You know how parents say they love all their children equally ? Yeah, that’s what I tell myself about every meme listicle I write. But—let’s be honest—just like every parent secretly has a favorite, so do I. And it’s Lord of the Rings memes , by far, without question, no competition. I don’t know what it is about the fandom—maybe Tolkien just attracts the best people—but LOTR memes are consistently some of the smartest, funniest, and most well-crafted treasures the internet has to offer. It’s t…

Roll for priority–another battle has begun

A day may come when we stop posting Lord of the Rings memes, But it is not this day!

If wizards were real, I’m convinced they’d be the strangest people you know. Sure, we all picture someone like Gandalf—wise, mysterious, and a little aloof—but let’s be honest, most real-life wizards would probably be more like Radagast the Brown. You know, the type of person who talks to animals, forgets what day it is, and hasn’t washed their robes since the last lunar eclipse. Wizards give off that “I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe” energy, mixed with “I haven’t slept in three days beca…

The forest canopy above casts dappled shadows as you push through dense underbrush, following the faint whispers of a legend long forgotten . At last, you emerge into a clearing, face-to-face with the entrance to an ancient ruin. Its stone façade is crumbled but still imposing, vines curling around symbols worn smooth by centuries of wind and rain. At its center is a stone door engraved with strange runes. Tracing your fingers over the runes, you notice a faint inscription : "Only those of wit…

When people talk about The Lord of the Rings , they often focus on Frodo, Gandalf, or Aragorn—but let me tell you, the real MVP of Middle-earth is Samwise Gamgee. No joke, Sam is the heart and soul of the entire story. He’s loyal, brave, selfless, and, honestly, way tougher than anyone gives him credit for. I mean, this guy soloed Shelob while wielding Sting and the Phial of Galadriel. If that’s not hero material, I don’t know what is. Sam’s heroism isn’t flashy—it’s quiet, steady, and rooted i…

As a lifelong Dungeons & Dragons fan (and self-proclaimed mediocre dungeon master), there's something magical about how the game brings people together—and also how it makes us laugh at the absolute chaos we manage to create. You know what I mean - The bard seducing a dragon, a rogue “stealthing” through a completely lit room, or a paladin sticking to the rules in the most hilariously inconvenient ways, the D&D community always finds a way to turn our campaigns into meme-worthy moments. 2024 ha…

Lately, my 10-year-old son started playing Dungeons and Dragons with some kids from school. Needless to say, I'm incredibly proud and happy to see a new generation continuing this great tradition. However, I recently had the chance to sit in the kitchen and eavesdrop on their session in the living room, and I have to say—they play the game very differently than my generation (Gen X) ever did. These kids are really getting into it. They leap out of their chairs every few seconds and mime everyth…

As the year winds down, it’s time to celebrate everything that made 2024 a little more geek-tastic. From the Marvel multiverse to the Star Wars galaxy, from Hogwarts to Middle-earth, and from the Upside Down to the Delta Quadrant, we’ve rounded up the 50 funniest, most relatable, and downright clever memes that defined geekdom this year. Whether you’re a fan of Doctor Who, Dungeons and Dragons, or The Legend of Zelda, we’ve got you covered. This listicle is a love letter to all the fandoms that…

The jagged path twists deeper into the earth, the faint roar of rushing water growing louder. Your torchlight flickers against damp walls etched with strange, indecipherable symbols. The tunnel ends at a narrow stone arch spanning a roaring underground river. Carefully, you cross the slick bridge, your pulse quickening as the water churns far below. On the other side, you enter a vast circular chamber. The walls are lined with ancient, cracked statues of armored figures, their stone eyes watchi…

Ok, So Tom Bombadil. Some people were mad that he was cut out of the movie trilogy and some people thought it was a good call by Peter Jackson and Fran Welsh. Personally? - I would have cut him out of the books too. I know, heresy! how dare I question the writings of J.R.R Tolkien ? If he thought Tom Bombadil was necessary to tell his story, who am I to say otherwise? Well, ask yourself this - If you take out Tom Bombadil - does it hurt the plot? Do you have to bend over backwards to re-introdu…

I'm into Star Wars , but I'm also pretty hooked on Star Trek. I'm a fan of Harry Potter, can't get enough of Marvel, but I also appreciate DC. I'm all in for The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and Doctor Who, and let's not forget Dungeons and Dragons. Then there's The Witcher, Pokémon, Zelda, and Super Mario, and I can't leave out Dragon Ball, Naruto, Stranger Things, The Mandalorian, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly . I also enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The…

Dragons >>> Goblins

It is happening again . I feel it in the water . I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air - Another Lord of the Rings extended edition marathon is coming. There is no stopping it. What once only happened every 3-5 years has now become an annual occurrence. The making of the popcorn, The ordering of the pizza, the cuddling of the blankets. An unseen hand reaches for the remote and searches for the 4k versions yet again. And what has been viewed so many times before - shall be viewed once mo…

The narrow stone passage twists and turns, descending into a darkness that seems to swallow all light. Each step you take echoes, reverberating as if the shadows themselves are listening. The air is thick and cold, laced with the smell of damp earth and something else—a faint metallic tang that prickles at the edge of your senses. Finally, the passage opens up, revealing a pair of immense wooden doors bound with corroded iron. A dim torch flickers beside them, casting long, wavering shadows. Wi…

I bet if wizards were real, they'd be the weirdest people you know . We all imagine Gandalf when we think of a wizard (who was a bit eccentric himself), but I bet a real wizard would be more like Radagast the Brown—just a really weird dude who can barely hold a conversation and, for some reason, smells awful. Wizards always seem like they're spaced out, as if they've eaten some weird mushroom growing behind their cupboard. Sure, you need a high level of intelligence to be a wizard , but just lo…
