Best Geeky Finds – Review: Santa’s Slay (2005)

bestgeekyfindsToday may be the day after Christmas, but it’s not too late to watch holiday movies. Why not a horror comedy? If you’re not ready for something like Krampus (I’m certainly not), why not delve into a premise even more ridiculous? Santa’s Slay (rated R) is based on one simple premise where Santa Claus (WWE Heavyweight Bill Goldberg) is actually Satan’s son. Around the same time Christ was born, a child was born on Earth from one of Satan’s flings. This child, named Santa (who else?), did what any other demon would do — create havoc and torture all around him. Everything changed one particular Christmas night though.

Best Geeky Finds – Geeky Holiday Classics Part 1

bestgeekyfindsWhen I’m on the road or shopping during the month on December, I always seem to be in the Christmas spirit. This could be due to the very fact that I’m not on the road or in stores, but I attribute this more to the availability of holiday music and TV specials available at the click of a button.

Best Geeky Finds – Marketing the Console Wars

bestgeekyfindsIt’s Black Friday weekend, which means video game sales are rolling out (if they haven’t already where you live). The PS4 and Xbox One are in high demand, and we’re getting games like Star Wars: Battlefront, Lego Dimensions, and Fallout 4. The amazing thing is, I don’t see commercials on television for many of these games anymore. This may be due to changes in how gamers get their news, so most of these ads are limited to the Internet.

Thinking about this, I turned to the Internet to see how games were advertised in the past for systems I played as a kid (I’m still behind the times with a PS2 and Wii, but even those aren’t for the games I turn on to relax). Continue reading Best Geeky Finds – Marketing the Console Wars
