Unwinnable

You know what there is a lot of at GDC? Beards. We’re not talking five o’clock shadows, we’re talking elaborate facial topiaries that would be the envy of Viking warriors. Unwinnable is no stranger to facial hair – there are at least half a dozen mighty beards currently on staff – so we sent our intrepid photographer Daniel Imperiale into the wilds of the GDC 2013 show floor to track down the most exquisite examples of beard-growing that he could find (not to mention a couple handsome mustaches).  (more…)

The City. For some, it’s a romantic ideal of big ideas, big dreams and big living. City of Lights. City of Angels. City of Dreams. For others it is a cesspool. A place associated with detritus, depravity and desperation. City of Sin. Naked City. Both sides are sources of inspiration for art, for video games and for music.

Join us for 100 minutes of music about the City. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The light and the dark. (more…)

It was 9:15 in the morning, far earlier than I am generally awake, and I was running late. I was supposed to be at the First Presbyterian Church of Arlington to help finish setting up Geek Flea 3 at 9:00 a.m. My phone rang – it was probably my partner in crime, John “Hambone” McGuire, calling to find out where the hell I was. I answered and said hello, bracing for a scolding.

“Hey, dude. Just so you know, Mark Mariano‘s car is on fire right in front of the church. The fire department has the street blocked off at Kearny Ave., so you are going to have to come around the back way.” (more…)

When you are running any kind of event that is open to the public, you actually have to let the public in. Sometimes, that can be a dodgy prospect. This is probably doubly true for a flea market. (more…)
