Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone. But swear once at the skee-ball table of a Chuck E. Cheese, and you're apt to be center of attention in a world of silent dread. As anyone familiar with my work outside the realm of GeekDad can certainly attest, I have a fairly creative vocabulary. "Creative," in this instance, is simply a synonym for filthy. Meaning that I tend to curse. Regularly. ...

The internet exists for two reasons. The first is totally inappropriate for discussing here at GeekDad. The other is Rickrolling. Sadly, while the net’s sinister, unmentionable purpose is ripe with ingenuity and experimentation, the once noble Rickroll has become as stale as… well, Rick Astley himself. Thanks to the recently released KORG DS-10, however, you can now annoy your friends with the unforgettable strains of “Never Gonna Give You Up” in a new and exciting ...

The graphics in forthcoming Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Store release Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix aren’t the only things getting a face lift. Just as the title will offer a modern visual overhaul, a rebalanced arcade mode, and robust stat tracking, so too will it boast a new soundtrack from a most unlikely source: game music community OverClocked ReMix. After hearing the community’s Blood on the Asphalt compilation, itself a tribute to ...

I let my 3-year-old watch television. That being said, I can already feel the disdain of a subset of our readers filtering through the internet ether to settle on me like a delicate and shameful shawl. But alas, it’s true. My preschooler watches TV. Like so many of us in my age bracket, I was all but raised by the tube, and thus I see my son's indulgence less as participating in idle entertainment and ...

From the intersection of “unbelievable” and “Easter Egg” comes news that Google Reader contains what is, perhaps, the ultimate inside joke for geeks and gamers. As revealed by Blogoscope, if you enter the primordial Konami Code (sans “Start”) via your keyboard - Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A – your unread items will be reset to 30 and this lovable ninja will creep into your Subscriptions sidebar.

From pretend play to house-rules stick ball to hastily conceived tabletop RPGs, making up your own games has been a childhood staple for as long as there have been kids with ample free time and unbridled creativity. 14-year-old Anshul Samar has taken this to its logical conclusion by creating, and now actively seeking backing to help mass produce, his own science-based fantasy card combat game Elementeo. The game is based on a 121-card deck of ...
