Sandiego Comic-con is coming and so are the exclusives.


Everyone knows that when sdcc rolls around so do pictures of its exclusive toys.. This year there are too many good ones to count. One of the ones I am most excited for is the latest in the Masters of the Universe Classics line is Prince Adam of Eternia this is going to be a great one I just wish I had a pic to show you. The Prince will also have a sdcc buddy sorry to say it is not Cringer I am happy to say though it is Orco the court magician. Also from the award winning show Robot Chicken there will be a 2 pack of Skeletor (skeletor missing a tooth) and Molar. There also will be a MIghty Mugg of Iron man in honor of the movie I know what you are thinking they did that in 08 but this IronMan's mask opens to reveal Tony Stark. For right now I dont have any pics to show you but I promise that as soon as I get some I will post them..

Until next time geeks...

So many Super Hero Tees, so little sizes

Hello Fellow Geeks,

Now I don’t know about you but im a pretty big guy. I wear a 3XL and finding shirts my size is hard and costly if you do find it. I went to Think Geek today pretty cool site you should check it out when you get a chance http://www.thinkgeek.com/, anyway I saw a new tee shirt I wanted to get for the Iron Man Movie http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/popculture/db53/ nice Iron Man 2 Arc Reactor Shirt and I was about to place an order until……. yes max size is 2XL. So I started to do a search for the same shirt and notice there is not a lot of places or sites that carry super hero shirts 3XL plus sizes. I went to this site that said 3XL super hero tees so I started checking again and I notice 2 out of the 22 shirts have a 3XL size and 20 didn’t have any at all( Not out of stock they never even made a 3XL shirt at all). The 2 shirts of Ironman didn’t even have a good graphic on it. How are we supposed to support our geekness if the big wig companies won’t support us by providing more variety of sizes? I understand that it’s more cloth to cut and hence the bigger price but I’m willing to pay a few more dollars so I can rock out with my shirt out representing what I love from super heroes to acronyms. A couple of months ago when God of War 3 came out, I went looking for a 3XL tee on the Little Big Plane Version of Kratos in Red, but again same dilemma not my size but I did find it in black and in a 3XL from this website called Hottopic (http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Homepage.jsp) nice place and they had it. As of now from what I see they ran out pretty fast because the 3XL size is no longer available. Well here is my two cents and whoever is out there feeling the same pain as I do I just want to let you know I with you (A tear falling from my cheek) LOL, until next time geeks.

Iron Man 2 Coming up and Stark Industries Promoting Expo 2010

Hello fellow geeks, it’s a typical Tuesday Morning when I came to a nifty website this morning. As you all now Iron Man 2 will be hitting the theaters, and I will definitely be there with my arc reactor and 7-11 cup ready to boot. Lol and I did buy the helmet produced by Hasbro was going to color it as Warmachine, unfortunately with work and home life I won’t be able to finish on time. Now back to this morning so I was placing my orders for movie tickets when I came across a link called http://www.starkexpo2010.com/. Looks like Marvel and other sponsors came up with a viral marketing gimmick to attack the Ironman fanatics. The website states that the Stark Expo will launch May 7th at Flushing Meadows NY. Now I don’t know about you if you make a website like this and actually put a location that is real then there is bound to be something going on right? I believe it is time for Everything Geek from a Geek to open up their horizons and start exploring this expo. We will let you know if anything came out of this. Hopefully something going on and hopefully swag in our pockets. More to come and back to the work grind.

E emphasizes you are not read-E and NOS meaning Ninth of September which was the street date of launch….wow im old lol. If you want to know my status My Xbox Live name is SumoXL and it’s the same for PSN. Well this is it for now im at work and still trying to get my feet wet doing this blog.

Splinter Cell Conviction Review..

Splinter Cell has always been a great stealth series on consoles. The latest installment is even better. It is like playing Batman Arkham Asylum the controls may take some getting used to for some but others will feel like they are home.. The single player portion of the game is fun but not long the story is great and it has its really high points but again the only problem with it is that it is short. What will keep you enjoying this game like most out on the next gen consoles is the multiplayer & the co-op sequences. First the multiplayer has many engaging modes that will have you enjoying it for hours on end. The co-op in my opinion is even better it has its own story line and in both modes you can purchase weapon upgrades and different kinds of armors. All in all it is a great game and it will make a great addition to anyone's collection.

Until next time geeks...

Avatar Blu-ray/ DVD combo Review...

What can be said about Avatar that other reviewers haven't said already. Nothing really but there can be a lot said about this Blu-ray/Dvd combo pack. First of all if you are looking forward to learning all about how things were filmed and how the effects came together dont get your hopes up. In a new way to take your money Fox is releasing this movie with out special features. They say it is so they can put the best quality version of Avatar on the disc but come on Cameron it is clearly so you can release other versions of the film to get more money.. Dont get me wrong it is worth the money to watch the daily lives of the people of Pandora but I want my special features.. If you are like me and want all the goodies you will have to wait till November for them to release a more definitive version of the movie and for those of you who have a 3d television I cant help you I dont know when a 3d version of the bluray/dvd will be released.. Until then though play the game that is in 3d..

Until next time geeks...

One Big thing I forgot to mention

GEARS OF WAR 3 was announced it came sometime this week.. The amazing thing though was that it was not announced by EPIC games instead Microsoft took it on their part to put the info on Xbox Live soon start the countdown folks for an epic conclusion to in my opinion the only game that is as epic as God of War..

A small review of the week...

On Sunday Olivia Munn was signing in NYC to be exact she was signing at Forbidden Planet. I got to meet her and she signed a photo for my friends and I. It was great she was reping her new book Suck it Wonder Woman which will be out in June. From today it is now 21 days till the release of Iron Man 2. Until then though Kick Ass is released today and The Losers will be out next Friday..
Stay tuned for more Updates and a Review of Avatar the combo Bluray and DVD...

Until then Geeks Stay cool....
