My post from a few weeks ago, detailing why I’d decided to switch to a PC from a Mac, really got some of your blood boiling. While there were a few folks utterly aghast at my decision to nix the shiny world of Apple for the starker, more sterile world of Microsoft, on the whole, […]
I remember watching the CGI animated cartoon series ReBoot as a kid and being blown away by the quality of the animation. Of course, by today’s standards, that type of 3D modeling can be done by your average college student. I guess this is one of those “back in my day” type of things for […]
TV is quickly becoming my favorite form of media delivery these days, with film taking the back seat by a mile. I’d far prefer getting invested in a series than putting all my hopes and dreams in a few hours of film, only to come up disappointed and upset that I can’t actually get my […]
A few days ago, we wrote about Samus Aran parading at a burlesque show somewhere in LA, and now, here she is dressed as a bunny. But “why would Samus wear something as ridiculous as bunny ears” I hear you ask. And the answer is: this particular incarnation of Samus Aran is cosplayed by Jessica […]

For those of you with sensitive eyes, don’t worry, you won’t see Samus (as performed by Courtney Cruz of The Devil’s Playground) completely naked in this post, just very lightly clad. […]
It’s a rarely disputed fact among the geek contingent that conventions, by and large, are a kind of rite of passage.
