Once you dip your toes into nerd culture , there’s no going back—it pulls you in like a black hole, and suddenly you’re lightyears away from “normal.” It starts innocently enough: a friend tells you to watch Star Wars , and next thing you know, you’re knee-deep in The Expanse while comparing Star Trek captains and buying model ships for your shelf. Maybe you crack open The Hobbit one day, and the next you’re shouting battle cries during a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, surrounded by dice and snac…

The first time I stumbled upon Jed Henry’s work —I was scrolling through some random corner of the internet, and for a split second, I genuinely thought I had discovered a collection of ancient Japanese woodblock prints. The intricate detail, the vibrant yet weathered colors, and the unmistakable ukiyo-e style—it all looked so authentic. Then I spotted something that didn’t quite fit: was that Mario leaping over a Goomba? And wait, is that Link battling Ganon? It hit me like a ton of cherry blo…

Does anyone else feel like we stumbled into a weird alternate timeline right after Avengers: Endgame ? It’s not just the global chaos—pandemics, wars, and whatever Skibidi is supposed to be—but also the fact that Marvel seems... off. I remember when Marvel was untouchable, when every movie they released felt like a cultural event, smashing box office records and turning critics into fanboys. That golden age where each new project was met with sky-high expectations and somehow still managed to e…

I think we can all agree that it's officially not "just a phase" anymore. I'm 48 years old and still love Disney with my entire heart . It's not going away, folks! And you know what? Watching my kids enjoy those same magical movies and sing those same songs makes me realize just how much Disney magic truly spans across generations. My kids are growing up with Disney as part of their DNA, just like I did. So, here's to embracing our love for Disney—at any age—and enjoying a collection of Disney…

Every time I walk into a convention, I’m completely in awe of the cosplayers who transform themselves into walking works of art. The intricate designs, the meticulous attention to detail, the pure dedication—it’s all absolutely mind-blowing. I always think, “I’d love to do that someday,” but then I remember I have neither the talent to sew a button back onto a shirt nor the courage to parade around in a full superhero suit in front of thousands of strangers. So, for now, I’ll stick to being a v…

Nerdiness is a hell of a drug . Once you try one science fiction movie and like it, it's impossible to stop. One of your friends suggests you give Star Wars a try, and a week later, you are binge-watching Battlestar Galactica and buying Star Trek Funko Pops. You read one chapter of Lord of the Rings, and you suddenly find yourself knee-deep in a Dungeons and Dragons session with a bunch of sweaty, role-playing nerds . Also, your very definition of what is cool changes completely. You used to th…

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…

Unironically, " The Mummy " (1999) is one of my all-time favorite movies—no joke. There’s just something about it that hits all the right notes. From the incredible cast to the heart-pounding action, the cheeky humor, and that perfect mix of adventure and horror, it’s a film that knows exactly what it wants to be and nails it every step of the way. Brendan Fraser as the swashbuckling Rick O'Connell? Iconic. Rachel Weisz bringing brains and charm as Evelyn Carnahan? Perfection. Not to mention th…

When Back to the Future hit theaters in 1985, it instantly became one of those rare movies that was more than just a film —it was an experience. It had everything: humor, adventure, heart, and, of course, time travel. For me, seeing Marty McFly go from skateboarding to playing "Johnny B. Goode" on stage, all while trying to make sure he didn't erase himself from existence, was pure magic. Decades later, it's still the quintessential '80s movie, and it somehow manages to remain just as entertain…

When Jurassic Park roared into theaters in 1993, it had an unshakable grip on audiences everywhere. It wasn't just a movie; it was a cultural event. The groundbreaking special effects, the thrilling suspense, the towering dinosaurs—it was like nothing anyone had ever seen. Even more than 30 years later, and despite numerous sequels, the original Jurassic Park still holds up as one of the best sci-fi thrillers ever made. Its impact lingers not just because of the nostalgia, but because it was—an…

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to raise Pokemon as actual pets (and between you and me, who hasn't?) than this listicle is just for you. Artist and game developer “olyester” paints these amazing works of art that show slices of life with pet pokemon. as far as we understand people send them actual pictures of their pets and olyester draws the pokemon version of the picture

I like Star Wars, but I also like Star Trek, and of course Harry Potter, and Marvel, and also DC Comics, and Lord of the Rings , and Game of Thrones, and Doctor Who, and Dungeons and Dragons, and obviously The Witcher, but also Pokémon, and Zelda, and Super Mario, but also Dragon Ball, and Naruto, and Stranger Things, and I like The Mandalorian, and Battlestar Galactica, and let's not forget Firefly, and Halo. I also enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Matrix…

I have mixed feelings about Zoom meetings. On the one hand, I love that I can attend work meetings from home in my underwear (with a nice shirt on, of course). It's convenient, saves time, and means I don't have to drive to the office every time the boss shares news that could have been an email. On the other hand, it sometimes feels like all we do now is Zoom meeting after Zoom meeting. It's kind of insane how much time we spend on Zoom calls . However, one way to make these meetings more fun…
