I’m going to see the movie in 3 hours and I cannot wait!!! I am avoiding all blog posts and reviews so as not to spoil it for myself, but I can’t stop thinking about the X-Files. So, I’m doing a post about two of my favorite things in the world: tattoos, and The X-Files.

Who knew that lunch could be this awesome? After the jump, more incredibly nerdy bento boxes.

As more and more details about the upcoming Treyarch game, CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR, emerge, a number of fans are left wondering what those crazy devs are thinking. Since the Great War that gave us the Greatest Generation keeps trying again and again to give us a Great Game AND to […]

Or do we?
I don’t know anymore, mang. My brain is so fried and we’ve been totally slacking on updating you on all the cool and exciting things going on in our worlds. Hopefully sometime soon we’ll get out act together a bit more and re-focus on posting more dumb awesome interviews and other crazy/stupid/weird […]

Age of Conan went live last week, and I couldn’t help but see how it compared to Funcom’s last MMORPG offering: Anarchy Online. I just got it yesterday; follow the jump to read my impressions.

Happy May Day. Go out and celebrate the workers of the world (if you’re really into Propaghandi) or Walpurgisnacht (if you prefer Sabbath). Either way, drink a Maibock.
Think of Maibock as sort of the traditional German equivalent of malt liquor. It’s light in color and body, sweet and dangerously high in alcohol. Unlike malt liquor, […]

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.

A new ” X-Files 2: I Want To Believe” production photo was released today, and it’s got the fans talking! Only click through if you want the movie spoiled for you (unless it’s just a big misinformation campaign).

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.
I found an etsy seller who makes awesome Star Wars Amigurumi. Keep reading for more, plus other nerdy arts and crafts.

Every week, Young, Dumb and Full of Beer will highlight a different beer. Sometimes it will highlight a couple of beers. Usually they will be local, since Philly has some of the best breweries in the country, but sometimes I will throw in a beer from elsewhere. It will be nerdy, but hopefully approachable, even […]

More than enough has been written about Diplo, and if I have to ever read another interview where he talks about moving to North Philly, starting Hollertronix, breaking up with MIA, or popularizing Crunk, I may have to start poppin’ glocks down at the local alt weekly offices.But with amidst all the furious typing, one […]

WFMU is one of the best radio stations on the air today and the Best Show is, uh, one of the best shows on the station. On April 1st, the show got even better for Herbie Shellenberger (the guy with the V-neck sweater on) of the excellent Philly indie-pop group Brown Recluse Sings - Tom […]

I’ve admitted as much on here before but it bears repeating - I care more about gross ballpark food than I do about baseball. We were thrilled when Citizens Bank Park offered up some amazing vegetarian options last year. But when Hans FV went to a game to investigate, he was let down. Never one […]

Finally, we’re number one at something - and that something is the Number One American Sports Mascot as reported by Forbes.com

When I was in high school my friend Andy’s dad used to tease us about being punk rockers. Unlike getting made fun of by our own parents, this ribbing was OK by us because Andy’s dad was Ben Vaughn and Ben Vaughn already knew about being a punk rocker.He was one - way back in […]

I think that it’s probably no secret that I really do think that Clockcleaner are one of (if not thee) best bands that the City of Brotherly Love has to offer. And, while I have mixed feelings about the perceived power of the Pitchforkmedia website, I was pretty excited to see Clockcleaner’s Load Records debut - Babylon […]

Hyski O’Rooney McVoutie O’Zoot 1934-2007
Hy was a true Philadelphia legend who basically introduced rock n’ roll to the city. His weekly sock hops were very popular with teens in the 60’s. He was on several radio stations, most notably WIBG and then WOGL, during a career spanning 5-decades. He was also on syndicated television shows […]

This is kind of next level - this avant-weirdo indie noise band Z’s and their label, Planaria, sent The Howard Stern Show some music and Howard and the gang not only played the music on the air but pretty much goofed on the band the entire time! You couldn’t ask for better coverage. Supposedly, Stern […]
