Friday, October 16th, 2009Operating under the thesis that “transforming makes everything better”–recent Michael Bay movies showing all signs to the contrary–the Transformers “Crossovers” line of toys has sullied* everything from Star Wars to Marvel Comics characters. But this Limited Edition Nike Megatron Transformer puts the icing of insult on the triple-layer cake of shame. I see four problems [...]
Reaver Bait: Spaceship Serenity Costume [Cosplay]
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009It’s no Death Star costume, but this Serenity costume–parading everyone’s favorite Firefly-class spaceship through DragonCon–is no less ingenious. Plus, could a Death Star costume be gloriously mistaken for a robot space pony costume captained by a tiny Mal Reynolds? No. No it could not. Find Firefly collectibles on Ebay Enjoy this post?

Nice Try, Star Trek!: Klingon Warbird Corkscrew
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009When I stumbled across this Klingon Warbird corkscrew, my immediate reaction was: “Hey.

What say you? Since I’m nearly infallible, I [...]
So THAT’s His Name: Jedi Master Plo Koon Star Wars Cake [Geeky Cake of the Week]
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009Amazing cake, eh? Remember this guy from the Star Wars prequels? He served on the Jedi Council, fought in the Clone Wars battle scenes, and otherwise spent many other seconds on screen in front of various CGI backdrops. Remember? Yeah. Well, his name is Plo Koon. You’re welcome. Now when you’re having one of your [...]
So Wrong, It’s Right: Wolverine My Little Pony Tattoo [Geeky Tattoo]
Monday, October 12th, 2009I originally found this insane tattoo of Wolverine riding a My Little Pony on Geeky Tattoos. But the photo is a lot like a celebrity sex tape in that you can find it all over the internets if you look hard enough, but it’s nearly impossible to figure out where it originated. Not that I [...]
