Issue 23 - Blades and Cookies
A strange issue to be sure. Listen as Aaron and Dan (filling in for the ailing Scott Dally) talk about Hollywood Squares of days past and the awesomeness that is Shadoe Stevens. Then, Aaron interviews Erica Black, Director of Photography for the documentary - Reclaiming the Blade; followed by a review from Commodore Clark. Finally, [...]

Cannibal Contagion – RPG Review
Game Design by: Nathanael Phillip Cole - Cover Art by: Kathren Moss – Interior Art by: Leonardo Freites and Veronica Gandini I know what you’re thinking. “Dude, Aaron, didn’t you just have a zombie-packed month back in May?

Interview with Midnight Syndicate
GitC – While I’m sure you get this question with every interview, I need to know. What was the inspiration for Midnight Syndicate? With the market already saturated with run-of-the-mill horror compilations, why did you decide to jump into that arena? Edward - For just that reason – because the Halloween music industry (if you could [...]

Magic: The Vroom-Vrooming
Is it a coincidence that I conceived this article about the auto industry and how it compares to Magic: The Gathering while riding my bike? Perhaps, but in the interest of full disclosure, I really dig cars. I dig driving cars. I dig owning cars. But, like many Americans I am both flat-ass broke and [...]

Out As #1
Posted on 02 July 2009
Well, it looks like the Willamette Week is again starting their “Best of Portland” survey. This is normally where I would less than humbly ask for your support. Alas, the WWeek no longer has Best Blog as a category. Clearly, so epic was the GeekintheCity.com win, they simply decided to retire that category. And so, GeekintheCity.com [...] Continue Reading

Real? Viral? Either Way…Eww!
Posted on 30 June 2009
Attention Dan Clark, I’m putting you on research detail. Is this nasty video of a Georgia sewer real or the beginning of a new viral marketing campaign? As one that used to work for a Civil Water Bureau, I have my doubts. While most do own remote cameras to check crap out (heh), not many [...] Continue Reading

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Spoiler Filled Geek Angst Review
Posted on 25 June 2009
Aaron here, you’ve read Bobby’s rather “rational” review, steel yourself for unbridled Geek rage at the hands of the one and only Dan Clark… Yar! - AD There is a moment during the last third of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen when John Turturro’s character looks directly at the camera and pleads for a concise and [...] Continue Reading

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Spoiler Free
Posted on 23 June 2009
I know that food metaphors are the province of lazy movie reviewers. Check the archives of every critic you’ve ever read, and start in their nascent period, before they achieved full-fledged professional asshole status – you’ll see at least 1 or 2 reviews built around the substitution of cinema for eating. It’s where clichés like [...] Continue Reading

Shocker Toys Indie Spotlight SCUD - Toy Review
Posted on 18 June 2009
It has certainly been a long time coming for the Indie Spotlight series from Shocker Toys. The line, in all of its various forms, has been in production since early 2006. While Shocker has endured production delays, stiff competition from other toy companies and a heavy dose of internet skepticism, the full series [...] Continue Reading

Whiteout Trailer… Finally!
Posted on 16 June 2009
I’ve been a huge fan of both Whiteout and Whiteout: Melt (and eagerly await the 3rd). When I learned of a film adaptation based on the Eisner Award winning book by Portland locals Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber, I went into fanboy overdrive. Up to and including pestering Steve for any tidbits whenever I ran [...] Continue Reading

Support the Neverending Battle!
Posted on 15 June 2009
As I watch events unfold in Iran in real-team, I again thank the higher powers that I live in this country. Then I wonder, would I march in the streets? Would I risk my very life for just a glimmer of freedom? Still, I can’t help but feel we take our own freedoms for granted. Freedoms [...] Continue Reading
