An Important Announcement

tig_proof_2-041.jpg

Because it is Wednesday, I know many of you are look for our weekly “Winning Science” post and unfortunately, you won’t be finding it today. As a result of our recent annual meeting, Tracy and I are announcing some minor formatting changes to Therefore I Geek. Most noticeable among these is that starting this week we will begin alternating Winning Science and Around the Web on Fridays. Although this does mean that we won’t have any new posts on Wednesdays, this extra freedom allows us to post Saturday Reviews as a full time column. Starting this Saturday we will be reviewing various comics and graphic novels every Saturday, with the main focus being on the books released that week and upcoming releases. Being a huge comic fan, I have wanted to increase the number of comic book reviews on the blog for a while now, but given my day job and Tracy’s school, the extra day of writing and editing made this difficult to achieve. I can’t begin tell you how excited I am about this change.

The other major change to come out of our meeting is the decision to change the name of our podcast from Random Thought Generator to the Therefore I Geek Podcast. While we have always loved the name Random Thought Generator, we have come to realize that it makes more sense for us to focus on a single identity for all our endeavors. Despite changing names, there will be no change in formatting or content on the podcast. If anything, we are more excited about the future of the podcast. We’ve got some great plans for the future that I know you’ll all love. Over the course of the next week, please bear  with us while we make a few adjustments to the site and on iTunes in order to reflect these changes.

Now that the “serious” stuff is out of the way, I just wanted to let you all know that we’ve got some really exciting stuff coming your way in the next few months. We truly appreciate all the support our fans given us so far and we look forward to your company for all the great things to come.

Review: The Satanic Rites of Dracula (Elvira’s Movie Macabre)

The-satanic-rites-of-Dracula-poster

Although B movie creators are not strangers to the sensational movie title, The Satanic Rites of Dracula is among the most eyebrow raising titles in the genre. Sadly, the title is probably the most interesting part of this movie. That being said, this film is well worth a watch, which is just what I gave it. Continue reading

Editorial | Nexus Gaming Alliance: Behind the Convention Game Room

Heading to a convention, I glance at the program and there it is one of the last pages:  this convention has a gaming room off to the side of the main exhibit halls and panel rooms.  Recently I got a chance to talk to the masterminds behind some of those game rooms when Ken Beasley and Ben Hernandez sat down to tell me all about the workings of setting up a game room, and everything that goes on before and behind the scenes of a convention.
