Sci-Fi and Fantasy Foods for the Holidays

Ever sat down to your holiday meal and thought to yourself, "This food could use a little more geeky awesomeness" ? Well, the epic people at Neatorama have collected a bunch of links to sites with recipes for delicious fantasy and sci-fi foods you can serve to your geeklings (or freeloaders) on special occasions, like breakfast and dinner. Every day. Who doesn't want to have Lembas bread to keep them full on their long trips there and back again? Perhaps you'd rather eat butterbeer with your Wookie-ookies?

Whatever your tastes are, they probably have something for you this holiday season. Check it out here.

What's wrong with my Nook: The Smell of Books Aerosols

While I long to own a Futurama-like library consisting of one giant electronic storage device, I've always felt Nooks and Kindles just rob you of the joy a smelly, crisp new book can bring you. Mmm, so many chemicals, so few brain cells to kill!

Well, thanks to Smell of Books, it is now possible to fulfill your wildest fantasies with your e-reader (well, maybe not ALL of them...unfortunately the robotic cocktail-mixing arm just hasn't been working out in trials). The aerosol cans offer a variety of books smells, including New Book, Classic Musty, Crunchy Bacon, Scent of Sensibility, and Eau You have Cats. Seriously, where is the "Buy" button?

The Future is Now! Well, Maybe Not...

This is the future according to movies and TV shows. It is kind of interesting to see where we will be in the future. It is sad to know I will most likely live not live to see Total Recall, Judge Dredd, The Jetsons, and Fifth element :*(

The Five Stages of Star Wars Revisionism Fan Grief

You know we've been bitching about the changes on the new Blu-ray version, and frankly, I think V+ and I will probably make a lot of fun of them when we are forced to watch them out of morbid curiosity. I think that would indicate we at I Like to Geek are only just at the bargaining stage. I can't promise we'll get past that for a long while though.

No words. Just a moment of silence...and the lingering thought...will he/she regret this tattoo 30 years from now when the show is but a distant memory?

Sci-fi in RL: Live Heart in a Box Makes for More Successful Transplants

Geeks are Sexy posted an article today about a new ground-breaking method of organ transplantation-- keeping the organ (such as a heart) functioning while in transport. Compared to the method of packing the organ in ice in coolers during transit, this will allow for better matching of organs to patients, and therefore less chance rejection.

TODAY: DC Relaunch

Well, if Lumberjack Films say it's going to be okay, then it must be! Then again, that's what people have been saying about Anne Hathaway playing Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises, but I still have my doubts. She may look smokin' hot in that one picture, but it's going to take more than a mouthful of drool to win me over. As for this video, they lost my faith when they said Aquaman was going to be cool. Seriously?

Mari0: Mario meets Portal

This is legit, people. Super Mario Bros. and Portal, mixed into one fantastically wonderful game. It's like the maple bacon of game mash-ups. Stabyourself game studios is working on Mari0, where you can co-op with as many friends as you want and portalize your way through the classic game.

WTF Lucas: If it ain't broke, why ruin it?!

So, I'm genuinely mortified by what I've been hearing about the new blu-ray Star Wars Trilogy that's coming out on September 6th. Now, Badass Digest has confirmed that Vader lets out an unbelievably unnecessary and climax-killing "Noooooooo!!" as he picks up the Emperor at the end of Return of the Jedi. Sorry if that was a spoiler for you...but if you've never seen the movie, you really don't deserve to be on planet earth.

Blast to the Future-Past: Coattails and Gigantic Scary Hats

Now that it's 2011, I thought it would be nice to look at the past decade's wonderful inventions and celebrations, such as our individual blimps and world-encompassing coasters that carry us quickly and safely to our destinations. Also, let's not forget those crazy flower festivals where we all get plastered and try to knock eachother off our car-planes with handfuls of petals while dressed as flashy deep-sea divers.
