5 Superheroes That Need a Better Game – FaN

Hey everyone.  This was a fun little post I did over at Fierce and Nerdy about some of my favorite heroes and why I feel they deserve a better video game based on the merits of each character.  You can check it out here.

Aside from this post, I’ve been busy working on a short film about cleaning my basement.  That doesn’t sound at all interesting when I put it that way, but stick with me and you’ll see soon I promise ;)

Geekend Updates – Feburary 5th, 2010

Nicole and I have run into a fundamental problem each week with our posting.  Lately we’ve worked toward more original posts and less ‘newsy’ posts because we realized there is way too much happening in geek culture each week to aptly catalog with daily posts.  So, starting today we’ll begin posting your geekend updates where you can at-a-glance see all the cool stuff we’ve come across each week.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!
