The Dark Side Of Being A Geek
I've noticed there are two types of geeks. There are those people who have always been geeks, and then there are those people who are wanna-be-geeks who wouldn't wanna be a geek if it wasn't so popular right now. There is definitely a rise in "how to be a geek" tutorials popping up all over the In ...

This Family Unplugged For 6 Months & Lived To Tell About it
Hmm... unplugging for six months? Are you kidding me? I can't even imagine unplugging for one week. I'm so connected to my online world that I sleep with my phone.

Back to the Future: The New Gaming Series!
I've always been interested in time travel, I've written about it before on Bit Rebels. When I was a little kid, I turned my closet into a time machine. I would go inside, sit in a chair, close the door, and pretend that when I opened the door and came out, I would be in the future.
When I was ...

Celebrate the Release of StarCraft II – Lego Style!
I used to be a huge gamer. During the summers when I was at university, my friends and I would stay up all night long for weeks playing video games. It was truly an obsession. We would only put our remotes down long enough to make a box of Kraft mac-n-cheese after we realized we hadn't eaten for ...
This Alien Toy Was Banned Back In 1979 – Is It That Scary?
Today when video games are built up of gore and all kinds of weird stuff, I sometimes think back on some things that were released back in the days when I was young. I mean, not that a lot of things got banned back in the '80s, but there are a few that were blocked from entering the country. I can ...
Is This The True Origin Of Pong, Tetris And Arkanoid?
I don't think anyone out there who is moderately interested in video games doesn't know about Pong, Tetris, Arkanoid, Super Mario and Sonic. They are some of the cult games that we all have in common from our childhood. We played them to the point that they became a part of our everyday lives, and ...

Cool Star Wars Collectibles! Bring Back the Memories!
I grew up loving Star Wars. It was a time when animation was still being perfected, and you can really see the beauty of the movie. The special effects were spectacular considering the challenges that the filmmakers went through. I have watched "Return of the Jedi," which is one of the first thre ...

Space Invaders | In Real Life!
I remember playing Space Invaders at the local arcade and spending a lot of coins on that game. It was probably one of the last, still functional, arcades of the game when I was young that had remnants from the early beginning of video games. Who cared about the graphics and the sounds, it was the ...
Musicians Wanted Experience Not Necessary!
Here is another reason why I love my Mac. It had this very cool application/tool called the GarageBand that turns your Mac into a full-featured recording studio. Amazing way to create sounds and now you can even create your own ringtone. How cool is that? But what's New with Garage Band '09? Ga ...
