It’s a tough call. On one hand, the detail and craftsmanship of these wonderful creations should be preserved for as long as cake can stay without rotting. On the other hand, letting them get to that stage at all would be a bad thing as well. After all, it’s cake, right? The folks over at that’s nerdalicious have an eye for finding geeky cakes on a regular basis. Here are some from their archives that we found exceptionally geek-worthy. Let them eat cake!   Jawa Cake [caption id="attachment_37165" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Source: Neatorama[/caption]   Assassin’s Creed Cake…

It’s getting more difficult all the time to blow the minds of kids today. They’re more computer literate before hitting junior high than most of their parents. Toddlers can work an iPad before they can tie their shoe. The graphics on video games and movies are real enough to fool the eye (something we tested recently with Skyrim and Facebook). 3D was big for a few minutes in 2010, then faded into obscurity. The technology was the big thing at CES 2010 and was barely represented at all at this year’s CES. In 1953, St. John Pubications released something that blew the minds of kids and adults alike. 3D had…

The question has a pretty obvious answer. People would have been excited if Danny DeVito was the producer. Still, the funny folks at How It Should Have Ended put together a nice spoof commentary discussion between Superman and Batman, tied together by the presence of Dark Knight director and Man of Steel producer Christopher Nolan. As 2013 looms and excitement about a slew of summer blockbusters coming a half a year from now starts building up, it makes for fun to watch the epic trailer, then watch the HISHE treatment.

We published an interesting fan-made teaser trailer the other day for the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness movie. Shortly after posting it, the official teaser for the movie was released. Now, word is coming from Japan that the same teaser trailer had one additional scene added to it that was excluded from the North American teaser release. First, we’ll show you the teaser itself. If you’re interested in the scene that was excluded, scroll below the video for a description and image from the Japanese teaser.   ***SPOILER IMAGE AND DESCRIPTION BELOW***   ***STOP SCROLLING IF YOU DON’T…

Today is Guy Fawkes day. On this day in 1605, Fawkes was arrested for attempting to blow up King James I of England and members of both houses of Parliament. Made immortal in geekdom by the movie “V for Vendetta” and perpetuated thanks to the mask-wearing of Anonymous, the date will always be associated with this poem: Remember, remember, the 5th of November The Gunpowder Treason and plot; I see of no reason why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. * * * “Remember” image courtesy of Why I Didn’t Write….

It may be a stretch to say that this image taken by Reddit user Captain67 is a good depiction of Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars, but the position of the lights does fit nicely. First, the utterance of the famous line, then the “fixed” version of the picture from Reddit user physep. …

One may debate whether or not this is truly “steampunk” or if it’s just a modified motorcycle made to harken to a more leather and metal day of old. Since it doesn’t run on steam, technically it might be better classified as “dieselpunk” or something like that. One can argue that it’s not attractive, not functional, or not practical. What cannot be argued is that the effort put in by a friend of Reddit user PauseforBong ended in something that he or she could be proud of and flaunt across the internet….

As the only true survivor of the entire Skywalker saga, the noble robot R2D2 watched the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker and then helped his son bring about the ultimate downfall of the Empire. He has a hero in more ways than a Wookie can count which makes his current condition so much more sad. If this is how we treat our heroes when they age, what incentive does one have to be so selfless?…

It’s a shame that I didn’t see this until after Comicon was over. I might have attended had I known that this would be there. Every Batmobile displayed. Several of the actors, directors, and stunt directors who were part of the filming from the 60s television series through the end of the recent trilogy were a part of it. The documentary of geek documentaries played and I missed it. Where can I see it? Here’s the epic preview that got my blood boiling to the point that I’m using my blog login to ask the question. That’s how important this is. …

There are times when having tech-savvy friends is a benefit. They can help you with computer problems, often answer your geek movie questions, and are up-to-date on the latest gaming news. They also have a stronger inherent ability to do the simplest things to troll you. Here’s a perfect example. Symptoms: Your mouse isn’t working It’s plugged in Your friends are on Reddit If you meet these criteria, turn your “broken” mouse over and see what’s underneath….
