  • Batman As An Adjective


    I don't know how many of you watch the Venture Brothers, but if you don't you should. It's pretty amazing and if you're nerdy or geeky at all, it will touch your special place.

    This past weekend's episode (you can see it at adultswim.com, although it probably won't make any sense if you aren't already a fan of the show) did us all of humanity a great service. No, I'm not talking about putting Master Billy Quizboy in a sack, Phantom Limb's new associates, the return of Sgt. Hatred's sinful urges, finding out the purpose for speed suits or even David Bowie's return. All those things were great. But the best part was finding a new dimension for Batman. More Here...
  • I Hate Monroe Piercings

     
    (Source)
    I'm open minded when it comes to piercings. I don't have any myself, but I'm not bothered by people who do, so long as it isn't excessive. Women with multiple ear piercings are fine by me, as are nose (except horseshoe ones) and navel ones, among others types.

    But there's always been one that strikes me as completely arbitrary, useless and totally unattractive: the Monroe. I suppose it emulates Marilyn Monroe's famous freckle or beauty spot, whatever you want to call it, and it's cool that so many people want to pay homage to an iconic figure. Except somehow they always wind up looking dumb and out of place.

    Maybe the idea is to send a message that says: faces are beautiful no matter how they look or what's on them. If that's the case, I applaud the sentiment, but I have to ask - is body modification the only way to get that point across?

    Let's put the Monroe this way: More Here...

  • UGK featuring OutKast - Int'l Players Anthem

    This is a collaboration between two of the best southern hip-hop duo's on the planet.  Houston's UnderGround Kingz and Atlanta's OutKast.

    Andre 3000 raps a nice little ditty about marriage and fidelity, Pimp C (R.I.P.) counters by doing what he does best, pimping.  Bun B. also discusses the finer points of pimping, as well as getting money, and Big Boi finishes it all off by reminding us not to get anyone pregnant.

    Classic.

  • Summer Glau: Shamelessly Ogle A Celebrity Week


    Keeping with the Firefly theme for a third straight day (there are some really happy nerds out there right now) we're going to be taking a closer look at Summer Glau, who played the incredibly disturbed super genius on that show. But really she just seemed like a creepy kid. Then she played the terminator, Cameron, on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and all of a sudden she was hot. When did that happen?

    Now that that critically acclaimed, much beloved sci fi show was canceled before it's time, she's onto her next critically acclaimed, much beloved sci fi show that was canceled before it's time, Dollhouse, for a few episodes and then who knows what? I'm sure whatever Joss Whedon does next he'll put her in. In the meantime she's making a strong argument to challenge Felicia Day for the title of queen of the nerds. And at least we'll always have the pictures. More Here...
  • Hire Me. Please.

    Getting a job is just annoying. It's not fun, or enjoyable, or anything. It is all hard work, e-mails, uncertainty, and rejection. I can't do anything, because I'm too busy refreshing my e-mail, the help wanteds, and then constantly checking my cell phone for messages. I just end up feeling useless and helpless.

    It doesn't have to be this way. I think this whole "finding a job" system we have in this country needs to be overhauled. Why should I have to put forth effort, or be a go-getter? Fuck that, I went to college, I already put my time in.

    This is what I think should happen. Instead of all of us unemployed people, applying for job after job, not hearing back, not knowing if we will get it, the employers should have to apply to us. More Here...

  • The Ultimate Public Service Announcement


    If you ever thought about lighting up a cigarette, watch this before you do. It will change your mind. The Ultimate Warrior is quite possibly the most intense wrestler who ever lived, and if you can't trust him...well, who can you trust?

    Besides, he's right - everyone has bad habits, but the only ones we should keep are the ones that help us survive. I've always known smoking wasn't the best idea, but after seeing a man single-handedly chew on dozens of cigarettes, scream at me and suggest that to do so would deprive me of the "full power" (whatever the hell that is), my mind is completely made up.

    Maybe it's time I started taking steroids.

    Have you seen any ridiculous PSA's?

  • 9 Manly Video Games

    [ed. - If you like this article you should check out our brothers at Hardest Level]

    I get comments often from women who don't understand why guys play video games, and they will more often than not dismiss it as "kid's stuff".

    But little do these female know is that there are plenty of manly video games out there. Some with depth, some with ACTION and AWESOME (yes that did require caps lock)
    Here's a list, in no particular order.

    1. God of War (I and II)


    Is he slaying someone while atop a huge bird? You bet he is. This game involves nothing short of you being badass while the rest of the greek gods shudder in fear of your awesome. Yeah, the storyline isn't a masterpiece, but the action more than makes up for it. More Here...
  • I Love My Car

    Ahh there she is.  My baby.  Go ahead and take a good look.  Nice, right? 

    No, no.  Not the girl, behind the girl.  That's right, the car.  Yeahhhhh.  That's what I'm talking about right there.  I worked seven long, overtime filled years bagging groceries to afford that bad-boy right there.  It was worth every second.  Made a lot of sacrifices and just kept saving up.  Now she's mine.  All mine.More Here...
  • Kriss Kross - Jump

    Oh, this is a classic. Who doesn't love Kriss Kross? You? Get out of my blog! You are not welcome here! Ok, so I may have a slight obsession with early 90s hiphop and R&B. This is not what I call a problem. Also, it was your head editor's birthday yesterday and this was the official theme song of the day. So, just enjoy.
