In a game where everything is decided by the roll of the dice , it's no wonder some gamers get irrationally angry at their inanimate dice and feel the need to publicly shame them for their 'misbehavior.' It's funny to see how Dungeons and Dragons players treat their dice as if they are a spiritual entity that has a mind of it's own and can be appeased (or angered) by certain behaviors. Some players kiss the dice before rolling them, some whisper a little prayer to them before an important roll…

It's time to get random! who says everything has to be structured and ‘by the book’? In fact, the more I look at it, the more I realize how much we value randomness, especially in this point in history. Just look at the way you spend your free time - either channel surfing on TV, doom-scrolling on social media, or listening to a randomized playlist on Spotify - we love randomness! I personally get really annoyed with algorithms if they start offering me the same type of content over and over. S…

I think part of my geeky “Rizz” (as the kids today would say) is that I have none. This was, of course, a huge problem back when I was a teenager, just trying to get girls' attention, But I feel like times have changed a lot. Back in the 80s and 90s there was nothing less appealing than a nerd. You were a “Steve Urkel” or a “Screech” - meaning the least desirable person in the entire school, destined to be forever ridiculed and taunted. You were social poison!. However, times have changed , esp…

Sul Sul!

Save this list for later use: We all know Star trek fans are known as “Trekkies” and Dr. Who fans are known as “Whovians”, And you might know Firefly fans call themselves “Browncoats”. So here are several more fandoms and the nickname they refer to themselves: Harry Potter fans: “Potterheads” Sherlock Holmes fans (BBC version): “Sherlockians” Marvel Universe fans: "True Believers" The X-Files fans: “X-Philes” Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans: “Scoobies” The Walking Dead fans: “Deadheads” Battlesta…

What happened to horror films ? I remember going to the movies with my friends back in the 80s and 90s and watching some truly disturbing horror movies filled with blood and guts and all kinds of monsters and serial killers. But for the last 20 years I feel like all horror movies are exactly the same - A family moves to an old house, weird stuff happened, people are killed, turns out it was haunted. That's pretty much it. They have become so formulaic and lean so heavily into jump scares, I jus…

Being witty is better than being correct.

Sometimes I feel like we were transported to a different universe right after Avengers: Endgame . It's like Tony Stark died, Then we had a global pandemic, then civil unrest, several wars, Betty White Died and mumble rap lives on, but it also seems like we accidentally stepped into a universe where Marvel forgot how to run a cinematic universe. Remember the time when Marvel could do no wrong? When every single movie they produced broke box office records and got both the fans and the critics ex…

The Great Hall of Memes

For some reason, Necromancers got a bad reputation . Everyone thinks that they are just evil magic users who dabble in black magic and bend the will of the dead to their own. But tell me this - Is it really evil to reanimate a person's lifeless corpse so you can add him to your ever-growing army on undead minions in your lifelong pursuit of global domination? I mean that dude isn't doing anything with his corpse, it's just laying there, in the dirt, collecting dust worms. I'm sure that if he st…

As I upload this listicle I am thinking about the artist that are behind all these classical paintings and my heart goes out to them. I mean, it's one thing to upload a photo or a video to the internet and have it turned into a meme by a bunch of strangers, But it's an entirely different thing altogether when it comes to these paintings. These weren't some sketches people whipped up in an hour; These are paintings that took weeks, sometimes months or even years to complete. Someone poured their…

Welcome, back anime fans and stans. That's right - this week there were no memes to help you Shonen Jump into the work week . Instead, we are giving you a much-needed, mid-week push of motivation so that you can make it through and hold out like a shōnen or seinen protagonist till the weekend. If this collection of memes doesn't do it for you, maybe it will trigger your imagination, and you can spend the rest of your workweek daydreaming of being isekai'd into your favorite anime . Of course, m…

We all know the drill by now: The Coyote is trying to trick the Roadrunner by painting a tunnel on the side of a cliff and somehow the Roadrunner manages to run through it, But when the Coyote tries to run after him, he immediately smashes into the wall. That's the whole point of cartoons, that they are not bound by any laws of nature and absolutely ANYTHING can happen - Animals can talk, Grandparents can travel between dimensions, and a sponge can live in a pineapple under the sea - anything g…

We didn't know how good we had it back in the 80s and 90s . Looking back, it seems like every year back then was a banger. Timeless classics would hit cinema one after the other and we would go and see them all! and once home video came around there was no stopping us! huge piles of VHS tapes stacked on top of each other, each containing some of the best, most imaginative movies that cinema goers had ever seen. It truly was a golden age of cinema and we were there at the right time and at the r…

This listicle is like hitting "Shuffle" on your browser history (Do people still use "Shuffle" anymore? It used to be such a big deal that apple came out with the iPod Shuffle that will only play random playlists, Remember that?) It has a little bit of everything - Some Star Wars mixed with Alien, some Ghostbusters mixed with Lord of the Rings, Back to the future with Die Hard - anything goes! This is the secret to a good Geeky T-shirt, too, By the way - If you want people stopping you on the s…
