This is all types of impressive. I’m told the pipe organ is an incredibly hard instrument to learn how to play and even harder to master. This video shows you why; all those keys, foot peddles and extra switches. The complexity of the pipe organ would count for nothing if this was a poorly done […]

Cosplay: A Happy Parody
This is good. Even this geek has heard Pharrell Williams’ Happy. This a parody sung by Charmie Sweets and I think she does really well. On top of that we’ve a whole bunch of cosplayers having fun in front of the camera and dancing along for us.
Fainting April O’Neil: TMNT trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZm6LahB3uM There you have it; the first trailer for the Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. What do you make of it? This geek has concerns. I can accept some meddling with the back story – after all you need to adapt things for films. I don’t have a problem with Guardians of the Galaxy […]
The Book of the Dragonborn cake
As far as I know there isn’t a book of cake born from dragon. That would be a little weird. You can, however, have a Book of the Dragonborn cake by making a cake that looks like Skyrim’s Book of the Dragonborn. The catch? In this case Redditor bacongrease00‘s wife made the cake for someone […]

Someone has Parenting Skills at level 20. This AT-AT Walker is straight out of Star Wars and I can think of no safer bed. The chances of the bogeyman being an expert level X-Wing fighter pilot seem low.

These photographs are stunning as are the costumes on display. The photographer is Derick Tortorella (aka Mr Muggles) and you can see more in his Flickr Set. The event this was taken at was Gaslight Gathering 3 which ran last year. Gaslight Gathering 4 is a steampunk and Victoriana convention that’ll run at the Town […]
Dalek hoodies to troll shopping centre security
Does your local shopping centre ban hoodies? Those signs, along with rollerblade, inliner and skateboard are increasingly common. Geeks don’t really tend to worry security too much (unless we’re talking about LARPs gone wild) but perhaps these Dalek Hoodies from Entertainment Earth might be the way forward. Exterminate. You can pre-order these from here. Enjoy.
