(Possible Spoilers Ahead) Allow me to say something at the beginning of this review, in case people think I’m trying to be overly negative. Grace Unplugged is probably one of the best “Christian” films I’ve seen. The acting is great, the script is decent, and the movie well made. You can take your evangelical family and you will get a safe, non-offensive movie going experience. And that’s the problem. Grace Unplugged follows the story of eighteen-year-old Grace Trey (AJ Michalka)... Read more
From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, who has finally caught his breath after three days… I’m sitting in my living room, watching the second episode of the new series Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and marveling (no pun intended) at its level of escapism. It’s a 180-degree difference from what I experienced every time I watched Breaking Bad. Today, I finally put my fingers to the keys to give you my honest, heavily-thought out review of the final episode... Read more
“Your teacher says you’re having a lot of trouble with your reading comprehension.” I was eight or nine when my dad said that to me after one of those fun little parent-teacher conferences. You know, the kind where your strengths tend to get glossed over and every one of your flaws are picked at and laid bare like an egg frying on a rock under the blazing Sahara sun. At least, that’s how those conferences seemed to go whenever they... Read more
“Whatever you fear, it’s here!” That is NOT just a catchy slogan. After personally participating in this event for three years, I can assure you that you will face everything you’ve ever been afraid of. It’s all waiting for you amidst the secluded trees and over 5,500 feet of winding path that encompasses Hallowicked Haunted Woods, located at 1148 Cairns Road, in scenic Mansfield, Ohio. Let me say it again, 5,500 feet. For those geeks who have been paying attention,... Read more
Read Narrative of a Newb Part 1 And I thought I was doing okay, tuning the three of them out, and opting to listen to the game instead. I heard an announcement “UAV INBOUND”, so I did what I assumed was the correct maneuver, pointed my weapon skyward, looking for some flying vehicle that must pose a threat to me, since the game warned me of its approach. Meanwhile, two bodies fell off the living room sofa howling in fits... Read more
From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, who can’t seem to shake the change in seasons affecting his sinuses… Some weeks ago, I introduced the Geek Goes Rogue agents to a band from Australia called Tripod. This trio of very talented musician/comedians have been huge down under for more than a decade, but their presence on this side of the globe has been fairly minimal. Thanks to advances in technology and this wonderful thing we call the interwebs,... Read more
I’ve always considered myself a tech savvy lady. Not to toot my own horn, but I know my way around HTML and CSS, I can customize my iPhone settings with the greatest of ease, I still remember how to program a VCR (that is, if you’re still in possession of one and need assistance), and my first computer’s operating system was DOS, which I still know how to use. Yet somewhere amongst those lofty, geek-worthy credentials, I missed a step.... Read more
Okay, so we are little late on this one, but it can’t be helped. The Founder in Geek, me, is a bit busy with movies and books. So, here are my reactions to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as I watched… (MASSIVE SPOILERS) 1-5 Great opening intro with an ordinary single being a hero by saving a woman from a burning building. Turns out, he may have super powers. Awesome. Then, cut to D-Bag Hot Agent who is on some mission, shows... Read more
Okay, so, Geek Goes Rogue has turned into a boys club lately. Not intentionally, but hey, that’s the way things go sometimes. So to fix that, we’ve searched high and low for a woman geek/gamer type. Look no further, friends, we’ve found one. We give you Ms. Melody Evans. Welcome her, all! Melody Evans is the Chief Marketing Officer of K-9! Video Gaming and a freelance book review blogger for Up All Night Novels. When she’s not hopelessly attempting to... Read more
From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, who is finally feeling like all those years investing in Breaking Bad has paid off… So, I caught the Emmy awards Sunday night, and there wasn’t much to go on about. Jimmy Fallon’s presentation was one of the simplest, yet most well-performed gags of the night, only to be capped off by Will Ferrell, who came out on stage with his three kids, dressed in vacation duds, and turned his presentation...
