Better Than Slots: Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame
18 June 2009 by 5 Comments
A few weeks ago, I was able to spend some time in Las Vegas. Technically, it was a work thing for my guy, but when I wasn't helping out, I was hitting the pool, checking out the World Series of Poker, and taking advantage of the free Cherry Cokes in the casino. However, one thing on my agenda was non-negotiable: I needed to check out the Pinball Hall of Fame. … [Read more...]

(Sorry, math geeks.) My Monster Manual post was entitled "Are Your IM Buddies in the Monster Manual?" For Monster Manual 2, we're looking at all the uppity, down-ity, psychotic females you've ever known or dated. I even recruited some special guests and have featured their thoughts … [Read more...]

Everyone's all "OMG RECESSION!" People are losing their jobs, businesses are crumbling, house prices are tumbling, and Jack and Jill just can't manage to get the credit line to buy the motorized scooters needed to cart their fast-food-filled asses up the hill to fetch a pail of water.

Pull your tear-stained head out of your rear and play some Dungeons … [Read more...]
The Crew of Star Trek: Hot Geeks, Every One
19 May 2009 by 8 Comments
Last weekend I saw Star Trek. While I have a certain fondness for Spock (especially when he's played by Zachary Quinto), it occurred to me that the entire crew of the Enterprise is hot stuff, both in brains and beauty. Here's a breakdown of the crew, and why they're extremely datable. Kirk - Probably the least obvious geek, and maybe why I like him least. He walks a fine line between confidence and cockiness, but there's something to be said for decisiveness and passion. He's also … [Read more...]

Wesley Crusher, Inadvertently Responsible for the Bloomin’ Onion

It needed only three more minutes. He was sure of it. Confident in his decision, Picard pulled his head from the smoky depths of the grill and closed the lid with a snap. The clearing smoke revealed a particularly idyllic day on the Holodeck; an Earth day in June, maybe. Most of those assembled were sprawled along the lakeshore. Data watched the proceedings with a frown on his face. "Captain, I do not understand. We can get all the steak we need from the replicator. What is the point … [Read more...]
