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

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 […]

I poindextered this video from god plays dice. Not too long ago they had a sweet article on optimizing your baby mama/daddy. Math on.

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.

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.

There’s a ton of graffiti by my office (I work in industrial north Williamsburg, Brooklyn), but this is the coolest piece I have seen. I did some googling and it turns out, there’s more!

Do all of you know about etsy.com? It’s a rad website where you can buy handmade stuff straight from the seller and not bother with auction madness. I hereby pledge to wade through the billions of wares sold on etsy to periodically bring you the best in nerdy arts and crafts. After the jump: cthulhu, […]

I’ve been neglecting FV for far too long, but the truth is that I got tired of trashing tattoos. Sure, it’s funny to laugh at awful tattoos, but after I was at it for a while, it started to get depressing. There were just so many of them.
So now I’m changing my game plan […]

Now that the ultra secret, exclusive nerd board is busting at the seams i decided i would post some of the stuff people are writing wether they like it or not. “Myspace” Tom wrote a shitload of reviews of the XNA games that were announced at the GDC last week and put up for […]

“Friends, now is the time to calm the waves we have stirred.” said Marc Whitten, GM of Xbox Live, to his colleagues after weeks of his service being plagued by outages and inoperability. He continued, “We’re going to give them a free game, we’re going to give them Undertow.”

This is kind of last weeks news but any n00bz out there might have missed it. The Official Charles Barkley: Shut up and Jam game trailer. I’m just going to let them explain it to you…
“The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the […]

Check out this awesome Big Daddy / Little Sister Halloween get up. So cute i want to puke. If you don’t know what this is referencing you are not nerdy enough. RAPTURE.

This is part of a new series i’m going to do because i read, see, buy, and listen to a lot of shit every week / month but i’m too lazy and too distracted to sit and write something about each thing cohesively. Now i will give you only the info you need to […]

Huzzah! The Mets fell apart and now the Phillies are headed to the playoffs. My vampire ass definitely fears the curse, but perhaps this could be our year!

It was just after 5 pm and the hype train had been running through my head all day. In less then an hour I would be at Microsoft’s New York offices playing halo3 with countless other gaming nerds. I had scored this rare and prized opportunity through a friend […]

As requested: awful and nerdy videogame tattoos. This is the first of what I am sure will be many installments: console and controller tattoos.
Please keep in mind that these are in the category “good execution, bad idea” — the artist did a good job (although those stars up top look really squished and weird and, […]

Unlike us there are some bloggers out there that actually try to put something out there daily and engage the reader, and gasp even inform them. One of those dudes is Gamerdad. He runs a blog about well being a gamer and a dad and gaming with children. Gamerpops recently suffered a heart attack and […]

So as we wrote last week, we here at the FV Fun Palace got our bloody hands on a couple copies of Bioshock a full week before release thanks to the screw ups at Toys R Us. I’ve been playing the crap out of this game and i’m going to tell you a bit about […]

Above is a sample of the gameplay in the soon-to-be-released Guitar Hero III. My hands hurt just from watching this. I think Joel Zumaya has already scheduled a trip to the DL for the ‘08 season.

In keeping with our theme this week of video game nerdiness, I decided to search out the Mountain Dew® Limited Edition Halo® 3 Game Fuel(tm) and give it a scientific groping and tasting. Then of course we needed to ruin your day by making you read about it. Proceed with caution, Master Chief and Caffeine […]
