Student attends final ‘Twilight’ convention in Novi

·

If you had the opportunity to nerd out for something you love, would you? Think of the way Sheldon Cooper of “The Big Bang Theory” nerds out for his love of Spock and superhero icons (minus the slew of restraining orders and reassuring he’s not insane, which his mother had him tested for). I happen to belong in the category of “Twilight” fans who don’t show their devotion with wolf pack tattoos or golden contacts.

Not to mention the best tees are typically worn to death by their owners.

Matt on Music: Top 007 James Bond theme songs

·

I was a James Bond fan before I was a music fan. A lot of the first songs I remember liking are from the James Bond movies. From the John Barry scores to the title songs, almost every track from these films is ingrained in my mind. However, they just don’t seem quite as awesome as they did when I was a kid.


Staff picks: Video games
