Apparently Pink Ray Gun has a “tradition of providing the geekiest of free pumpkin carving templates.” On this year’s menu? Doctor Who! You can carve your very own Tenth Doctor with TARDIS pumpkin, or for you Torchwood fans, Captain Jack and Ianto. Keep an eye on the site because there’s apparently more in the works. […]
I don’t know many geeks who don’t love watching a good animated stop motion movie, and the following one, even if it relates a love story between a young boy and girl, should please most of our audience. To put it simply, the animation really shines by its brilliance, and could even bring a tear […]
I’d normally embed this in the post, but this Wario Land video ad really has to be viewed on Youtube to be fully appreciated. Thanks Pat!

I’m sure everybody here knows about ThinkGeek, right? They’ve been around forever, and I don’t know many self-respecting geeks who haven’t lusted after one of their products at one time or another. The only stuff I’ve never really liked from them are their t-shirts… I personally find them a little drab for the Star-Trek-loving bunch. […]
Ok, I know some of you won’t find this funny, but it certainly made me laugh my ass off. (Warning: Contains 5 seconds of topless female nudity) The man you just saw in the kangaroo suit is named Rémi Gaillard, and he’s a renowned French prankster.
