This last weekend, GEEKPR0N editor Rob and I were lucky enough to attend the Game Of Thrones Exhibition this year. Tickets, while free, sold out faster than Sansa on a platter of lemon cakes, but a friend of mine grabbed two extra in a wonderful display of foresight. Obviously, I happily took them and off we […]
There will be book and television spoilers in this article. Reader’s discretion is advised. A little while ago, when I first started reading George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, the books which the Game of Thrones television show is based from, I started thinking about the female characters of Westeros. I […]
Saturday April 5th is the second annual International Table Top Day as proclaimed by the Youtube channel Geek & Sundry. This year there are over 2000 events currently listed, including events in Toronto. Games have come a long way from Battleship and Operation – although those are both fun too. If the concept of a […]
The sole purpose of the Marvel series “What If …?” was to tell crazy stories and look at different ways classic Marvel storylines could have ended. They asked serious things like “What if Sue Storm chose Namor instead of Reed” or “What if Phoenix never died”? And they asked silly things like: And sometimes […]
This past Thursday saw the first Nintendo Direct of 2014, which focused primarily on major WiiU and 3DS titles that are due to come out spring of this year.

For most people, Halloween is that time of the year to let your freak flag fly and go out carousing in wacky, daring outfits. For cosplayers, it’s a Tuesday. And when it comes to bringing some spooks, these cosplayers don’t screw around.
Earlier this year, Nintendo announced that 2013 would be known as the Year of Luigi, dedicating the year to Mario’s often-marginalized younger brother. This was reflected in a handful of video game releases this year, starting with Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon and continuing with the expansion to New Super Mario Bros. U, titled New Super […]

Be it a mini-boss, level boss, or final boss, they’ve all become an integral part of video game language, and with good reason. At their best, they represent the culmination of all that a player has […]
Well, that was awkward. The commencement of Walk of Punishment, I mean. We start the episode with the Tullys and the Starks attending the funeral of Catelyn Stark’s elderly father. It’s not clear what the attendants find more painful; the loss of a loved one, or Edmure Tully’s complete ineptitude with a bow and arrow. […]
