Angry Birds Live
When I first saw this “Angry Birds Live” spot for T-Mobile, I immediately thought two things. : 1) Wow, this is cool. 2) Wow, they sure hired a lot of hip young attractive people for all the reaction shots. But, if you can detach yourself from the “forced” feeling of the crowd reactions (and the fact that it’s a T-Mobile spot using a game that’s... Read More
Look out Apple: Amazon launches Mac App Download Store
When I first read the headline “Amazon launches Mac Download Store“, I thought it was an Onion headline. Somehow it almost seemed akin to Amazon building it’s own Macs for some reason. Yet, sure enough, it DOES exist, and just as the Amazon music store beats Apple’s iTunes in most ways, it looks like Amazon’s Mac App Store is also out doing Apple’s... Read More
Droid mascot gets his own iOS game – has a girlfriend?
You know, if there’s one thing I’m jealous of in the Android world it’s their super cute robot mascot. As successful as Apple has been by keeping all their advertising locked in a bland, white world for the last 20 years, their commercials are just not fun to watch. They lack personality. But that little green robot… he practically OOZES charisma, as do... Read More
Games that don’t suck: Army of Darkness Defense
GAMES THAT DON’T SUCK is a feature dedicated to games that I think are well worth your hard earned money, but not worth me sitting down and spending 3 hours crafting an in-depth review (these things are usually 99¢ after all). However, you can rest assured that any game bearing Macenstein’s GTDS rating is worth buying, sight unseen, based solely on my expert opinion. ... Read More

Angry Birds meets Star Wars – But where’s Bacon Fett?
If there was one underlying message children were meant to take away from the Star Wars movies, it’s that bad guys are WAY cooler than the good guys. Just like in the REAL life. And I think that message comes shinning through in this set of “Star Wars meets Angry Birds” mockups. The Imperial Pigs kick ass. Although, I would have loved to see Bacon Fett. (or would...

Portal 2 Blue screen of death
Among many other cool little Portal 2 spoilers, SuperPunch posted this awesome screenshot of a death most of us haven’t seen in a LOOOONG time. (OK, so it’s not an “official Windows” death screen, but it certainly ain’t a spinning beach ball). Read More
Portal 2 for Mac is out via Steam
What with my damn wiener kids sucking up all my free time, I haven’t even gotten around to picking up a copy of Civilization 5 yet, so the odds of me ever playing Portal 2 are somewhere between slim to none. Still, for those of you young enough/smart enough to not yet have ruined life with marriage and children, it’s out on SteamPlay now, so go get it. (I’m kidding... Read More
