Geek Gazette: December/January Edition Online

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Thu, 12/14/2006 - 7:22pm

The December 2006/January 2007 edition of Geek Gazette is available for download [pdf]. The latest edition of the PDF ezine offers holiday tips for geeks, year's end "top ten" lists, thoughts on what makes a good role-player, podcast recommendations, and a geek gift wish list.

That'd be enough for any normal edition, but it goes on with quick reviews of the superhero RPG Mutants & Masterminds, the geek film Clerks 2 and the D&D source book Magic of Eberron, a comic book round up, geek TV, and a hefty convention calendar. In short, if you've been feeling less than geeky lately, this should fix you up nicely.

And gingerbread TIE Fighters zoomed in their heads...

I have my geek tree ... this German geek has a gingerbread TIE fighter. Inspired by Darth Vadar's advanced TIE fighter from A New Hope, this thing features over-sized wings laced with white icing, I can only assume that the brown stuff holding it together is some sort of super-strength molasses. The question is, will this give rise to an entire gingerbread Empire, complete with star destroyers, death stars, and shuttles for little gingerbread rebels to steal so they can sneak on to a gumdrop moon? Only time will tell.
