Geek Eek!!!: Art Imitating Video Game Life

So I stumbled on Geekologie‘s article on Mario Power-Ups in the Style of a Classic Still Life. Toronto artist Elizabeth Sherry painted a classical still life with Mario Bros. items like mushrooms, turtle shells, or flowers. Quite clever! This and other pieces are available for print at her Etsy store here. I must say. I love when art imitates video…

Way To Go, Anime Expo!

This year was my first time attending Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center. I happened to attend as both a writer for Strawberry Scented Burnout, and as a writer/photographer for SoBiTV Magazine. Unfortunately, I was only able to attend Saturday, July 6, so I’m sure there were a lot of costumes and events that I…

A day at Anime Expo…

Still catching up on entries… Sometimes I hate being behind… On Saturday, 7/6, I’ve had the opportunity to once again attend Anime Expo, even though it was just for one day. I seem to have developed a pattern where I go to AX every two years since I first attended back in 2009. Anyway, let’s…

SDCC 2013: Friends, Family, Geek Nirvana.

First off, thanks to my friends, family, and all you cool geeks that made it out to SDCC 2013.  You all deserve a round of applause. Go ahead, I’ll wait. *waiting* Okay, good.  Here are my pictures from that fun-filled nerd orgy.  Special thanks to my crew, Jabronie Pictures, Detoonified, The Stunt People, Almost Good…

I’d make a pretty awesome Captain Kirk.

San Diego Comic-Con International. The final frontier. This is a voyage of the hardcore geek group STRAWBERRY SCENTED BURNOUT. Its five-year mission (and counting), to seek out new geek endeavors, awesome figurines, cool comic art, dorky cosplay pictures, trippy fights, and to boldly go where no geek has gone before. Does that make me Captain Kirk?…

The NES turns 30

I saw an article on Ars Technica today about the NES. Other than reminding me of how old I really am, it also reminded me of all the good games I played back in those days. Games like Mega Man 2, Double dragon, Dragon warrior 3, Super Mario Bros. (1, 2, and 3) were just…

Late Night Rant: Comic Con Plan of Attack

As Comic Con 2013 approaches, I find myself still scrambling to put together my costumes for each of the days. This is the second year I will be cosplaying and I’m pretty stoked about it. I hope that I am able to put together my costumes on time and I hope that I execute them…

Blink-182’s “First Date”

You know, this is probably my favorite Blink-182 song. Yesterday, I had the chance to spend some time with my family.  And then….it happened.  THE INEVITABLE QUESTIONS. ARE YOU MARRIED? (no) ARE YOU SINGLE? (yes) ARE YOU DATING? (sure, why not?) DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO MY DAUGHTER/NIECE/FAMILY FRIEND/DISTANT RELATIVE FROM MARS? (wha…what!?) It…
