TARDIS House

So how did you like “The Doctor, The Widow & The Wardrobe”? Confession: I have not seen it, but by the looks of it, people had different reactions to the Doctor Who Christmas special. It’s not that viewers hated it, but if what I have read is any indication, the special was not astoundingly memorable (as I am sure many had hoped it would be). In any case, I am pretty sure that this woman from Glasgow did not care all that much if this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special did not blow her away. She is already a hardcore Whovian, who has gone all the way to prove just Read more »

10 Best Anime of 2011

It’s the end of the year, and that means it’s time once again to pick the top 10 anime series. As with previous lists, only anime that ended in 2011 are taken into consideration. This list is subjective and not based on hard numbers, but I’m sure everyone who enjoys anime would like several of the titles listed here. 10. Gosick Set in a fictional post-WWI European country, Gosick combines mystery, adventure, and cuteness into one neat little ball. When Victorique, the main female character, wasn’t being cute and adorable, she played the roles of detective and damsel in distress. The adventures that she drags Kujo (a Japanese exchange student) Read more »

The Completely Gonzo Story of Ocean Marketing

Pull up a chair, dear reader. I’m about to weave you a tale of Internet trolling, email insults, pompous career suicide, and an inadvisable attack against Penny Arcade (not to mention the world’s worst grammar and punctuation)… that’s made all the more incredible because it’s true. Read more »

The History of the Bat-Suit

How well do you know your Batmans? For sure, comic book enthusiasts are already spewing out facts and trivia showcasing their knowledge. And of course, the bat-suit will be mentioned in there more than once. I honestly wouldn’t be able to say much on this topic, but lucky for people like me, Ben Moore of Screen Rant has created an infographic detailing every single significant bat-suit that has existed. Take note of the qualifier “significant”, as hardcore Batman fans might take one look at the infographic and complain that there are some bat-suits missing. Also, the bat-suits that you find in the infographic are based on comic books, TV, movies, Read more »

XBOX 360 Case Mod: Marine Nano Reef

We’ve seen case mods for the XBOX 360 everywhere. From turning the whole console portable, to injecting it with a nitro-cooler, to paint jobs that are just so crazy-awesome. This, however caught my eye as a marine enthusiast and diver: a total conversion of an XBOX 360 into a nano-reef. Yep, that porcelain crab you see up there isn’t living out in the open. That’s actually magnified by a lot and it’s living inside a gaming console. What is it: It is a custom build XBOX 360 nano-reef. What’s a nano-reef? Scientifically speaking, marine tanks (sea water) operates very differently from fresh water tanks. The latter cab ne summarized with Read more »

Doctorama

I saw a tweet the other day which read, “I am The Doctor. #Fourmostimportantwords” I couldn’t agree more. (Unless it is The Doctor saying “Come ride with me on the TARDIS” to me.) For many other people, though, there is more to doctors than The Doctor. Quickly think about some of the most popular TV shows and movies. I am sure that you will come up with more doctors than you can count in one hand. And if pop culture doctors are your thing, you will no doubt love the creation of the guys over at CoDdesigns. They put together some of the most popular doctors (sorry, your neighborhood GP Read more »

LunaTik Pen = Stylus and Ballpoint in One

There is something to be said about using a stylus on tablet devices. Even the Galaxy Note comes with its own stylus. I guess there are just some things which a stylus can do better than a mere fingertip can. Still, there is the inconvenience of having to keep track of where your stylus is. While there is a nook to store the tool in, there is always the possibility of losing it. That is just almost impossible with your finger, isn’t it? But what if your stylus doubles as a ballpoint pen, increasing its value, and perhaps lessening the chances of you forgetting about it and losing it? That Read more »
