I’m not an avid comic book reader. I read some Supergirl in middle school and high school, some Spider-Man when the movies came out, and a few video game tie-ins. I’m starting to get more into them with the New 52 giving me a place to actually start. But overall, I’m what

It’s that time of year again, and Cards Against Humanity is back with another (according to them, the last they are doing) gift program.  This year we get the Eight Sensible Gifts For Hanukkah.  Being born and raised Jewish myself, I can confirm that CAH went all out with every stereotypical Jewish humor

It’s Holiday time, and some of you may be asking for your first turntable or looking to buy one for that special someone. (It’s too late for this, but how awesome would a turntable and seven records be for Hanukkah?) But it’s hard to know what to get, especially when articles “for

The Martian has been getting high praise from the geek community for a while now, which isn’t surprising at all. It is a story about astronaut Mark Watney, who ends up stranded on Mars during a mission and must use his skills, knowledge, and wit to survive. This is the kind of

When I rented Ex Machina this weekend, I wasn’t planning on writing a review on it. After all, Ryan covered it when he saw it in the theatre. But, Ryan was restrained by making his review spoiler-free. (Since the movie was released in theatres in April, and on DVD in July I think

My favorite part of Gen Con isn’t the games. It isn’t feeding off the energy of the crowd. It isn’t all the cool stuff available in the expo hall. It’s seeing the small independent game companies trying to make a name for themselves. It’s not that I don’t love big name games.

Let’s get this out of the way first: No, this is not as good as Ready Player One. Ready Player One was a story that felt new, a different approach to sci-fi. Armada isn’t that. However, it’s still a good book in it’s own right. Armanda is the story of Zach Lightman, a teenager
