Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
We love Cup Noodle, we’re not afraid to say it. True, it’s a far cry from the ramen of our local hole-in-the-wall ramen shop, but we still love it. This brings us to this PRETTY AWESOME Nissin Cup Noodle model we found posted on the BandaiHobby Facebook page. There was even a gallery of the model. Unfortunately there weren’t any details yet on where or when the above model will go on sale, but you can bet we’ll let you know.

We guess we know how season 2 of Netflix’s “Tiger King” saga is going to be about. [Editor’s note: this is a joke, there is no season 2 of “Tiger King” in the works.

“The West Wing” is one of those shows that makes you long for the ideal. In this case, a President who is intelligent, surrounds himself with intelligent people, and is written by one of the greatest wordsmiths of shows in this day and age.NBC series “The West Wing” was great. It still IS great, and holds up right now to the rigors of reviewership (totally a word) and review of an audience 21 years later. It is in a sense, a dream of a White House we should be able to have. That’s not to say it didn’t have it’s…

If you’re using video games to help cope with the current state of the world, it’s ok! You’re not alone, and sometimes tuning out for a little bit will help your mental well-being in the long run. The game that’s being used the most for just this type of virtual escapism is “Animal Crossing: New Horizons,” and we can’t think of a more calm way to spend a few hours. Today marks the first day of June, and that means a new crop of fish and bugs available in the game. ALSO, June means WEDDING SEASON! (Thanks to Polygon for…
