Santa, Maybe

Morgan Pielli | November 16, 2011

By Unkiedev No matter how hard the lefties, the pagans, the communists, the gays, and every other group I belong to tries to stop it, Christmas is still happening. Glycon knows I’ve done my part! I personally punched out three mall Santas this week. I think they were mall Santas. They had beards and were [...]

I admit I’m a big weird geek who likes strange things, though from their perspective I’m still playing with toys and [...]

Best of DC Directs Blackest Night figures part 1

Chris | November 22, 2010

by Christopher Troy Before addressing the topic of this article, I just want to point out the current FPNYC-fueled addiction in my life: The Persona 3&4 keychains by Megahouse. The cult-fave PS2/PSP J-rpgs released by Atlus have seen little to no merchandise (outside of a few artbooks, statues or a Figma or 2), and this [...]

Holiday Madness

shervin | January 22, 2010

I was watching the Flintstones the other day and noticed that Fred reads a newspaper that is two solid slabs of rocks with carvings etched into them. These rocks are held together via a crude rope.
