I’m normally okay with the creativity and dedication it takes to participate in cosplay, but this instance just pisses me off. I’ll give these fighting Tetris cosplayers some props for originality, but there are some big problems. First, it is at an anime convention. Second, the T-block has four blocks, not five. The T-shape is […]

Barcadia will be what its name suggests: a mishmash of a watering hole and a 12-game arcade situated in a 3,000-square-foot building at 1917 N. Henderson Ave. … Remember Galaxia? Ms. Pac Man? Frogger? Would-be players won’t be forced to feed six coins into games to play. Barcadia’s owners, Humphries and Billy Blatty, are […]

You guys know we don’t normally post cheesecake just for the sake of it, but someone sent me this photo earlier (without a source, unfortunately, so let me know if you have a link) and, I mean, come on. Bow-hunting amazons will always get a free pass.

Drunken Dancing Pratfall

I’ve got a stupid-busy day today (and likely tomorrow), but in the meantime, enjoy this as I did: while letting any regrets I had about not spending more time in clubs evaporate into the ether like Vap-O-Rub into a raver’s sinsues.

Lions!

One of the stated purposes of this site is to bring you pictures of lions, yet day in and day out, I’ve erred towards cuter, more cuddly options, like chimps and bulldogs. Let this small token serve as an apology, while splitting the difference between cute and wretchedly gory. They’re so cute when they crawl […]
