USC’s Gamepipe brings us Lockdown, which they describe as “a serious game for incident response to school shootings.” Obviously, this game, or simulator, or training application, however you want to bill it, isn’t about graphics, but I can’t stop thinking of Playmobil as I look at the video.
It’s supposed to be used to teach SWAT […]

If I had a lot of money to kill I would probably turn into Donna Hutchings and buy 2342398 rad X-Files collectibles. Apparently this picture shows 50% of her collection.
Even crazier nerd collections after the jump.

This tattoo is so bad and so NSFW that I can’t show it above the jump.
Alex wrote to me, and said “the bet was high card draw best 2 out of 3 winner got to pick, but had to pay for the losers tattoo.” Click to find out what the winner picked for him, but […]

So yeah. I’m a LARPer. I’ve only been into it for a year or so, so I’m no huge expert, but I’m pretty into it and I think it’s a fun way to spend a weekend. This weekend I’m going to NPC* a game my friend helps to run. It’s awesome and involves Samurai and […]

Ah, google, what a miraculous thing. Today i was checking out our stats and i was very curious as to what search phrases are bringing people here. Some are no surprise like the obvious, “fun vampires” and some bring people to specific old articles like “lil wayne” and “indra petersons”. But some of them are […]

I saw some noisey fucked up rock + roll bands this past weekend. One of those bands, we’ll call them ****** Jeans, would have probably been my bet for Least Likely Philly* Band to be Featured in the New York Times. I think they got at least one thing wrong in the article […]

If Tanis Half-Elven was to fire a steel tipped arrow at some Burmese nationals while hiding out in the Fuherbunker, you’d have my last week’s movie selections. My movie mash up review this time will consist of Dragonlance (2008), Rambo (2008), and Der Untergang (2004) as a pleasing palette cleanser.

All you have to do is look somewhat attractive, stay out of trouble and read the goddamned news off of a teleprompter. It can’t be that hard, right? WRONG! Bikini-pic emailing CBS3 reporter Alycia Lane has fucked up before but she’s probably never fucked up this much! The cover of the New York […]

I’d like to apologize for the lack of awful tattoo postings lately. It’s not that I have run out of material (far from it), I just have been really busy. Today I want to show you some really bad pizza tattoos. I posted about this already in my old blog, but I have some new […]

Have you ever laughed in the face of death? Well, this past Sunday I actually threw a couple back in the face of death. Well, what I thought was the face of death. It was hard to tell behind that mask. For those of you who don’t have Fun Vampires as […]

Soon after September 11th, the State Department “Council of American Muslims for Understanding… and the American People” created a “Shared Values” series of public relations videos in order to improve our image in Middle Eastern nations. These videos contain heartwarming stories of Muslims in America but leave out the not-so-heartwarming stories of Americans in Oil […]

Good morning vampires it’s been a slow  few weeks and we have no real excuses. I figured i’d enliven your monday morning with a few photos from our Chikara Pro Lucha Libre wrestling adventure. As a few people suspected this was indeed not real mexican wrestling. I didn’t see a single latino (looking) person in […]

Artist Michael Townsend and other members of his collective actually built a 750 square foot room out of cinderblock in the parking garage of the mall. With supplies bought at home depot they built themselves a little apartment with a non-descript utility door as its entrance. On the inside it was fully furnished and and […]

dudes, this could not be any crazier:
A 48-year-old Lake Elsinore woman has accused the three of abducting, beating and dumping her in Mexico late last month. The accused are the 45-year-old man the woman had been living with and two of his friends, said Detective Joe Greco of the Lake Elsinore Police Department. Greco said […]

Start your monday off right…At The Movies

So somehow I wound up being a theoretical mathematician. It’s a pretty good life thus far but what is it good for? Well, math pays my bills and that aint bad… But there’s alot more than that. Check this video of mad genious Timothy Gowers for a glimpse and, if you’re still awake afterwards, check […]

mmmmmmm…….Laser Cut meats! Now if they would have only spelled out mooooo!!! Check out how it is done after the jump!

This needs to be an official FV Event. I saw these flyers posted all over the neighborhood and had to invite the masses. I don’t give a crap about wrestling, real or fake but when you add an awesome mask and change the language, suddenly i’m into it. This is at the old ECW building […]

I’m revealing a bit more of my inner nerd than I’d like but there was a time when I, if asked about a particular band, could rattle off all the “ex-members of ” stats and side projects connected to the band, including all one off releases and joke bands. Certainly not that nerdy in […]

9 Murders in the past 4 days. Way to go Philadelphia, you really know how to have a good time. Keep up the good work. Also Saturday night I was right around the corner from the Broad and Reed murder and my friend walked past the medical guys examining the body, THIS SHIT IS REAL
