like a Tattoo.  In the movie Eastern Promises with Viggo Mortensen, one character explains that “Tattoos tell the story of your life.”  People you’ve lost,  places you’ve lived, things you’ve loved, obstacles you’ve over come.  They are living, breathing art.
To the Japanese, tattooing represents the very highest level [...]

$1 Million Dollars – Comic Book That Is

$1 Million Dollars – Comic Book That Is

In this bad economy, nerds still have disposable income.
Action Comics #1, graded 8.0,  became the most expensive comic book ever, selling for $1 million dollars.  The price was high for this bad boy because it was issued in 1938 and the grade was pretty high.
I love my comics but I don’t care whether the issue [...]

Vintage Toy(s): Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Harley Quinn!

Vintage Toy(s): Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Harley Quinn!

From the original Batman: The Animated Series we have 2 versions of Poison Ivy. The original U.S. version and the Italian packaging. With the U.S. version being dated at 1993 and the Italian version dated at 1994, both packages have seen better days. However, they aren’t all that bad considering they are [...]

Bitch’in Toy(s): Batgirl and Blaster Batgirl!

Bitch’in Toy(s): Batgirl and Blaster Batgirl!

From the short-lived “The Batman” animated show, these are some hard figures to come by. Probably 1 in every 10 cases–it’s best to grab them when you see them due to the fact that they fetch big money in the secondary market.
First is the standard Batgirl figure that is detailed from the cartoon. [...]
