Senior Writer at GeekVibesNation - I am a 60 something child of the 70’s who admits to being a Star Trek/Star Wars/Comic Book junkie who once dove headfirst over a cliff (Ok, it was a small hill) to try to rescue his Fantastic Four comic from a watery grave. I am married to a lovely woman who is as crazy as I am and the proud parent of a 21-year-old young man with autism. My wife and son are my real heroes.

To commemorate the films release, Best Buy has announced that it will offer an exclusive steelbook containing the Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD redemption code. Meanwhile, Amazon and Target will offer Spider-Man fans a chance to…

This, of course, is the Production Company of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his partner Dany Garcia. Along with Dany’s Brother Hiram they have been one of the most busy and successful production companies going. One of their most recent projects, an indie film entitled Fighting with My Family was chosen to be shown at the Sundance Film Festival. Family involves an entire family whose life is wrestling.…

Updating ‘Arcade 1UP Pac-Man’ with Raspberry Pi PC

When I posted my review of my son’s Arcade 1UP Pac-Man cabinet, I mentioned that I would like to one day, upgrade it to play more games. Seeing as I had a little time, I have accomplished this goal. After quite a bit of Google research, I found that the easiest way and the one that brought the least amount of expense was going the Raspberry Pi route. For those of you unfamiliar, the Raspberry Pi is basically a computer in a very small package. People use them for a number of different projects but they have become increasingly popular for…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14935″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When this season’s Agents of Shield trailer was released, it seemed to confirm what was revealed previously by Chloe Bennett…Phil Coulson was dead. But at the end of the trailer, there was Clark Gregg, looking very Agent Coulson like, but not. So what gives? Recently, in an interview with Marvel.Com, Gregg discussed the trailer and fact that the person seen is in fact, not Phillip J. Coulson which is definitely a strange position for the actor to be in: “Very strange,” Gregg says. Very strange. The Coulson role and persona, though always evolving and always having new…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/8fhOItB0zUM” align=”center”][vc_column_text]With all the movie trailers being released during the Super Bowl, it made sense for HBO and Game of Thrones to get in on the party. The way those chose to do it was to say the least, unusual and to say the most for “Bud Knight,” crushing (See above). I have to admit, at first I thought it was a typical Bud Light commercial. You know, “Dilly, Dilly” and all that. That quickly changed when the “Bud Knight” was unceremoniously unseated and you saw who was responsible. It only got worse from there as the Mountain did to the…

I promise it will never happen again and if you still need to see one, the review can be posted for Ruin. In the meantime, let’s get back to the city they call Gotham. Jim had received a tip from Barbara (she received something from him too, but that was last episode: teaser), so he went to visit an arms dealer who had sold an RPG recently. They find him…

It’s here! The big Game you all been waiting for! #AvengersEndGame pic.twitter.com/Wvxj2FgT8F — Geek Vibes Nation (@GeekVibesNation) February 3, 2019 While the Super Bowl itself started slow, Marvel’s Trailer game started with a bang as within the first few minutes, they presented a new trailer for Avengers: End Game (see above). In it, we hear Steve Rogers explain how while other people have luxury of “moving on,” they do not. We also get to see glimpses of Tony and Nebula, Black Widow, Thor, Ronin, Rocket, Ant Man, War Machine, Bruce and of course, Cap and his Shield, together again. The trailer…

Had Ben Affleck and Warner Bros. reached an agreement for his return as Batman, the new film would have had Affleck’s Dark Knight appear in the film as the present day Batman in the beginnng and in the end of the story. In addition, it also appeared that Affleck’s Batman would have been in the plans of Birds of Prey starring Margot Robbie which is currently in production. However, as was announced…
