The Evolution Of Video Game Controllers: Version 2.0 [Infographic]
Yes, I am a huge game junkie, and every free second I get (which isn't often) I try to play something new and exciting. I've been through World of Warcraft, Eve Online, Minecraft and pretty much every other popular game you can think of. It's a way to relax my brain and think about something else in ...

The Future According To Science Fiction Films [Infographic]
Forget all the hype about preparing for zombies; apparently we need to be more concerned about our future based on science fiction movies (and a few television shows) from the past that are based in the future. This is very interesting because Michael Hobson from Tremulant Design pieced together a t ...

The First 45 Years Of Star Trek [Infographic]
I feel almost childishly uneducated when it comes to Star Trek, and the culture that surrounds this quite amazing series of movies and TV shows. There is no doubt Star Trek has had a huge impact on society, and I think the cast members should feel proud that they have been a part of a world-changing ...
Dog Cosplay: 12 Ridiculously Amazing Pet Costumes
The world is becoming ever more weird! Even though I don't personally have any pets these days, I have been the proud owner of a cat, a bird and some goldfish at different points in my life. I remember the shelves at the store with various items for our pets to play with. There were all kinds of thi ...
Famous Fashion Designer Styles Turned Into 8-Bit Pixel Art
I can't decide if this is considered 8-bit fashion or pixel art, so maybe I'll just say it's a combination of style and art. If you are familiar with fashion design, you know that each one of the famous designers has a style all his or her own. Whether it's oversized, skin tight, sexy or demure, onc ...
My Jedi Quiet Book: A Star Wars Embroidered Storybook
I sometimes wish I was a little bit more... hands-on when it comes to creativity. I don't "create" many things other than what's on a computer, and even though that is pretty much the largest sandbox you could ever have, it still doesn't give you that feeling that you really created something real! ...
Old Timey Star Wars: The Renaissance Take On The Series
This morning I booted up the Star Wars series (the original one) and started watching episode 2, The Empire Strikes Back. I usually play a movie in the morning since it gives me the inspiration to start-up work right away. I don't really know why, and honestly I am sure it doesn't matter, everyone n ...
Live Long & Prosper With Star Trek Sugar Cookies
As all true Trekkies know, yesterday marked the 45th anniversary of Star Trek. It's hard to believe that the first episode of Star Trek aired on television 45 years ago because Star Trek is still crushin it today. What a lot of people don't know is that the show was cancelled a few years later, only ...
10 Sarcastically Funny TV & Movie Screencaps
Back in the old days, when I had to run home from the bus stop after school to make it in time to watch Tom and Jerry at exactly 4:00, there was no chance of ever capturing a screenshot from a television show (or a movie for that matter). Back then, we had a little paperback book called a TV Guide, ...
Super Mario Fans: Geeky Wii Video Game Charm Bracelet
I don't know what's going on lately, but it seems like geeky jewelry is becoming more and more popular. Each week we feature items from Etsy and other similar sites, and the designs are getting better and more creative each time. This bracelet is one of my favorite ones I've seen so far.
This is ...

Geeky Memories: Video Game Arcades In The ’80s [10 Pics]
We often talk about retro '80s video games on Bit Rebels. All of us here grew up during that time, and we'll never forget all those lazy Saturday afternoons when our only care in the world was where our next quarter was coming from so we could play again. Those were the days of tube socks, short sho ...
Lego Tron Bike: Enter The Age Of The Light Cycle
I often write about Lego here on Bit Rebels, and it never gets old, at least not to me. Usually it has to do with some grand and epic build which has taken someone many years and millions of Lego blocks to complete. You all know the story, it's become a yada yada returning topic really. Once before, ...
A Fabulous Fan Created Klingon LED Coffee Table
Star Trek fans love everything Klingon in a very special way. They are loyal and dedicated, and it's always fun to write about their designs. We've written about how to speak Klingon, and how to type with a Klingon keyboard, but never before have I seen a fan so dedicated that he even put Klingon-li ...
Trekkies: The Killingest Star Trek Dress (Transporter Not Included)
I'm sure all my fellow girl Trekkies will agree that the Star Trek dresses in all the movies and television shows would be so much fun to wear in real life. I'm not talking about Star Trek cosplay, which by the way is very cool in its own way. I'm talking about the fabulously geeky dresses that Nurs ...
