Happy New Years from [insertgeekhere]!

Can you believe that 2010 is over?! We have been so lucky this year with the starting of [insertgeekhere] and we all want to say thank you for supporting us! Without readers like you, we would just be mindlessly babbling on a street corner. Again.

Here is a little recap of our favorite posts from 2010:

Pull The Trigger

Looking back to all those months ago with our first post where we just say hi to everyone.

Wilderowens Favorite Post of 2010:

Private Practice: Did you hear what happened to Charlotte King?

I love this post because its is not traditional geek. It was truly a great hour of television that covered a terrible event, and it deserved to be recognized.

Wysefyre's Favorite Post(s) of 2010:


I couldn't pick just one favorite. I have two.

Musical Friday - VideoSongs, An Educational Tour Through Music History
Not only did it make me laugh, but I loved being able to see the various instruments and voices that go into the songs.

My Epic Con Fails
Who hasn't had a wacky disaster or two happen at a con? I love this post because, not only are the situations funny, but I can also see them in a movie as a montage of the various mishaps which lead to the one con that proves to be the most perfect in every way one. Plus, regardless of what happened, Wilderowens got to talk to Wil Wheaton, and that by itself makes her and this awesome.

This Month Let's Work on Respect

I'm a patient guy by nature, and it always annoys me when I see the uber-fan acting like a jerk and giving all us normal fans a bad name.   I know we'll never get to the nerd-utopia that we all wish for, but it'd be nice if everyone would take a look at themselves and assess their own actions for once.  Here's hoping for a friendlier fan in 2011.

From all of us at [insertgeekhere] we want to wish everyone a Happy & Safe New Year!  We'll look forward to more geeky excitement in 2011!

Iron Man 2 - Alternate Opening

*Sorry it is gone, but if you find it elsewhere, let us know.


Watch It Before It's Too Late!!!

Recently, a bootlegged clip of an alternate opening for Iron Man 2 came out. I love the clip. It opens with Tony puking on a toilet. It's funny and it's character appropriate. It hasn't really been addressed in the movies but for those familiar with the comics know that Tony is an alcoholic. So why didn't this clip make the movie? 

Little kids worship Iron Man. Having the hero puking and hung over doesn't really portray him in the best light, which could possibly lead to less kiddie worshipping, which means less revenue for Marvel. Not only that, on the flip side, it could lead to kids asking questions parents aren't quite ready to answer. It's a lot easier to to have a discussion about the dangers of explosions or Whiplash than trying to explain why someone feels the need to drown themselves in booze, especially someone who is as awesome as Tony. It might humanize him, which is great, but when they're young, who wants to possibly tear down a kid's hero? 

I would love to see this clip make it to the special features of one of the inevitable Iron Man collector's editions or super packs but I doubt it so enjoy this while you can.

*side note - How awesome is Pepper Potts? I love her in this scene.
