Exuding Geekiness since 1984

As of late (2016 & this year) it seems a lot of our beloved actors/actresses have been departing us too soon, and to say the least, Carrie Fisher (and her Mom) was definitely one of the loss that was truly felt around the globe. Whether you know her as 'Princess Leia' or from her books, Carrie touched many. She was witty, voracious, intelligent, witty, etc. amazon.com Her last book " The Princess Diarist " is all of that and more. I'm sure so many of us, while she was promoting it, had heard of it due to the fact that she reveals that she had that affair with the one and only Han Solo (Harrison Ford). Obviously, the media picked this up due to the fact that this secret had been kept for such a long time, but this book reveals so much more, a different side to Carrie. If you haven't picked up a copy, do yourself a favor and purchase it, because it is beyond hilarious, and so Carrie. At first, the idea of having a book with pages of a journ...

Last Saturday was pretty eventful, not only was it Free Comic Book Day, but ' Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2 ' (please don't kill me!!) hit theaters nationwide. And I must confess that I have not YET, seen GOTG, I did attend Free Comic Book Day.  Normally, for those of you who have attended this event, it is a perfect way to not just go and participate in special events (at participating shops, not all shops do this) but also support our local comic shops by giving them a boost. So it is a win-win situation. Photo taken by: Maria Rivas Last year, we were still in CA, so we went to our favorite local shop, but this year was different since we find ourselves in the East Coast side and to be honest, specially were we are, we haven't really found a local comic shop to call "home." Don't get me wrong, the shops we have visited have been great, but as many of you know, not all shops are the same. Either they have an incredible selection, but the a...

This past weekend I (with the family) went to see the Power Rangers Movie and to be quite honest, I absolutely freakin' loved it!! Yes, I am serious and no, I have not lost my mind, lol. The Screen Rant I seriously enjoyed it, and I'm not just saying it because of the fact, like many of you, I grew up watching the original Power Rangers when I was a 'wee' one. I loved the fact that the movie incorporated many of the original elements of the beloved show, but also they re-vamped it to fit in with 2017.  So, here are some of the reasons why I seriously loved this reboot/re-vamping...?! Whatever you wanna call it! O.G.'s with a Twist: When it comes to reboots of beloved or well known shows, many reboots fall into the mistake of wanting to depart soooo much from the original material (it's almost like they are ashamed of the original content) that you are left wondering, what did you just see and why does this new rebooted franchise have the...

Hello kidies!! Sorry I have been on a hiatus for a while, life just seems to come at you full force and its hard to stop. Either way, here I AM back at this ol' writing thing again. (I'm kidding, about the old) It feels good to be back and yes, as much as I missed blogging about everything, being away gave me a different perspective of what I want my content to be about. A lot of times, bloggers tend to fall on "newsworthy" or the up and coming article, news, but at times, you kinda loose the sense of what you really are passionate about. What really interests you. So, yes, it was good for me to step back and re-evaluate many things. Ok, during this time I had the chance to try out new games for you guys (if you already haven't) so, yes, this will be a board game review about some of the games I got to play during my absence. Lets begin! Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle Deck Builder Co-Op deck builder game 2-4 players ages 11+ $45+ Designed and D...

OMG, OMG, OMG!! :::: outer squealing :::: EVERYPONY, I have news for you!!! If you haven't yet seen it, the first official trailer for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has JUST BEEN RELEASED, and as ALL of us can expect, it is filled with MAGICAL GOODNESS and glitter, yes, let's not forget the glittery-goodness! I'm absolutely super psyched by the trailer because not only does it show Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie (my favorite pony) and Princess Twilight Sparkle is flying by, they also announce the all-star cast, and a new song from none other than SIA!! I just can't wait and it might be that I'm not just hyped up by the trailer, but also by lots and lots of sugar, lol.  Anyways, I leave you the trailer so you can commiserate in the excitement! I'll be seeing everypony in theaters in October!!! Til' next time! DISCLAIMER** All trademark, copyrighted material, logos, names, brands, partners and affiliates are properties of...

Alright boys and girls it is time to get a bit serious about a topic that NEEDS to be addressed. It is hard enough now a days NOT to be a part of the social media machine.  Whether it is to keep in contact with old friends, acquaintances or for business, everyone and their moms' (and probably nanas too, lol) are on some type of social media platform.  Which in its positive outcomes, it connects people in many ways. it is a vessel of information and an excellent networking tool. Our community has embraced and has become a staple for us to connect with other  fellow Geeks that share our same interests. We follow favorite accounts that deal with tabletop, console gaming, Cosplay, cons and even with the celebrities that we have come to love and admire. It is a buffet of pictures, podcasts & media (in general) at our fingertips. But unfortunately, social media has gotten a dark, shady aspect too. I have noticed (and been a victim of it myself) t...

Hello kiddies!! Today is an incredible day because IGN this morning released a full trailer for the DC/Warner Animation full length film for "Teen TItans: The Judas Contract." If you have not seen it, SEE IT NOW, I'll wait...😏 https://youtu.be/TmpUh7U7Sqk (Source: IGN/Youtube Official Channel ) Ok, so are you as psyched as I am?! (please say yes, or otherwise I will look like a dork, lol). Comic Vine-GameSpot The trailer looks amaze-balls and it is awesome to see that DC has been picking up more on less talked about superheroes. Yes, it isn't the big theatrical blockbuster that we've been hoping for, but this serious looks worth it. Yes, we all know that the Holy Trinity is focused a lot more by DC and the studios because, let's be honest, it brings in the bigger $$$ but I am glad to see that DC is starting to rely more on other superheroes. The film is slated to come out this year, an actual release date hasn't been officially confirmed,...
