The Power Of Grayskull, included with certain Classics figures.

Knowing of my love of all things Eternia, a friend passed me a copy of The Power Of Grayskull, a mini-comic included in the new set of Mattel Masters Of The Universe Classics figures. Obviously, (as suggested in the word ‘mini’), the tale was short and sweet, but it awoke a lust for yet more MOTU material.

This is a story of a man named Stanley. Stanley worked for a company … Warning: This video contains the full walkthrough of The Stanley Parable The Stanley Parable is a rather brilliant narrative crafted into a mod for Half Life 2. To play it you won’t need to have a copy of Half Life 2, just Source SDK ’07 tools. And yes it works on a Mac. The Stanley Parable is a narrative that you “can’t win” nor will you be able to fully control what takes place within the narration. If you’re trying to understand, don’t.

Game of Thrones Lemon Cake

Other than fantasy stories, gadgets, and superheroes, what is the one other thing that you would geek out for? If asked that question, there really is only one answer I could give: food, glorious food! That is why I just had to write about Cooking for Geeks last year. How can you not get enthralled with something like that? And today, I just discovered another really cool site that is all about food AND geeky references. It’s called Castles & Cooks, and no food-loving geek will fail to drool over it. Literally. Castles & Cooks is a blog run by cooks who game – and gamers who cook. The guys Read more »
