I have a long-standing love affair with midnight openings. The anticipation, crazy costumes, and standing in line with fans just as avid as I am has always been almost as fun as the movie itself. The last few midnight showings I have been to, however, have lacked the excitement I have come

When the opportunity to see Jurassic Park in 3D IMAX presents itself you do not say “no.” I loved the movie as a kid, but since I was around seven when it came out, I never got to see it in the theatre. Which is why I ended up at the Indiana

We’re entering summer which means there will be a whole lot of awesome going on. Conventions, summer movies, and meetups oh my! Here’s what’s on our plate, at least for now.

About a month ago I wrote a post about gaming with RSI, wondering what solutions other had found. A few people messaged me about a product called the Avenger Controller. So I went over to their site to check it out. The Avenger Controller isn’t a controller per se. It’s an medieval looking overlay

Summer is a fabulous time to be a geek: conventions are in full swing, weekends are free to spend on cosplay and video games, and the movies couldn’t be better. I don’t know about you, but the multiplex is my home away from home in the summer and 2013 summer movie season
