A Tribute to The Mead of Skyrim

Posted by Jill Harness in Entertainment, Gaming, Music, Video Clips on February 11, 2012 at 11:34 pm

If you’ve played Skyrim, then you’ll not only appreciate the song and video, but you’ll also realize how much work they had to put in to fill all those rooms with mead bottles at the end of the video.

This Pup Really Likes Baths

Posted by Jill Harness in Animals & Pets, Living, Video Clips on February 10, 2012 at 11:28 pm

I don’t know about you guys, but I have never had a dog that actually enjoyed baths, especially one that pretty much laid back and soaked like this one does. I can tell you it would be a welcome change though.

The Cutest Dental Clinic In The World

Posted by Jill Harness in Living on February 6, 2012 at 12:14 am

There’s Hello Kitty restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and more, so why not a dentist office? For those that just can’t stand the sterile environment of the standard dentist clinic, the Hello Kitty dentist office is a welcome alternative…even if it means having to travel to Japan just for a teeth cleaning.

Skyrim’s Only Pacifist

Posted by Jill Harness in Entertainment, Gaming, Video Clips on February 3, 2012 at 9:55 pm

The whole point of Skyrim is to kill dragons, which is precisely what makes it so bizarre to play as a pacifist. Surprisingly, it is possible…at least to some extent. I can’t imagine he’ll be able to be the game this way through.

The Expert Mode You Don’t Want To Mess With

Hardcore gamers love expert mode because it provides them with such a challenge…but no matter how good you are at aiming, I don’t recommend trying out this advanced level -especially if you ever have any ladies visit your home.

What Does Your Favorite Video Game Say About You?

Posted by Jill Harness in Entertainment, Gaming on January 30, 2012 at 10:54 pm

Last week, Miss C asked what your favorite blog says about you, but have you ever wondered what your favorite game says about you?

Street Fighter: You can’t spell some words.

Braid: You save old Moleskines full of doodles.

Tetris: You wear a short-sleeved shirt and tie to work.

Skyrim: You’re working on a novel.

Duke Nukem: You say “I’m street smart, not book smart.”

Pac-Man: You’re the last surviving consumer of Good & Plenty.

I think I would be working on a novel…but I don’t have the time thanks to Skyrim.

Resident Evil 6 Is Full of “Revelaitons”

Posted by Jill Harness in Art & Design, Design, Entertainment, Gaming on January 28, 2012 at 10:35 pm

If you’re releasing advanced copies of your new video game, you probably want to make sure everything is perfect, lest the reviewers critique you for something that won’t even be in the final version of the game. Of course, while you’re probably focusing most of your energy on the game itself, it’s generally a good idea to at least take a good look at the box art and spelling, lest you release “revelaitons” to the world.

The Oatmeal’s Delightful Valentine’s Day Cards

The Oatmeal is certainly the first site I think of for cards when I want to slide a note over to my secret crush at the Neatorama office. That’s why the site’s Valentine’s Day cards are just so darn wonderful… of course, that might also be why Zeon has a restraining order against me.

The Creepiest House Cleaning Reminder Ever

Of course, the problem here is that skin and again can be made to rhyme, so what will happen if you don’t put the dishes in the dishwasher…certainly you won’t get the hose again. Then again, do you really want to risk finding out what Buffalo Bill will do to you if you defy him?

People Freaking Out Over The Wikipedia Blackout

Posted by Jill Harness in Blogs & Internet, Business, Politics, Society & Culture on January 18, 2012 at 4:22 pm

By now, I’m sure you have all heard about SOPA and PIPA being as how every blog in the world has been talking about them as of late. Even those that are usually apolitical (like Neatorama) have taken a stand against the legislation, but despite all the talk and Wikipedia’s many messages warning about their upcoming blackout, some people still didn’t get the memo.

That’s where Herpderpedia comes in… chronicling the Tweets of people freaking out over the Wikipedia blackout despite the many warnings on the site and the fact that its blackout message clearly describes what’s going on.

Sure the Twitter account will only have one good day, but it’s certain to bring endless enjoyment for the internet snobs around the country.

17 Great Geeky Hats For National Hat Day


January is filled with weird holidays, from Run Up The Flag Pole and See if Anyone Salutes Day (January 2) to Play God Day (January 9) to Measure Your Feet Day (January 23), but of all the strange holidays this month, perhaps one of the most fun is National Hat Day on the 15th. While there are plenty of fun ways to celebrate this holiday, there’s perhaps no better way for our Neatorama readers to celebrate with a great geek hat like one of these.

Knitted/Crocheted

Unsurprisingly, many of the best geek hats are custom made and, since many nerds also enjoy crafting, the majority of great geek hats you’ll find are knitted or crocheted.

Nerd Domo

As if any crochet Domo hat weren’t nerdy enough, Etsy seller littlepopos opted to make Domo in his excellent nerd incarnation, complete with tape on his glasses.

Skyrim

What better way to play your role as the Dovahkiin than to wear this delightful crochet steel helm based on the in-game icon by Etsy seller CreativeExcess. If you don’t want to fork over the money to get your own completed hat, you can always buy the pattern for $5, which is sort of a real-world version of forging your own helmet.

Pikachu

Pika-Pika-Pika-Hat! Why catch them all when you can get the cutest Pokemon hat from Etsy seller littlepopos?

Flying Spaghetti Monster
