At E3 this year Ford and EA’s franchise The Sims have commissioned artist Brandon Regner to paint a 12′ x 23′ mural along with artist Allan Salmi during the course of the 3 days of E3. On the first day we walked by the mural, which had been been outlined on a giant white wall and only [...]

Ubisoft invited The Buzz Media this year to their Media Briefing. Below are out individual impressions. Riyad’s Thoughts We want to thank Ubisoft for inviting us to their media briefing today and giving us glances at what they have in the pipeline leading up to Q1 2012. Going in, Patrick and I were trying to [...]
Pre-E3 2011 Goodness
Alrighty so the conference hasn’t officially started but we went down to get my badge and took a bunch of pictures to share of what the place looks like before the show. We did get an invite to Ubisoft’s press conference which was pretty exciting given my big goose egg for invites last year. We [...]
The Buzz Media at E3
Just a heads up that Riyad and I will be attending and reporting on E3 next week. Our coverage should be pretty much like last year although with more media meetings and Q and A’s. We’ll be hitting up the Ubisoft press conference as well so is should be even more in depth than ever [...]
SFW: Porn Reveals the Truth about Men and Women
This article is safe for work; I am just pointing you to another article over at The Atlantic that might be NSFW just because of language. The article is called “Hard Core” by Natasha Vargas-Cooper. It is a lengthy piece, looking at how pornography (in its infinitely distributed form since the internet-explosion) gives us a [...]
Coupling (Original BBC TV Series) is on Hulu
If your knowledge of the TV show “Coupling” is limited to the US attempted remake of the BBC classic, then you owe it to yourself to watch the original series. Fortunately Hulu has your back as the original BBC series is now available in it’s entirety (which unfortunately was only 3 great series and a [...]
Pop Music Rewritten in Orchestral Scores
What happens when you take your favorite pop songs (whether it be Bad Romance or Living on a Prayer) add a talented and passionate orchestra musician (Walt Ribeiro) then put the whole thing in the oven and bake it? You get For Orchestra. Walt, with the help of a passionate music community, has combined his [...]
Emails From an A**hole Book Review
Emails from an Asshole: Real People Being Stupid is the book form of the hilariously ingenious (and simple) website by John Lindsay: DontEvenReply.com I only became aware of Emails from an Asshole (I will refer to this as EFAA from now on) after completing my read-through of Sh*t My Dad Says and enjoying it quite [...]

25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee – Review
Okay, so a friend of mine hooked me up to see the final dress rehearsal of the Arizona Onstage production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee – opening tonight at the Temple of Music and Art (330 S. Scott Ave.) – and I gladly accepted. I hadn’t seen it and I thought it would [...]
Holy Awesome, Batman! Sequel to The Dark Knight to be shot entirely in IMAX!?
News came out today via ign.com that the sequel to 2008′s absolutely amazing “The Dark Knight” may be shot from start to finish in the IMAX format. For those of you who remember (lay off the alcohol and it’ll come back to you) “The Dark Knight” was shot only partially for IMAX screens. The total [...]
Paranormal Posers – Redux
I am sure you have all become rather well-acquainted with my previous Paranormal Posers post. While it’s original intention was to point out the blanket of hatred that covers the entire paranormal community by those that either don’t believe us or the inter-community jealousy held by disgruntled members towards anyone else who has attained any modest success [...]
Big Brother 12-The Saboteur Week 1
It is that time of summer again! Yes that time when those of us obsessed with Big Brother plop in front of the TV three times a week to watch a group of house guests from all over the country compete with each other for half a million dollars. Week one of season 12 is [...]
Damn You, Paranormal Posers!!!
Wait. What’s a paranormal poser? I mean, I am FULLY PREPARED to unleash a litany of strongly-worded STRONG WORDS towards anyone bringing tarnish and untoward monkey-business into the most holy of holies – paranormal investigation – but FIRST, I must get to the bottom of this “paranormal poser” situation. According to a new, timely, and [...]
Sylvester Stallone Still Has Awesome Veiny Arms
We wrote about Stallone’s badass veiny arms a few years ago before Rambo IV and it looks like Stallone is back in the gym (10 hours a day from the looks of it) to make sure he looks awesome for The Expendables, his upcoming action flick with every single action hero ever from the 80s and [...]
The Day The Music Changed The World…
I can’t believe it’s been 25 years. The single greatest lament of my life – aside from the fact that I am having to rewrite this entire post because the Youtube video decided it needed to obliterate my entire original text – is the fact that we were visiting family IN PENNSYLVANIA a week or [...]
PROSTITUTION MEDIA WHORE!!!!
The Real Housewives of the Paranormal. First, I love Teresa, and I really wanted to use this now famous picture of her, right before flipping that table, to illustrate the intensity of the ongoing DRAMA, which will henceforth be referred to as Paratardation. As you will all recall, a few weeks back I posted a [...]
E3 Statues and Oddities
A lot of sights do Booth Babe features but instead of feeling like a sex-starved lech on the show floor I thought I would take a tour of the impressive statues and crazy things E3 has to offer. Walking around it almost gets to a point where these thing s seem normal until you come [...]
E3 Short Previews
Closing in on the end of my E3 coverage I have a few more games I managed to get some hands on time with but there isn’t much to put into a preview. So here are the short videos and impressions. Here goes. Crackdown 2 The gameplay feels a lot like the first game with [...]
E3 Mortal Kombat Preview
Taking its cue from Capcom’s recent back to basics approach to fighting games, Mortal Kombat is returning to its roots. This means 2D gameplay rendered with 3D graphics and a whole lot of violence and gore. This new return to form for Mortal Kombat was not playable at the show and the presentation was a [...]
E3 Videos!
These are videos I took while walking around but I didn’t play myself so I don’t have a full preview to write on them. I will include my impressions after each video. Some are better than others and most are really short snippets of gameplay. Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Multi-player. I didn’t get to play this [...]
This “Whispering” Makes Me Want to SCREAM.
Okay, I know this post isn’t nearly as exciting as Patrick’s recap of E3, but I have a rant that’s just prairie-doggin’ to come out. I just recently started watching random episodes of The Ghost Whisperer. You probably are wondering why I am only just now bringing this up since the show has been on [...]
SteelSeries Spectrum Preview
As I mentioned in yesterday’s summary, I sat down with the SteelSeries people about their new line of Xbox 360 audio peripherals. SteelSeries is mostly known for PC products designed with professional competitive gamers in mind. When they decided to get into the console market they went to the 360 and they brought the experience [...]
