A love / hate relationship with exercise

After a lovely rap, drink and noshing session with the multi talented and ever-charming Brit Horvat and Darrell Proctor, I came home with a grim resolution to exercise. I skipped out yesterday since I needed to recover after the stomach flu (or some sort of ‘food borne virus’) knocked me out of commission for a [...]

Pretty sure robots are going to take over the earth

In a profound bliss that can only be brought along by the stomach flu one day, severe exhaustion the next, coupled with a severe fear of eating anything, I have stumbled upon another lovely nail to hammer in humanity’s coffin regarding the robot uprising. The charming folks over at geekologie.com have reported on robotic substitute [...]

Rock Band Stage Kit Looks Lame

I ran across this amazing news at Geekologie and had to immediately locate it on GameStop.com. Apparently they’re creating a Rock Band Stage Kit that, on 6/23, will transform you from an exceptionally skilled fake band member to King of the Dorks. How you ask? With a little smoke and a lot [...]

I Like the Terminator Series

Last night after watching Terminator 2 in its entirety, I realised that I really like the Terminator series. I’m not sure if this makes me more of a nerd than previously thought, or if it’s just par for the course when you’re a class 78 Nerd like me. Either way. I like Terminator, and I’m [...]

Cal Marching Band Madness (Psst. Someone’s a Gamer…)

Normally I’m less than impressed by marching band reinventions of music, radiohead and the like, but this tribute to video games is really amazing.

My Dell XPS Is a Raging Feminist

I’ve recently been giving the task of reviewing a quality game title, ‘Cake Mania 2′ to be exact. You play as Jill, the brunette, busty, buxom, baketress, who’s idea of heaven is baking cakes. Delicious cakes. In delicious shapes. Like hearts, flowers… OK you get the idea.
While I am a female gamer, I don’t believe [...]

Life Size Big Daddy

My husband sent this to me at work today. And unless he was planning on buying it for me, he shouldn’t have. Because now I WANT IT.
It’s a life size big daddy up for auction on Ebay. There are two days left and only one big but it is at 250 pounds. Or Euros. I [...]

My Geek Rating: I’m A Bit Disappointed.

The Red Ring Has Overtaken Me!

So it’s finally happened. My console has completely crapped out. The red ring has come and refuses to go away. I called Xbox and they’re sending out a box for me to send it back in. I’m kind of sad. The guy was like, red ring what’s that, you mean the three blinking red lights? [...]
