Imagine fighting over a so-busy club in order to talk to someone. You’re using your elbow to defend your space. Everyone else is talking. Loudly. If you can cope with that then you must see Mashable’s interview with geek darling Felicia Day at the Streamys Awards. Mashable focuses on social media. I recommend the site. […]

Famous Last Words 9/15: Can I eat this green slime?
Despite being called “Famous Last Words” some Wyrdlings took to submitting whole paragraphs of encounters. Sometimes these stories where popular and voted up by the community. Sometimes not. Let us know what you think! Some of the famous last words began “true story” – what’s with that? Surely none of these user generated contributions were […]
Geek proposed via hacked Chrono Trigger
This is a great story. Phill wanted to propose to Anna. He found a fantastically romantic and geeky way to do it. He hacked Chrono Trigger. He created a whole new area in the game which re-created some of their most fond memories. The new area contained the actual proposal. Long ago I met someone […]
The Game of Thrones gives us a new language: Dothraki
James Cameron actually invented the language for the Na’vi to add some reality to Avatar, Star Trek has infamously created a “real” Klingon language and Tolkien loved inventing languages – some of which feature in Lord of the Rings. HBO has announced one more geek language. Now we can enjoy Dothraki. Dothraki is spoken by […]
New Gantz live action trailer (into the boobies?)
YouTube has a fat new trailer for the Gantz live action movie. I don’t think it shows much except for skillfully matching the actors to their anime selves. It doesn’t give a clue to the script or the violence levels the anime is associated with. We do see the strange sphere. Just one thing – […]
Balloon Optimus Prime
Sometimes life requires you to build life sized Transformers out of balloons. When life makes that call you have to listen. Otherwise you’ll find yourself trapped in hotel rooms making strange videos on YouTube. Mind you; there’s no way of knowing what will happen should you succumb to the balloon urge.
Famous Last Words 8/15: I’m telling you it’s not real… No wait…
This re-post of Famous Last Words is ordered by total vote; with the better ones at the top. So does this mean we’ve only got the poorer contributions yet? Not necessary so; some of the famous last word contributions came in too late to pick up many votes. It’s also far to say some friends […]
Does our Universe live inside a wormhole? Yes; suggests one expert
There are a number of things about our Universe that still can’t be explained. Significant things. Gravity, for example, doesn’t make sense when measured against the strong and weak nuclear forces and electromagnetism. Then there’s dark matter; why is the Universe expanding? Why is the Universe expanding at an increasing rate when gravity would cause […]
Jinx hops the pond; geek fashion steps up in the UK
Jinx is a thriving niche fashion brand. It’s well known among my WoW friends. They’ve got 22 people making geek cred clothes (t-shirts, mainly, or since we’re talking American; tees) in San Diego. The fact that they’re well known among some gamer circles is impressive as their marketing department, based in Ohio, has less than […]
Zan – samurai anime is Final Fantasy’s Yoshitaka Amano directorial debut
Success with Final Fantasy and Science Ninja Team Gatchaman has made Yoshitaka Amano famous. It’s no surprise that fans sat up and took notice when it was announced he would be directing his first ever anime film. In fact; news of the film helped explain a mysterious panther-like creature that Amano has put on display […]
