Bela Lugosi – Nerd Icon

True Blood, The Strain, Being Human and yes, even Twilight; we live in an age where the figure of the vampire is more widely known than ever before. Granted, depictions of vampires across all cultures go nearly as far back as human civilisation itself, but our views on the undead have certainly become more nuanced over […]

Justice for Barb Promised in New Season Of Stranger Things

Fear not! Barb is gone, but not forgotten! Rather like kind-hearted chef Benny, Barb, though a minor character was a quick favourite of most viewers. Notable for her loyalty to Nancy and desire to protect her from attentions of Steve Harrington, Barb came to a nasty end. After cutting her hand while attempting to chug […]

Full Trailer For Samurai Jack Season 5 Suggests Darker Tone

“Fifty years have passed…but I do not age…Time has lost its effect on me, yet the suffering continues.” Evidently Jack has been having a bad time of it since the conclusion of season 4. Long time Cartoon Network viewers may recall the last released episode Samurai Jack was ‘Jack and the Baby.’ The episode, a […]

What’s the Use of Feeling Blue – Steven Universe – TOTD

*This article contains massive spoilers for Steven Universe!* From her brief appearance in Message Received, it seems we had the measure of Yellow Diamond.

Geeks on Tour – Excellent Edinburgh

I first came to Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival of 2014. The city was buzzing with life during August, featuring some of the best comedy, music, and theatre this side of the globe. But it was only once I settled into this city to begin my M.A. that I was able to appreciate its rich […]

‘Oppa Toby Style’- Toby “Radiation” Fox- Track of the Day

Oppa Toby Style is the second track of the [S] Collide album, which accompanied the penultimate flash animation in the popular Homestuck. Toby Fox, of Undertale fame, is a longtime musical contributor to Andrew Hussie’s webcomic. Consequently, a deep familiarity is visible in the track, reusing chords from several previous pieces. Probably the best thing about this song is its cringe-inducing […]

Star Trek Next Generation Lawn Gnomes Now Available

Following the success of their Star Trek garden gnomes, ThinkGeek.com has released a Next Generation line. The set features Riker (who in fairness was already aesthetically halfway to gnomehood), Data, Picard and Worf. My personal favourite is the Borg gnome, which I can’t help imagining working as a form of home defence in the style […]

Doctor Strange Will Take Part in Infinity War

Good news, Benedict Cumberbatch fans; it looks like Doctor Strange will be joining the Avengers in Infinity War! In an interview with ScreenRant, Cumberbatch seemingly let this detail slip. “There’s so much going on in this film” he remarked during his London press tour, ” I won’t spoil it for you – but there’s a […]

Neil deGrasse Tyson To Guest Star In Regular Show

Regular Show is going all out for its latest Hallowe’en special, with noted astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson making an appearance. This is likely because season 8 is the final series of J. G. Quintel’s highly successful animated series. Season 8 takes place entirely in space, and is therefore, perfect for an astrophysicist. Regular Show Hallowe’en […]
