Hi everyone! Just a quick post to let you know about our new official t-shirt! Designed by [GaS] reader Autumn Rain Turkel, the design of this shirt was partly inspired by John Hughes’s 1980s-classic Weird Science. By purchasing one of our shirts, you’ll be helping us in our never ending quest to spread geekiness worldwide […]
Literary geeks, rejoice! They’ve made a film about John Keats. I’m a Romantic poetry fangirl, I totally admit it. As a young English geek (and later, English major geek) I came across the Romantics in high school, and up until that point I had never read anything so profound. The language was so beautiful, the […]
Yes, you read that headline correctly, no need to rub your eyes. The following video features 3 bikini babes reading some parts of the Star Wars script for your, *ahem*, viewing enjoyment. Hey, It’s Star Wars… it’s bikini-clad girls… so uuuh, it has to be awesome… right? :) If this isn’t enough for you, there’s […]

Some are wondering if a contest that EA ran promoting their new game Dante’s Inferno during Comic Con went too far in supposedly encouraging attendees to “harass a booth babe” in order to win. The contest asked attendees to “commit acts of lust” and provide photographic evidence on Twitter. So was this just a way […]
By Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] Comic Con 2009 is nearing an end, and though I am sadly not in attendance, the majority of my Twitter feed (and I’m pretty sure about half of the Internet) is busy partying down with what seems like every geek-friendly celebrity you can tick off on your fingers. However, […]
By Jimmy Rogers (@me) Contributing Writer, [GAS] All I can say is HATS OFF to this awesome group of young people. Not only can they all dance, but you can tell just how happy they are from their great attitude. If only all weddings went this way (or this well). What do you think of […]
