Best Bruce Lee Movies
It is rumored that Bruce Lee was reincarnated as Chuck Norris's beard. Perhaps that's why Bruce Lee is so aptly nicknamed "The Little Phoenix." Or maybe it's because he's a kung-fu master. Yeah, that sounds about right. Getting his start as a child actor in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee eventually made his way to the United States and opened up several martial arts schools. He was devoted to the art of teaching and was successful. He gained recognition as an actor when he starred in The Green Hornet in 1966. From there, he and his family moved back to Hong Kong where he worked on a number of films. Bruce Lee set the standard as a kung-fu god which others strive to reach. Even after his death, Lee is known as the master of martial arts.

Most Insane Mad Max Cars
Thankful for its imminent return to the screen in 2015, Geeks has been furiously devouring all things Mad Max. Thanks to director George Miller maintaining the directorial reigns, Fury Road aptly captures the essence of the original trilogy. They all appear to follow a similar formula as well. Patchwork cars rev up similarly, actors' lines cue in at the same time, and the movie's action culminates in a crescendo of violence. Whether this was done purposely or guided by subconscious nostalgia is unknown, but we’re excited to see the road warrior return to the fury of the post-apocalyptic wasteland again. In honor of the return of a successful franchise, we compiled the most insane, action-packed, death-driving vehicles from the perilous universe of Mad Max.

Hottest Video Game Girls
As video game companies continue to work to bring gamers the latest in enhanced virtual reality, including the realiest virtual breasts, it's a good time to reflect on all of the hottest video game girls that have been part of many epic gaming experiences. Although there has been controversy surrounding the portrayal of women in video games for years, they still continue to kick ass. Games starring female protagonists that are both resourceful players and absurdly attractive are hitting the shelves with more frequency. Some are femme fatales while others are resourceful companions or explorers, but all of these hottest video game girls are united in their undeniable ability to make gamers tick.

Hilarious Superhero Spoofs
We don’t quite know how it happened, but over the past 15 years or so we have become infatuated by superhero films. X-Men is often credited as being the first great superhero movie, but it really kicked into pop culture in 2008 with the release of Iron Man. Ever since (with the notable exception of the DC universe) the movies have moved away from dark and depressing tones and messages to be more irreverent and full of quips, especially in the wake of films like Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy. So naturally, if superhero movies are going to get funny, the parodies of them are going to come thick and fast too.

Business of Being a Female Gamer
The relatively mild mannered “other” Ryan of 8-Bit Gaming posted an impassioned vlog entitled “This has to stop.” In the video, Ryan explains that he finally had enough of one woman’s presence on Twitch. Given Ryan’s usual focus on more positive aspects of gaming, “this has to stop” as a title definitely jumps out among his other videos. The woman in question apparently turned her channel into your average pay for play porn streaming site. Ryan’s problem with her was focused on the fact that the woman had potentially reached the eyes and ears of Twitch’s largely underage user base.
