Comic-Con 2013 Exclusives – Part One

At just a little over a month away, our yearly uber geek-out at San Diego Comic-Con is already promising to be filled with hijinks, spandex, and TOYS.
As the con has grown over the last few years with the explosion of geek culture, it’s become less important for our crew to stand in massive lines for panels and junkets, and more fun to scoop the exclusives, swag, and up and coming goodies from our favorite vendors. You heard me – disregard panels, acquire swag.
As it’s early, exclusives are still being released …

Quickies – Lunch Hour Reviews

OK, so I’ve been slacking on reviews, but listening to a few albums both in my car and on my way to work. I am giving myself the next 53 minutes of lunch to bust this shit out. GO!
The Lonely Island
The Wack Album
Republic Records
9/10
Started to listen to it at work, 2.6 seconds in and I realized I could probably be fired for any number of HR offenses. Fuck, I want to get drunk with these dudes. The trio of awkward crackers/rappers stick to the formula that’s worked so well for …

Star Trek: Into Darkness – New Trailer Out

KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Not to get all fangirl on everyone here (although, I totally mean to), why wasn’t there more Spock in this?!  I only got slight glimpses of his glorious hair, flowing in the action-packed wind!
Yeah, I’m not the biggest Kirk girl, but man do I wanna see this movie.  In private.  Paused on Spock … Uhura wouldn’t hurt.

Record Like A Pro… On Your Phone

  There was once I time where I wrote album reviews for Vice, earning shit-tons of hipster credits that I have yet to turn in to get my free fixie. Some shit ruled, some shit sucked. One time I reviewed an album and thought “Wow, they actually have to TRY to sound this bad. You can record it better on your phone.” It turns out that that band was friends of an editor, which is why I don’t write for Vice anymore. That got me thinking, how easy is it …

Even the Comics Are Magic – My Little Pony #1 Review

It’s happening, everyone. I am going public with this: I think My Little Pony is fucking delightful, and the newly released IDW comic is no exception.
I’m not going to sit here and defend My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic – if it’s not for you, it’s not for you. The magic of friendship simply is not for everyone.
However, I, along with millions of fans, feel that the magical team behind MLP:FIM is on to something here. The show, now in its third season, is a smash hit among all ages, and with 100,000 …
