This just confirms my theory that all robotic children are the things of nightmares. Have you ever seen a robotic being built to look young that didn’t cause you to instantly fear it? And to top it all off, this might even be the scariest of the bunch! Where does the madness end? This leg-humping robotic child centaur thing pretty ...

All the fans attending the Memphis Redbirds game on May 13, 2010 (all 10 of them) bore witness to perhaps the coolest moment in baseball pre-game history. The first pitch was thrown out by none other than a T-Rex. While the dinosaur had a little trouble getting the ball in its mouth, I can attest to the fact that the ...

If George Lucas had been born about 25 years earlier, Star Wars would have turned out a hell of a lot different. In this excellent “premake” trailer by Ivan Guerrero, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is transformed into a campy 50s sci-fi epic, complete with chintzy-looking robots and “amazing” 3D effects. The premake was made by splicing together classic ...

Sure, it might not exist, but somebody should so develop this game and submit to the App Store. Odds are that it wouldn’t be approved because of copyright and all of that jazz, but just on the off chance that it is approved, it would totally be worth the effort. Okay, now I sorta wish Blizzard had been developing games ...

Hand farting is a tremendously underrated art form. It’s a wonder that some of the pop songs these days reach the top of the charts, yet hand farting is still yet to have even reached the Billboard echelon. I don’t know about you, but I’d choose hand farting over Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em any day. Especially if the hands happen ...

I’m not sure George Lucas understood the cultural significance Star Wars would have on the geek community. From rabid action figure collectors to entire religions, the world of Star Wars is nothing short of a phenomenon. Name any other film that has generated such a cultural furor. Nothing even comes close. So you can only imagine the geek boner I ...

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 ...

You know that asshole at the office who seems to repeat everything you say just to be a douche bag? Sometimes it even seems like he’s walking in step with you. What the hell is with that guy anyway? The geniuses over at the Korean Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in conjunction with Samsung Electronics created Mahru, the robotic ...

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. Basically I’m everything you wish you could be. Sorry, it had to be said. Now BOW to me! But blogging doesn’t come without its hazards. ...

Star Wars and Star Trek have been locked in an intrinsically geeky battle since the beginning of modern geeky times. I’ve always been way more of a Star Wars guy, as I’m sure you can clearly tell from just taking a fleeting glace at this very blog, but as a master of the science fiction arts, I have to admire ...
