Wonder Woman Makeup for the Female Geek

I can’t believe I am writing about makeup, but hey, it is made by MAC and it is Wonder Woman! Okay, I confess – I did not really know much about MAC until I asked my best friend. So what’s up with this new line of makeup, and why is MAC making it to the Features section of ForeverGeek? The title says it all, really. MAC’s Wonder Woman Makeup Collection of Spring 2011 has been catching the attention of fashion and beauty bloggers all over the place. Together with DC Comics, the cosmetic company (apparently, every woman’s favorite cosmetic company) came up with the idea to cater to those who Read more »

Pioneer! O Pioneer!

Pioneer! O Pioneer!

Last week I mentioned Pioneer One in MK 13 of Wins and Fails This Week in Geek. I decided this week to discuss it a bit further. Let me preface this by stating in the interest of full disclosure that I have not been sober for a single episode of Pioneer One. Before you invite me to a 12 Step group, in my defense, there have only been two episodes. As a result, I’m attempting to review the series based on fractured memories of moments in plot and impressions that the characters, writing and actual production have left behind. And in a way, that’s precisely the treatment this low-budget bonanza Read more »

FashionWare 2011: Better Late than Never

Geeks and fashion? Gone are the days when the reasonable people did not care about what to wear. Instead, today, we hear about hipsters, geek chic, geek fashion, and so on. There are even entire ensembles created especially for those who want to look geeky cool! Maybe there is nothing wrong with that, but it is something that I still cannot totally grasp. Anyhow, did any of you hear about FashionWare 2011? It epitomizes the trend that I just outlined above. FashionWare was dubbed as the “Fashion Week for Geek Fashionistas” and was held at the recently concluded CES 2011. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure Read more »

Cecelia’s “Flowers” – You Might Want to Take A Closer Look

Flowers always brighten things up. You have to admit that even if you are not the type who likes flowers, a bunch of brightly colored blossoms in an otherwise plain room makes a huge difference. Flower lover or not, you are in for a treat with these images. These photographs are the work of Cecelia Webber, a photographer whose usual subjects are not really plants. Before I talk more about them, why don’t you take a look at them first? Here’s a tip: look really really closely. Are they flowers or what? According to Cecelia Webber, she accidentally thought of this idea when she shot a nude figure against a Read more »

Fortune Arterial: Red Promise – Review

Fortune Arterial: Red Promise is a 12 episode anime based off of the eroge Fortune Arterial, which I hear was popular among visual novel fans. The anime is centered around the protagonist, Kouhei, who transfers to a high school located on an island off Japan. There, he rekindles relationships with people he knew in his childhood. He also discovers that the school’s student council vice president, Erika, is a vampire. In order to keep Erika’s secret from spreading, her brother forces Kouhei into the student council in order to keep a watchful eye on him. As with most visual novels turned anime, Fortune Arterial has the typical high school setting Read more »

Xbox Goes Way Back With Dreamcast Classics

You gotta respect something that refuses to die. Like Sega’s Dreamcast console. Widely considered ahead of its time (it was the first console to connect to an online network), it debuted not long before the PS2, GameCube, and the original Xbox. But even though it was Sega’s last entry in the console wars, it’s proven to have remarkable staying power among its dedicated fans. Today Sega announced that it’s compiling four fan-favorite Dreamcast games into a collection of games for Xbox 360 and PC. Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Sega Bass Fishing, and Space Channel 5: Part 2 are the titles included in The Dreamcast Collection, which arrives in stores February Read more »

Old Toys Revived

Do you imagine where your old childhood toys ended up if they haven’t been thrown away? What about your GI Joe or Star Wars figurines, heck even a Pink Panther or Bugs Bunny figurine. The answer is: flea markets, garage sales and eventually maybe as an art piece. Lucas Mongiello an Argentinian artist based in Paris, France, collected these old figurines when he came across them on flea markets and created some cool art with them. He mixed several sets of these figurines and assembled them inside glass cases. A bit like a boat in a bottle concept, only with a glass case. Read more »

Greg Pak’s Vision Of The Future

By far the coolest thing I have read this week has to be Greg Pak’s Vision Machine. If as well as being a comics geek, you happen to be a techno-geek as well, then this offering is a treat. And what is better is that it is free! You can download it from here. Greg offers up a whole new world that takes the concept of the smart phone (and those 3D glasses that still seem as hideous as their ancestors) just one step further, combining the concepts of the new media, social media, MMORPGs, and the greater avenues that we can all utilise today to express our creativity.
