Let’s go on an Extreme Road Trip!

The brakes of your car have stopped functioning. As a result you’re revving full throttle down a canyon. First thing that comes to mind: might as well do a few air tricks! Extreme Road Trip puts you behind the wheel of one of several types of vehicles. The goal is to bag the high scores by performing aerial backflips and hang tens before your family van runs out of gas. The controls are really simple. All you need to do is press the left or right side of the screen to tilt your car forward or backward making sure that all your stunts finish with your car landing on at Read more »

Wheel of Time Women Front

So it seems that everyone has fallen for George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world, thanks to HBO’s Game of Thrones. As much as I love the TV show and the books, I still can’t help but go back to my first love: Wheel of Time. This epic series by Robert Jordan remains unmatched in my heart. While I doubt that the books will be turned in a TV series any time soon, I am pretty sure that there are still countless readers who spend considerable time discussing, reading, living, and thinking about the complex web that Robert Jordan’s world is. And in case you are one of those, you’ll be delighted Read more »

StarTrek and the Legion Of Super-Heroes #2 in November

Well, today is the day that is the last gasp of the DC as we head towards the new 52. Reading today’s issues will be a bittersweet experience. Newsarama has delivered a slide show of what we may miss from the last seventy five years of comics, but I think it is safe to say what we will miss is SEVENTY FIVE YEARS worth of history. However, has anyone given any thought of what will happen to the Legion of Super-Heroes? The interviews and solicitations regarding this title seem to imply that it will carry on regardless to avoid continuity issues; but surely this creates continuity issues in itself?

Game Boy Swimsuit Back

Remember that awesome Star Wars R2D2 Droid Bathing Suit that we shared some time last year? No? Go ahead and click that link. You won’t regret it! That swimsuit – or bathing suit, if you prefer to call it as such – was made by Black Milk Clothing, which started out as a designer leggings label. While I have never really looked at their leggings, their swimsuits really look ace. This latest one, which I discovered via Geekologie, is even cooler than the R2D2 one. At least that’s what I think – you can sue me if you think differently. ;) Now what did I say? Doesn’t that swimsuit just Read more »

Portal 2 Rubik's Cube

I am not a gamer (although I will play most silly casual games you can find), but I do think that putting together one of the hottest games this year together with the classic puzzle, Rubik’s Cube, is brilliant. Enter Chris Myles with his customized Rubik’s Cube, which is inspired by Portal 2. For non-gamers like me, Portal 2 is a puzzle game which utilizes the first person perspective. If I understand it correctly, the objective of the game is to solve the series of puzzles that your character will face throughout the game. You have to navigate the various rooms, and you have to use the portal guns to Read more »
