WoW addicts will be happy to know that there’s a way to take your addiction to the road. At least that’s what is alleged. Apparently it’s possible to run World of Warcraft on the iPad via Dave Perry’s non-commercial (yet) Gaikai game streaming service, which somehow bypasses Apple’s imprisonment of Flash and combines Java, Flash and Silverlight to create a ...

LEGO has made official film-branded minifigs, such as Star Wars and even Toy Story, but they have yet to delve into the world of video gaming, which is actually sort of a mystery. So what are we geeks forced to resort to? Buying custom video game minifigs created by other geeks. These gaming minifigs by assorted artists can be found ...

While fleshlights and real dolls might have changed the way we looked at self-satisfaction, there’s never really been a sexually provocative product geared specifically to us geeks. And while Kasey McMahon’s self-portrait might not be the most delicate or pain-free renditions of sexual objects, it’s still a pretty blatant form of geek pr0n no matter how you look at it. ...

A perfectly baked cupcake can do strange things to a man. For instance, I hadn’t thought about cupcakes in months before I saw this video and now it feels as though my one existential goal is to get a cupcake in my belly by any means necessary. If you dug this post’s headline, you’ll love the corresponding video. Yes, it ...

As a professional blogger, I have about as much physical activity as your vacuum cleaner (not very much). I get to lounge around in my pajamas all day and read cool shit on the internet.

There appears to be a budding Dr. Mengele in the house, though this time Gummi Bears are the victims of the heinous experimentation. The lengths at which some people are willing to go in the name of science is sickening. All these poor, innocent Gummi Bears were looking for was to be sent quietly through your digestive system. And this ...

Geek porn. That is exactly what this is. A cleverly devised ploy to sell as many t-shirts as possible to the geeky masses. As much as you might try to not buy in to total geek bait, it’s hard to deny the allure of Star Wars and zombies melded together on, what else, a tee. As if the founding fathers ...

There’s just no getting around it. Emoticons have become part of the the international vernacular. Emoticons span the language barrier and allow for coy communication across any culture. It’s amazing that we don’t find little winky faces in ancient cave paintings. The Emoticon Stamp from Kaoiro allows you to mix and match your favorite punctuation marks to create up to ...

TMNT action figures were my toy of choice when I still whipped out my figures for a daily rumble. I’m trying to give it up, really. I haven’t even touched my toys since yesterday. What you are witnessing above is supposedly the new look of the upcoming live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. I’m not quite sure how I feel ...

Vitruvius Pollio, the man who inspired Leonardo da Vinci’s work on his iconic Vitruvian Man, once described the human body as being “the principal source of proportion among the Classical orders of architecture.” Maybe that’s true when you’re dealing with a perfectly proportioned male specimen, such as myself, but Inspector Gadget’s form is more akin to that of a fun ...
