How many Bottle Caps is your house worth? How about Septims? Maybe in Creds? Sure, you might not actually be living in Fallout, Skyrim or Judge Dred, but you can still at least figure out how much your Dollars, Euros or Pounds are worth in your favorite fantasy or scifi series.

You see plenty of geek heels out there, but not that many wedges, which is a real shame when you think about it, as the wider heels give you so much more space to show off your nerdy interests. These particular heels are available through DeckoFab's Etsy shop.
Last weekend, Zeon and I had the opportunity to visit the BotCon, a Transformers convention held by the Transformers Collectors' Club. This year, it happened to take place in our hometown of San Diego, so we dropped by and documented some of the action on the floor for those of you who couldn't make it (and those who didn't even know this convention exists).
While cosplayers tend to travel the floor at most conventions, the handful of well-costumed guests were forced to stay in the front corner of the floor because the convention was so small and the costumes tended to be so big.
In fact, when these cosplayers visited a booth in full costume, the crowding got so out of hand that the security guards had to ask them to go back to the front of the floor.
The cosplayers politely agreed and for the most part, when I saw them walk around through the booths later on, it was as quickly as possible in the cumbersome costumes or with pieces like the helmets removed so people wouldn't stop the flow of traffic by taking pictures.
Of course, not all of the cosplay was quite so difficult to navigate in. This lovely gal got around just fine despite her massive mallet.
Here was another easy-to-maneuver costume option and she didn't even have to lug around a giant hammer.
Those. Kicks. Were. Fast as lightening. It was. A little bit frightening.
And that's not only how to Kirk-Fu, but also how to sing the song as Captain Kirk.
As the most fashion-forward of the My Little Ponies, it somehow makes sense that Rarity is be down with dressing a little freaky when the occassion calls for it. Horses in trashy lingerie? I think Dr. Frank N. Furter would be proud by DeviantArt user Voodoo-Tiki's creation.
We've seen 221B Baker Street in cosplay, but for those who don't want the Sherlockian address to overtake their entire ensemble, Etsy seller FeerieDoll sells this great Baker Street bag that's the perfect accessory for the Holmes fan.
Chicken and waffles are a delicious flavor combination, but they're also a bit hard to eat...until now. Mom On Timeout has all the instructions you need to make your own tasty chicken and waffle ranch sliders at home.
You know what they say, double your turtle, double your fun. Oh, that's not an expression, well it should be now that this healthy, double-headed turtle baby named Thelma and Louise was just born at the San Antonio Zoo.

She may be a serious bad ass, but that doesn't mean that Daenerys Targaryen and her three baby dragons can't be utterly adorable as well. DeviantArt user kinkei designed this cutie to celebrate her favorite character (she's my favorite too).
The giving tree has made many a youngster cry as the tree gives her all just to please the boy she loves. In tribute of one of the saddest children's books around, Sincerely Stephanie created these fantastic nails based on the book's cover.
