Oh goodie, yet-another-gift guide filling your feed- BUT WAIT this one has fandom fashions and geek chic suggestions! There is no shortage of companies specializing in nerdy novelty designs (in fact, that too is a company that does oven mitts, pot holders, and aprons using the best fabrics), but maybe you need a lil reminder […]

Blizzard’s annual BlizzCon is happening right now at the Anaheim Convention Center, and the cosplay is ON. POINT. Here’s a gallery of 30 incredible cosplay photos from our friend photographer DTJAAAAM, aka David Ngo: BlizzCon continues through today, you can check out the schedule here.

File this under “fever dreams David Bowie may have had at some point”, but the Godfather of punk Iggy Pop has done a duet with William Shatner, on a Christmas album. Shatner is no stranger to interesting collaborations on his albums, but this one is just strange enough to be perfect.  This’ll be his first Christmas release, and […]

Trent Reznor remains a powerhouse of music, both on stage and in the studio. He’s an Oscar winner now, along with fellow Nine Inch Nails (NIN) bandmate Atticus Ross for their work on The Social Network.

More from our Halloween trip to Disneyland, this time taking a look at the offerings in Disney’s California Adventure side of the Anaheim park, and the seasonal offerings at the newly re-opened Pixar Pier. The area that was previously used for the Lunar New Year event that we told you all about back in February […]

There were many guesses as to what “the costume” of Dragon Con was going to be this year, and almost no one picked Westworld. But obviously, enough fans DID pick Westworld, as this fabulous ‘violent delight’ of cosplay courtesy of Annette Wamser (of Wamser Photography) will show. Our particular favorite is the Delos cleaning crew with the […]

Fandom comes is all colors, shades, nationalities, sexes, and peoples, especially at Dragon Con, which takes place over Labor Day weekend annually in Atlanta, Georgia.  The gathering of the Black Geeks of Dragon Con is one of [literally] hundreds of planned and organized cosplay photoshoots that happen during the convention, and this year it was particularly […]

Nothing like turning a corner during Dragon Con and coming face-to-face with an impressive armored collection of “The Law”- a Judgement of Dredd. We’re still workshopping that collective noun too, but, anytime you see a group of Judge Dredd cosplayers all together, it can be intimidating. Scowls and leather are the name of the game […]
