7 Things I Wish Had Happened 10 Years Sooner

We currently live in a world of great change. I remember seeing cell phones the size of my forearm. I remember when e-readers were a thing of fantasy. There are days when I think I should have been born a long time ago, and other days when I wish I had been born a bit later so I didn't have to suffer through the growing pains of this technology boom. It may be hard to see, but in 100 years, people are going to talk about this time period as the third Industrial Revolution. Oh hey it's already being called that! Welcome to future my friends; we're living in our parents Sci-fi novels, isn't it great? Who doesn't want to be able to use 3D printers? A million other wonderful changes are happening that I can't even get to in a single article.

7. Good Horror Movies

Remember how there was the great period of horror movies where they had to have paramedics on site just in case someone fainted? Remember how there was the terrible period of movies when the last ten minutes should have been cut from the film to make it 9,000 times better? I suffered through the latter one. It was a miserable time for films. Especially those lovely horror films that were remade into something I consider a tragedy to good movies. Lately there has been an uprising of beautifully executed films. I wish that had been ten years ago when the slump was at its worst.

If you haven't seen anything by Guillermo Del Toro you should go change that right now, at least "Pan's Labyrinth". There has also been "Insidious", which feels like an answer to all of our yelling at the stupid characters to do something other than sit there and let the ghosts tear them apart.

Exclusive interview with Chef Blorf Tart

Interview by Nathan O.

Whether or not you've seen his much-talked-about appearance on America's favorite show “It’s Morning Time,” or read his bestselling autobiography "Make Food, Not Love,” Chef Blorf Tart has exploded into a cultural phenomenon that is sweeping the nation. I recently had a chance to interview Chef Blorf about this new book--Blorf Tart’s Dollar Menu Cookbook--and was lucky enough to get some new recipes that are now a web-first EG exclusive!

Indie Game Squeeeee: Mew-Genics!

Game: Mew-Genics! 

System: Steam, iOS, and Android
State: In Development
Developer: Team Meat

Mew-Genics is an upcoming title from the deliciously alternative indie development team, Team Meat, comprised of Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes. Mew-Genics-- recently confirmed to be a crazy cat lady sim--is shaping up to be something special that one normally wouldn't see in other sim games. Not that I'm going to do Mew-Genics the disservice of trying to compare it to other city or evolutionary sim games. No, it takes a special kind  of  fool to not recognize that Team Meat  is creating something rather special with Mew-Genics.

Notes From The Underground

Hollywood Undead's climb from the underground has been one that I have watched with baited breath. I have never wanted any one group to succeed as much as I've wanted to see this band rise to true fame. They've captivated me with their beats and intricate lyrics, as well as entertained with their obviously stereotypical songs. A lot of people may like some songs but not the rest, but I've loved them all. This is the only band in existence that I can say that I have truly enjoyed everything they've ever made. From the stereotypical "I Must Be Emo," to the partying song, "Everywhere I Go." From the suicidal tendencies, "Bullet," to the obsessing over ex girlfriends, "Another Way Out." They get drunk, get high, party, and fuck. That's their M.O. They're crazy shit talkers who have no censors. They say what they want and can take the repercussions. 

7 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Disneyland

The Monsanto House of the Future

Yep, I love going to the happiest place on earth. I’m talking of no other place than Disneyland. True, I’m a complete nut for the little known facts and trivia about the park, and over the years I've come to collect a number of interesting tidbits that the average person just hasn't heard before. So, without further adieu, I present 7 things you probably didn't know about Disneyland.

7. Corsets and Bras From the land of OZ. Well, Main Street actually.

What’s that? Lingerie In Disneyland? You bet. In fact there was an entire lingerie shop called The Wizard of Bras. The Intimate apparel shop selling bras and corsets was on Main Street USA and lasted from 1955 till January 1956 and was in the location now occupied by The China Closet.

Ticket to Ride: Game Review

In 2004, Days of Wonder published a board game called “Ticket to Ride.” Since its debut, dozens of expansions have been released all over the world. The version I have played is the North American version, but there are others based all over the world. There is even, unsurprisingly, an app for it. The game is fairly simple in concept, but can be much more difficult in execution.
