Oh Circuit City, how you deceived me so.
Your sales weren’t really that low.
Looking for employees I did try,
but only tumbleweeds went by.
It made me almost want to cry,
but then again there’s my local Best Buy.
And even though they’re your foe,
it is sad to see you go.
Remember, remember March 8th.
For that’s the day Circuit City lost their faith.…

Last week, we interviewed Susan Hancock, the owner of maid cafe: Royal/T.  In this second part of the interview, we talk to one of the lovely maids, Kat.

Nerdsociety(NS):  How did you find this job?
Kat(K):  I’m a cos-player and I read about a maid cafe opening up in America on the internet.  I was so happy when I found out that Royal-T was near my apartment and I scheduled a job interview immediately!

NS:  What’s your favorite part of the job?
K:  I love meeting customers!  Royal-T events and parties are so fun because you can meet people …

When I was about 12, I’d buy toys that I thought were “rare” or “collector’s item”.  Sometimes, I’d spend my hard earned allowance on crappy figures that toy magazines were hyping as hard to find.  Most of the figures were terrible but I still bought them.  Maybe that’s why they were rare to begin with: no one wanted them in the first place.  Whatever the reason, I followed the magazines blindly.  Instead of buying toys because I liked the character or because I thought it looked cool, I was buying it for its “value”.   I was becoming a sheep.

One of …

TMZ.com has the audio up here. 

Kevin and Bean from KROQ received a surprise call from Christian Bale this morning during Ralph’s entertainment segment. I thought it was going to be another segment where they were going to make fun of Bale’s outburst, but it turned out to be the real Christian Bale. Now we get to hear his side of the story.

Bale said that he’s not used to being a movie star and still thinks of himself as an actor first. And when he gets into his role, he really gets into it. He was talking about his …

I heard of Royal/T through Pacific Media Expo. Royal/T was promoted as a cafe with maids dressed in anime outfits. I thought it’d just have maids serving us teas and snacks. My friends and I decided to drive to Culver City and check out the place.…

Super Bowl was great but let’s discuss what we watch it for – the ads:

Best: Coke

It looked playful and I loved the way the insects worked as a team to get the Coke bottle from a picnic.  Reminded me of one of my favorite games of all time, Pikmin.  It usually it pisses me off when companies copy concepts from other products but this one was done so well that I’m giving it a pass.

Worst: 3-D Gimmick
A couple of ads were in 3-D, like Monsters vs. Aliens and the Heroes’ Previews.  The 3-d glasses just …

I decided to write a blog about colognes tonight………………..because I’m metro (pops the collar!) and smelling good never goes out of style, even for us fanboys.  Colognes have gotten a bad rap for years, and with good reason.  A lot of them smell like ass.  I’ve been using cologne for a while now though, and there are several amazing ones.  I picked only top designer colognes.  I have chosen the five best colognes on the market, and a few of the worst. 

My advice is to go to a department store and ask to try some of my favorites (there are …

I’ve got nothing much to say, other than this week is black week. We have Martin Luther King day and the inauguration of Mr. Obama. We are living in an exciting time and we have two very charismatic speakers with their goals of change. History is in the making ladies and gentlemen. History, I say.…

To all the people that say that, I encourage you to step into a ring with an average guy wearing 8-ounce gloves. Then, have that person hit you 200 times in your face and your body with full power. Now, replace that person with Pacquiao and you know how much heart Oscar had. The average joes out there would quit after one punch to the face by Pacquiao, Oscar took almost 200 power shots before his cornermen threw in the towel.…

Well I was looking for ideas for my outfits that I wanted to do for a convention, and one of the props that was on the list was Silly String.…
