The works of Joss Whedon may be incredibly, sometimes annoyingly, popular with us denizens of the internet, but one aspect of this fan community that many outsiders are unaware of is how studied his work is in the academic community. You may think I should put “studied” in sarcastic quote marks, but I can’t think of a single TV show other than Buffy the Vampire Slayer that…

Returning to Geek Life, Mike – or as he’s better known on these here Internets, Stirlock – is back with a new audio review! It might also be a podcast, but it probably isn’t. What it definitely is though, is an extravaganza.

This book is tough to classify and tougher to start reading! To put it bluntly, this is an oddly outstanding piece of literature. I have had this book loaded onto my iPad for a few months, and I started reading it as soon as. I downloaded it and, to be honest, didn’t think I would like it – actually, I didn’t know if I could even comprehend it.

The first few pages of this story left me wondering what the book was about and why should I keep reading it. I left it at that. Those first few pages left me feeling the way a teenaged boy feels when he gets caught looking down girls shirts…

There is a company out there called G-Form and they mean business. They were kind enough to send me one of their iPad protective sleeves and to say I’m impressed is an understatement.

Tablets of any type are an investment and the iPad is no exception. For those of you who…

Nic Cage has channelled the non-dead spirit of William Shatner and somehow has become a sociopathic, pseudo-serial killer dad who dresses like Batman!

I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. But I had to get that out. Let’s back up a few steps and I’ll

Wow, I have to admit that I’ve been pretty excited about what Wizard’s of the Coast has been releasing lately. At GenCon I got to try out a press only sneak peak of the D&D Encounters adventure The Lost Crown of Neverwinter as run by James Wyatt, one of the creators of 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons. Other than the fact that I would have very much liked more than the hour we were allotted to see Mr. Wyatt’s GM style, I was impressed by the…

If it had not been for a text from my Dad one lunchtime last week and his random discovery on Twitter, then this look into an emerging unique subculture of British society would have completely passed me by. So, you know, thanks, Dad.

The latest from Channel 4’s award winning ‘First Cut’ series – a platform for new, upcoming and aspiring young directors – ‘Superheroes of Suburbia’, despite initial doubt born from the absolutely surreal nature of the content, is indeed a documentary.

Geek-Life.com Tumblr: Movie Review: Senna

geeklifedotcom:

Remember where you were when you found out John Lennon died? How about Princess Diana or even Jeff Buckley? I remember where I was when I saw Ayrton Senna die. It is a moment etched into my memory, easily recognisable and quick to recall. I was 14.

How do you say something about Ayrton Senna…
