Thrustmaster Y-250C Headset Review

  This is a versatile headset that will be a perfect fit for a wide array of users. While these would fit perfectly in high-level competitive gaming, the headset will work on handheld consoles (DS/PSP) and cellular phones (iPhone). The Y-250C headset is one of the few that fits well enough to accompany glasses; every other pair of headphones / headsets that I have utilized have become painful with extended…

Clive Working for the Man in the Age of Vinyl by Don Silver Book Review

Not to be confused with the just-released memoir by Arista Records legend Clive Davis (The Soundtrack of My Life), Don Silver’s slim, paperback memoir covering much of the time he worked with Davis is actually a far more interesting read. Yes, Davis admits to his bisexuality and battles with Kelly Clarkston in his autobiography, but Silver is far more revealing about just how much of a jackass his former boss…

Kikwear 32” New Super Deluxe Pants Review | Glowstick Ninja T-Shirt Review

GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling DVD

  GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling is a documentary that looked to capture the unique tenor that the titular promotion had. The production was on par with the regional federations at its time (GLOW was formed in 1985), while the vignettes and characters seemed to forecast the New Generation era of the WWE. While the wrestlers were a blend of trained and actresses, there was no…

Mohu The Leaf Ultimate Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna Review

This is perhaps the best antenna that we have ever seen; while there are a number of efforts on the market, The Leaf Ultimate surpasses them in sheer quality. The mud-flap styled design (established originally by the U.S. military) provides a large surface area. This allows the antenna to pick up the widest array of signals; The Leaf Ultimate has a range of 50 miles. The Leaf Ultimate is multidirectional,…

Matt Costa S/T CD Review

  The cohesiveness of Costa’s new album will bring a number of new fans aboard. The album opens up with Loving You, a track that looks back at 2010’s Mobile Chateau while allowing Costa to shift things considerable. Lyrical intensity melds perfectly with an approachable instrumentation to give the album the momentum it needs to succeed. Early November is the shortest effort on the title, but Costa utilizes the 2:30…

Terraria Xbox Live Arcade Review

In 2011, indie publisher Re-logic released Terraria on PC, and saw sales erupt to the tune of 1.6 million copies. Two years later, and backed by international publisher 505 Games, Terraria has made its way onto Xbox Live Arcade, and the result is one of the most robust offerings on the platform to date. Terraria is a 2D platformer with a heavy emphasis on exploration, harvesting materials and crafting. It’s…

Gabriel Iglesias Aloha Fluffy Blu-Ray Review

Gabriel Iglesias has evolved considerably since eir initial stand-up specials. I feel that what has changed the most is Iglesias’s pacing. There never was an issue to be had with the material or the interaction that ey had with the audience, but Iglesias does well in Aloha Fluffy to ratchet things up considerably and establish a strong cadence for each joke. What results in Aloha Fluffy is bar none one…

Shugo Tokumaru In Focus? CD Review

  Shugo Tokumaru has continually evolved eir music to create something substantively different each time out. In Focus? is Tokumaru’s latest album, and the compositions that issue forth are some of the most complex efforts we have heard outside of full-blown concertos. The combined efforts of In Focus? provide listeners with a darkly emotive look into Tokumaru’s psyche as ey moves through indie to twee and even world music. Circle…
