One Take Movies: Insane Live Special Effects
I am a huge movie junkie, and I watch at least 3-4 movies a day while I work. It's such a great way to keep your perspective on your work, and to me, it's one of those things that helps me get creative. Blockbuster movies of today all have pretty much one thing in common, and that is huge budgets. A ...
Geek History: How Star Trek’s Opening Monologue Was Created
About a week ago, Richard wrote an article about how the Star Wars intro text was created. I've always wondered how they did that with the technology that was available in the '70s, and it was a lot of fun to see the process. For all the trekkies, I thought I'd follow up today with the story about h ...
Cello Wars: A Star Wars Musical Saga Told With Cellos
Music is probably the most common language everyone on earth understands. It's somewhat in our blood, and we feel a plethora of emotions when we hear music depending on what the song expresses. Lyrics are of course not necessary to feel music, and that is why music is such a universal language. We h ...
The Reimagined Alternate Super Mario Player Select Screen
I don't think we have covered any topic as thoroughly as we have covered Super Mario.

If you think about it, who hasn't played Super Mario at least once in their life, right? ...
Polarity Song: A Knitting & Crocheting Fanatic’s Dream
I wrote about the Jelly Bean Music Video two days ago, and even though I totally got the candy munchies after it published, I still managed to keep myself from becoming a sugared up hyperactive geek. I thought it would take quite a long time before I would come across something that would be remotel ...

You have to do something quite out of the ordinary in order to make a lasting impression and to get the list ...
Video Games Then And Now: A Mind Twisting Comparison
What is retro to you? Is it the arcade halls of the '80s or just the 8-bit graphics that used to drive the games that you spent countless hours in front of just because you had to finish them?

Epic 8-Bit Versions Of Famous ’80s TV Shows [Video]
The memories that the '80s have left some of us with are everlasting it seems. For pretty much everyone, the 8-bit graphics are going to keep retrofying our ordinary days and making them a little bit better.

Super Mario Portal: The Real Gameplay [Video]
As some of you may remember, I wrote an article before about the hilarious video of Super Mario and Luigi playing around with a portal gun. Or rather, Mario did, which pissed the hell out of Luigi. What would happen if you actually got to play Super Mario with a portal gun? Is that even possible, an ...
