This week The League is trading our unwanted stuff ! I’ve got plenty of that around here, but I tried to pick something that I know you guys in The League might actually want–that is, unless any of you are interested in Hello Kitty stuff or Insane Clown Posse CDs… Anyone? Bueller? Didn’t think so. So, […]

When the zombie apocalypse happens– and it will –you’re going to need a good set of playing cards to pass the time with other survivors. I suggest Bicycle Zombie Playing Cards : You really can’t go wrong with Bicycles. They’ve been making these cards since 1885. You think a little thing like the zombie apocalypse […]

Last Saturday I was among the privileged few invited to Pinkerton Road , the game studio and home of famed game designer and author Jane Jensen–one of my personal heroes of the video games industry. She’s the ex-Sierra Online designer behind the successful ‘90s computer game series Gabriel Knight and more recently, one of my […]

So yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Sixteen days, to be exact. The past few weeks have been a blur of work (of both the kind that pays the bills and the kind that doesn’t), sleep, and time with family, punctuated by a business trip to NYC, the fulfillment of one of […]

This week The League wants to know what our guilty pleasures are. Well friends (that is, if you still want to be friends after this) the time has come for me to reveal my secret shame: my deep and unconditional love for Ace of Base. I’ve been sitting on this gem for a long time, […]

I was on my way to the bank this morning when I saw this sign: My first reaction was excitement, thinking the zombie apocalypse had finally come. Then I got a little further into town–where all the bars are–and realized it’s St. Patty’s Day weekend, and by “walkers” this sign is referring to drunk and disorderly […]

What does it say about me that on my recent fantasy shopping spree to Hakes Americana & Collectibles I only came away with $1639.00 worth of stuff? I had carte blanche with my pretend money to purchase all the coolest, most ridiculously expensive pop culture artifacts I wanted, but wound up buying tschotskes and a couple […]

The color of the day is red, like Honey Boo Boo’s neck. Or cats dressed like lobsters . Or the ex-Power Ranger who does gay porn now ‚ and other awful red things you would have probably never thought of on your own. You’re welcome. This week The League threw down a red photo challenge . I […]

It’s not often something that’s actually educational sneaks into my feed reader, and even less often when that something perfectly aligns with one of my weird interests in some way and I end up giving two shits and posting about it. Today is one of those days. But first, here’s the history lesson from Geekosystem that […]

Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage, back to the early 90s when a lesser-known music video channel known as The Box used to exist. With the tagline “Music television you control,” The Box let viewers call a 1–900 number to pay $1.99 to play any music video through its automated phone system, using […]

If I could pay you in valuable rare artifacts like Hayata’s Beta Capsule or Fyndoro’s Tablet of Finding, I would. At the very least I would send your avatar some OASIS credits, even though I’m only a third level noob who’s never ventured far beyond the planet Ludus. After spending the past few days glued […]

I want money, lots and lots of money, so I can buy all this cool stuff at Hake’s! This week’s assignment from The League was to pretend money is no object and go on a fantasy shopping spree at Hake’s Americana & Collectibles . Part of Baltimore’s famous Geppi’s Entertainment Museum, Hake’s is a huge […]

You don’t have to tell me how sad it is that I’m excited about Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos. I already know. But combining this excitement with a Spanish-language version of Lionel Richie’s quintessential 80s ballad “Hello”? Someone at Taco Bell understands me better than I understand myself. I made this anatomically incorrect picture in […]

In last month’s poll, I asked you guys who should be kicked out of Full House. Personally, I threw in a vote for Joey, because what does Joey even do ? Sure, he’s supposedly there to help raise the girls and be the comic relief, but what does he really contribute besides wearing the most […]

Reblogging because 90s! You’re still running Windows 95, right? Someone over at College Humor –presumably named Douglas Engelbert–has created a browser-based game (and I’m using the word “game” pretty loosely here) where literally all you have to do is scroll your mouse! Note the extreme mid-90’s aesthetics. You haven’t seen graphics this intense since Game Genie. [Start […]

With the 85th Annual Academy Awards having come and gone, this week’s League topic was an Oscar-worthy one. But the thing is, I don’t really care about the Academy Awards like I once used to. I can’t stand the pretentiousness, the media hype, the scripted jokes. Not even Seth MacFarlane hosting this year was enough […]

Over at Cult Film Club , things are getting personal (and a little weird) as I relive the days I spent in my bedroom daydreaming about hot young actors from my favorite movies. In my list of Top 10 Movie Crushes of the 80s , I reveal all the movie stars who captured my nerdy, […]

When my buddy Shawn from Branded in the 80s told me he was sending a couple of TMNT comic books my way, that’s all I expected–a couple of TMNT comic books. I didn’t expect a giant box full of extra goodies and TMNT stuff in addition to the comics, but this is Shawn, and he’s […]

Note to readers: re-publishing this list from last year! :) It’s Valentine’s Day! And what more could you want than YET ANOTHER list about video game couples? I know you’re excited. Don’t try to hide it. I realize there’s no shortage of lists out there about video game couples. I’ve seen them all: “Best Couples”, “Greatest […]
