by Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] I was just reading an article in PC World about “geek cuisine,” which apparently means caffeinated drinks/candy. I’m not sure why geeks are the only ones who have trouble staying awake; I know just as many law students as programmers who are chugging red bulls at 2am. In any […]
By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] If you happen to have a spare $60,000 lying around and you don’t know what to do with it (common problem, happens to us all), then here’s an idea on what to spend it on – a lifesize lego replica of yourself. Imagine the reactions of friends and family […]
by Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] Last night, CBS’s geektastic sitcom The Big Bang Theory featured the MMORPG Age of Conan. Without giving too much away, I’ll just say that it explored the perils of game addiction in a humorous way. Like the rest of the show, it’s not framed in a way to mock […]
By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] Far be it for me to suggest anyone read anything offline, but if one were were to do so, I would definitely have to suggest Neal Stephenson’s newest creation: Anathem.

Even though we typically prefer healthier fair here at [GAS], we’re not immune to the tempting goodness of an occasional poutine or Krispy Kreme cheeseburger. Unfortunately, there’s just something about junk food that makes us, as “normal” human beings, forget all we’ve been told as kids about proper nutrition. Maybe it’s the impeding danger of […]
If you saw the first trailer for The Spirit a while ago, you probably either said “What?!?!” or “Oh, I read that graphic novel.” If your answer was the latter, this is just eye candy for you. If you are in the first catagory, then this new trailer sheds a whole lot of light on […]
Star Wars fans rejoice, Mark Ecko has just unveiled his new collection of Star Wars-branded t-shirts and hoodies. While some of them may look totally ridiculous, such as the Storm Trooper hoodie, there are a few items on the list on which I wouldn’t mind putting my hands onto. Unfortunately, at $98 per hoodie and […]
By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] If you love podcasts as much as I do, you’re probably already familiar with Ask A Ninja. The Ninja’s helpful tips on how to survive everything from college life to meeting women always work really well for me. Or rather they would if those tips didn’t result in one […]
