At this juncture, I’m fairly certain it goes without saying that CosPlay (the act of dressing up in costume any day of the year outside of Halloween), has become as much a part of geek culture as internet debates over Star Wars vs Star Trek and which celebrity heartthrob […]
Apparently it hasn’t been enough of a gut-wrenching experience to watch beloved characters get disemboweled on the popular fantasy series Game of Thrones, so HBO created an entire traveling exhibit as a firsthand interactive reminder of all the pain the show has caused during the past season. Simply titled, […]
If the gargantuan size of San Diego Comic-Con was measured in units of alcohol, it could singlehandedly submerge a large continent under several feet of adult beverages. The pop-culture convention has grown so large, many companies are set to take advantage of the overflow by offering up alternative conventions which […]
Fall: the time of year when the leaves changes, television shows come back to life and Geek Outlaw awakens from his c3 (short for comic convention coma). It’s also becoming a much-anticipated season for fellow Outlaws in large part to the annual dumping… err, giveaway of convention swag and […]

The man, the myth, the Autobot. Seeing how ‘better late than never’ is such an overused phrase for the punctually challenged like myself, I’m going to instead apply the term “better truant than before the zombie apocalypse” to this SDCC 2012-related post. This go-round I’m going to […]
Have Geeks and Nerds Become Extinct?
It’s an odd question, I agree. (Although you do realize who’s blog your reading, right?) Like most random nonsensical inquiries that invade my grey matter, it just kind of popped in there as I was celebrating my 36th revolution around the sun star only a few days ago. […]
