A Taste of Blood Wine review
I had a chance to interview A Taste of Blood Wine’s author Freda Warrington before I read the book. In my research for that interview I found many reviews that raved about it; best vampire story ever was a common claim and best story ever was not uncommon either. I asked Freda about the expectations […]
Made with alien love: custom Halo wedding ring
What should a geek do for their partner’s wedding ring? Something special? You bet! The One Ring? Hurm… perhaps. Perhaps not. A Halo Ring? That’s certainly what creator Bruce Boone was able to make when Halo player Mike Coscia needed a special ring. Via When Geeks Wed.

Damsel in Distress: Part 2 – Tropes vs Women in video games
The Damsel in Distress series by Feminist Frequency is picking up plenty of attention. Rightly so; it’s an intelligent commentary on the role of women in video games. Feminist Frequency comes at their observations from a feminist point of view and that can only be a good thing. I find it impossible to accept that […]
The best homemade lightsaber yet
When the laser expert and the guy who built this homemade lightsaber notes he’s not comfortable holding the device then you should pay attention. It’s also worth pointing out that 3W lasers are legal for home use in the States. What do you think? You’ve seen the power of this device and what it’s capable […]
