All us old-schoolers may say CG has ruined movies, but we forget that there were some AWFUL effects before CG, too. Some so bad, you watched them and couldn’t help but laugh. They may sometimes get a high B for effort, but the end result is still an F for fail. WatchMojo put together this […]
You may see outer space an awful lot in science fiction games, but how often do you see it represented accurately? Outside Xbox threw together this cool list to show us the few examples of video games actually representing outer space realistically, based on science and what we already know.

The Smartest of us call it “Gameception.” It is when you are playing a video game only to stumble on another and different video game INSIDE that other video game. Often times, you can play it, too. Yes, you can play the video game that is inside the video game you are playing. That is […]
When people think geeks and gaming, they often associate the name with video games. But what a great many onlookers don’t realize is that many board games also have factored into our utter geek fandom.

As a geek, one cannot undermine the power film had over us at becoming what we are today. From taking us to the far reaches of the universe in vessels we had only dreamed about until that point, to showing us dragons as we always imagined them, film and geekdom go hand-in-hand. And there are […]
There are some games that have minor characters you cross paths with but secretly hope you get to spend more time with because they are so badass. On occasion, these NPCs get DLC down the road, but for the most part, they stay just that. NPCs. Here are ten very memorable NPCs from gaming. We […]
To start off and make sure we are all on the same page, I will define ‘space cowboy’ for you, by my own terms. It basically means any character from sci-fi (in this case, TV and movies) who flew around in space, but was also pretty much a cowboy. Same ideals and similar aesthetic (albeit […]
Here is the general rule about ‘pain in the butt’ bad guys (from movies, TV, and gaming). True villains never die. They never really go away. They may vanish for a bit or lull an audience into a false sense of security, but that’s their job. The reality is, when you LEAST want to see […]
