This Guy Sucks!: Tony Hayward

There are a lot of guyʼs who suck out there. I mean thereʼs Chris Brown, 50 Cent, my alcoholic Uncle Tony (we all have one), your boss, but you Tony Hayward have been awarded our This Guy Sucks award for the week. You are looking at the man who said “They are dealing with the cleanup and compensation to those affected, and while they have been dealing with it, their initial efforts also highlight that they’re ultimately looking out for themselves.”  Which basically means “I only care about myself and this sucks for everyone else.” Who couldn’t care about the people who died, damages, and the animals?

Who could not care about this? So from me to you Mr. Hayward, YOU SUCK!

5 Things You Need in Your Apartment

Hello All,

Living on my own for a year I finally figured out what the “essentials” to have your in apartment.

1) Food: Simple and easy. Go shopping once a week and buy real food. Not snacks. You never know when a lady friend might want to come over for some dinner. What are you going to do? Order-In? A friend’s girlfriend recently cooked at my place and she laughed when she saw the refrigerator/freezer empty. We had to go out shopping for everything so she can cook. Buy a mix of macaroni,meat,bread,cheese, even pizza if you have too.

Around Our Network

Carlo over at DAPS wrote a kick-ass review on the new iPhone 4G. Take a look at his review before you blow it off & wait for the next one.

I’ve got the iPhone 4 and Now You Have This Review of It

Despite waiting on line for 7 hours yesterday at the Staten Island Mall, I’m very happy with my new iPhone. So here’s a straight to the point review I’ve put together.

Editor’s note: I’d like to apologize if this comes off as “fanboyish” but I’m genuinely impressed with the phone.


The First Narrow Light House

Christopher Bennett over at emiliosparks.com found a house that is being considered the first narrow light house ever.

If you’re trying to add some spice to your relationship, it is a good thing as long as you take little steps.  Many people go to adult shops with the idea of bringing home something exciting but get overwhelmed by how much “stuff” is available. But I can help you, so that when you go back home there isn’t a case of the blind leading the blind!

Backbreaker Demo Review

Fellow staffer Craig wrote an awesome review for T1GN. Make sure you check it out.

So finally the Backbreaker demo is here. Me being a demo whore I had to download it as soon as it came out. This game has been talked about for a few years now and always getting pushed back due to uncertain reasons. So I loaded it and started the exhibition game right away,ready to break some tackles and score! Well I was in for a surprise. If you are expecting NFL Blitz then this is not the game for you. If you are expecting Madden well this is definitely not the game for you.

I recommend anyone who plays the demo to start with the training mode first to get the controls down pat. The controls are very different than any football game I have played. After playing a few games I got the hang of it but it was not what I was expecting. I think this game will be a failure at launch since it will give everyone false hope of a game better than Madden.

The Good:

  • The gaming engine is amazing.
  • Running is finally easier than passing.

The Bad:

  • All players move the same.
  • Passing the ball is not easy.
  • No real teams/players.

I don’t see this game making an impact in the market. I rather play NFL Blitz or Madden.

Quick thoughts on E3 2010

Our friend Davy over at nerdpundit.com wrote a great review on the E3 2010. Be sure to check it out.

With Microsoft and Sony playing catch-up to Nintendo each with their own version of motion control, it was easy for Nintendo to steal the bacon. While Sony and Microsoft both attempted to wow us with their new hardware, which promises to make us feel more physically invested and involved in games, Nintendo instead focused on games. Promising a new Zelda, new Kirby, a new Donkey Kong Country, new Metroid, and a remake of Goldeneye 007.

I’m not trying to say that Microsoft and Sony didn’t give us anything to be excited about because they certainly did. Microsoft’s main highlights were when they debuted sequels to their most popular franchises Halo and Gears of War. Gears of War 3 is going to feature 4 player campaign mode which looks pretty awesome. Sony’s biggest highlights came from sequels to their younger franchises InfamousDead Space, and Little Big Planet. As well as a return of an old classic, Twisted Metal, whose multiplayer features might have you busy for hours.

We’re coming to a changing of the guard, where developers are excited to be rid of the confines of the typical controller, and are now experimenting with the limits of motion control games. Unfortunately we might have to endure a slew of crappy games until the industry molds to what works and what doesn’t. It would be foolish think there wasn’t a learning curve with these things. One motion control game that worries me is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I’m concerned about gamer’s stamina. To exhaust a Zelda title of all of its features can at times take 40+ hours. When the effort of a sword swing, bomb throw, or arrow shot is increased from a simple button combination to actual motions done performed by you, I worry that those 2-4 hour games will be a lot more tiring. Tiring to the point where effort verse return value might slip to the other side of the proverbial line, because if this happens and the effort of playing the game is greater than the entertainment value received from playing it then we’re going to see a lot of unfinished quests. This would be a terrible thing. I’m hoping in the future that there will be two types of games in for each system, motion control games and classic controller games, because sometimes I just want to sit back relax and let my character do all the work.

What was the most disappointing or exciting parts of E3 for you?

Man Moment: Be a Nice Guy

Out For Justice staring Steven Segal is a kick-ass movie with mad fight scenes. And even though the movie is start to finish awesome, a true man moment should provide both a brutal ass beating and an important life lesson. That is why I have selected this scene as this weeks Man Moment.

Eating Fruit Can Change The Way You Taste…Yes You.

Fruit can do a lot more for your body than you think. Fruits contain many vitamins and minerals and natural substances that your body needs to maintain itʼs health. Also, eating the daily recommended serving of fruit can help prevent certain chronic diseases. The daily recommended amount of fruit is 2-4 servings.  Thatʼs a lot of benefits for having to do nothing other than eating some delicious, freshly picked strawberries, cherries, watermelons and all of the other fruits out there, especially during the summer season.

But wait! Fruit does something else for your body that you might not be aware of!

Eating fruits such as plums, mangos, pineapples, nectarines, limes, grapefruit, apples and pretty much all fruits are actually thought to make semen taste sweet because of the natural sugar content. So next time you sit down with a nice plate of fruit, just remember your helping your body, and your girlfriend will thank you also :)

How many people have YOU slept with?

Does the girl your talking too need to know your sexual past and how soon is too soon to talk about it?

This may seem like a loose-loose situation to most. Your not a man-whore but your sweet-talking and charming good looks (thanks to us!) have been able to get you doing the no-pants-dance with some ladies. So what is the correct answer when your newest fling asks you about your past?

If the number is too high she will think your a player and if the number is too low she might think your inexperienced and wonʼt be able to please her. The best thing to do is try and avoid answering the question directly because either way it will be criticized. Let her know that it doesnʼt matter because it is the past and she is what matters now. If that doesnʼt satisfy her and sheʼs absolutely insisting she gets a number, my only suggestion that if itʼs above 10 just leave it at that. Whatever you do, donʼt ask for the number of her partners. This is a sure way to have your smokinʼ hot babes head spin around likman and show her what your working with!

Pipe City: Tehmeena Azfal

If the name Tehmeena Azfal doesnʼt ring a bell, it will from now on. This gorgeous Pakistani model was recently named Impact Model of the Year from the Southern Entertainment Awards, has been in numerous hip-hop music videos, spreads in magazines like Dimepiece Magazine (and she is definitely a dimepiece) and was on MTVʼs Silent Library. I wouldnʼt mind laying next to (or on top of?) Meena on the beach looking like that, na mean na mean. To see more pictures of Meena, check out her website or look her up on MySpace, Facebook and Twitter!
