All praise Baby Jesus Kraang!
This is my submission for the 2012 Action Figure Nativity contest that's going on over at Lair of the Dork Horde. I don't have many toys besides the new TMNT stuff and some odd Mario and Homestar Runner figurines, so I had to get a little creative. (Click to...
Because I’ve been a good girl this year…
...also because Target was having a sale. I finally pulled the trigger on the 3DS. I've only been lusting after it for the entirety of 2012, here, here and here. I've been working very hard lately, so I think I deserve it. I've been too busy and stressed out to...
I Back to the Future-Proofed My Christmas Tree
I didn't realize there was a startling lack of Back to the Future representation on my Christmas tree until I received this DeLorean ornament today. I got Star Wars and Ninja Turtles covered, but Back to the Future? Nothing, I'm ashamed to say. But I feel better...
‘Robot Unicorn Attack’ Now in 8-Bit!
I didn't think it was possible to improve upon the perfection that is Robot Unicorn Attack, Cartoon Network's famous free game that combines two of the most magical (also gayest) things ever--unicorns and Erasure music--but HOLY SHIT they did. Behold the pixelated,...
‘The Hobbit’ reviews are in! Aaaaand they’re terrible.
Well, the reviews have started to roll in and so far it's looking like The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is an unexpected disappointment, not that that will stop it from making shitloads of money. It currently only has a 65% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which...
My dream job is to do nothing.
This week's assignment from The League was an interesting one: If money was not a concern and you could choose any career path, what would be your ultimate dream job? Well, first of all, there's a false assumption here that I would want to have this thing called "a...
The Chinese Takeout Meal Wheel, Or Why My Twitter Friends Are Awesome
It started as an innocent, totally not serious tweet: [tweet https://twitter.com/shezcrafti/status/278678761803751424] See, there's this Chinese place up the street called Wok To Go I order from all the time. No, I mean, like all the time. We're talking 3-4 times a...
Pop Art Pop Tart: Moving LEGO Nyan Cat
Well this is certainly the most internet-y of internet-iest things I've seen today. An animated, moving LEGO sculpture of perennial favorite internet meme, Nyan Cat...in a Flickr video. The only thing more internet bait-worthy would be a Gangnam Style Christmas...
Merry Geekmas! Come get your presents!
Yeah, you heard me. Presents! Thanksgiving may be over, but I'm feeling especially thankful right now, in this moment. In the span of a single month, I survived a hurricane, lost my job AND my car died on the same day (that's what this post was all about, by the...
The Modern ‘Streets of Rage’ Game We’ll (Probably) Never Get
This surfaced on YouTube today, and as a huge fan of the original Streets of Rage games (especially the music) for Sega Genesis, my 90's nostalgia was instantly kicked into high gear. Apparently this clip is from a pre-alpha version of a next gen Streets of Rage...
5 Awesome Free Ninja Games in Honor of Ninja Day
Happy Ninja Day! If I were a real ninja you'd be dead before you finished reading this sentence, but alas, I am not, so I have to settle for pretending to be one in video games. I'd probably be a pretty fail ninja anyway, what with my being a fat disgusting slob...
