At long last the day we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. Thanks to Etsy seller “riomccarthy” you can have this handmade polar fleece cap inspired by everyone’s favorite rapping game for a mere $20. Are you willing to sacrifice a night of Cheetos and Mountain Dew to have this? I think i am. […]

I got an invite on flickr to allow my d20 tattoo to be added to a geek tattoo group. Obviously, I accepted. Browsing through it, I also came across some new geeky tattoos that I haven’t seen before. The good, the bad, and the WTF? after the jump:

This wins my award for “nerdiest rap thus far.” They get bonus points from me for including ALICE in the chorus (rumor has it I was named Alice because of ALICE). I also love love love the adorable dancing scientists! A++ video. This made my Friday.

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

To continue my Doctor Who for Beginners series I began a million years ago with Daleks for Dummies, I’d like to start a new subseries where I introduce you to each of the Doctors and plow my way through the first four so I can start talking shit about Davison, Colin Baker, and McCoy. […]

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a huge soft spot for what I call “nerdy scientist movies”. These movies are always terrible, but the plucky and endearing scientist characters make the movies worth watching. Think: Twister, The Core, andJurassic Park (though Jurassic Park is also awesome because of the dinosaurs, obviously). […]

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 […]

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.

Natalie Portman (who FV nerd-types may know from her role as Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars prequels Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith) has always been an advocate of environmental causes. We’ve been slacking a bit on the style info here at FV. Anyway, I just found out that Ms. […]

We’re living in the future!
The other day my friend rented a car and THERE WAS NO KEY! It was just a weird looking black electronic stick instead. Today, I find out that there are robots that REASSEMBLE THEMSELVES when they’re kicked apart. What am I going to find out tomorrow? That Iron Man actually exists?

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).

Whoa, i was trying to show a coworker Japan’s favorite Holy Poop Shinto cellphone strap charm when i came across this wonderful R2-D2 soy sauce dispenser. this is definitely a must have! They even have other astromech droid styles available along with star wars shampoo dispensers, doo-rags, key covers and more. God Praise Nippon! more […]

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.

The LARP I went to this weekend is an Asian-themed game, a kind of mashup of Eastern fantasy elements, with Samurai and Ninjas and dragons and demons. It’s really fun, and it’s nice to get away from the Tolkienesque fantasy cliches found so often in gaming. I tried to take pictures for you guys, […]

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 […]

This weekend is the 5th annual Bent Festival in NYC. May 1st it’s in Minneapolis. I wish I could go to this, but I’m going LARPing out of town instead (for serious).
The Bent Festival is an annual art and music festival celebrating DIY electronics, hardware hacking, and circuit bending. Each year we invite artists […]

Have you been watching Battlestar Galactica? If so, you will notice that they show a beautiful and multi-colored space, much like NASA’s Hubble photographs. I took a screengrab, above, to illustrate the point. But is that how space would really look to the human eye, as suggested by BSG? This bugged me to no end, […]

Apparently some awesomely nerdy weirdoes in Wales have started a Jedi Church. Well Arwell Wynn Hughes, aka Drunken Vader was getting a bit impatient waiting for the homily to begin. Mind you he had jusssssst a little to drink and was wearing a GARBAGE BAG. So he decided to take the Force into his own […]

Hey, so there’s this awesome thing called Rockbox. It’s open-source firmware for your mp3 player. They support Apple, Archos, Cowon, iriver, Olympus, SanDisk, and Toshiba mp3 players. And they are AWESOME. I bought an iAudio x5 a while back and while I was really happy with the hardware, I wasn’t happy with the firmware. I […]
