Drive-In Intermission Videos: They Had Weird Advertising Ideas
When I was around 4 to 6 years old, my parents took me to the drive in theater. I remember seeing such movies as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Tim Burton’s version of Batman. Then, the local one shut down. I recently found out that there are still drive in theaters in the nation. One of them was about an hour away from me. They had 80s night at the drive in with Dirty Dancing and Labyrinth. My wife and I packed up to go to Harvest Moon Drive In Theater in Gibson City, IL. At one point, they had old school drive in intermission videos. It was interesting and…

Visiting the PSP Today
So the year for me is 2005. At that time I was personally working 50 hours a week, going to school 8 hours a week, and in the middle of my engagement to my future wife where we spent a lot of free time with each other. It was an exciting time in my life and one I do not regret. Having said that, I may have missed out on a few aspects of my nerdom. One of which was gaming. The passed by the entire Sony Playstation Portable or PSP. After getting a job with more free time, school being a thing of the past, and my wife and…

Dreamcast: Games You Need In Your Library
The Sega Dreamcast was a video game console that many argue it was ahead of its time. The Dreamcast was definitely widely underappreciated. It has been almost 20 years since its release and the game library has held held up rather well. I took to Twitter and asked everyone what is the one Dreamcast game that every one’s Dreamcast collection should have. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 For me, Marvel vs Capcom 2 is the quintessential Dreamcast game. While the game was also released for PS2, Xbox, and later digitally on Xbox 360 and PS3, the best version of this game still has to be the Sega Dreamcast version. The fighting…

Books That Actually Exist – Sharks & Romance
They say never judge a book by its title or cover. That might be true but don’t tell me these aren’t some of the best (or weirdest) book covers you’ve ever seen. So here are some weird books of masturbation, romance, and sharks. Motherflipping Sharks Book on Amazon Much like the movie “Sharknado,” as soon as I heard the title “Motherfucking Sharks” and saw this cover… my response was one word. I mean, look at what is in the book description on Amazon: “Where I come from, the children sing a song: Oh the motherfucking sharks Oh they’re gonna come to town Oh they’re gonna kill the babies Oh they’re…

The State of X
Over the decades Marvel’s mutants have become the some of the most convoluted cast of characters in comics. That brings in writer Johnathan Hickman, who has set his sights on establishing a new status quo that, for the most part, succeeds. Through his first two series House of X and Powers of X, Hickman has reset the mythos of mutants at least ten times. Through a character that will remain nameless to avoid spoilers, Hickman has created one of the better macguffins to be used in recent memory. Allowing readers to experience a series of What If style scenarios as to just how mutants find themselves at the crossroads they…

5 Totally Awesome Album Covers
Let us face it, music is great. Especially getting the physical work (particularly the vinyl record). You got the best sound, the mesmorizing spinning record, the liners, the booklets, and of course, the album art. Now, of course, not all album covers are created equal. In fact, you can find many of today’s album arts on several “Worst” lists. I beg to differ, these are underappreciated for the awesomeness that they totally bring. Here is 5 Totally Awesome Album Covers. 1. Don’t Hassel the Hoff… he’s just a night rockin! Oh… my… god… how did I go my entire 36 year old life and never see this magnificent display of…

5 Poor Video Game Tattoo Choices
Some might say that the human body is a temple, and you must decorate it. Sure, one way is with tattoos. I personally see nothing wrong with one or many tattoos. Just know that that if they are permanent, think of the message you are going to send to people for the rest of your life when you get one is all I’m saying. Some cringe at video game tattoos in general. That isn’t me. I think that’s awesome. However… Thus, here are some very poor video game tattoo choices…. Speaking of Sending the Wrong Message Fallout is one of my favorite video games and I think it would be…
