Editor’s note: Citybox provided PureGeekery with a box of goodies to review at no cost. Part of what I love about attending local geek conventions is discovering awesome new things in the area. As much as we all complain that Indy is boring, there’s really a lot to do around here if

NOTE: Spoiler-free review! For quite some time now, rebooting old movies and tv shows has been all the rage. For the most part, I think they miss much more often than they hit. 21 Jump Street shocked me at how funny it ended up being. The sequel, 22 Jump Street, delivers just
Polk Audio 4-Shot Headphones: Beta Testers Needed

in Product Reviews, Reviews

Although cost is no guaranty of quality, when an audio company has floor speakers going for $1,999.95 (each; if you want stereo sound, it’s going to cost you a down payment on a car) and there’s no celebrity endorser (*cough* Beats *cough*), it’s a fairly safe bet that they know their stuff.

Review: Halt And Catch Fire Premiere

NOTE: This review is relatively spoiler-free, touching on details that were found in trailers and commercials.

Review: A Million Ways To Die In The West

NOTE: Spoiler-free For the most part, I am not a Seth Macfarlane fan. His humor generally goes for the lowest common denominator, and he stretches jokes out so long on Family Guy, it’s clear he’s too lazy to write enough material for a 22 minute episode of television. With this opinion of

Veronica Mars: How did I miss this show for so long?

NOTE: This overall review of Veronica Mars the series and movie is spoiler-free, touching briefly on main story arcs, but going into no specific details. On March 22nd, in an effort to take more advantage of my Amazon Prime account, I decided to pick a tv show I’d never watched and
