Stay on target... Stay on target!

Halloween might just top the charts as my all-time favorite holiday. Sure, I'm all about the festive cheer of Christmas, and Thanksgiving feasts hold a special place in my heart, but there's an undeniable allure to Halloween. That classic blend of orange and black? Total game-changer! Honestly, I'm tempted to drench my home in those shades all year long. The real charm of Halloween, though, lies in its celebration of the eerie and mysterious . In today's world, everything's become a tad too san…

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…

Sometimes I think about all those young Star Wars fans back in 1978, sitting at home in front of their 12-inch TV screens, waiting with bated breath for the Star Wars Holiday Special to come on. Just put yourself in their shoes for a second—the only Star Wars they have ever known is the actual "Star Wars" movie they went to see again and again in the cinema because home video isn't even a thing yet. And now they get the promise of an all-new Star Wars adventure. Will it be a continuation of the…

We really can't imagine a geeky convention without cosplay. Every convention, be it Comic-Con, DragonCon, Otakon, or D23, is brought to life by the creativity and passion of cosplayers . You may come for the big announcements, celebrity meet-ups, and of course, the swag, but it’s the cosplayers who make the place magical. Their incredible attention to detail and dedication turn convention centers into immersive worlds where your favorite characters step out of the screen and into reality. These…

Time stops for no one, not even for the rich and famous. One day you are a teenager goofing around in front of the camera in your parents living room, and the next moment you are one of the richest people on earth. One second you are nervous about taking your yearbook photo and the next you have become a rock and roll legend. It's fun to look back at old pictures of famous people and see them as they were before their life had become something else entirely. A young Harrison Ford working as a c…

Cosplay is an art form. Sure, anyone can throw on a costume of their favorite character from pop culture, But some people take the whole thing to the next level . These people spend a lot of time and a lot of money to get their costumes just right. But it's not just about being as close to the original as possible. Sometimes it's all about the idea and execution. I mean, Pulling off a cosplay of Selina Kyle lookin in the mirror and seeing Catwoman is a stroke of genius. But what I find really f…

Federico Mauro is a celebrated Italian artist known for his ability to create striking, minimalist art with profound meaning. In 2013, he released a series called " Famous Guns, " where he compiled and showcased iconic weapons from history, pop culture, and cinema . This unique collection highlights pistols and guns that belong to legendary characters such as John Wayne, Tony Montana, James Bond, Han Solo, and even Jack Sparrow. Mauro's work transcends a simple homage to firearms; it delves int…

"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The memelord? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. he's a meme legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the meme, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the Internet culture to create jokes… He had such a knowledge of the meme side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from having the sad. The meme side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… hilarious. He became so powe…

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…

We love Pokémon, and we love Disney, so this crossover is straight up our alley! Talented artist “Ry-Spirit” reimagined 47 Disney characters as Pokémon, complete with their evolution stages, types, and fun descriptions. Each Disney character goes through an evolution, just like in the Pokémon world, growing more powerful and quirky with each stage. Take Daisy Duck, for example, who starts off as Dai , evolves into DaiSy , and finally becomes Dai-Z , a sassy and bold fairy/flying type. This cros…

Yes, it's still September, but we can't wait for Halloween—our favorite time of the year . We don't know who the genius was that decided Halloween should be the creepiest time of year (and we're too tired to Google it), but we're so happy they did! Our house is already getting more and more black and orange with every passing day as we find ourselves buying every Halloween decoration we can get our hands on. We still haven't decided on a costume yet, but it's not because of a lack of ideas; on…

Is there anything more uplifting and delightful than seeing two nerds getting married? We all know that, as awesome as nerds are, a lot of them had pretty tough dating experiences. Not only are nerds inherently awkward in social situations, but they also have very specific and often unorthodox fields of interest. The combination of these two factors sometimes made finding love a bit of a challenge. That’s why, when two nerds finally do find each other, it's something magical. Their shared love…

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…

It amazes me how, even after watching a movie countless times, I can still find new hidden details that I’ve never noticed before. Many films are packed with Easter eggs and subtle details, just waiting for the keen-eyed viewer to discover, but animated movies really take the cake in that regard. Each animated film takes years to complete, with people laboring over every single frame, so it’s no wonder they sneak in details that aren’t meant to be noticed on the first viewing. Sure, sometimes i…
