Author: Nicholas Greene

“I write for the same reason I breathe, because if I didn’t, I would die.”- (Isaac Asimov) Few quotes describe Nick as well as that one. A writer and geek from the day he was born, Nick’s been writing since he was old enough to hold a pen and gaming for even longer. His love of the written word is only matched by his love of gaming and technology. When he’s not writing, he spends his time gaming, with friends, or zoning in on the latest trends in the industry.

Minecraft Replica Of Westeros Puts Your Dirt Hut To Shame

Minecraft Replica Of Westeros Puts Your Dirt Hut To Shame

I like to think I'm pretty good at Minecraft. I can build some pretty impressive stuff, given the time and inclination. What's more, the stuff I make looks good. It looks cool. But compared to this series of builds by fortunatemend and his crew, it looks like utter crap. This fellow, along with what ...
Clockwork Horrors & Ancient Time Lords At PAX East

Clockwork Horrors & Ancient Time Lords At PAX East

There's always some awesome stuff to be found on Reddit, though sadly, I have to admit that I wasn't the one who discovered this one this time around. Designed by the wonderfully talented Clara Kim, the costume is designed after the Clockwork Androids from the Doctor Who episode "The Girl in the Fir ...
Wreck-It Ralph Is A Gamer’s Trip Down Memory Lane

Wreck-It Ralph Is A Gamer’s Trip Down Memory Lane

One of the most exciting things I saw at E3 didn't even have anything to do with gaming. Well, not directly, anyway. Turns out, Disney's got an awesome new animated film in the works. It's called Wreck-It Ralph, and it tells the story of an 8-bit, 1990s video game villain who's suffering an identity ...
Absurd Etsy Posting Offers To Put Nicholas Cage In Any Picture

Absurd Etsy Posting Offers To Put Nicholas Cage In Any Picture

The things you find on Etsy... I'm honestly still trying to figure out if this one's serious or not (I'm leaning towards not), but someone's made a post offering to help people look more like Nicholas Cage, at least in their photos. Photoshop ahoy- whoever sends a picture to the seller with a paymen ...

See The Scale Of The Universe: Prepare To Be Blown Away

I love learning, and I'm positively thrilled whenever I get the chance to gather new information (I'm strange like that). That's why I find the application I'm sharing with you today so fascinating - it's essentially an interactive encyclopedia. Sort of. Let's back up a bit. We've always been told h ...
Find Out If You Share A Birthday With Batman [Infographic]

Find Out If You Share A Birthday With Batman [Infographic]

Everybody loves finding out facts about their favorite fictional characters, right? I can't be the only one who thinks it'd be interesting to know how The Doctor would feel about modern music, or what drink The Joker would order at a bar. It shouldn't be much of a surprise then that this series of i ...
Play Nintendo On A Nintendo Cartridge

Play Nintendo On A Nintendo Cartridge

Yo Dawg, I heard you like Nintendo games... Sorry, I couldn't resist. Now, I'm sure there's more than one child of the nineties here who remembers the Nintendo console. I'll always hold a special place for it in my heart. The SNES might've been the first console I owned, but the NES was the fi ...
The Terrible Power Of Mass Effect’s Character Creator

The Terrible Power Of Mass Effect’s Character Creator

For some people, the opportunity to create their own character with which to live out a rich, storied narrative is that of a lifetime. They dive into the character customization process often spending hours fleshing out every last detail of their avatar's appearance. Even if the character isn't made ...
Gaming For A Good Cause: Geeks Without Sleep

Gaming For A Good Cause: Geeks Without Sleep

This post is going to be a touch different from my usual fare - if indeed I even have anything akin to 'usual' here on Bit Rebels. Rather than speaking about awesome artwork, detailing an epic case mod, or talking about the latest consumer product designed for those of the nerdy persuasion...I'm goi ...
Geek Chic: The Geekiest Furniture Ever Made

Geek Chic: The Geekiest Furniture Ever Made

I've always kind of wanted to live in Seattle. I've got a friend from the city, and she says that as geek culture's concerned, it's among the central cores of the United States. With that in mind, it's really no surprise to me that the business I'm profiling is based there. They're known as Geek Chi ...
The Gamer’s Dream Home

The Gamer’s Dream Home

I want this house. I want to live there, I want to game there. I want to be able to invite my friends over and tell them "I live here. Pretty epic, isn't it?" Let's back up a bit. LAN parties are pretty awesome, aren't they? You get to gain bragging rights through victory, show off your gaming ...
The Mark Of A True Fan: Megaman X Corrupted

The Mark Of A True Fan: Megaman X Corrupted

The Blue Bomber will always hold a special place in my heart. Megaman 3 was the first game I ever played, and Megaman X was the first I ever owned. Even now, I can't help but issue a quiet salute to the character as Capcom apparently shelves him for greener pastures. Every now and then, it's good ...

Play N64 Games On The Go With Electus

Who here remembers the Nintendo 64? Children of the 90s, let's hear you sound off! Developed at a time when video games were truly hitting their stride for the first time, it's regarded by quite a few folks as Nintendo's masterwork, and it is hailed and beloved even to this day. I still play mine ...
Find Your Photo’s Source With TinEye

Find Your Photo’s Source With TinEye

Admittedly, this isn't the sort of thing I'd usually blog about... but hey, it's information everybody can use - particularly bloggers. See, there's this little search engine known as TinEye. It's like...Google, but for images, sort of. There's a bit more to it than that. I'm not explaining this ...

Love Hulten’s R-Kaid-6 MAME Console

If you’re looking for the perfect combination of geeky and artsy, look no further than Love Hultén. Hultén, an artist and designer working out of Sweden, has been creating digital and physical art since somewhere around 2008, and he’s got some pretty awesome exhibits and concepts on his personal web ...
