Star Wars Clone Wars: Republic Heroes First Impressions
I got to meet up with my pals from Lucas during E3 yesterday, and they walked me through their Star Wars themed title. A classic battle between good and evil (is there any other kind?), you battle your way through levels wielding your Light Saber and powers of the Force. But this game isn't based on the classic Star Wars franchise — it takes off after season one of the hugely popular animated series on the Cartoon Network, Clone Wars.
Clone Wars Love: My Interview with Ashley Eckstein
If you haven't seen Star Wars: Clone Wars yet, then you probably haven't been properly introduced to Ahsoka Tano, the newest butt-kicking female to be ushered into the Star Wars family and who just so happens to be Anikin Skywalker's new headstrong apprentice!
I saw the movie recently, and had the pleasure of talking with Ashley Eckstein who voices Ahsoka in the animated flick, about her role in the franchise, what it was like to play such an enthusiastic character, and whether or not she's a bonified geek. You may know Ashley from the hit TV series That's So Raven as Muffy, but now?
War on Drugs Makes Women the Enemy
If you've been following the story of Cleveland's alleged serial killer Anthony Sowell, you know it's horrific. Eleven female bodies have been found in and around the man's home, leaving the public wondering how could these crimes go on undetected for years. Writing in the Daily Beast, Cleveland journalist Mansfield Frazier says he knows why: Sowell was able to kill drug-addicted women without anyone noticing because the war on drugs targets women.
Geek Out With My Star Wars Roundup!
The release of the latest Star Wars movie, The Clone Wars, is coming up next week and although it's an animated feature, I'm sure it will be big — It's Lucas, so it must be. I'm not quite a Jedi Master, but I do appreciate my Star Wars entertainment like anyone else, having seen the entire series a few times, so I'm sure I'll be checking out the movie. I'm hoping to see a few Sith Lords and Storm Troopers waiting in line on opening night (fingers crossed), so I'll be sure to have my camera ready!
Top Chef Vegas: Episode 9
On the latest Top Chef, the remaining eight cheftestants have to prove they can work as a team. The quickfire involves blindfolds and the elimination challenge is everyone's favorite, what Padma dubs the "most anticipated episode of the season," restaurant wars. To discuss all the delicious details, read more
30 Seconds to Mars & Kanye "Hurricane" — Love It or Leave It?
Kanye West and Jared Leto's 30 Seconds to Mars may seem like an odd pairing. The two artists had some beef in the past after West took a dig at Leto when the front man won an award, but it appears they've become friends since then. (They even sat next to each other at Fashion Week earlier this year.) Now they've collaborated on a new tune, and what's even more surprising is that I'm actually kind of loving it.
Hello Wars: Star Wars and Hello Kitty Mashed Up, Adorable
My geeksugar readers, I know some of you love Hello Kitty. And I know some of you love Star Wars. Do you love both?!
Give War Powers Back by Asking For Congress's Opinion?
Adopting some wisdom from America's founding fathers, a bipartisan panel of former US officials concluded that the president should consult Congress before going to war. Congress last officially declared war, as called for in Article I of the Constitution, during World War II.
The National War Powers Commission, led by former secretaries of states James Baker III and Warren Christopher, proposed a law to require a congressional vote of approval or disapproval before the US engages in significant armed conflict for more than a week, except in cases of emergencies.
Star Wars Quilt: Love It or Leave It?
It may be Star Trek mania right now, but I'm still a Star Wars girl as well.
I was smitten with the Star Wars Throw Pillow when I saw it, and now I am equally taken with the coordinating Star Wars Quilt, featuring an embroidered-on Millennium Falcon (on sale for $197 until Monday).
Think about it: it's not like your duvet, so you don't have to commit to it as a decor option.
Top Chef Quiz: Restaurant Wars
Last night's Top Chef was a good one; the majority of the of the show focused on restaurant wars. It was the first time we saw some of the major players serve bad dishes and one of the few times that the judges were impressed with desserts. Were you paying attention?
