Snake Demotivational It’s 2:00am. The streets of Seattle are pitch black and lonely, save for the occasional, near-burned-out street lamp casting pools of dim, yellowed light on the asphalt, and a 24-hour Starbucks on every corner and squeezed into the spare square footage of every bank, gas station, and grocery store. A lone man stalks the sidewalk, his black leather pants and matching wife-beater blending with the dark, and his long, feathered hair rustling gently in the breeze. His one eye squints dubiously at the Starbucks. The other is hidden behind a black eyepatch. The man marches straight through the Starbucks parking lot and jerks the door open. Inside, a long customer line trails from the register back to the door and doesn’t seem to be moving. The man charges forward, shoving college students and hipsters aside. Their screams and protests fill the air as they are tossed either to the ground or into large displays of organically grown, free-trade coffee beans. He charges toward the front, his mission urgent: Snake Plissken needs a latte.

Snake PlisskenBlogging often requires research. Even my Sci-Fi Pinups require some, as I need to find a great photo and ensure my facts (for turn-ons and turn-offs) are correct. Web research can take just as much time as the writing but I don't mind -- especially if it's for the pin-ups post. The pin-ups post makes people laugh and brings a sense of pride or nostalgia about a particular character in the science fiction universe. Mostly, I blog for you. I know what you're thinking: Biggest. Philanthropist. Evar. So you can imagine my feelings of anger and betrayal when, on Sunday night, I was doing a little last minute research for the April Pin-Ups and clicked on a Snake Plissken fan site. And then the Snake Plissken fan site gave my computer a virus.

PinCushion Step aside hotties and heartthrobs, it's time to announce the Sci-Fi Pinups of April 2012! This is the time of month when we cast our gaze upon deserving hotties from the Sci-Fi universe -- these ladies and gents aren't what you'll find in your favorite Hollywood gossip magazine, and they certainly won't be found in a swimsuit photo shoot. Science Fiction studs and studettes are of a completely different caliber, and are weighed by more than their looks and "assets": It's about the size of their guns. Duh.

Grimrock PrologueIt isn't often that I get really excited about a game, but I honestly couldn't wait to share Legend of Grimrock with you all. This game has it all: puzzles, maps, mystery, stress, and combat. Essentially, it's an upscale, adventure-style Myst that could kill you. It's awesome. The premise of the game starts out simply: you and the three strangers you're chained to are convicted criminals. The guards take you to the top of Grimrock Mountain and toss you in a pit. At the bottom, you and your group must survive a labyrinth filled with puzzles, darkness, and danger.
