Bree — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:58:27 +0000

We’ve heard about these two books weeks ago, but now we’re finally getting to see the cover art for DC’s World’s Finest by George Perez, and a variant cover for Earth 2 by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado. If you’re just discovering the existence of these books, they’re the first two titles to prove DC [...]

Paper Dolls Aren’t Just For Girls

Bree — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:48:55 +0000

I first saw these paper dolls yesterday on Craft’s website, where they showed the Breaking Bad set. I’ve never watched the show, so I didn’t pay it much attention. However, today, after visiting the creator, Kyle Hilton’s Tumblr I saw a set that piqued my interest… a Drive Set! Yes, I can now have my [...]

Bree — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:30:34 +0000

Ain’t It Pretty is a showcase of stellar artwork from a variety of artists with a focus on a specific subject and since we’re close to Valentine’s Day I wanted to focus on love, heart-ache and everything inbetween.

It’s Not Psychonauts 2, but…

Kim — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:30:47 +0000

Earlier this week, the internet teased us all with the possibility of there being a sequel to the insanely popular cross platform adventure game, Psychonauts. The creator of Minecraft, over Twitter, messaged Tim Schafer and made him an offer. While it might have been turned down, the head of Double Fine Productions is already well [...]

G.I. Joe Retaliation Trailers

Kim — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:30:24 +0000

I never saw the first film, to be perfectly honest the whole thing made me cringe, made my childhood memories of watching the television scream in terror. What’s surprising, is how badly I want to see the sequel. It was about a month ago when the first trailer blasted into my eyeballs while I was [...]

The Walking Dead Returns

Kim — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:30:37 +0000

The first half of the second season of AMC’s The Walking Dead ended with a big bang (literally) and now fans are wondering how the show will progress from here. This Sunday, the second half kicks off and interviews across the board have revealed that it will in fact have a lot more action. Members [...]

Shannon — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:51:52 +0000

Just like Fight Club, Vegas, and other hive of senseless gratification, the Internet has it’s own set of rules. The 34th rule is this: “There is porn of it. No exceptions”. You’re about to discover just how true that statement is. Welcome one and all to the very first of my Rule 34 posts, something [...]

Modern Shakespeare

Kim — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:09:09 +0000

We’ve all had to suffer through the awful spelling and endless grammatical errors of lesser beings on various social media websites. So what happens when a group of adults get together and perform one of these conversations live, videotape it and plaster it on Youtube? The following is a dramatic reenactment of a conversation that [...]

From the Darkness

Kim — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:32:58 +0000

Yesterday, on his Twitter account, Clive Barker offered his beloved fans an explanation for a short absence. Where was the acclaimed horror author? Apparently, he had been in a coma after bacteria sent his body into shock after a visit to the dentist. Here’s the message that was posted over several tweets: “My friends, Clive [...]

The Amazing Spider-Man Trailer #2

Kim — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:26:25 +0000

There are a lot of comic book inspired films coming out this year, but the majority of the hype seems to be revolving around the final chapter of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and Joss Whedon’s helming The Avengers. What’s being left in the cold is the retelling of our beloved wisecracking hero in [...]

Word Nerd in the Workplace, Part I: Yes, This Stuff is Important

Toria — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:22:16 +0000

I’m guessing that for the majority of the people reading this, business emails aren’t something you think about too often. This could be because you never have to send them, never receive them, or both. For those of you who are in a position that requires communicating on a business level, this article will either [...]

Being Human UK Edition

Kim — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:02:50 +0000

It’s a pretty exciting time for supernatural and horror fans, being that the television industry has become overrun with vampires, werewolves and witches (Oh my!). Is it easy to pinpoint what started it all? Surely the success of shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Charmed were the frontrunners in the early 90s, but [...]

It has been revealed that Psychonauts 2 might be funded by Markus ‘Notch’ Persson (the creator of Minecraft) Notch tweeted Double Fine’s Tim Schafer earlier today with the simple message: “Let’s make Psychonauts 2 happen.” This comes after Schaffer interviews where he has stated that he would -love- to make the sequel to the insanely [...]

The Greatest Show That Never Was

Brendon — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:51:33 +0000

Space Stallions is my new favorite cartoon. The only problem is, it’s not real. I want it. Real bad. I want full seasons, DVDs, a toy line, and PSAs. I’m serious. I have tens of dollars to give to make this happen. Also, here’s the theme song by itself because it is quite possibly the [...]

Episode 34: Hanging Out with Adam WarRock

Bree — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:50:33 +0000

Adam WarRock is a Nerd-rapper and a very busy one at that. He’s about to release a new album on February 13th, then hit the road for a West Coast tour, so we were very lucky to have him take some time to chat with us about his music, comics and nerdiness in general. Buy [...]

The Book is Definitely Better

Bree — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:37:29 +0000

With the Hunger Games movie arriving in March, it seems like everyone, their mom and probably the dog are picking up the book. This phenomenon also effected the Harry Potter series, turning it into one of the highest grossing film & book franchises of all time. The same can be said of Twilight, but I’d [...]

Reeker

Kim — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:47:54 +0000

Everyone loves a good mindfuck film. The Sixth Sense. Identity. Black Swan. Memento. When done well, they’re the type of movies that will leave you guessing until the very last moment, sometimes even well after the credits. They’re the perfect striptease, flashing just the right amount of skin to keep us all drooling all over [...]

Identity Crisis: DC & Oni Press Change Face

Bree — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:44:09 +0000

In the comic book world, the last two week have been filled with debates about the new DC Comics logo. Some people love it; some, like myself, find the logo stylish, but unfitting to the comic industry, but the majority seem to absolutely hate it. Today it’s Oni Press’ turn to show off their new [...]

And the Snubs Are…

Shannon — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:43:54 +0000

The Academy Awards are my ‘bad boyfriend’ relationship. I’m always excited to see him, regardless of how many times he’s broken my heart in the past. He teases me with flashes of brilliance and promises he doesn’t intend to keep. Every year he lures me into thinking he’s changed and every year he stubbornly doesn’t. [...]

FEAST

Kim — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:00:08 +0000

The whole zombie genre is getting tired as of late, and sadly this isn’t limited to the film industry. Books, comics, television and video games have been overcome by the horde of the walking dead. Thankfully this week’s movie has nothing to do with the shuffling corpses with a craving for brains, but I can [...]
