The junk that the mainstream media passes as news stories can be funny, saddening and downright dumb. When Congress approved an additional $70 Billion for the war on terror, CNN had a more important top news story for their readers: “What will you tell kids about Britney’s sister?” they asked. Since February of 1999, FARK.com and its massive community has been making fun of said “news”. GearCrave sat down for an interview with the founder of FARK.com and the godfather of social news, Drew Curtis. Farkers, myself included, salute Curtis as a bit of a hero. Continue reading to learn more about the man, the movement, and the hilarity that is FARK.com.

An unlikely superhero, James McAvoy plays the lead role in the latest comic book film adaptation, “Wanted”, starring himself, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. Mr. McAvoy’s talent has been celebrated for the sheer brilliance he puts into roles in films like Atonement, The Last King of Scotland and many more. As the lead character in “Wanted” develops from mild mannered, regular guy to the baddest of assassins, so too does McAvoy blossom into the role of an action superhero. GearCrave sat down with James McAvoy to discuss the role, the movie, and the lips of Miss Angelina Jolie… continue reading GearCravers, for a behind-the-scenes perspective on one of the Summer’s biggest action films.

For most of us, life didn’t turn out exactly the way we had planned as children. Your GearCrave editor just knew he was going to be a rock star, or maybe even President. Friends of ours were to be famous athletes, hero firefighters, a-list actors. While many of us may not have achieved the dream jobs we had as children, GearCrave knows a few who have. For the first in a series of interviews with inspiring people who did achieve those dreams, GearCrave sat down with Astronaut Clayton C. Anderson.
Out of 95 active-duty Astronauts in the US, not many actually get the chance to go into orbit. There are as few as one shuttle mission per year, three or four at best. Astronaut Clayton C. Anderson has earned himself quite a distinction: in 2007, he spent 5 months in space aboard the International Space Station. For those who shared Clayton’s dream of space flight as a child, you’ll find his story quite engaging and inspirational. Continue reading, GearCravers, to see life through the eyes of one of America’s heroes, NASA Astronaut Clayton C. Anderson.

“It is strange place, Liberty City. It sometime remind me of back home, in some places. But this American Dream is alive in very ugly ways, yet I am fixed to it as much as the next thug.” We’d hardly call Niko Bellic a thug. The star of Grand Theft Auto IV is a smart, humble, no-nonsense guy with a surprising touch of heart. While Niko does carry a heavy history, his wisdom and optimism carry him through a bold, new world of glitz, glamour, crime and punishment. For those who have spent some time with GTA IV, Niko is instantly engaging and fun. GearCrave sat down with Niko Bellic for a one-on-one interview to discuss his new life in the streets and alleys of Liberty City.
