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…

Cheetos Kind of Shaped Like Things For Sale
“You can buy anything on the internet” takes on a whole new meaning today when I recently discovered that people sell Cheetos, you know, the delicious snack, shapes liked things. Not only do they try to sell these Cheetos, but the prices are astronomical. This lovely idea was brought handed over to me by retrogamingdev. Also, I must say, that occasionally, the term “looks like” or “shaped like” is used very loosely in some cases. Saxophone? So, is this a saxophone? To me, I see almost more of a seahorse… or you know, just a freaking Cheeto. Yeah, that is really what I say. But you know what, this person…

5 Crazy Music Videos That’ll Break Your Brain
All eras have produced some crazy music videos. Most people look back on the 1980s but really its been going on for a long time. Now with YouTube being the home to thousands upon thousands of artists (maybe millions?), a really weird music video will stand out. Today I cover just 5 from all eras of crazy music videos. 1. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Don’t Come Around Here No More First, one from my childhood, is this bizarre take on Alice in Wonderland. Note, I said “bizarre take on Alice in Wonderland” as if Alice wasn’t already weird enough. Who knew Tom Petty had one of the crazy…
