Looking for WMAs of Third Eye Blind? You’re going to have to look elsewhere. Effective immediately, LimeWire, the popular peer-to-peer file-sharing service, has gone the way of pagers, pay phones and the Walkman. In 2006, the music industry filed a suit against the service for a “massive scale of infringement”…
A team of barbarians accompanied by vixens in blueberry-colored babushkas and wrapped in animal skins, riding bicycles across the city in search of lost treasures with just a manifest to guide them: It’s something you’re likely to see at Dethride, a Halloween bicycle scavenger hunt sponsored by MsHurricane and One…
Halloween weekend is just a few days away, and Denver is overflowing with ghostly activities. We know it’s a daunting to keep track of all the events, so we’ve compiled a handy list of two-dozen ways for you to get your Halloween on. Whether you’re interested in dance parties, rock…
To be perfectly honest, we could have closed our eyes and stuck our hands into a flier bin and picked out an awesome flier for Halloween weekend, so picking just one this week was difficult. Even so, this lively DeVotchKa flier caught our eye over some of the others, mainly…
Glorg is a simple game with no pretenses at being something bigger. In fact, it’s so simple you can play the thing and eat a sandwich at the same time, which is pretty much our ideal lunch break. If you’ve played the likes of Diablo and its kin, you’ll see…
We already warned you that the holiday pre-game was about to hit, and that hasn’t changed. There are new releases for everyone this week, whether you’re a fan of foreign films, multi-player online games or neuroscience. We’re a bit partial to the MMO for reasons that will be obvious in…
It’s a sad day for those who love the tactile feedback of a chunky Walkman. After being on the market for 31 years, Sony has officially put the cassette-model Walkman on ice. It might come as a surprise to some people that the Walkman was still being sold, but those…
Standing in line at the Boulder Theater, I was overwhelmed within less than 30 seconds by the nerdom of the evening, and I hadn’t even walked in the door yet. Around me was talk of Lord of the Rings, a woman playing Nintendo DS, a conversation about particle physics. It…
Judging by Jersey Shore alone, becoming famous isn’t particularly difficult these days. Still, a leg-up is always welcome, and if your parents are already stars, you’re pretty much guaranteed to at least get a chance to shine. Case in point, Willow Smith. Besides the fact we don’t actually understand what…
We’re closing in on Halloween, which means we’re going to start seeing the weekends filling up with plenty of ghoulish activities to keep you entertained. Sure, it’s still a week off, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start celebrating early. We’re all adults here after all, and if we want…
It seems like we’re accustomed to a lot of different types of freelance positions, from writers to designers and even lawn care. Even still, it was a bit surprising to find out freelance computer programmers exist, too. Sure, it’s a thin line between running your own business and freelancing, but…
If you’re anything like us, streaming music services like Pandora or lastfm don’t ever seem to really get things right. They’re always cool for a little bit, but inevitably, they end up repeating things to the point that we get bored. We’ll turn on the radio here and there as…
The 42nd annual MileHiCon should be an out-of-this-world draw for geeks of all shapes and sizes, everyone from costumed fans to Hugo Award-winning authors. Denver’s science-fiction literary convention spans three days and features over a hundred events, and traditionally attracts at least a thousand people each year. More than eighty…
If you’re the type who spends the weekend covered in fake blood, parading in front of a camera, then the inaugural Mile High Horror Film Festival is your cup of goo. The two-day festival will overflow with local, national and international indie-horror flicks, everything from student films and animation to…
To call Surfacing just a rock show doesn’t really do it justice; it’s a showcase of a variety of Denver’s talents all in one place. How do we know? Well, just look at this flier. It’s got a price for food on it! We’re pretty sure it’s the first time…
Look, we’re just as sick of zombie games as you are, which means they really need to step it up a notch to impress us. Thankfully, Road of the Dead does just that. It also has the benefit of playing exactly like the Super Nintendo game Outlander, which for whatever…
The French government has revealed a plan to combat piracy that could either be the most brilliant gesture ever or the most monumental waste of government resources of all time (okay, maybe not all time, but close). The proposal: French residents can buy a 50-euro gift card with which they…
Now that we’ve hit the midpoint of October, it means the releases are going to start ramping up a bit for the holidays. It’s already apparent what the big films and games are supposed to be, but with so much junk coming out, it’s still hard to keep track of…
Sad news this morning coming out of Minnesota. Over the weekend, City Pages, our sister paper in Minneapolis, reported that Michael Larsen, better known as the underground hip-hop artist Eyedea, passed away. The cause of death of the young rapper, who was just 28 years old, is uncertain at this…
October sure is settling in quickly. Each night is getting colder and the days are getting shorter. But just because the weather is trying to force you into hibernation doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to do this weekend on the cheap. If you’re saving your money for the absurd Xcel…
A couple of days ago, Flaming Lips front man Wayne Coyne posted a video of himself screen-printing a poster using his own blood. While the notion of Coyne doing anything weird at this point is hardly surprising, the clip got us to thinking about other artists that have likewise injected…
To most of us, Betty White has become a recurring annoyance on our favorite shows, and while we’ve been curious how or why she suddenly came back into fashion, we’ve never put much thought into it. We let her do her thing because after all, she’s old. However, according to…
