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.

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?

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 […]

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, […]

Check this video of mad genious Timothy Gowers for a glimpse and, if you’re still awake afterwards, check […]

Bill Murray could [hilariously] face DWI charges after having been pulled over in Stockholm for driving a golf cart through the city’s downtown area. Drunk. Being the ignorant foreigner that I am, I previously assumed that it was pretty commonplace for people in Stockholm to get drunk and ride golf carts around until 4am. Apparently […]

As a youngin’ I was skeptical about the clumsy, bobble-headed “Pizza Time Players” at my local Chuck E. Cheese Crappy Pizza Joint. Even at the tender age of 8 I had a sense that something was awry. Truth be told, that mouse made me uneasy. Little did I know, the only thing that stood between […]

Last week i saw Paprika in the theater, Netflix’d Nacho Libre and The Thing, watched my own dvd of Gunner Palace (got it for free) and watched Love Me- Love My Doll on BBC America. Read on to find out what i think of this grab bag of flix.

We could nitpick all the shit that doesn’t line up from our childhood but you know the second you heard that classic Transformers sound you were hooked. Get psyched!
