A lot of people underestimated just how fun and well put-together the Nintendo shooter Splatoon was going to be (as Nintendo and ‘shooters’ were not two words ever paired really). But boy, were people off about this game. And judging from this screen-cap from Imgur, the game is amazingly self-aware and knows how to rip down the 4th wall as well.
Just shows you how much cooler the game is than everyone initially thought.
Growing up as a geek, one of the aspects of geek culture that is pretty commonly accepted is that nerds love when beautiful people dress up as characters they adore from fiction. And while cosplay may be a pretty widely accepted and mainstream movement right now, there are still some amazing women and men approaching it from way outside the box. The folks of Acrobatica Infiniti in Chicago are a perfect example of this. Merging the worlds of cosplay and INSANE acrobatic skills, it is like every geeks dream come true, right in front of their eyes. A nerd circus. What more could anyone want? I mean, just peep this cosplay of Pris from Blade Runner:
And yes, they drop down on ropes and do things that normal human words would do no justice. And please, keep in mind, these are not some hot woman just wrangling nerds and then rolling around on stage to entice them. These people are some of the best collected circus stars and acrobats from all over the world. This is something they take very seriously. Performers hailing from such world-renowned circuses as Cirque du Soleil, Barnum & Bailey, Carnival Cruise Lines, and Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. You are talking about some remarkable levels of talent, and they are kind enough to lend that talent to nerd and geek culture. And to anyone who thinks they are nerd baiting, that is not the case. From the mouth of the show’s creator and director Tana Karo:
Circus is an ideal art form for paying homage to our favorite superheroes, villains, anime characters and the gaming craze. Acrobatica Infiniti has created a bridge between extraordinary circus performance and CosPlay like audiences have never seen before.
When art merges with the geek culture, awesome things happen, and that is just what this is. So this is a plea to our Chicago based readers (and anyone who wants to have their minds blown) to head out Uptown Underground in Chi-town and check their last show out, Friday, August 28th. This actually gives you a few weeks to prepare, too, in case you want to travel and check it out. Trust us, it’s worth it. And please don’t act like you don’t wanna see a sexy Aquawoman twisting herself around a giant trident, because we all know that is a lie.
Check it out, and make sure you tell them GeeksAreSexy sent you, because those are some really sexy geeks.
After learning that the sun is dying, a group of explorers set out into deep space in search of a new home for humanity.
Made for $30k, the vast majority of the cast & crew are friends who worked on this short pro bono, and the producers are extremely grateful for their support.
I have said it before and will say it again, and will then take a time machine to an alternative dimension where I can tell off-worlders the same thing. Rick and Morty is the best ‘adult’ cartoon on TV right now. It hits every aspect of the audience it is reaching for (essentially, us) and it’s pacing is frantic and side-splitting.
Well, for you fans of the show, some more good news. Even though season two JUST BEGAN, Rick and Morty has already been signed to a third season for Adult Swim. Honestly, at this point, might be safe to say we are dealing with the next Simpsons and this show will be sticking around for a long, long time.
So apparently for all you college kids who love eating soup that costs 20 cents a package, now there is Ramen flavored ice cream, so when you are done eating your soup, you can eat an ice cream version of your soup. The bad news is it will only be available at the Cup Noodle museum in Japan. Yes, that is ALSO a thing.
The ice cream comes in 2 flavors: soy sauce and curry. Servings include such ramen-themed toppings as diced mince, shrimp, green onions, leeks, eggs, potatoes, and carrots. Each serving of ramen ice cream comes in a Cup Noodle cup and sells for 300 yen ($2.40 US).
So, um, yeah. You probably won’t get to try it, but I thought you at least deserved to know it exists and was premiered yesterday to rave reviews. Just kidding, there are no reviews yet. I am just assuming.
