Geek movie review: Cabin In The Woods
Posted on April 14, 2012 | No CommentsWhen I first saw a trailer for this movie I remember thinking that it looked creative but was most likely going to be just another cookie cutter horror film. It has same formula as every other, with the twist being that they were drawing attention... -
Bin Fodder: Crimson (Part 1)
Posted on April 11, 2012 | No CommentsAhh, it’s good to be back; feeling refreshed and ready to jump head-first into a big series. Last week (in case anyone noticed) there was no Bin Fodder. This was, partially, by design. With C2E2 so close on the horizon I felt it important to... -
Geek Gaming Review: PS Vita
Posted on April 8, 2012 | No CommentsIt’s been time enough for a real review. I own a PSP. I’ve owned one for many years. Sometimes I felt like I was the only one in the world who owned one. Don’t get me wrong, I love it. It has a huge crack... -
Geek Movie Review: Titanic 3D (& unlikely geek connections)
Posted on April 8, 2012 | 3 CommentsLike millions of other men in the world I was mostly-unwillingly dragged to the theatrical re-release of one of the top-grossing movies of all time, Titanic. James Cameron (Terminator, Avatar) apparently felt that he didn’t want his “epic” tale to be left behind with so... -

Posted on April 8, 2012 | 3 CommentsIn honor of the 2012 MLB season kicking off this week, I decided to review one of the best free games available on Google Play, 9 Innings: Pro Baseball 2011. I say it’s the best because it’s really the total package. The graphics may be... -

Posted on April 7, 2012 | No CommentsThere are so many things to say about this book that I’m going to start with the synopsis to save some time: Can one man save the Titanic? March 1912. A mysterious man appears aboard the Titanic on its doomed voyage. His mission? To... -
Geek TV Review: Game Of Thrones
Posted on April 1, 2012 | No CommentsThe Game of Thrones Season 2 premier aired tonight on HBO. It was both excellent and disappointing. I was first introduced to the series a few weeks back when it was released on blu-ray. One thing I remember thinking after staying up late two nights... -
Apple App-Aholics Anonymous (Swordigo)
Posted on April 1, 2012 | No CommentsSwordigo Price: $1.99 The always-promising app-release-Thursday of this past week left the iOS AppStore hungry for a game worth mentioning here in the 8DAG App-Aholic spotlight; maybe that was because the previous week managed to eek out Swordigo, a significantly-refined 2.5D role playing adventure by... -
IPhone 5 Early Hands On Review.
Posted on April 1, 2012 | 1 CommentI recently got the scoop of a lifetime while visiting a bar in L.A. A friendly man decided to make small talk with me, we were on the subject of running a site dedicated to geeks when he told me that he could let me review the... -
Geek Book Review: Tales From Development Hell by David Hughes
Posted on March 31, 2012 | No CommentsTales From Development Hell, or TFDH, as I shall call it in this review, is an inside look at the politics of movies and how what you see on the screen wasn’t what was necessarily written before. A must for any movie buff. I really enjoyed this... -
The new iPad: a hands on
Posted on March 30, 2012 | No CommentsSo, I finally did it. I’ve said several times that I couldn’t really see the use for a tablet in my “kit”. I am here to tell you that I was wrong and I’m sorry. I am the proud new owner of a new iPad... -

Posted on March 30, 2012 | 1 CommentRomance, passion, action, thrills, and Zombies, the first in a planed trilogy of Ashley Parker novels, Plague Town delivers it all.

Geek Comic Review: Atomic Robo Presents: Real Science Adventures
Posted on March 28, 2012 | No CommentsRobotic adventurer extraordinaire Atomic Robo returns! I was asked to review the newest adventures from Atomic Robo from Red 5 comics and I was super excited, I love the character, it’s like asking a fat kid to review brownies. I was not disappointed. Real Science Adventures is a... -
Bin Fodder: Justice League of America – The Nail
Posted on March 28, 2012 | No CommentsOne of my favorite things in comics is when a book is allowed to exist outside of normal continuity. Often times this causes dramatic and over-the-top type responses from readership. So instead of pulling a “Dallas” (god, I am old) and saying it was all... -
Geek Graphic Novel Review: Slaine: Books of Invasions
Posted on March 27, 2012 | No CommentsSlaine, the marauding High King of Ireland against Moloch and his Fomarian demons in this bloody tale of vengeance. This is my first encounter with Slaine, a favorite among 2000 AD fans, and I gotta say, I want to read more. Slaine is a classic axe... -
Bin Fodder: Scooter Girl
Posted on March 21, 2012 | No CommentsSlice of life stories are something of a romance of mine, both as a writer and as a reader. When I first came across Scooter Girl I was initially intrigued because of who was behind it. Written by Chynna Clugston-Major, the well-known writer/artist of... -
Bin Fodder: 21
Posted on March 14, 2012 | No CommentsOne of the great travesties in comics is when a tremendous book coming to an end before its time or is forced to conclude early leaving the last issue or two feeling incredibly rushed and disjointed from the rest of the story. Image Comics’...
