Don’t know whether this is the eggnog talking or just an overwhelming urge spread the Merry Madness, but there are a couple of different way to win yourself some free iPhone-controlled goodies this week (Dec. 10-14). And while we’re always happy to sell you our products, we also believe in giving a little in the […]
To celebrate the awesome that is the Halo 4 release, we convinced our boss to let us have a LAN party. And as if that wasn’t enough (and it’s not), we’re officially throwing down the gauntlet and challenging the whole of Xbox Live to a 2-hour Halo-off with prizes and bragging rights on the line. […]
For those of you who couldn’t make With Your Friends this weekend, here’s a little of what you missed. Your browser does not support the video tag Bass was dropped. Beats were filthy. Fun was had by all.
Confession time. I’ve never been particularly good at video gaming. Even though I’m old enough to have smelled the styrofoamy wonderfulness of an NIB Atari 2600 as my next door neighbor showed it off the morning after Christmas, I’ve never really connected.

Every year, social networks are choked with otherwise-intelligent people talking about how excited they are about Shark Week. But, seriously, who actually likes sharks? Sharks are hideously ugly prehistoric killing machines with cold, dead […]
I’ve never been one for Spring Fever. I’ve always been more of a Fall Fever guy. I look forward with relish to fiery red leaves and sweater weather, bonfires and heavy beers. I missed Nude Beach‘s second album, II, when the band self-released it this Spring, only to see it quickly sell out while on […]
NPR is streaming Hypnotic Nights, the new album from Nashville natives JEFF the Brotherhood. Their Third Man Records single “Whatever I Want” was featured in our Twenty announcement video a few months back, but if that’s your only exposure to the Brothers Orrall, get ready to feel the wind in your hair. Hypnotic Nights is […]
Though we’ll only be at Ghost Ranch for a week on vacation, my family, my mom, and my brother’s family are packing more computing power than the first 20 Space Shuttle missions needed. To wit: 2 iPhones 2 iPod touches 4 iPads (2 1st generation, 1 2nd, 1 3rd) 1 Galaxy Nexus 1 Samsung Intensity […]
