When I was in high school, I used to think that I was too strange to hang out with . I could hear everyone talking about the music and TV shows that they liked and it was so far away from what I was watching that I would just smile and nod. They would yap about whatever happened on the latest episode of whatever reality show they were watching, while my mind was still traveling across the latest fictional land I was reding about in my latest book series obsession. But what I learned when I got…

Let's do a Geek test - Close your eyes and think hard about Jerry's apartment from “Seinfeld”. Ok, now open your eyes because you can't read this text with your eyes closed. But let's do a little memory test - I want you to Imagine you are standing in Jerry's kitchen, facing the living room, and now you start walking towards his bedroom. Did you take a right towards the bathroom and then take a hard left right into the bedroom? Pretty impressive considering we never actually saw his bedroom in…

One meme to rule them all, One meme to find them, One meme to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

If you love sci-fi, fantasy, and horror (and between us, who doesn't?) and you grew up in the 80s or 90s, you probably already know about Heavy Metal Magazine, one of the most influential comic magazines of all time. This magazine featured several very distinct stories in each issue - each story presenting a unique art style in a completely different genre . I used to collect these Issues and had an entire section in my comic book collection dedicated to this wonderful magazine. One of the grea…

Meme-vengers... Assemble!

One meme to rule them all, One meme to find them, One meme to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

I sometimes think about the information that is stored in my Brain and how it's about 85% movie quotes and useless trivia about pop culture. If you asked me what my social security number was or what I had for breakfast I Would just stand there, staring at you for a good minute until I give up and declare that I have no idea. But for some reason , I know that Gandalf's horse is called Shadowfax and that the planet in the alien movie is called lv-426. Why? Why would my Brain decide to store that…

This listicle features some the most timeless and iconic movie posters in movie history, and they were all illustrated by one man - Drew Struzan. Now, I'll be honest with you, I never actually given any real thought as to who actually made all these movie posters, simply because I took them for granted. It made sense that awesome movies have awesome posters. I guess I just figured that the studios reach out to several different artists and end up picking the best one and that there was an agree…

I knew all those years of watching TV endlessly and reading Sci-fi books would pay off! All that time I spent reading obscure lord of the Rings facts and watching YouTube deep dives into the intricate history of the Star Wars Universe. Hours upon hours spent in unknown reddit threads, reading overly detailed fan theories and searching through endless Facebook discussions, cramming each piece of useless information into my rotting mind have finally paid off - I got the obscure reference behind t…

One meme to rule them all, One meme to find them, One meme to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

You have a weird sense of humor—FALSE! The jokes and memes you like are objectively funny; they just require prior knowledge of certain pop culture cornerstones that not everyone possesses. While other people's interests and references are based on current world events and mainstream celebrity culture, yours are more obscure and specific. One might even say, more sophisticated. Don't get me wrong, it's still super silly and immature, but it's built on a much more intelligent foundation . For in…

For too long have the nerds been divided. Each guarding their fandom as if it were a precious Arkenstone, each gatekeeping their lore for fear of contaminating it with non-canon events. For too long have the geeks had to fight each other on the battleground of TV quotes and movie references, each trying to hoard their memes in the safety of their own subreddits. But I say no more! Unite, my fellow Nerds and Geeks, My fellow dorks and dweebs! Unite under one banner - the banner of crossover meme…
