What is amazing about nonfiction books is their ability to spark debate and spark conversation among people. They are not fables with heavy mythology, and are often the catalyst of great discussions that may not have otherwise happened had the book not breached the subject first. Flavorwire’s Elisabeth Donnelly has combed over some very powerful […]
Being Rogue from the X-Men seems more like a curse than a blessing. Yes, she can get people’s powers and do some really cool stuff with them, but outside of that, she can never touch anyone. While the best of us geeks can relate to that somewhat, we know it to be a daunting life […]
They call him the “Samurai Guitarist” and he can rip and shred with the best of them. His actual name is Steven Onotera, and he is a Winnipeg based guitarist who tears it up for his YouTube channel to help bring shredding to the masses. In this case, he gives us a stellar cover of […]
Remember the sick, auto-fitting Back to the Future II shoes? The one’s that the movie predicted people would be wearing in 2015? The above photo proves that for once, a movie wasn’t lying to you. A Nike designer has come out and pretty much confirmed the shoes will be ready for release sometime this year, auto-lacing […]

Marvel looks to have 2015 locked down pretty hard, movie-wise. Actually, they seem to have the next century planned out, but one of the movies we have to look forward to first is Ant Man.

Empire Robotics have built a pretty impressive robot in the form of the Versaball. It is a simple robot arm that can do some really cool, simple things that would make your own life immeasurably easier (to help you change light bulbs and such). But apparently, while sitting around the lab figuring out other uses […]
You can’t deny that actor Michael Keaton had an amazing comeback in 2014 with Birdman. A movie essentially satirizing himself and his pop culture turn as Batman many years back (and how his career has sort of slowed down a bit since that role, inexplicably). Keaton recently went on The Superhero Show at IGN to […]
Futurama is an incredibly well written show that throws joke after joke at its audience, well aware that some of those jokes will only be picked up on by their brightest and most scientifically inclined fans. But it’s also clear to see the creators of the show enjoy that. Slipping in jokes that may fly […]
