I have said it before, and I’ll say it again – I love the film Alien. It was scary and awesome at the same time and made Sigourney Weaver into one of the first female badasses on screen that I can remember.…

Izzy Swan knows the drill. He loves the drill. He must, because he likes to make machines that are driven by an ordinary battery-powered hand drill.…

We first heard of ePawn and Arena, its hybrid board game system, back in 2012. Since then Arena has undergone many changes, not least by transforming from a monitor into a portable roll up game board.…

Leave it to Funko to bring out Pop! Action figures of just about every cool movie that was ever made. In the last few days, we have seen Funko unveil its The Fifth Element action figures complete with a Multipass, and now we have Boondock Saints Pop!…

Star Trek fans who prefer the original series to its other incarnations, prepare to have a nerdgasm. You can soon get your hands on an original series Bluetooth communicator.…
