January 21st, 2020The '90s and '00s was truly the golden age of cartoons. From Rocko's Modern Life to Cow and Chicken, these kids' television shows were FULL of subtle, but very intentional adult humor. Here are some of our favorites.

December 10th, 2019We're like... a third through December already. That's bonkers. Well while we're heading down this slippery slope we call the Holidays, we might as well enjoy it, right? Just kidding, I'm not a Grinch, AND I do love me some good ol' feel-good holiday specials-- ESPECIALLY the geeky ones! Here are some of my favorites:

April 5th, 2019There isn't much that we love of a retro-arcade nature more than Pac-Man, he of the "waka-waka!" (Not to be confused with Fozzie Bear's "wocka-wocka!" – it's a subtle difference.)

June 27th, 2018The 80's were a weird and wonderful bit of our timeline when it came to gaming and the intense culture spike we saw from it...

January 24th, 2018Sonic! Sonic! He's the fastest thing alive!
Saturday morning cartoons were a ritual of childhood in the 80s and early 90s. Your weekend didn't truly start until you chowed down on a giant bowl of cereal with your butt parked as close to the TV as your mom would allow. 1993 gave us two Sonic cartoons: The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog...
