This Seventh Doctor’s Question Mark Umbrella is the Only Umbrella You Need!

umbt

From Thinkgeek:

Yes, this is more expensive than an umbrella you get at StuffMart, but you’re also not going to find an umbrella with a question mark for a handle at StuffMart. So for those of you, like us, who have wanted one but didn’t want to learn how to bend acrylic, here it is. Get it now.

Pinball’s Glorious Revival at This Year’s C.E.S

You had to grow up in the 80’s and early 90’s to really understand the impact pinball had. As many gamers as there were lining up to play games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong in the first years of gaming, there were just as many lining up to play pinball. Sadly, it seems that pinball has faded away in popularity over the years.

Well guess what, my fellow sexy geeks?

Thanks to Gametech, it looks to be making a comeback in 2015, and words cannot sum up just how awesome that is. They sum it up best in the video when they say many looked at pinball like a “dying art in the gaming world.” Not anymore if all goes well.

Top Ten Anticipated Video Games of 2015

A new Legend of Zelda? Yes please!

2014 was a meh year for video games. We had some disappointments in some major titles that promised bigger things than we got, and overall, the killer games to get people to buy new consoles just weren’t there yet.

Though there were definitely some gems (Far Cry 4 was a blast), it looks like 2015 is going to decimate this past year for gaming. This list will prove that and get any fan of video games drooling about what is in store for them this year. Between zombies and Zelda, I already have my gaming year all plotted out.

So which video games are you most looking forward to in 2015. Take to the comments and let us know!

Merfest: It’s Exactly What it Sounds Like

mers

So, um, there is a convention held yearly in North Carolina and is essentially a gathering of local folks who like to dress up as mermaids and mermen. Of course it is called ‘merfest‘ because what else would you call it? The best part is, these people get together up to three times a week and actually swim in the ocean as mermaids and mermen. This is not so much just cosplaying to these people as it seems a lifestyle choice. They just want to be mer-people, and get to embrace that with merfest.

You might just wanna check this out yourself. Somehow, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, and somehow I feel a million words won’t do these pics justice.

We support the “mer” movement 100%. Be who you want to be!
