What is one band/group you wish were still...
The Beatles. Alas, it would have to be Zombie Beatles since two of them are dead, and I’m not sure I’m ready for “I Want to Eat Your Brains” instead of “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”
Have a question? I probably have an answer.

Geek News: Eyewear For The Blind Boldly Goes
geeklifedotcom:
While not as inherently stylish as the one worn Geordi La Forge (or the one cosplayed by me that one time), Israeli scientists have brought a little bit of 24th century love and hope to today’s blind community by creating a real-life visor that allows the wearer to ‘see’.

The Wyrm’s Turn: Dealing With Rejection
geeklifedotcom:
Because Valentine’s Day is this week, I wanted to touch on an emotional aspect of gaming that I’m sure many of us have felt at one time or another, romantically or otherwise: rejection. It’s tough and rejection hurts no matter what the subject. It raises all sorts of questions and self doubts: What could I have done better? Did I say the wrong thing? Was cutting off his hand...

Southsea Tunes: The 2012 Grammy Awards (and why...
geeklifedotcom:
The 2012 Grammy Awards took place on Sunday night and the biggest winner of the lot was, unsurprisingly, Adele, who took away five awards including the prestigious gongs for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, for the massively over-played, Rolling in the Deep. In truth, it was a year where the mediocre mainstream ruled with…

I really want someone to make a Once Upon A Time...
Because, seriously, I have always associated that song with Rumplestiltskin.

Grumpy Geek: It’s What We Post That Defines Us
geeklifedotcom:
How many social media apps does it take to tell your friends it’s raining? Clearly no one knows because week after week yet another application is rolled out, expecting me to install and rate, suggesting that if I give it 5 stars, more awesome applications will follow. Really? Enough already! I’m full!

Why My Relationship Status is “It's Complicated”...
geeklifedotcom:
Back in May 2009, I remember hearing a lot of buzz about the pilot for Glee. At the time I didnt check it out; however, that winter, the person I was dating insisted that I watch it. After watching the pilot, I was already a total Gleek.

Elijah: Speaking of game-making, what was the name of the fake game y’all tried to get me into? Tig! Oh my god.
Billy: Tig, it was when we were filming Weathertop, and myself and Dom just started tagging each other, ya know, touching each other and going “tig! tig!” just for no reason. And then Sean came over and started doing it as well. And then we’d say “Tig tig, tig tag,” like, for no reason! And then Elijah came over and said ‘What are you guys doing?’ And we said, ‘oh, we’re playing a game called tig.’ And he says ‘oh, how do you play?’ And then we spent the next two hours making up rules.
Elijah: And trying to teach me, and of course I was getting everything wrong.
Sean: The three of us were ever frustrated that he wasn’t follwing these new rules that we were continuing to make up.
Dom: So we would play and the three of us we constantly getting it right. Every time Elijah tried a new way of tigging someone we’d say ‘No, Elijah, you can’t tig on a tog, you can’t tag on a tig, you have to do an elephant impression if you’re going to tig Billy, if Billy’s going to tig you back you have to get on your knees and take your trousers down.’
Billy: How many times Elijah, you can’t double tig a tag!
Dom: And for like 3 weeks he kept saying how much he enjoyed playing tig.
Billy: Do you remember we forgot to say it was a wind up? And it was like a year later he says ‘Why do we never play tig?’
Elijah: And they finally let the cat out of the bag. My whole world came shattering down on me when they told me that was a lie. For a whole year I believed that was a real game.
