The Geeks Unleashed
Dustin strikes back with another Geekadelphia comic - this time it covers our frenzied activity surrounding the release of the newest Star Wars title to hit consoles - The Force Unleashed.
The story is damn good - almost good enough to be another full length on it’s own, and the gameplay is FUN. You are meant [...]
My Little Stormtrooper Pony
I had this little gem sent to me over the weekend by Caroline and I totally want one. Yes, I know what you’re thinking — A guy with a My Little Pony? I think it’s ok, right? I mean, it’s a stormtrooper and it’s totally crossed over into the Star Wars collectible genre where everything [...]
Companion Cube: This Cake is NOT a Lie
Kristin Freeman’s boyfriend, a guy we’d totally hang out with, had this delicious looking Companion Cube cake ordered from Candy Haven in Denton, Texas. Looks absolutely fantastic!
I should add that Kristin creates some rather lovely jewelry. Check out her Etsy shop.
Not sure what a Companion Cube is? Read Portal’s Wikipedia page. Only then will you [...]
Star Wars Rubber Duckies: Luke Pondwater?
Star Wars + Rubber Duckies = … Ernie from Sesame Street in space? WRONG. That fun sounding combo creates something a lot more fun. Pond Wars Ducks, rubber duckies that look like characters from our favorite space saga, Star Wars.
The ducks sport LEDs (check out the demo on Firebox) that make them change color in [...]
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise [Review]
Over the past seven days, I’ve spent roughly 30 hours raising pinatas, planting/maintaining my garden and traveling to “The Pinarctic” or “The Dessert Desert.” What have I completed? I have no idea.
Much like so many loot games I’ve squandered away countless hours with before (I’m looking at you, Too Human!), Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise [...]
Halo 3 “Prepare to Drop” Teases Campaign Expansion(?)
We certainly hope so at least. The countdown timer found on Bungie.net has expired and the video you see above has been released to the masses (ourselves included, of course). In case you’re blind (or uninterested – for shame!) and are listening to this blog post through a text-to-speech translator, the teaser shows what is, [...]
Sushi Cookies: Delicious, No Fish Aftertaste
Zoe Lukas, you’ve gone and done it again. First there was that outstanding sushi themed cake back in August, and now you’ve made these tasty looking sushi cookies.
Each cookie is hand painted on top of royal icing. I’m not sure what royal icing is, but you know what? I’m sure it is yummy.
And for all [...]
Sam & Max: Season One Premieres October 7th
Oh, October 7th. Why aren’t you here yet? Sam & Max: Season 1 drops for the Nintendo Wii that day, and we can’t wait. Sam & Max Hit The Road was one of the best games developed during LucasArts’ adventure game era, when they released fantastic point and click adventures like Day Of The Tentacle, [...]
NY Games Conference Day One Wrapup
We’re here in the fancy/expensive end of NYC, right down the street from Gordon Gecko’s office, watching a panel of folks who create and run games ranging from Lord of the Rings Online to the original Everquest speak about the future of gaming and how they’re going to squeeze more money from your wallet. Given [...]
