First sculpt video of the year! The goal is to have at least one each month :) I made this as a Christmas gift for a friend's daughter. I hope you enjoy it!

An Open Letter to Internet Explorer
Dear Internet Explorer,
It would be extremely easy for me to start this off with, “Please go **** yourself,” but I’m classier than that. So, allow me to restart.
Dear Internet Explorer,
You make my work life miserable. Had I known that taking a real job meant using you five days of the week, eight hours a day, I might have considered unemployment, or another retail living nightmare.
May I just say how astounded I am at your lock-up frequency?...

Ten Types of People at the Trans Siberian Orchestra
My family and I attended this magnificent display of talent back in November, and I made a few observations amid the sights and sounds of Christmas rock music.
1. The Crier
Easy to spot in your row, they tend to be slightly hunched, legs crossed, with one hand over or near their mouth. They're not loud, but you can see the crinkled eyes, the welling tears, and if you watch very closely, you can see the rasping breath creep through their...

2014 Goals
I've never been much for resolutions, simply because I can't keep them. I remember resolving to do homework before playing games, or getting straight As, or... well, that was pretty much it. My New Year's promise was always about school and I always quit my gung-ho nature after a few weeks. Now the new year generally starts with a, "It would be nice if..." and then I proceed to list off things that would be "nice." After a month or two passes,...

Final Fantasy 8 Diary - Entry 4
Dear Diary,
I just learned that we get zero exam points for that mega beard dragon we fought. This is bullshit! But holy shit, I got a new GF! Someone called Siren. I assumed she was some magic that would put people to sleep. But that's not what she does at all, so that's a pleasant surprise! Want to hear a not so pleasant surprise? Selphie dropping the bomb that we had to be back at the ship in 30 minutes. 30! So Seifer ran...

EXP Share - Good or Bad?
I have what I consider to be a real on again off again relationship with Pokemon. I played Red when I was in 8th grade, and since then I’ve picked up at least one version of every generation. I usually play to the third gym, and then immediately get annoyed at the level grinding required to win the next gym. EXP share was a magnificent gift, and certainly made the process easier. However, I only ever beat the Elite Four in Red. Every other game has...

Discovered Artist Showcase - supercoolspyclub
In order to inspire my own interests (while simultaneously fighting back the urge to rage-quit a tangible hobby because of jealously and fears of inadequacy) I am constantly on the look out for new paper artists to follow! I love to find people who have the same or a similar style to what I’m attempting to achieve. I’ve found that this is kind of hard to do, though. I don’t know if my search terms are off or what, but it’s just hard to find paper...

Video Game Character Spotlight: Zero
When designing a protagonist for a video game series, it's a good idea to make them the most interesting character of the series. But every so often, there comes a support character who outshines even the protagonist. A character who's just as cool and interesting as the supposed “hero” of the story. Throw in a lightsaber and a bitchin' ponytail and now you've got the most interesting support character of all time. Of course I'm referring to none...

Sherlock S03 is a Different Beast
This post contains SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
***
Like many others I have been anxiously awaiting the return of Sherlock. It has been a long two years for fans, to be sure! Tumblr's cup has runneth over with theories, speculation, and near deranged frenzy to find out what really happened to everyone's favorite sociopath, as well as how Watson had been coping.
January 1st dawned bright, smelling of new, promise, and the premiere...

Diablo: The Series (Part Two)
Since I didn't pay much attention to the PC realm of gaming until I got a bit older, Diablo II was a complete mystery to me until quite some time after its release. I saw a friend playing it at the first LAN party I ever attended and was once again in awe of Blizzard's work.

Shtay awhile and lishun! Source
The story picked up right where Diablo left off (SPOILER ALERT) where your hero from the game essentially took Diablo into himself...

Final Fantasy 8 Diary - Entry 3
Dear Diary,
Today is the day of my big SeeD exam. I headed to my dorm to get changed, and then ran up and down the stairs at the entrance to the academy to work out some nerves. I tried to play cards with a girl near the directory, but she was out of my league and took my Ifrit card. I begged her to give it back since I’m so inexperienced (and she did, which was nice of her!). Afterwards I found that punk kid running around again. We drew five...

Video Game Haikus
Greetings, Readers!
Here at A Bit of Geek, we like to think we enrich your minds with our tidbits of video game knowledge. But what we also want to do is to give your geek souls the proper nourishment they need as well. So we present you with our video game poetry, written in haiku verse, to give you thoughts to ponder the deep questions of life. Without further adieu, we present: Video Game Haikus
A simple duck hunt,
controller pressed to the screen.
The dog laughs at me.
The true enemy.
Worse than the evil Ganon,
the water temple.
Forged from a blizzard.
Need additional pylons.
A craft of the stars.
Childhood memories,

10 Super-Important Supernatural Things to Discuss With Your Significant Other
Chances are, if you think your significant other (s.o.) is "the one", you've had many, many important discussions about your relationship and future. What will you name your children? Where will you live? What kind of cars will you buy?
It is my opinion that there are some subjects that are overlooked. Financial, moral, etc. But what about the really weird stuff?
Today we will address the ever-mysterious world of the paranormal and the effect it...
