Ask me a few years ago what I thought of the–at the time–new animated series The Batman and I would have said it was terrible, or maybe to a lesser extent that it was all right. Ask me today and I’ll reply with regret and some comments on how good it really is.

The Batman has really grown on me, not only do I appreciate the cartoon itself so much more than I had when it first came on, but I also love the action figures.

The Batman is based mostly upon the blockbuster live-action movie Batman Begins. It starts …

In recent news, the Anaheim Convention Center was trying to entice Comic-Con International into relocating their hugely popular event from the San Diego Convention Center. If this deal does go through, that would mean that Anaheim would now be hosting the event starting 2013. Comic-Con International has been in San Diego for 40 years. It’s like a getaway that’s still close to home for southern Californians. Here I have compiled a list of pros and cons for Comic-Con moving to Anaheim.

Pros

• Anaheim Convention Center has an exhibit space of 813,000 square feet, compared to San Diego’s 615701. That’s around 25%

Rachel Nichols, the sexy green skin cadet  from Star Trek and Scarlett from G.I.: Joe, has been cast as the main female lead for the Conan remake.  I loved Nichols in G.I.: Joe and she could probably pull off another tough but sensual character.  According to Latinoreview.com, the role is described as:

“Tamara is 18 to 24 years old, Caucasian or Middle Eastern, open to all ethnicities; beautiful, studious, correct, a novitiate of a Greek influenced monastery. A master of martial arts, she has been trained to be the Queen’s servant, bodyguard and best friend. She and many other …

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 for Geek Tattoos, I came upon his Zelda Windwaker back piece.  A few emails here and there, I finally got in contact with with Steve.  What he sent in was more than I could ask for .  It was like finding the Holy Grail of …

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 of artistic expression.  There is a museum in Japan where there are galleries of human skin on display, it’s that serious.

Every year when I go to conventions I notice more and more ink, and whats awesome about Geek Tattoos are that they’re such a …

Wanderlei Silva has a fight this Saturday against Michael Bisping in UFC 110. Where does he train? NERDSociety recently visited Wanderlei’s gym in Las Vegas, NV. Silva wasn’t there because he was cornering for one of his student’s fights. However, we were told that his training sessions are open to the public. For training, the price range is very affordable from $100 – $150 a month, depending on how many days a week one would like to train. He also has a full size cage, along with weights, and a high-altitude room for cardio training. Even though Silva wasn’t there, …

Here’s something fun we did with randomactstheater.com. We were able to get over 300 participants to freeze in Downtown Disney in Anaheim on January 23, 2010. Greatly inspired by the Improv Everywhere group and the London group. Enjoy!…

In this final part of collections we’ll talk about the negative aspects such as selling, loss and not being able to stop.

There are some great photos of collections and some information for you.

Selling: Why would someone sell something that they spent so much money and time on? There are a few reasons why.

1. They NEED money, and a good amount of it NOW. We either get so wrapped up in spending the money to collect things that we don’t realize the bills need to be paid too–it happens… Or emergencies where money is needed and this is the …
