There is something mysterious about the coffee table. This simple, shorty version of the traditional table can magically turn into the nexus of any living/entertainment room. This $7,600 coffee table also includes a functional and miniature foosball game. Miniature versions of bar games are so darn cute!

D&D 4.0 Announced

I haven’t played Dungeons & Dragons for years, but I do like to occasionally see what the rules are up to. It appears the rules are shedding the husk of the third (and third-point-five) edition to erupt crackling in a new “4.0″ edition sometime next year.
I’ve been trying to get other writers in New York [...]

The Art of Glen Angus

I recently stumbled on the art of Glen Angus and was struck by his talent, despite the fact that military pin-up posters aren’t the sort of thing for which I’m typically ga-ga. But the guy knew how to paint, for sure, and I passed the link on to friends.
I didn’t realize it at the time, [...]

Lego Guitar Hero Controller

Although my Guitar Hero days are numbered as I get ready to move to Rock Band, I have to salute these two great tastes that taste great together: Lego and DIY GH controllers.

Jaime Kennedy Bombs at E3

Proving my theory that anyone who has ever participated in something titled “$Their_Name Project|Experiment|Group” is a douche trooper, Jaime Kennedy, obviously high as fuck, bombs at an E3 press function. It’s mostly just painful death of comedy, but stick around for a casual owning from a laid back British developer.

Unlike the Mortal Kombat 4 video we’ve got after the jump, this ending from Neo Contra is clearly tongue-in-cheek. That doesn’t make it any less great, however; I think I’ll watch it every morning to prepare to face the day.
The MK4 ending is just trash, though. What a joke of a series.

Fünde Razor in Toy Collector Mag

Toy Collector magazine’s July issue features an article about Guitar Hero and was kind enough to interview me about Fünde Razor, our little get-together we do each year for the Child’s Play Charity.

Love me, love my rhythm-based videogame addiction. While the Guitar Hero series will hold many greater memories for me—raising money for Child’s Play via Fünde Razor; playing a round on Expert in front of a live crowd; hearing my 8-year-old brother sing the opening lick to “Ironman”—I’ve put the game behind me, as the brand [...]

Still hunting for a Father’s Day gift? Each year we make the same recommendation: skip the ties and expensive golf gear and give dad a good quality (but not too expensive) pocket knife. Don’t get him a 6” hunting knife, either – unless he collects them. Pick up a functional knife that [...]

If you just look at these user-made screenshots from the Xbox 360 game Forza Motorsport 2, you might not realize why they are so cool—putting a fancy paint job on a videogame car isn’t exactly difficult, you could presume. But the thing about these cars is that Forza 2 doesn’t let you upload graphics into [...]

A poster at videogame forum Quarter to Three has built a custom racing cabinet for just $17, using the sort of “Let’s just dick around at Home Depot” engineer acumen I think we can all appreciate. Sure, it’s clearly made of raw lumber, but you can’t beat the satisfaction of DIY, especially when the full-sized [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
