Company Makes Gun Targets That Bleed And Look Like Your Ex Girlfriend

Wendy Reed — Wed, 08 May 2013 14:00:49 +0000

Sometimes, after a particularly bad break up, people need to cleanse themselves of everything that reminds them of their ex. Pictures? Burn 'em. OR, use thumbtacks to poke little holes in their glossy-finished face (not that I've done that). But, a company who prides themselves on helping people prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse has made it easier to get back at your ex, or at least an effigy of her, by making a shooting target named "The Ex". And it bleeds when you shoot it. I'm not kidding.

DEVICE's Debut Album-Good or Bad?

Ned — Thu, 02 May 2013 17:00:29 +0000

David Draimen is a pretty well known name in the music and metal community. The frontman of Disturbed and a Twitter feed that is constantly being updated with something political. I LOVE Disturbed, so when I heard they were going on hiatus, I was disappointed and worried. Draimen is keeping busy though with his side project DEVICE, whom just released a debut album...is it good though?

West Michigan Gaming Convention 2013 Draws the Gaming Community

Ned — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:00:48 +0000

I am a huge gamer. I love old school and new school video games! Gaming is the blood that runs through my veins. Recently, I have also taken an interest in Table Top Gaming too. Games like Warhammer, Magic: The Gathering, and many others. (Gimme a break, I am just finding out about these). So of course, I checked out the first annual West Michigan Gaming Convention, and it did not disappoint.

Poker Night 2 Review

Luke Brown — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 00:00:30 +0000

Telltale Games surprised a lot of people with the announcement of Poker Night 2, a sequel to a niche game with quirky co-stars and lots of humor. This follow-up picks up where the original left off, and brings a host of new faces and catch phrases to the poker table. Though it isn't as robust or deep as some other poker video games, Poker Night 2 has an incredible amount of charm and wit to more than help it stand out from the crowd.

Injustice: Gods Among Us Review

John Llewellyn Martin — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 10:57:58 +0000

Every once in a while, a fighting game comes along that heralds in a new era of brawlers and redefines the genre, changing everything fight fans knew and shakes them to their frame-counting cores. Unfortunately, Injustice: Gods Among Us is not that game. But regardless, it's still a pretty kickass experience for both lovers of fighting games and fans of DC Comics' pantheon of heroes and villains. And for those who like those things all rolled into one, it's something truly entertaining.

BioShock Infinite Review

John Llewellyn Martin — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:53:48 +0000

BioShock Infinite has been one of the most anticipated games in recent memory and has suffered the slings of release date delays and criticism from certain interest groups, but that hasn't stopped its incredibly powerful buzz train from bringing our expectations to new heights. Does it deliver on its promises and keeps us floating in the throes of ecstasy? Or does it belong in the murky depths, like a certain other city we know and love? (Not a negative thing, really. We like Rapture!)

Gears of War: Judgment Review

Luke Brown — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:31:11 +0000

Epic’s Gears of War franchise has been a landmark series for the Xbox 360.

Enter People Can Fly, who took the opportunity to craft a game [...]

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City…Was it Really That Bad?

Ned — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:00:10 +0000

I was so excited for this game! I have been a fan of Resident Evil for years. Ever since the first game came out, I watched my brother play it from beginning to end. Then I finally figured out how to play the game, and then my love for the series began. Resident Evil 1,2,3,4, Code Veronica, are all amazing games! Then the spin-offs began...and RE: Operation Raccoon City came around, with some really mixed reviews, some good...most bad.

Play! A Video Game Symphony… Was it Gamer Approved?

Ned — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:40:48 +0000

Last night, I went and checked out the Grand Rapids Symphony. Normally, I never really attend the Symphony because classical music doesn't appeal to me to much. Last night however, the DeVos Performance hall was packed with crazed gamers, young and old! Why? The symphony performed some of our favorite video game songs. Was I satisfied with it though?

Review – 'Amazing Spider-Man' Delivers Thrills But Seems All Too Familiar

Dave Kim — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 20:21:16 +0000

Many fans of the beloved Spider-Man franchise let out a collective groan when Marvel Comics announced they were rebooting the film series with The Amazing Spider-Man. Only five years have passed since Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 was released, and ten years since the the director's first movie in his trilogy. The Amazing Spider-Man is out in theaters this week with a whole new cast and new director at the helm, but uses the same old Spidey formula.

'UFC Undisputed 3′ Wants To Fight For Your Love

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:00:14 +0000

When you’re pinned to the canvas with knuckles in your ribs, a knee in your kidney and hundreds of pounds of sweaty man-flesh urging you to tap out before you lose consciousness, it’s definitely time to re-evaluate what you’re doing. Such was the metaphorical situation in which the fledgling UFC series found itself a couple [...]

gary.chenoweth — Wed, 11 May 2011 15:44:46 +0000

A new iPhone app called iAugment allows women who are considering breast augmentation to see how they would look with a new pair without actually having to go to the plastic surgeon to get an expensive and potentially embarrassing virtual visualization.

The app is simple enough to use: All you do is upload a picture, highlight the breasts, and then decide how big you want to make them. If you want to see another size, you just shake the phone and start again.
