Google Catalog Will Turn You Into A Flaming Fashionisto

What’s this? Google’s offering a new way for consumers to spend more time on the toilet? Holy app-le sauce, I can finally stop stealing my sisters catalogs! For those with iPads (sorry, but no love for Android tablet users) you can now download Google Catalog, a digital library of catalogs ranging from apparel to house warming gifts, for free. Now that I have an iPad to call my own, I decided to try it on for size. Find out how big my butt looks after the break!

The First Two Weeks of ‘The Trenches’

It makes sense that if Scott Kurtz and the Penny Arcade guys are co-inhabiting the same workspace, they’re gonna start churning out some product together. The result is last year’s announcement of The Trenches, a webcomic from the perspective of game testers. The trio write the strip while Kurtz does the artwork (Krahulik assists). News about the strip went dark for almost a year, but it finally emerged from the sea of simulation and we’re treated to what may be a very interesting series.

Goodbye, webOS

First off: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! …*sniff* now that that’s out of my system, let’s skip to the soul-crushing side-announcement today that, on top of HP’s desire to spin off it’s PC hardware business in its potential acquisition of Autonomy, the tech giant is also nixing its webOS operations, effectively killing the reason they acquired Palm for $1.5b a year ago.

What the Shit is this that I just Watched?

Seriously. I was going through our website reading old articles and decided to watch I Don’t Wanna be a Crappy Housewife again. I mean she is pretty cute (holla at me sometime Tonje!) so… don’t judge me. Read the rest of this article…

Minecraft – Revisited [UPDATED WITH VIDEO]

Some time ago, we talked about Minecraft, (Ok, we’ve talked about it a bunch of times but it’s been a while) and how its 8-bit charm is…well…charming.

Back then, the game was pretty limited. The things one could create, the usefulness of the various created objects, etc…It was pretty much mine and build and mine and build and kill a spider and mine and build. These days, though, the world of Minecraft is much bigger and much bolder than it was in those days.

HP, Why is the TouchPad Failing?

According to Wikipedia the HP TouchPad was released on July 1, 2011 in the US. Really? I haven’t seen any advertising telling me this. Lately I’ve been seeing commercials with Manny Pacquiao, Russell Brand and Lea Michele (HP, really likes that style of commercials) on Hulu quite a bit but I had no idea it was ACTUALLY out.

Oh LAWD! Star Trek TOS On Netflix Is Modernized And In HD?!

It sure is!

I started re-watching Star Trek – The Original Series a few days ago because I was bored out of my brain. When I started streaming it on Netflix I thought, right away, that something was odd…Different…I don’t remember the Enterprise looking like that. They didn’t have special effects like that in 1966.

Movie Review: 30 Minutes or Less

When you think of a recent black comedy, what do you think of? Observe & Report? Pineapple Express? While not as dark or bizarre as those films, 30 Minutes or Less enjoys being vulgar for the sake of being vulgar. On its face, that’s not really a problem, but it leads to a lot of cheap humor, something that many of those films aspired to be better than. Don’t get me wrong, the film is funny, the action is spectacular, and the leads are lovably awful. With its small cast of characters, there aren’t many surprises here, but the chemistry makes it work.

C’mon Now, Deus Ex: Invisible War Wasn’t That Bad. …Was It?

With the impending release of Square-Enix’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution – an RPG/FPS hybrid prequel to my favorite shooter of all time – comes a lot of renewed interest in the series. Well, strike that, interest in the original Deus Ex and a lot of brow-beating for its 2003 follow-up, Invisible War. I enjoyed the sequel for what it was worth, but does it deserve all the disrespect it’s received over the years?

Rapping with Allen Samuels, an Interview

Earlier I posted an article asking if Allen Samuels, the 55 year casino executive with his viral single “Livin De Life” was legit. As soon as I posted it to Twitter he reached out to us and I got an interview with him. He doesn’t want to get his company involved with his personal life so he wasn’t able to verify to me that he really is a casino executive. We respect his privacy and I’m leaning on the side that he is totally legit. Read the rest of this article…
