Look What I Found, DragonBall Z Fanboys & Fangirls!

By on April 10, 2012 in Movies, Uber Geek Stuff

So, remember that awful Dragon Ball adaptation that came out a few years ago? I HAD A DISAPPOINT, as they say, and apparently so did these guys because they’ve decided to one-up that clusterfuck with a live-action adaptation of the Saiyan Saga and it looks RELEVANT TO ALL OF OUR INTERESTS. No, like really. I want [...]

ZOMG I HAZ NO ADULT SUPERVISION!

By on April 3, 2012 in Featured Posts, Greatest Hits, Rants, Uber Geek Stuff

In case you hadn’t already noticed, Captain EditorPants is out of town so in addition to all of the creative stuff (read: lurking reddit in my underwear) I am also doing all of the formatting/posting/hamster feeding to keep the site Summer’s Eve fresh. Normally Captain EditorPants handles all of that complicated technical stuff, but he’s [...]

Mark Ruffalo is so troll and other fun Avengers related news.

By on April 3, 2012 in comics, Featured Posts, Movies, Uber Geek Stuff

Yeah, I live on io9 now. It’s this guy’s fault. I was so busy wasting valuable office time on facebook and working out the logistics of moving one of those big fancy Craftmatic adjustable beds from one side of town to the other without turning my mattress into roadkill that I neglected to do that thing where I [...]

SABADO GIGANTE! It’s Nerdy Mash-Up Saturday Again Dammit!

By on March 31, 2012 in Doctor Who, Movies, Uber Geek Stuff

It’s not even 5pm and we’ve already covered safe sex, animal husbandry, and somehow we also managed to brush awkwardly up against beastiality. Sorry about that, you guys. Had to be done, really. So in order to make up for that really uncomfortable talk we had earlier about putting a condom on your penis before [...]

STAR WARS *cue music*

By on March 30, 2012 in Movies, Reader Letters, Uber Geek Stuff

Sometimes I’m called upon to give advice that falls outside of garden variety dating/sex/relationship advice and squarely within the realm of pure unadulterated nerdery. I’m happy to oblige. Fresh from the PluckyCharms mailbag comes this query from loyal reader JohnnyC. He writes: So exactly in what order should I watch the Star Wars movies? JohnnyC [...]

NEW POLISH AVENGERS TRAILER GIVES ZERO FUCKS ABOUT EVERYONE EXCEPT BLACK WIDOW!

By on March 28, 2012 in Movies, Uber Geek Stuff

Apparently Ginger ScarJo in a Kevlar body suit is HUGE in Poland, because this new Avengers trailer swipes footage from Iron Man II in order to more accurately demonstrate her character’s development over the course of the two films from totes adorbz lady assassin to totes adorbz lady assassin with a sassy, no-nonsense bob. We [...]

Sexy Nerdy Lady Thing of the Day! Dark Shadows Nail Polish

By on March 26, 2012 in Movies, Uber Geek Stuff

While the rest of you are nursing your tremendous hardons for The Hunger Games even though we all know it’s been Battle Royale this whole time, I’ve remained loyal to both the upcoming Avengers movie and Tim Burton’s goofy reinvention of Dark Shadows. It’s a good thing one of us is paying attention because in [...]

DINOSAURS YOU GUYS! Symphony of Science

By on March 22, 2012 in Uber Geek Stuff

Welcome to the exact moment you realized that science is the only thing that should ever be autotuned with the exception of news anchors and political pundits. Before I get back to our regularly scheduled programming – movie trailers, insomniac musings, occasional dating advice – I’d like to take a few minutes to get really [...]

Dark Shadows: Barnabas Collins Taught Me How Not to Succeed With Women

By on March 20, 2012 in How to be a Lady's Man, How to Pleasure a Woman, How to talk to women, Uber Geek Stuff, What Women Want

Back when I was but a wee lezzie-nerd in training I used to watch reruns of Dark Shadows on the Sci-Fi channel. I had excellent taste for a 10 year old girl. Dark Shadows was a supernatural soap opera about the ultra-wealthy and equally dysfunctional Collins family, but for most of its 5 year run [...]

Comic Shop Terrors : The Creep – Or, How Not to Behave at a Comic Shop

By on March 12, 2012 in comics, Uber Geek Stuff

This is my local comic shop. There are many like it, but this one is mine. The fine folks over at Pastimes Comics & Games in sunny Weaverville, NC have produced a series of videos on how not to behave at the comic shop. They are both entertaining AND educational, like those National Geographic documentaries that [...]
