Welcome to Five by Friday! Join us in the comments or on your own blog–we’ve even provided a graphic for you, which you can either save to your own space or link from tinypic using the HTML code below. Just remove the asterisks, and you’re all set! This week’s Five by Friday takes a look back at […]
We’ve all been there at one time or another: there’s a panel we just have to see covering the coolest, most popular recent pop culture behemoth (my guesses for this year’s longest lines: anything to do with Guardians of the Galaxy or Arrow). These panels always draw the biggest crowds to the biggest ballrooms, which means you have to […]
Dragon Con is only two days away (flails excitedly) and you’re probably scrambling to pack, make last-minute costume adjustments, and getting ready to hit the road. You’ve put so much thought into getting there on time with costumes intact that you probably haven’t even stopped to think about what you’re going to eat this weekend. But, I […]
Around the Web We said goodbye to another beloved icon with the passing of Sir Richard Attenborough on Sunday August 24th. He’s best known to geeks the world round for his role as John Hammond in the Jurassic Park series and as Santa Claus in the remake of Miracle on 34th Street. You spared no […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! Every week, we’ll provide a nerdy topic of our choice, and start the game rolling with our own lists. Sometimes, we’ll work together on one list of five (as we did this week) and sometimes we’ll provide our own individual lists. Join us in the comments or on your own blog–we’ve […]

Welcome to Pick Your Poison, one of our occasional features! Here we will discuss our favorite versions of characters or franchises that have had multiple iterations and timelines. As we all know in geek circles, you can never have just one of something (excepting Highlanders), and Hollywood just can’t help itself when adapting our favorites. […]
Around the Web We said goodbye to an icon of entertainment and comedy, as Robin Williams passed away at the age of 63. He starred in countless films that made an indelible mark on all of our lives, including (but not even remotely limited to) Hook, Dead Poet’s Society, Aladdin, and Good Morning, Vietnam. He […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! This is our first installment of our weekly list-making endeavor. We here at Avenging Force are really fond of making lists, and we know we’re not the only ones–how else would sites like Buzzfeed and Thought Catalog even stay in business, if lists weren’t popular? Every week, we’ll provide a nerdy […]
This year marks the ten-year anniversary of when Teija and I started attending Dragon Con. (Excuse me, but where did all of that time go? Did we enter some sort of wormhole without my knowledge?) That first year, we didn’t really know what we were getting into. We just showed up on Friday afternoon, got our […]
